Hey Aaron,

It sounds like a bit of anxiety mixed with OCD..

If it's really messing with you and causing undue distress I would look into taking to a counselor.

I have OCD and was a compulsive eater. Now that I'm not feeding the beast all sorts of new things to obsess about come into play.

Every night when I lay down in bed....as soon as I get settled I have to get up and go downstairs and make sure the front door is locked. It always is, but I still have to check.

Every time I pull out of a gas station, I get a 1/4 mile down the road and have to stop and make sure I didn't leave my credit card at the pump. I never have, but I always have this vision that I just did.

I could go on and on. I've always been this way. If I'm stressed...these feelings get worse.

Exactly how I been feeling lately stupid things like did I lock my door leaving work and it bothers me so bad I have to go back ... In bed can't sleep my mind races thinking of everything even like off the ball random shit ... Have you talked to a doctor in worried cause I'm in corrections so I don't want it coming up on my background check

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
