No game

What was my moment? Life... Everyday life....

Wow! Is all I can say after reading all of these honest, raw, and beautiful words. I really love you guys.. I gave into stress? Emotions? Greed? late last night.. I was talking to a friend whose son is in the hospital, and stuffed as I was doing it... I spent the rest if the night waking up and belittling myself and early this morning I hated myself. I am human I make missteps. I run off of emotions. I am more than what I put in my mouth. I deserve the love I give to others too. I am worth loving.

Hi Lunaya, The best I can suggest is finding a counselor that deals with disorder eating. And find a support person or talk it out here... I am a binger too, this surgery does not stop me. Pain? I ate until pain before having this done, so the pain of eating to much isn't really a deterrent now, if I'm feeling a binge I will eat until I can't anymore then wait and eat again. What stops me now? I am honest with anyone who will listen. I come here and tell the ugly truth about what I'm feeling with food and emotions. And at home I tell my husband now EVERYTHING. So he knows when I'm having a rough time. I still fall sometimes. Last week he left for a few minutes and I ran into the kitchen and stuffed a whole Protein bar in my face while he was gone (I'm a sneak eater) But after, I came clean and told him what i did. so it's not a secret I talk about what I was feeling when it happened.

Well I was sleeved at 46.. Do I feel 30?? No...,but I feel like a pretty good 47! I can't say surgery turned me into superwoman. But I'm a lot more active and moving around on life is so much easier!

Wow HDubSleevery, Thanks for all the tips! I will ask about all the meds too, they already started me on a prescription of vitamin D a couple of weeks ago. But know I'm armed Witt more info and questions to ask.

Good, I'm glad you get to go home. When your feeling a bit better let us know what happened, what they said?

Aaron, How are you doing? Any updates..

Haha! I just looked at my drivers license yesterday it says 170 but there is a big face of 235 staring back out at me there! How could they let me lie so bad!

As I sit here drinking my half regular half decaf morning cup of joe.. I say wait and talk to your surgeon about it. I took up drinking it again (though only half strength) but I waited months! I also know that it's risky, dehydration and I went to a support meeting recently and talked to a woman that developed an ulcer (painful) and coffee might have been a contributing factor..

MEN'S ROOM WOMEN STAY OUT! (Them's the rules)

You look like a different person! Really! Not even the same man in that second picture! I see a happy healthy man in that second picture that looks like he has always been that way! Oh **** mans room... Go on "recycled" jump down my throat I messed up

To her defense Lowe only started FOUR new threads about this deal, tsk tsk. Oh you mean the OTHER person, yes Molly don't talk to me about the cookies! I ate one yesterday ugh!!!

It sounds like you would do very well calling a therapist, one that's deals with disordered eating preferably.. getting therapy through weight loss is crucial if you are dealing with eating disorders (which a lot of us are) Good luck to you, Laura

Ok girls, oh so much going on here! I missed posting yesterday because I was at a ice cream social with my son held by his piano teacher. And yes I ate ice cream.... FYE, yes we are moving into a chapter of our lives that aging parents are becoming a factor. Your dad sounds like a strong independent person. I hope he's on the mend and up and around soon. Cheri, f**k meds! I hate them and I hate that they mess with our weight! I would be pissed too. I think I'm going to be in the same boat soon with this stupid thyroid. I will not be happy because I don't need anymore challenges on the weight loss front thank you... Coops! Hi! Welcome back! nice job only gaining a few pounds on vacation, hell I can gain that overnight! So you did good! And a bikini?? OMG! That's awesome!!! Swizzly, Fit bit I have one too! It's in a drawer and I've never learned how to use it How's that for lazy! Haha if I hook that thing up it would probably spend the day saying "move bi**h"! Hehehe... Daisy, Are you ok? Wow that sounds like a horrible fall! I hope you had a doctor look at you, if you start getting any headaches please go in. Globe, I've not eaten oatmeal, but I'm looking into getting some healthy grains in sometimes but I haven't figured out yet what. Ok, skinniness and sweetums. Stress its so strong right now for all of us I've noticed and food has taken its old place back for coping ugh! Ok everyone.. Now don't yell at me or kick me out of here.. But I've noticed a trend of trying to fast and well for whatever reason it just didn't work. Or we went 100 or 200 calories over. while yes we can always try another day... I propose that this week we just do it. Stick to our days and just do it! DON'T CURSE ME OUT!!! Oh and I was listening to a taped recording of Mosley (5:2 guy) and in this he said he eats Breakfast on fast days and puts almost 12 hours before dinner? I guess I was under the assumption that the eating window was more like 8 hours on a fast day? Anyway if you read this whole post? I admire you! With my attention span I would of started scanning half way through!

San Jose! I live in Los Gatos but I had my surgery in San Jose (I just saw your other post about it) I'm a stomach sleeper too. The first week or so was hard because I couldn't lay on my stomach. For the most part I slept semi propped up.. I read that one or two people actually slept on their stomach right away, but for me the pain factor made it impossible.

There are tons of revisions from band people here as a matter of fact they even have a sub-forum here. Good luck to you http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/forum/13-band-to-gastric-sleeve-revisions/

Control? Yes I think that's part of it. I like giving my body a rest two days a week from the all day grazing we seem to do as sleevers (me anyway) Too... Oh yes I drink Water and sugar free drinks all day!

Thanks girlie! I can use that... I'm feeling my age tonight
