I am 11 months out and was doing really well with everything until recently....for the past couple of weeks I have been disguisted by eating. I fainted @ work yesterday which was utterly embarrassing....when I go into my kitchen and there is food on the counter or stove I wanna throw up....has anyone experienced this? I don't want to be anorexic so I want to nip this thing in the bud ASAP.....advice please cause I don't know what to do.

Thanks guys....I started the 5 day pouch test yesterday and I really feel better already...not craving carbs or anything so I am hanging in there, not giving in because I went through too much to have this surgery and I am determined to make it work for me. Tiffy, you should really consider writing a book or something....you always have the answers....seriously!!!!

Hello everyone.....I need some help to get me back on track....I'm half way to my goal and I'm at a stand still with my weight loss....I'll admit that I have had a potato chip here and there and a few pieces of candy....how do I get back after falling off the wagon....I want to continue with my progress but I feel so lost and defeated and I know that this is something that I'm doing to myself....give me some advice and encouragement pleeeese!!!

Welcome, your story is such an inspiration this will be so easy for you....I'm praying for the best possible outcome for you.

Welcome..... low carbs will drop those 60lbs in no time, good luck to you!!!!

One week y'all.....I am sooooo excited....liquid diet for me all this week until surgery. I am not gonna trip cuase I am one week from doing this and the wait has been much too long....I have a lot of nervous/excited energy which makes it hard for me to eat even if I could or wanted to...I just keep thinking about getting in those single digits...lol!!! How's everyone doing thus far?????

Catyroses: I'm sooooo excited for you....praying that everything goes well for you....my appointment was pretty basic, just about what to expect post-op etc, etc nothing you don't already know.....I have an appointment with my surgeon on Monday afternoon, getting my orders for labs and gotta go pay my 20% the hospital and the doctor and then the waiting begins.....hope the week passes fast!!!!

Well I completed my six month medically- supervised weight loss through the hospital where I'm having my surgery....my coord. Got everything together on last visit for weight loss and faxed it to the ins co the same day....in addition to the six month diet, I had to have: a letter of medical clearace fromy pcp, a psycological evaluation and 5 years worth medical records to prove that I've had a BMI of more than 40 for 5 years consecutively....whew! So glad it's finally over
