When he left I ate 2 pizzas and way to much ice cream. When he told me his 23 year old girlfriend (he's 37) was pregnant it was Chinese food and cake. He's getting married tomorrow and it's 2 oz of medifast. I am 9 days post-op and having to learn how to deal with these emotions without food just sucks. I have to say, this is really hard. It even crossed my mind to cheat and eat something but the fear of breaking my new pouch has kept me from it. My doctor doesn't allow his patients to move to soft foods until 2 weeks after surgery so I can't even do some cottage cheese or anything. I also don't have my beautiful daughters to occupy my mind. They're at the wedding. So instead I will do my nails, watch a chick film and go to bed early and just get through this weekend. If any of you have ideas on how to make it through this weekend without pulling my hair out I'd love to hear it.

Thank you everyone for your ideas and support. I did write the letter and put it in my jewlery box. I then got my nails done and bought a food scale for when I am on solid foods. Sort of as a reminder that I am a new person and I am only getting better! Thank you again.

I am one of those people that posted about a stall/gain. I even put in my post that my brain knows about stalls, knows it will eventually come off, etc etc. As a women that has been over weight my entire life I got enough of being grumbled at, being picked on, or even laughed at from everyone around me. So taking the steps to have surgery and share this experiance with others that are going through the same thing on this website seems wonderful. I thought this web site was about supporting each other and giving encouragement. Not to break each other down. I think we get or have gotten enough of that from the outside world.

I am only 4 weeks out but I noticed my 1st change today. I used to take elevators every day at work and swore i would not use one after the surgery. Today was the 1st day I didn't even think about going up the stairs at work. It didn't occur to me until I reached the top that I had just taken the stairs and I wasn't out of breath. I walked briskly down the hallway and then went back down the stairs with a giant smile on my face. I have also noticed I look people in the eye more. I'm not a shy person but when I spoke to people I would look at the floor or anywhere but at them (especially men). I'm gaining confidence back and starting to look at myself in the mirror without cringing. I'm off my metformin, off my anti-depresant, and starting to realize that there is an amazing person inside. She's always been there but I am now gaining the confidence to show everyone else who I am. Good luck on your journey (((hugs)))

I felt that way this morning so I feel your pain. It was to the point where my eyes closed during a presentation. Ugh, need to find a way to give ourselves a little boost. :-) (3 weeks postop)

It comes and goes with me. 1 day I am freezing and sitting with gloves on at my desk (my co-workers think I'm crazy) and the next day I am sucking down popsickles like its the 4th of July. Guess it takes a while for our internal thermostats to even out.

I have no idea why it took 3 weeks for me to remember string cheese. So as a reminder to others that may have forgotten abotu string cheese, get some, they are wonderful and very portable :-)

Add me to the January 9th group :-) I am 2 weeks post op today and I can not wait to see my nutritionist tomorrow. Hopefully she will release me to soft/pureed foods tomorrow. If I never drink another shake ever again I will be one happy women! a month of chalky tasting shakes has gotten the better of me. Hope everyone is having a great hump (wednesday) day!

I have PCOS also and when I lost weight in the past only certain parts of it would lessen up. My periods would return (1 I could live without) and the pain from cysts would lesson but the body hair and headaches still happened. I wish I could've picked and chose which symptoms hung around :-)

Wondering how you're doing. I also had my surgery on January 9th and feel like my whole world has changed for the better. I hope you are doing great!

My surgery was 12 days ago so I am still on Protein Shakes. Every single time I take that first sip and it hits my brand new baby pouch, the old stomach growls and growls, then it stops. My kids say it reminds them of our obnoxious cat that meows and meows until he's fed. LOL

Surgery was January 9, 2013
Weighed 237 day of surgery
Weigher 209 this morning.
Total loss so far, 28 lbs.
I feel like Dory in Finding Nemo..... Just keep sipping, just keep sipping :-)
