Warm thoughts and prayers sent your way! Get ready for your new life!

When I read post on here from this site and various others, I recall seeing several people discussing their pregnancies and how it affected their weight loss. Most, actually, all, were complaining of putting weight on that they were having a hard time losing. You have barely given yourself time to adjust!! There are some uncertainties that could come from doing this too early that I wonder if the risk are worth it? Even if you got the all clear light from your Dr. at 6 months, I would try to adapt more to this lifestyle before you make a major life change. I could be way off base here but what if being baby crazy is a new fix since being food crazy isn't an option anymore??

I know this may not be the most thought provoking and in depth approach to help with such strong emotions, but my go-to thing for feeling hyper emotional/crazy/weepy, is YouTube. Then i search for Jesus Christ in Richmond park, and I laugh every time. Then I search for Jeb Corliss Grinding the Crack and I get inspired. I can go about my business afterwards because 1. Finding pleasure and laughter at the simplest things reminds me that humor and happiness will overrule sorrow and tears . And 2. Anytime I feel inspired and uplifted I can easily dust my pants off and get back up again. Hope you feel better soon!

When you were describing your girlfriend, it sort of reminded me of myself and things my husband gets frustrated with me for. I don't know your whole situation, but is it possible that she is just dealing with things the best that she can and in all the chaos, stopping for emotional support is the last thing on her mind, as she is busy supporting someone else. What if she feels like she can't stretch herself around enough right now, between her mom needing her, and you needing her to know that you support her. Please note, I could be so far off on this, I just know that is how I feel when I am in those situations and my husband feels like I am shutting his support out. Its not because it isn't deeply appreciated, its just that it may not be completely needed at that point. Just put the words out there, I am here for you, and when she wants to take you up on that, how fortunate she is to have someone like you in her corner. With all that said, if she is chronically like this, it isn't necessarily a bad thing on her part. You may just be better suited with another personality type. My husband has just come to accept that sometimes I shut him out, for reasons that have nothing to do with him.

When I read your post the words Appetite Control jumped out at me. That sounds like heaven! Appetite Control. But to me, Phentermine is something different. When I think of Phentermine I think, stimulate. And what will happen when you stop being stimulated. Your system will slow down and you will gain weight. It is a vicious cycle. Some people are strong enough to stay out of it , others get sucked in without even knowing it. Please be careful.

I completely know how you are feeling. I have had several setbacks along the way. Some of them my fault and some due to all this red tape. I actually should already have been sleeved in April. Every day I wake up and think CRAP!! another day of feeling fat and out of shape. Words can not express how badly I want this done. I am set to be sleeved in September and while I am discouraged at times I have to remember that things happen for a reason. And while I am really pissed that I am having to wait even longer to get sleeved, I am trying to use this time wisely. Trying to do some mental housekeeping! Trying to change certain behaviors and incorporate walking and such into my life. You are probably already doing this too, I just want you to know that you are not alone! Time goes by so quickly it is scary. Before you know it you will be on here typing the words, " just got sleeved!!"

Hi! I have Cigna. They are requiring 3 consecutive months of medically supervised weightloss. I am seeing my primary care dr. once a month for this. My surgeon's office could see me for the visits, but it is a lot closer to just go to the regular dr. Cigna will want to see the following things properly notated by your physician each month; Height, Weight, BMI, diet plan and excersise plan you are following, and any change in weight and bmi noted each month. I am in the middle of my three months. It does feel like it is dragging by but I just keep thinking that time is always flying by and I can't believe it's already July! Hope everything goes well at your appointment. My first was great, it really put me at ease for some reason. I almost canceled it, but after meeting with my surgeon it just felt right, ya know?

Thanks for having the courage to type that out. To look outside of yourself for support. That to me is a very hard thing to do. I too have stuffed my feelings down with food after some of life's trauma. Your post reminded me of something I haven't put much thought into yet, and that is how to deal with the flood of emotions to come. A few months ago I went on this super healthy detox type diet. Nothing but raw veggies and fruit type of diet. It only lasted a week! But a few days in I started getting hit with super hard emotions. Some times even just randomly reliving in my mind a very traumatic day 4 years ago when my best friend died while I was trying to save him. Also things I haven't thought about in years from my childhood. It really caught me off gaurd because I am usually an even keel emotionally. Or so I thought. It was in those few days that I actually realized the extent of my numbness. I can acknowledge now something I didn't even realize I was doing. Any moment that is remotely uncomfortable I eat. There may be a huge emotional storm ahead after the coping mechanism of food is stripped away. I saw others mention counseling and I'd like to echo that! If you don't feel up to counseling then think of a few things that you can do that are good for you and rewarding and healthy. Like, taking a walk, meditating, yardwork, etc. Anything you can plan ahead of time to do instead of eat. Or do when your emotions get so overwhelming that you need a release. Some of this we are going to have to just feel though. I really am sorry for what you have gone through. Sometimes there is just no sense to be made of bad things that happen to innocent people. Sometimes the only morsel of peace you can get out of things like this is knowing that if you live through it and make it out stronger then you can maybe help someone else one day. Hang in there and please keep us all posted.
