Struggling

[SarahG0417 13]

My doctor appt got moved. It was supposed to be today, I was going to talk to my doctor ask her to submit to insurance. I have already talked to my psych and she thinks I should do it ( I see a psych for anxiety and binge eating disorder). Well now my doctor appt. has been moved to the 19th.....GRRR! I am struggling so much.....I can't seem to be satisfied from meals. I feel like I am starving all the time even though I am not. I don't want to go through this, I am sure it is anxiety from my appt. being moved, but I really should be just accepting it and pushing through with my changes. I decided to switch Breakfast to a Protein Shake everyday and I have cut out carbonated beverages. Starting today I will be walking 20 minutes a day, and slowly building up from there. I want to make progress starting now, not when I get approved for surgery.

This is totally mental, I just feel so alone in this sometimes, as I don't know anyone else that suffers with true B.E.D. My husband is supportive but being thin as a rail and eating whatever he wants he really just doesn't understand even though he wants to.

I guess I just needed to vent a little bit. So glad this group is here.

Just eat healthy and exercise (easy to say huh?) Frustration makes me want to eat too. Hang in there!

Sarah, I sure get it. I am 10 months post op. Down 89 pounds BUT it was 93 until I started eating junk again. I just got home from the doctor and my band has been tightened a bit (a lot in fact). I have not been exercising - I prefer to walk - and I haven't been following all the rules. I understand how you feel..The candy and donuts that I have been "sneeking" these past few weeks have come back to haunt me and no one is to blame but ME...the band will let you eat crap if you chew it enough and the band does not take away cravings,,,,only you can do that. I am glad you posted what you did, I needed to hear that someone else is in my boat ! Have a great weekend and hang in there.
