Hi all,
I am so glad I found this group. I've been struggling a lot lately and have been having a very difficult time.
I had gastric sleeve at the end of August 2018, so it's been about 6 months. Since the pre-op surgery, I've lost about 70 pounds. Sounds great, right? Well, I was at this weight 4.5 months post op. I have been stagnant for the last 7 weeks, not losing an ounce.
I'd like to say I don't know why, but I do. I'm eating like garbage again. The first 3 months after surgery were great - I hardly felt hungry, and the thought of eating anything sugary physically repulsed me.
Now I feel hungry all the time. I never fill full unless I chug a bunch of water and eat meat. I'm constantly craving things like ice cream and baked goods. I've had a problem with binge eating my whole life, and it's still here. Sometimes I eat so much still that I want to throw up.
I feel so hopeless because I know I'm the one screwing everything up. I live alone and started a new job in a new city in September, so adjusting to all of that and this healthier lifestyle is a hurdle I feel like I can't cross.
I'm just so angry and so sad, I letting down my family and friends who helped me through the initial stages. I've been to support groups, but they aren't often and are not really focused on the emotional challenges.
Anyways, that's a really long way of me saying that I'm so glad that this website was brought to my attention. I hope it will help me get back on track and get this stupid excess weight off of me.
Thanks all <3
