Oh YES. I've gained at EVERY single NUT appt. I have one left so I'm hoping to either stay the same or maye even lose! My brain totally has this beat. It KNOWS that I won't be able to eat my faves and tells me to eat it all the time I'm trying to fight that now. I'm hoping to have surgery mid-september. Don't be so hard on yourself. I think it's normal. I had a lot of validation from the NUT and PA that I see. Hang in there.....pretty soon you will win this battle

Sounds like you are on about the same timeline as me. I have my final 6 month app't early next month. Hoping surgery is approved quickly and I can have the surgery long before my 2nd grand baby arrives in November. Good luck!

Woah, I almost thought you were saying YOU were expecting. I had to reread twice (I'm exhausted from a long day's work and two adolsecent children of mine who really are testing their boundaries lately it seems). Awesome though- keep me posted. I love not being alone during this. Wish I could have you all come with me to the hospital

Justine,Thanks for sharing u story. It is interesting. I have been in therapy several times in my life. My own very favorite therapist would be considered morbidly obese, so I walways assumed she had underlying issues, but even with that she was able to help me. I am in a very happy, loving marriage. I sometimes feel that people look at me as if I should have no problems. So then they dump on me and I carry their stress. I am in a situation now, just because where we live it is stressful. I feel finally free because the friends that were dumping on me are no longer here or they found someone else to dump on. Sometimes I feel like screaming, "I am weak sometimes, sometimes I need a shoulder!!!" I totally related with your entry. I am glad that you were able to take time out for you and make a decision for you. Good luck in your journey!

Thank you so much for your response. It's a long journey but we will get there
