No game

Obsessive thinking! So I never tried my plain yogurt last night because I'm sick as a dog and watch out I'm a big cry baby when I'm sick... I pouted when my husband went to work in the ER this morning, Why do they get his care, not me! Anyway can't eat... BUT IT HAS NOT STOPPED ME FROM THINKING ABOUT FOOD! I think about all day all night, if I wake up in the middle of the night I think about it, I think about it more than I've ever eaten it (thank god I'd be 1000lbs) I torture myself thinking about it.. I need to think about why I think about it.. How many years of therapy and its still not figured out.

Interesting I wonder if the pain you have been having is gallbladder?!? Nicole I'm so sorry to hear this, I know my doctor had me take actigal for 5 months but it really was a moot point for me because my loss is so slow.

Don't be sorry! And yes I can tell a big difference! That's pretty good for just six weeks

Yes you are right HE has to want to change, Take care, and encourage him to come on here for support. Laura

Ok posted this at big fat people thought I'd put it here before I start cleaning fish tanks... You know guys I have to admit our house seems to be full of **** lately it's like everyone here is going through a junk food stage.. I'm going to crack down on the crap. Hope they don't pull a mutiny on my ass Everyone in my house is fit.. As a matter of fact my husband and son must consume large amount of food or they lose weight But I've had to contend with bags of chips and all three of them eating them the last couple of weeks. So today I got away from the house, I went to the fish store to buy saltwater and flirt with the young boys that work there! Hehe my favorite past time, My husband always teases me by saying "do you want me to go too" knowing I'm going to say hell no! I stopped at the store and bought some smarter snacking options ( plain Greek yogurt anyone) I am going back to basics and I'm detoxing starting now. I can not do "moderation" and "I'm not going to treat this like a diet" That does not work for ME I am a person with food issues, call it what you want but it made me fat, and I'm tired of not living life fully.

Ok guys getting out today has really helped put a better light on this I am going to go to the store on the way home and try Greek yogurt with fruit. Thank you

Ok I'm going to buy plain Greek yogurt..

The Greek yogurt? Plain?

I posted this just now in "big fat people" Yes butter I know it's your favorite title here:p But I will put it here too. I am getting off of this computer now and I'm going to try to make something of this day... So... Yeah I did well yesterday.. Kinda anyway, Until last night it was comfort eating all the way. I knew it as I was doing it and though I don't want to, I do it anyway.. The two sides of me fight and it seems the strong me is weak, how can someone not want to do something but at the same time have no self control over stopping it? It was a Protein bar that got me, I wanted something sweet, I NEEDED something sweet!

OMG!!! HOW? I'm begging you! Tell me how you lost 102 pounds on 3 months? Oh by the way you look great

I think the first thing he needs to do is make a commitment to cut out the crap food that's is not helping his sickly appearance... Do you know why he is eating this way? Is it because it goes down more comfortably? Or does he feel that it will help him gain weight? I wonder what his digestion is like with all the high sugar/fat consumption..

I think that because you just had surgery a few days ago, yes it can be dangerous your stomach and nerves are still numb. It's really important in this stage to measure everything and stick to guidelines because you really can "feel" much yet.

Wow ok, Honestly you will be able to drink again but not for quite a while. Beer is one of the harder things to drink because of the carbonation... Now for the reality slap part. Food addiction and the way you drink now. I worry about the very real problem of "cross addiction" issues. Unfortunately a fair number of weight loss patients become alcoholics. If you are not one now becoming one is a very real possibility. I would say that a real deep look into this issue and perhaps counseling, before you take this step. Why trade one really bad thing for another.

Oh fiddle let me live through you... A vacation without children seems to never happen anymore! I don't even know if I remember how to be a grown up anymore 0_o

Danielle, I've read most of your posts, and I understand being nervous. This surgery is a major surgery, a major change in your life and it is not something you can take back. You should ask yourself is it worth the risk? And if yes then ask why? For me, I was on meds and going downhill. This was in my eyes, my last chance at life. I was willing to take the risk, and make the sacrifices but It comes with downsides. But I signed up and made that choice... I say this all to you because if I where a 30 bmi I don't know it I would honestly do it.. I just don't know. I think if you feel so confused, it would not be a bad thing to put it off even just for a week or two to really come to a place of peace about it. But if you feel in your heart that this is the right move. You need to realize the pre op is hard but also important, even with a low bmi you can have a fatty liver so this diet is to insure that things will go smoothly in the O.R. And know that every pound you gain is another that you will have to try and lose after surgery.. You will eat food again. I promise

If I can do it anyone can do it!! But really look at it like this this, the pre op is not just a "diet" this is what needs to be done for a safe surgery. That's what kept me going, knowing that I had to do it for "real" medical reasons. You guys will do great
