Hi Alycat, You had surgery a few days after me and I have lost 80 pounds and I get to thinking that having the surgery is not going to work for me because so many have already lost over a 100 pounds and I havent. I think like the person said in the post below yours that I dont eat enough, seems that if I eat 4 or 5 small meals a day I do better losing, but most days I dont care if I eat or not then some days I get hungry. I dont want to have had this surgery in vain. Maybe we just get all worried over nothing. We will make it to goal and be slim. (surely)

Now that I have lost 100 lbs I am worried that I'm done losing... I know this might sound crazy but for some reason I have this big fear that my body will just stop losing weight! Also I am worried that I can eat too much! Today for breakfast I made 2 hard boiled eggs and I ate both of them I don't know why I have never done that before! I still have 97 lbs I want to loss I can't stop now; I don't want to be a failure! I know, I know I just need to do what my Doc told me too and the weight will come off. Grrrrrrr what is wrong with me? OK I just had to get this out because it's really buggin me! Thank you for letten me get this out!!

I have been having a couple really difficult days. I am having difficulty eating my meals...just little bits. Therefore, I am hungry later, and find myself munching: usually pretzels, nuts, fruit, or crackers, but still munching. In addition, I'm having difficulty getting the water in. And cannot get to sleep at night. Once I get to sleep I am OK, but getting there is another story. I know part of the problem is stress, then there is the arthritis, and finally I just feel punk (blue). Is anyone else experiencing this blue period, or having difficulty eating. I don't want to get in the habit of grazing. Thanks for responding. You people are wonderful LOL

Chris honey, are you eating enough...I'm not trying to be a food cop or anything, just would hate for yu to get yourself into trouble. Your food intake doesn't seem like enough - please be careful. LOL (This advise from the gal who didn't even post what she ate. I do when I can get to the computer, but usually its so late I've forgotten what I ate that day.)

I'm sending love and prayers your way. It is always a difficult time to lose a loved one. My God comfort and richly bless you and keep your memories strong and alive.
