Emotional Breakdown

[thunderbeast77 59]

Hey everyone -

Thanks for all your encouragement and words of advice and experience. It took me awhile to get back to everyone because I decided I needed a mini vacation and went to visit my mom, who lives in rural Oregon so not much for internet down there.

Anyway, I'm doing much better since I posted this, and actually managed to lose 5 pounds this week! I'm allowing myself around 1500 calories a day with the working out until I can talk to my nutritionist.

Anyway, thanks again for all the love and support it means a lot to me and I'm so glad to have you all on this journey with me.

So glad to read the update! Sorry your social gathering kicked off such a sad reaction, but I hope you can work on not worrying about anyone but YOU for the time being! Glad you got away, sounds like it did you good! I'm getting my band next month, and I am not looking forward to the melt-downs, but at least I know they are coming!

I went into a severe depression a month after surgery, thinking what the heck did I do to me. I also ran into the guy that talked me into having this surgery instead of pushing for the gastric operation. He kept apologizing for encouraging me to have this surgery and I told him it was not his fault. I hated everything and everybody UNTIL the weight started to melt off of me and the sizes dropped down. I did get over it and have a new life now and saw the same neighbor that recommended the surgery and he could not believe his eyes when he saw all the weight I got off and how I looked. Now he is trying to talk his wife into getting the surgery and she is not happy with how I look, she won't even say "hi" to me anymore. Must be she liked me fat and not appealing to her husband and now that has changed.
