This is exactly why I'm here. So glad I decided to find some online support. As you can tell, I'm totally new. First post ever. But the raw emotions have me pretty freaked out. I never realized just HOW dependent I was on food for my emotions, and BAM. Now that I'm not eating like that, I'm faced with dealing with everything with no crutch. Feel like I've given up everything I found pleasure in, my coffee, soda, food, carbonation in general (can't even have that beer). ARG.

I'm 4 months out and I am still dealing with this. I have lost my crutches and still looking for ways to deal with emotions and activities to replace boredom eating. Others have reassured me that it really will get better. Hang in there! You are not alone.

Oh, I'm a pathetic, sodden-faced, snot-filled, gastric reflux infested mess at least once a day... I feel it well up. I am ashamed to say it, but the X Factor made me cry yesterday. If you knew what I did for a living, you would find that hysterically funny...

In hindsight, I know I do... :blink:

lol Well, if it was American X Factor, I'd probably be crying, having to suffer through Demi Lovato contributing absolutely NOTHING of value to well, anything.

As it stands, it was UK X Factor and I was crying because this one guy sang so utterly beautifully (which is the bit that made me cry).. and then the short Irish midget Louie Walsh, decided to send him home - probably because he wasn't thin and like Justin Bieber (which then made me angry - because I absolutely loathe Justin, I need to be kicked repeatedly in the head, Bieber).

Clearly I am more comfortable with the latter emotion than the former! :rolleyes:

Oh, don't get me started on the Bieber... His attendance at boxing fights, his spitting on his fans... His trousers down by his ankles and walking like some sort of deformed chimp... I wish he'd just do the world (or namely, me) a favour and just end it all in a cliched drug fueled orgy in an overly-priced hotel room with his homies and his hoes...

<and breathe....> :blink:

I'm one week out and I'm emotional about other things not food or the surgery I think I've always been there for others so I thought I would have a strong support system but I'm noticing now I don't I'm so use to doing things for myself to going to depending on others to take me around or get me to the dr it's bothering me when no one cares and act like its a bother to them.

No pain the last couple of days but these liquids have me feeling defeated...I have 2 weeks of clears. I don't feel like there's enough nutrients for me to even function. Just trying to avoid re-admission to the hospital at this point. Everyone who was sleeved around the same time I'd on full liquids and preparing to go to mushies next week...it's depressing!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
