I still have trouble eating anything but small bites, so I assume it's still in the right place. Maybe I don't know what full is?! :>) But if I eat 1 cup or even 1.5 cups of food, in an hour, my stomach is growling and making noises like a 747 landing and I "feel" hungry. I upped my Protein to 5 servings a day and that helps, but it just keeps me at my present weight and I don't lose anything. The only way I lose is if I eat maybe 300 calories and 5 Protein drinks. I'll have to admit however that I get so tired of staying in the bathroom that I slack off on the drinks/water. I might as well move my furniture, computer, and anythng else in there.
Some days I eat basically nothing because it won't go down. Yesterday I tried to eat a 1/2 cup of oatmeal and got 3 or 4 bites down and had to stop. Today, I ate the whole thing with no problems whatsoever. I'm thinking reflux is having a effect on this since I had it really bad before surgery.
I just don't see any reason to go back to the doc. He says the same thing. This surgery doesn't work on grazers. Seems like he's calling me a cow. LOL I've stopped the 'between meals snacks', but still lose nothing so I get discouraged. One thing for sure, I've realized that I have more depression problems than I had originally thought or either this is spiking them. I think it was because I had come to terms with being housebound (mostly because of arthritis and FMS) and had fashioned my life out around it. When I became semi mobile, it gave me hope and then I wasn't satisfied with just staying here and doing my crafts etc.
I guess all this self analyzing is boring the be-jeepers out of everyone so I'm going to shut up. :>) I lost 60lbs by myself before I ever had this surgery so I'm going to have to get back in that frame of mind and stop feeling sorry for myself and stop obsessing about the money I wasted when we needed it so badly for other things. All in all, I feel guilty.
Ok, as my sister says.... ONWARD! :>) Plan B has now been put into motion. Maybe I just needed someone to talk to about it.
