I decided to start a blog or web diary about my wieght loss post op with the VSG because while i am home recovering from my surgery which was last Tuesday, I am experiencing a lot of emotions that I need to write down and process.  This journey has been 4 years in the making since I first started considering WLS.  In the early days, I was so uneducated.  I was ignorant and thought it was an easy way out.  I was one of those people ha! When I saw the results of a woman at my job who at the rny I was curious.  I found Obesity Help online and started researching different procedures and risks.  That was the begining...

 

So here I am sleeved and there is so many things that are going through my head.  I had a good expereince so far its 6 days out but I relize that I have a lot of major issues that need to be addressed.

 

1.  I am bored.

My sedintary lifestyle is extra noticable now that I cannot eat.

2. I was eating to remedy my boredom.

I cant eat now so I am really miserable

3. I dont have many freinds.

Me being a virtual recluse for the past 2 years has made my small circle of friends even smaller.

4. I dont have anyone to confide in.

I have one freind that can totally understand what im going through but he is a man and i feel its inappropriate to speak with him all the time since im married

5. I am unhappy with my marriage.  

I knew this already, but its enhanced now like 500 times

6. I need a life.

what does this mean? I hope I can be enlightended while i write this blog lol

 

anyway i will try to write everday and if you have comments please feel free to leave them.

 

so... today was hard.  I made dinner for the family. I felt like I needed to do something I am so bored.  I wish I could have tasted my teriaki baked chicken and bow tie pasta & veggie alfredo mix.  the kids said it was great.  sigh...

 

as the days pass, i relize that food was my life and without it, i feel empty, alone, bored, and a little depressed.  I know this stage will be gone soon and i will be on purees, but it depresses me that i was so attatched to food.  It satisfied me it pacified me I am an unhappy woman and food was a way to ignore what was wrong.

 

whats wrong?  not sure i have some theories though.  I need a more loving and romantic relationship.   my husband is not a very lovey dovey person.  i barly get hugs or kisses from him.  I dont feel like im in a loving relationship.  its been like this for years and it hurts so bad.  for a long time i felt like he acted this way due to my weight.  i have a feeling that my wieght loss will end our relationship.  i have so much resentment and anger inside.

 

anyway im gonna end it there so i want go to bed a blubbering mess lol

 

till next time

 

xoxo

I am just begining this journey and have found a lot of useful information as well as advice from all of the nice and wonderful people on this site. We all go though similar things during this process. Weight loss surgery does not fix everything. It makes us actually deal with things that we used to use food to cope with. I am sure thing will get better for you. Hang in there!!!

I understand what you are going through. I lost my marriage a few years go and it was so hard. I am starting this journey with my adult son support he's 20. I am ready to change and save my lif like you did. We are given a choice daily how we want to live. Maybe he still has love for you and you to can get thearpy and save your marriage. My husband tried it was him who took me to therapy but by then it was so hard to still say i loved him. I stayed for 16 yrs. he did not do the things a normal man does for his family keep a job. Turns out he was dealing with mental illness it was something i could not do I was a survior of a mentally ill mother could not keep my teen in son in that enviroment. So he now lives in NYC my husband. I am happier. Work on you the rest will come together. Start counseling to deal with all these new emotions and pray. I am still working the process so soon there will be less of me too. Be blessed strong sister......smile

Coco! Very direct and heartfelt! I think this might just sum up how I will feel too. Food is my best friend in a way. I am isolated too. But this is an oppertunity to make more of your life! You don't want to have food as your best friend do you really? An acquaintance maybe... Time to take a class, learn how to paint or knit or sew or join a nature hiking club, or a dance class...learn how to use a new program on the computer, get a guitar.... what are your dreams from childhood? Its time to go for it. It is not easy to learn new skills, but after putting in the time, they get better, and you have stepped in an started creating a new you on the inside! Over two years ago I started taking bellydancing classes... when I was 50years old! Im still taking them, have meet a bunch of great gals and am getting a bit fit too. I still cant dance very well, but Im getting better and better. Im hoping when I get some weight off I can even do more. I love it!
