Relapse Blues



Recommended Posts

Sorry It's taken me so long to post anything. I haven't been back on here because I've been ashamed. I've gained all my weight back plus 11 lbs. Granted I haven't had a fill since before I got pregnant. The baby is wonderful he is 9 months now. But I'm so angry with myself and I still owe my dr. $100 from the surgery. So I can't get a fill until I've paid him. I've been having a lot of financial difficulty, my husband and I just purchased our first house and then he lost his job, of course he brought in the most $. So it's reaking havoc with my psyche. I feel so fat it's ridiculous. and I kinda resent my husband for it, because I wanted to wait atleast a year after the surgery to get pregnant, but he was very adamant on wanting another child and I did promise him we'd have another after my first one turned 3. So he was riding my case. Apart of me feels he wanted me to gain weight back. He never wanted me to have the surgery in the first place. And my relationship is just starting to heal. I've been through a lot did something that could have costed my marriage but thankfully did not. I dont' know. I'm sorry I know you didn't ask for all this personal information but... I feel compelled to tell someone the truth and stop acting like everything is ok. I'm blessed to still be here and it's 2008, but I NEVER imagined I'd be this big. :think

That's fine I just need to figure out how to send a private message. If you could possibly send me some directions that will be great.

you go up to the top of the screen and click on user cp, on the left side of the screen you'll see a header called private messages about halfway down and under that it'll say send a message. that's how you can do that.

I hope sob can help with the financial. I don't think you should feel ashamed. I am new to the forum but what I am getting from most everyone is the honesty. The ups and downs are part of our life and when we have to start over, well we do. Hang in there on your journey. 2008 is the year for new beginnings. This is yours.-My computer keeps glitching hope this doesn't post twice.

OK skinnymini, don't give up on us. I know I am willing to listen and I think sometimes sharing is a big part of the solution. It is hard to admit our feelings to others and you made that first step so don't give up. Your baby is a doll by the way.

Good Morning Everyone! Here it is a week later and I'm feeling a lot better about things. I'm going to get my fill today and this year is going to be a new year for me. A hell of a year for me!!! My mom is getting married in June and I plan to be atleast 2 dress sizes smaller by then. I think that's a feasible goal. Thank you to everyone who had kind words for me and all those who read and felt my pain.

Skinny:whoo:

It's finally done. I have 2.5 cc's in a 10 cc band with .5 cc's to be added as early as next week if I have no restriction, and 2 months if I do have restriction. Looking forward to posting new weight loss. I'm so happy!!! I ate about a quarter of a cup of broccoli and cheese Soup and after that drank some chicken broth. Had a little ice cream for dessert. :spider: But nothing remotely close to what I had been eating before the fill. I'm glad and God is definately still on the throne.:hail:

Thanks everyone for bearing with me through my rant!:eek: I'll try to update as early as next week. For a new scale change hopefully.:clap2: However Aunt Flo is threating Water weight :)

Until then Bandsters!!! Adios and happy eating!!!:whoo:

What area of Maryland do you live in? I live in Salisbury (on the eastern shore near Ocean City). I wonder how disbursed we are because it would be great to do things like clothing swaps, etc. if we can find common ground and enough people.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
