My surgeon retired three months after my surgery, which was 4 years ago!!! I had been seeing a nutritionist, but she wasn't helpful and it wasn't covered by my insurance!!! 😞

That’s unfortunate to hear 😩

Since you’ll have to find a new surgeon if you decide to have a revision, try to establish yourself with one that has a comprehensive team that you’re confident in. And don’t forget to ask about all of your options, not just surgical.

It sure does suck, doesn't it? I remember when it started. My husband was isolated within our home with a bad case of COVID and the kids were sitting with me at the dining room table with their laptops, attempting to study. I would essentially put on a hazmat suit to take food up to my husband at regular intervals to keep him hydrated. The kids and I basically lived in the livingroom for 6 weeks.

First 3 lbs, then 5, then my jeans were snug, then, oh look! Another 5 and then 10! And then our daughter became very ill with something else...and I got to 30.

It has mostly been anxiety and stress eating, all at night. Add no exercise, and my metabolism has ground to a halt, it seems.

I'm aiming for 700-800 calories per day, and, as it turns out, if I force myself to take a half hour between liquids and solids, it forces me to be more thoughtful and deliberate about what I eat. At least so far.

Sorry for the outpouring here!

Good luck to you, my friend!
