it does get easier, I didnt have the same probs your having but it was hard at first and it still is hard but I wouldnt change it for the world I am down 76lbs and feel so much better, I dont crave things and I do get hungry but not like I use to. good luck on your journey

Good luck. You know, I understand exactly how you feel. For years I worked out 7 days a week an hour to 2 hours a day with very little weight loss. I did struggle with portion control and sweets but for the most part I was pretty under control. I would be beside myself when I'd worked out so hard and would gain, although I would chop it up to muscle gain (with a six foot one frame, I have more muscle than the average woman anyway), but I would still feel frustrated because it was the loss of pounds I was looking for. Anyway, I had my surgery March 28th of this year and so far I've lost 42 pounds. I think you, like so many of us who worked their butts off before getting the surgery, will be a great success story. Again, good luck to you and I hope for you all the success and triumphs that you can't even imagine :-)

"Nut up or shut up" lol that movie was to funny! I'm not a fan of walking but I love the concept of being able to run. Baby steps

Feel better!

I love this as well, TexasMiss I have my own fantasies of participating in a 5K with a shirt that reads, I lost xxx lbs, I smoked for 30 years and quit, I have had a heart attack and survived....

Funny I read your blog and it bought tears to my eyes as I sit back and realize just how much trouble im in. You are so lucky. I am married but by words only we have a torterous horrible existance of a marriage, my husband calls me every name in the book pertaining to fat he is in the works of brainwashing my 6 year old boy to go against me my son actually called me fatty tonight i cant tell you how awesome that felt, my husband is just sitting back waiting for me to fail at this as I did with my other attempts at weightloss. I loved your blog and wish I had your support system but unfortunayely im on my own. I know your life isnt easy the word twins is in the mix, lol my neices are twins 2 years old lord a handful !!! But you nailed it self worth is a huge word and powerful. I think I need to find some before I go in for my sugery. You are a lucky lady. Just remember when things get crazy and hectic and Im sure they do quite alot, there is one of your lines I loved, I got this. so just remember that you got this and hopefully so will I.

Praying for you

So sorry you're suffering. Hopefully the medication will help.

The night before my surgery, after the cut off time for eating/drinking, I got this big craving for french fries, I swear I could smell them! The next morning I woke up and while getting ready to head to the hospital, I got this over whelming craving for a cinnamon roll! I hadn't even thought about trying to eat those things in months. I told myself if I still wanted them in 6 months, I could have a bit. The thought of a cinnamon roll now makes me want to hurl! Good luck with your surgery

this is a great beginning to your story! Keep coming back and sharing whenever you find time for you. I can relate in so many ways to your story (as I am sure many of us here can) the main focus your story gave me was what also started me on my journey... my mom! my mom will be 60 this summer, she was totally awesome when I was really young (toddler up to around age 15 or 16) REALLY active, always doing something. Our roof was to repaired on our house and she was the first one up there! Then my sister passed away, 4 yrs later my mom had breast cancer, a year later, cancer is back, 2 yrs after she went through another major health problem.. next thing you know shes in a motorized scooter! 5'2" 325#! she cant walk because she spent so much time down and out now her weight wasn't letting her get up and around... in Feb 2012 she had a gastric bypass. She has lost 120#!!! she is out walking, goes shopping now, she takes walks with her little dog... I LOVE the change it has made. I started this journey because I started feeling lazier because of my weight, I was less likely to take the kids to the pool, less likely to go out to the playground... and I realized it wont be long before I am out shopping for my own motorized scooter! I do NOT think so!! Although its sad we cant always change the paths to where we are, we sure as heck can change direction to where we are going!
