Year and a half out and hungry!

July 13, 2006

Can anyone help me? I need to talk to the veterans here. I had my

surgery 1/10/05 and have lost literally half of myself however lately

every moment has been a struggle. I've been feeling like I had before

surgery lately and it scares me... I'm hungry all the time and feel

like I have no willpower. I honestly feel like a failure at this and

am shocked at myself. I thought this would be my lifetime answer and

I'm scared I'm going to end up right back where I started. I even

want to try a diet pill/appetite suppressant which I know sounds

crazy. Just the thought of needing something like that after this is

nuts, but I'm not sure what else to do. My marriage ended because I

was fat and I am in a new relationship now and fear loosing this man

also if I gain weight. Plus (obviously) I don't want to undo what I

have done and it scares me that I've heard of people doing just

that...I'm nearly in tears but not sure who else to ask except those

who have been there.

Thank you and God bless!

Hi , Welcome to the group. We are glad you feel comfortable coming here. I

am only 6 mo. out now, but can say that you CAN get back on track. I can only

imagine how you feel right now, but you are aware of it and are reaching out for

help. That is the first step.

Are you drinking water and exercising at all? How is your protein intake? It's

going to take lots of practice again to get back into the grove of what you once

knew. Much dedication. If you don't mind sharing, how much did you weigh before

surgery and where are you now? Just think, you don't have to relose all the

weight you once did, you are still ahead.

Best Wishes,

Shauna
