No game

I told myself I would not jump in here again... But I feel I must. I must say there are parts about this thread that I personally find distressing too. Yes everyone here knows that I have an addiction to food that I am trying to deal with.... Apparently I'm one of the very few people that do around here. I do not take pride in my moments of falling off the rails. Because it's not just a cookie! For some of us. It's the meaning behind that cookie and the many more to come after that first one. I know this is not entertaining and it might bore a few. But as someone who is a bit further out I can say it gets harder. I don't know maybe some of you started with very low bmi's and don't have that long of a road to travel? Or you truly don't like to much food and never had a real problem with it as some of you say? We are all different I will give you that. But in my heart of hearts I really feel that none of us got morbidly obese because we had a healthy relationship to food and just ate because we were truly hungry all the time..

I did things like refried beans and a bit of cheese, also turkey chili is good. Quick meal turkey meatball or loaf with some watery gravy and watery instant mashed potatoes. Same with chicken and gravy.

Do you teach us how to cook that on your new bariatric cooking show???

Wow coops that is awesome! You have talent!! I'm glad your mood has picked up, I'm feeling a bit better too. When you get as down as I was this weekend the only direction there is, is up... So I'm glad to be climbing out And yes I would move that ticker, it's been there and it's a new low. So now you hold on for dear life and shoot for the next pound down, At least that's what I do

Ok 7.8 miles on the recumbent bike today.. 30.8 miles total

I hope your headache goes away soon! You are doing so well! And yep it's for a very good reason

Lol, way to snag a man... Call him gay!

I'm so glad I'm not single..... Ok my dare is for you two to start PMing each other and form a new friendship.

Lol avid top model watcher here too! And when taking a pic?? It's about taking ten and picking the best one It's hard to believe a man would dump a woman over scars.. But I guess there are people out there like that (men and woman). But if someone were to do that? They are not worth your love and devotion anyway!

Oh and your stomach! I see no scars!! Lucky mine are dark and raised really bad! You are going to rock a bikini girl!!!

Cathy, My well wishes to your husband, hope he's doing better. I have nothing to add to the coconut oil besides the fact I see it marketed everywhere now? So good for you? Or new fad?? Ok fast today and I can use it! I had a bit if depression this weekend, funny how that and carbs go hand in hand... Happy day to the 5:2 girls today We can use it!

I have to agree with this.. Oh but they only have 60 calories They are tasty like a slim Jim meat sticks and are good for bariatric patients

Looking good Lisa! Come on people! there has to be more vets with "big pants" show us what you got!!!

Well part of being a girl is my ability to change my mind a million times! I cancelled. Her comments stayed with me longer than I would of liked. That combined with issues between our children are not what I need to deal with right now. Thanks for letting me use you guys as a sounding board

Feed you got your kayak then?? Have fun! I really want to own my own kayak some day

Wanted to check in and say I'm still among the living. I did 10 miles today on the bike (indoor) Total 23 miles Georgia, I'm sorry that you are hurting take care. Everyone else great job

Food "addition" I like that.. yes I guess on a bad day I add more and more food.. I guess we all have different reasons for having this surgery. I cannot tell what a persons motivation is when they post in distress sometimes.. I guess I'm not clever enough? By the way you are my role model too...

A little early for the combative stage (that usually hits 4 weeks post op) This surgery is not a cure.. (Duh) In fact it can be a major head game sometimes. As for bad choices? I guess you can call us all idiots because that's what got us here.. I cannot wax poetic like you, so I won't try. But falling off of the wagon eating a carb laden food is the beginning of the end for some.. It's really hard to know by just reading a post and forming an opinion about it. Power. I felt I had none when it came to food. I am not an idiot, but no matter what the diet or the therapy my food consumption was beyond my control most days. Control, I have a shaky grasp on it now.. My hands are tired and weak at the moment.. One taste, one bite.....taste, comfort, relaxing, friend. The hole is there, it is waiting to be filled. I am ( inset months) I am not cured the draw is strong. I'm happy for those of you that have it all figured out though...
