blues anyone????

Oh my Lisa...You couldn't have said it any better. I am feeling the same way too. If the scale doesn't move for the day, I feel horrible. I think this is something most of us deal with. I know I need to find a support group because I have no support at home. Like you, I have been able to eat everything I have tried and have never been sick. I have even tried sugar just to see. I was really hoping it would make me sick, but it didn't. Not a good thing. I sometimes wonder if the surgeon messed up on me because I do not get sick, can eat everything I try and can eat too much. I posted today about this on my page. I just don't get it. I don't understand why I can tollerate everything and be hungry. I asked the surgeon about this and he said I was doing fine. I just don't feel like it. I was so prepared to be sick and not be able to eat that I just do not understand why it didn't happen for me. It drives me crazy. I have come to the point that I wonder if I will put it all back on in time (you know one of those in 2 to 3 years). I don't want to be a failure at this. Hopefully this is something I can get passed and not continue to obsess over my weight forever. Hopefully within time I will be able to be "normal" as everyone else when it comes to my weight and eating. Shelley

Lisa, I have been experiencing the same kinds of feelings, off and on. Some days I will feel so down, and then others I will feel really good. I think that part of it has to do with not being able to eat like I used to. For instance, this weekend we went to a birthday party and afterwards all the adults went to a really nice steakhouse. I really missed the old days of stuffing myself to the brim with bread and steak. But this time I couldn't and it was a little hard. I don't know, it does go deeper than that too. I don't understand why sometimes I will feel down, but I do. I have been trying to pull myself out of it lately, and I am slowly getting back to the "feeling better" part again, but I think it is just because it is hard to not have food to lean on anymore, now that we are 4+ months out, we are feeling the effects of that a little deeper, maybe?

I know what you mean, I have lost 99 and I am still stuck there. and, Well I wasn't in the dumps until I went to the doctors yesterday and today, had several test run. I have had 5 surgeries on my arms. Carpal tunnel on both, tendon release on both and a ganglin removed and well now I have pinched nerves in my right elbow and neck. My right arm is numb. Seems like I solve one problem and two more pop up. It is never ending. I do get blue and seems like I am lonely but my house is always full of my family but don't know why. Then somedays it is the opposite. Go figure. Hope you snap out of it and all of us for that matter. We should be Happy!!!! Heres a Hug for you Lisa. Try to plan a wonderful relaxing weekend. Deloris
