Need Hugs



Recommended Posts

I have had a really lousy few months, lost job-got new job with huge cut in pay that I don't like, family stuff etc......... I went ahead and got another fill on Thursday because I haven't lost any weight in weeks and I gotta tell ya'll I am in serious food mourning.

I am sad, depressed and I want nothing more than some fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, mac & cheese.....need I go on.

Wow what an eye opener at how much I used food as comfort and now my band won't let me. Good or Bad... having a hard time telling the difference.:think

Good Heather, good. It doesn't FEEL good right now--but it WILL. I promise, it will. With or without food you have to find some things in your life to feel good about. It's a full moon tonight--should be pretty. Go out and enjoy the moon. (TRY not to think of it as cheese--or a big vanilla cookie!)

The ironic thing is... you now HAVE to feel all those feelings and deal with those emotions where in the past they just would have been buried under all the food. Take it as a blessing as painful as it may seem now. My prayers are with you.

As always, I can only echo the wonderful advice already given to you. Yeah, it can be really sucky when you realize you have to actually start dealing with emotions instead of stuffing them...

So sorry to hear about your work woes.. Those can really add stress that you probably don't need...

(((((Hugs)))))

Oh Heather <<<<<<HUGGGGGGGG>>>>>>>>>>

I'm sorry you are going through the ringer right now but we have all been there. But with the help of some wonderful friends and God we get through it. Today you have a choice to be up or down. You can control you and no one else. (I have learned that one even with my 13 year old)

Choose to smile today because you are wonderful, inside and out.

You are blessed in so many ways (count some of them, let me know if you can't think of any)

Hey Heather everyone here at LBT and God loves you!!! Put your head up, shoulders back, smile, grab a bottle of Water and be a blessing with everyone you come in contact with. Be POSITIVE!!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
