Day 13. Stopped losing weight. Constipated again. Got my period. Starving. Homicidal.

Sorry, this made me laugh. I remember those days. Fortunately for me, before I had my surgery, I had a full hysterectomy. Otherwise, I would have killed someone by now for the food! Good luck! Hang in there!

Trying but I think I am just on pity party overload. The non-weight loss which just seems impossible to me at this point just put the icing on the cake.

Mmmmm ..... cake.... ?

You have a great sense of humor! Don't lose it! It's awesome!

I know honey. I'm feeling the same way. I am 7 days out today from lapband revision to RNY and I was in no way prepared for the emotional roller coaster of hormones. I am furious, I'm laughing and I'm sobbing uncontrollably. It's the most illogical thing.

Beyond that, I want to EAT! Everyone said, "oh don't worry. For the first month you won't even think about food." WHATEVER! I have been thinking about food constantly since day 3! I want to freaking eat!!!

And worst of all, I am down a whopping ONE pound! I'm so glad I went through this expense, pain and taking off work just to lose a pound! Evidently, revision patients lose very slowly (which my surgeon never mentioned to me!) so I can expect to lose 5 pounds or so per month.

Are. You. Kidding. Me. ??????? I could lose way more than five pounds a month on Jenny Craig!

So, right now I am thinking this is the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. If I could go back one week and change it, I would not have this surgery. Having a surgery that only allows me to lose 5 pounds per month is pointless for someone like me who needs to lose 100-125 pounds.


Oh one last thing. My surgeon accused me of cheating. He says there's no way I should be down only one pound in 7 days and I must've been eating things not on my list. It took everything in me to keep from going off on him. I didn't cheat. I swear to God.

I'm glad you can keep your sense of humor. I pray it helps you through this and pray for your success and health.


June 12, 2017 I had my lap-band removed, my gallbladder removed and received an RNY.
