Bloo

I am in, BUT I will start on Monday 18th! Why you ask? Hmmm.. I just bought two jars of Nutella and I can't just throw them away. :/

Hey guys! missed you a lot! Gosh our own forum!! woohoo :thumbup: I haven't posted in 2 months but I do read your posts regularly.. I have been having mood swings lately, took some St. John's Wort, felt a bit better but it didn't last long.. My weight the day I had surgery was 293 lb, NOW?? it's 260 lb! total loss: 33 lb! Not impressive and it is MY MISTAKE! :mad: I did NOT stick to diet! I eat half a jar of chocolate spread (Nutella) everyday :eek:, I am addicted! And I pretty much eat everything pre-op and in big portions too, except for carbonated drinks! I passed by Krispy Creme the other day and bought a dozen of assorted doughnuts, ate 3 and ended up feeling bloated and gaining weight the day after! Guys I came to a conclusion that I am eating crap to fill the void! I eat from loneliness.. But I have been lonely all my life and its not an excuse.. I am my own worst enemy! I feel guilty and careless and ugly! :crying: The more I eat the more I get depressed and keep eating! I mean how many Nutella jars does it take to fill my @!#$@# void! It is just pathetic.. I lost ONE lb in two months that says a lot about my eating! I feel it is another failed diet! I had a 5 cc fill two weeks ago, usually the doctor put me on liquid diet after filling, well, Bloo cannot handle a week on liquid diet anymore! took me a day and a half and I am back on eating solid again! I mean I was on liquid for 45 days post-op! What happened? :thumbup: After a fill I feel restricted for a day or two then I feel tight only in morning. Yesterday I sipped on orange juice and felt sick and threw up!! Since I got banded I vomited 3 times! I was scared of slippage but had fluoroscopic exam (which I have every time I get a fill) and everything was good. Now I need support support support! And I like the idea of fellow Sept. '07 bandsters gathering here challenging and discussing stuff. So I will challenge myself again and hopefully it will work this time if we support one another! :thumbup: xoxoxoxo

I have been super depressed lately, to the point I am feeling suicidal. It scares me bcuz I have no good reason for that! I need my hormones checked. Somethings wrong with me. Has anybody experienced this post-op?

Six weeks on only-liquid diet, 2 weeks on mushie and will be on mushie for the next 2 weeks!<br /> surprisingly I am still alive!<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/grin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" smilieid="57" class="inlineimg" /><br /> Now beat that! <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/whoo.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Whoo" smilieid="339" class="inlineimg" /><br /> <br /> No seriously, is this normal? <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/depressed.gif" border="0" alt="" title="cry" smilieid="49" class="inlineimg" /><br /> It's not like I miss food or something (who am i kidding). I am just wondering! I forgot how to eat solid food <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/faint.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Faint" smilieid="236" class="inlineimg" /><br /> <br /> But I am losing weight, well I haven't gotten on scale since fist fill, I dont wanna know ;/ But I feel I am losing slowly<br /> Why the rush?<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)" smilieid="8" class="inlineimg" /><br /> <br /> miss you guyzzzzzzzzzzzzz xx0ox0x0x<br /> <br /> Blooooooo<br />

Hello fellow bandsters! Good news *drum roll* Today is the last day of my "only-liquid" diet! Yes! I am two weeks post-op! time flies! :whoo: I was drinking Water, slim fast, ensure plus shakes, milk and tomato soup! Yup DRINKING! The first week I was sipping, it took me 30 min to finish a glass of water! :cry I got tired ;/ I was thirsty! I emailed my dietician, she said NO! you have to sip, take your time! The 2nd week I couldnt do that anymore! started drinking bigger amount, like finishing a cup of milk in 10 min only! is it dangerous? I started craving food the 2nd week, when I came back home! Not that i'm hungry but I miss food in my mouth Mushies here I come! tomorrow I'll start with mashed potatoes! I dreamt of it the other day and my dream must come true! :biggrin1: Seriously, what is it with bad dreams? I am having some of those where I start eating while on a liquid diet! or drinking carbonated drinks! :bored Scary scary dreams! I am back to work after 14-day sick leave! I told my co-workers I had a hernia repair op! I don't know why I lied!! Has anyone lied too? I am a stomach sleeper but now I am scared to sleep on my tummy! is it OK? I am suffering from hiccups! like continuous hiccups for two days! Is it a sign of dehydration? Please don't tell it's a full signal! I am not drinking alot That will be all for today! MUSHIES! HERE I COOOOOOOOOOMEEEEEEEE :hungry: Love, Blooooooooooooooooooooooo
