Omg' date=' what an emotional day I'm having today. I'm so teary, crying at the drop of a hat! I've cried for Jill Meagher, I've cried because my children are away for the next 10 days and it's so quiet here. Ive cried because I have an infection in one of the inscisions and im still awaiting tests to see if its golden staph. I've cried because I just bought a new 55" TV and although I have begged, pleaded and even tried to pay people, I cannot get anyone to help me carry it so it's stuck in the back of my car. I've cried over songs on the radio...and it's not even 10am!! Oh I'm a mess today.[/quote']

Hey kayargh,

Hope your day got better, take advantage of your children being away, rest and get your self better.

Not good about your incision, when do you find out? Tonight, relax, get a good book, have a bath. Maybe a glass a wine too.

Very very bad emotional day for me today too

Hope you feel better soon!

[Kayargh 112]

Thanks ladies, I finally scrapped the bottom of the barrel and had my ex brother in law install the TV. I feel like I have had a binge today, obviously not anywhere near pre sleeved binge, but have eaten all day an all the wrong foods. Today has just been a complete write off. I didn't hear anything today about the incision so I am taking it as no news is good news. I am now worried about the amount of food I have eaten today. I have felt very full but have not been physically sick. I don't want to cause a leak. Why oh why do I do this to myself? Here I was thinking how well I was doing, not craving, not regretting the surgery, not getting any depression.....think I was just counting my chickens before they hatch. Obviously still have some food issues to sort out :-(

[Kayargh 112]

Cookeeeeez what has happened in your shitty day?

[Cookeeeeez 269]

There are always going to be bumps in the road... It has been a long journey to this point but still only halfway to destination...

All those sayings...

Truth is, this is a hard hard thing. It's our cross to bear. I'm turning to my HP in these difficult times, it may help you to find a good source of support too

Best of luck,, I know you can do this!

I had a violent outburst at a set of scales... Just ended up hurting myself and making exercise harder may have to go back into Sydney clinic to deal with this, but that would bite into my surgery funds... Going to the in-laws house for the weekend and hoping being around healthy stable people and loveable thriving nieces and nephews will be a great source of support. They are also very religious (think seminaries and nuns) so hoping to get some support there too...

But hey, the trip to ER showed me a lot of people worse off- we are very lucky people!

Oh no! I hope you don't have to go back. Gosh, getting the sleeve isn't an immediate fix is it. We all knew this and the first week I could have never imagined eating the wrong foods after all the pain I was in- but here I am, no longer feeling the pain so the old me rears it's ugly head again. I had 3 months worth of psychology visits to deal with the events that lead me to turn to food and I thought I had it all under control, until today- when my emotions were high and I felt alone and depressed, I couldnt cope without the food.

I hope u r feeling better very soon my love, take solice in a loving supportive family and just think, the sun has gone down on today as you should let the sun go down on your troubles. Tomorrow is a new day and a chance to start all over again. xx

Yep - we've all got that **** going on (at least I do). I don't think 3 months is going to resolve issues which have been plaguing us for so long. Don't be so hard on yourself. You want to know what I think? (you can't answer that, so I'm gonna tell you anyway ) we need to learn to forgive and love ourselves. I'm working on it for myself.

Hi Kayargh, sorry to hear you are still struggling. Are you still seeing a psychologist ongoing? I had to see one as compulsory before surgery, but not sure if that is the case with everyone. They may be able to help you work through some issues and lay some of your fears to rest. This forum can offer a level of support, but only to a certain point. Keep smiling and try and say positive.

Thank you, that's a wonderful sentiment!

I'm all dressed up and ready to go

Hope the other girls had a good Breakfast this morning!

[Cookeeeeez 269]

Oh,

And it's the hard times that test us, not the easy ones!

Go back to the psych for a fine tuning of your tools! I've been at it for almost ten years now!

Mine always asks "so what did you learn?", if you can learn something from every experience then it will get easier not fixed, never fixed, but easier

Hi everyone, thank u for your support the last couple of days. Today was a much better day, despite my beloved Hawks going down to the Swans. I guess it was only a matter of time before I felt the slight depression that others had experienced. I am a very independent person and do everything myself, so I guess I have struggled with not being able to do stuff that needs to be done. The 3 months wasnt compulsory, my doc and I agreed it would be best to deal with some issues before getting sleeved as they are directly related to my weight gain. I would try again but not with the same psychologist. That's no good Scotty, hope u sell the car quickly. sleep well everyone, we finally have some rain here on the coast tonight- lovely sound to fall asleep too :-)
