My doctor appt got moved. It was supposed to be today, I was going to talk to my doctor ask her to submit to insurance. I have already talked to my psych and she thinks I should do it ( I see a psych for anxiety and binge eating disorder). Well now my doctor appt. has been moved to the 19th.....GRRR! I am struggling so much.....I can't seem to be satisfied from meals. I feel like I am starving all the time even though I am not. I don't want to go through this, I am sure it is anxiety from my appt. being moved, but I really should be just accepting it and pushing through with my changes. I decided to switch Breakfast to a Protein Shake everyday and I have cut out carbonated beverages. Starting today I will be walking 20 minutes a day, and slowly building up from there. I want to make progress starting now, not when I get approved for surgery.

This is totally mental, I just feel so alone in this sometimes, as I don't know anyone else that suffers with true B.E.D. My husband is supportive but being thin as a rail and eating whatever he wants he really just doesn't understand even though he wants to.

I guess I just needed to vent a little bit. :) So glad this group is here.

Just eat healthy and exercise (easy to say huh?) Frustration makes me want to eat too. Hang in there!

Sarah, I sure get it. I am 10 months post op. Down 89 pounds BUT it was 93 until I started eating junk again. I just got home from the doctor and my band has been tightened a bit (a lot in fact). I have not been exercising - I prefer to walk - and I haven't been following all the rules. I understand how you feel..The candy and donuts that I have been "sneeking" these past few weeks have come back to haunt me and no one is to blame but ME...the band will let you eat crap if you chew it enough and the band does not take away cravings,,,,only you can do that. I am glad you posted what you did, I needed to hear that someone else is in my boat ! Have a great weekend and hang in there.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
