9 weeks out- struggling, help

Many days I wish I could give it all back, because I get hungry. I have not tried to eat protein bars, I really want to eat one badly. Today I ate a cup of the soup I made and ate on yesterday and became sick. I never know from day to day what will agree with my stomach and what will not. I did not have my surgery here in Baton Rouge, I went to North Richland Hills near Fort Worth, Texas. The doctors here did not want to do surgery on me because I asked to many questions. Dr. Kim in North Richland Hills was happy to answer all questions and was a SUPERIOR doctor that cares about his patients. That part was well worth and additional years wait. If I was near him and his staff I would not be having half these problems. I have gotten more then a little down because I have not moved on the scale, but my clothes are down really down, I am wearing some 12s, but mostly 14s. I am crying as I pack up suits that I cannot afford to replace, but it feels awesome. Like you I do not see how I am going to loose 80 more lbs in another 10 months. I sure hope that it does happen, but I am a little nervous. When I get through writing this email I am going to try to eat this protein bar I got on yesterday and then to the treadmill. This is the challenge of my life, but I am coming, it has made stronger in every aspect of my life. BTW...Last night I ate to crackers with plain hummus. I hope I can eat that later tonight. I wish I could do aerobics, but I do not have the energy to do anything like that at all. I like you have very little energy. I have to pray the entire time I am on the treadmill, I have my IPOD and speakers in the garage and We just try to make it 15 minute increments at a time. Some days I do not make my exercise goal, some days I can only do 30 minutes and I am off. two days I did 1.30 minutes on the treadmill, but my goal is 2.0 hours daily. I lived in New Hampshire for 2 years and came to Boston weekly to have my hair done. I loved it. My daughter wants to return. In fact, we are coming there for Thanksgiving. Nice to talk to you. I need this badly. Pam

Hello, I had my GBS on May 13, 2008 and had some complications as well. I had a hard time with solidfoods. I vomitted left and right and found out that I had a stricture. Went to the doctor and they had to do two endoscopies. After that I felt so much better and I am now able to hold solid foods down. Maybe you can mention it to your doctor. Good luck and hang in there, It gets better.. Yeisy :)
