OMGoodness... Wednesday Weigh-in is such a pain in the tush!!!! Necessary, but not a thrill...
Seems like I've gone down the tubes this week with over snacking. Sure my numbers are still OK... up a bit... BUT my eating has been turbulent.
I've been juggling between cookies and pickles
popcorn with extra ICBN...Butter Spread... a 180 calorie inhaled snack w/ added salt
and binging on watermelon and cantaloupe... to keep from over doing the days protein level
I haven't seen a great difference in my weight, but my FEELINGS are getting involved now... sooo I feel vulnerable and a bit down.
Since everyone complains at sometime about feeling addicted to food, I'd like to point out that even when you measure and weigh to make some good food choices... You're still obsessed with food!
I still don't have the Hunger that I once had... but feel more emotionally tied to eating now than ever before post-op.
I used to say things to the Guys like "You're never always at the top of the Ferris Wheel or at the bottom" A nice way to say sometimes things are going great; sometimes not... but soon they improve.
Lately, I've felt like I'm just plain stuck on the Ferris wheel. The top, which should represent "good" times, and the bottom, the "not so great times of life"... aren't cutting it for me. I feel stuck on the ride right now.
When I read about pre-ops, I wonder if I should say... "Get away from the Ferris Wheel line! You really don't want to spend so much time obsessing or being moody' The reality, of course, is that without the surgery these fine people have to deal with serious health issues... and lack of energy... and looking and feeling much older than they really are.
Basically, I've had a rough weekend... with more of my share of ups & downs... and started to eat (and journal) and eat... It's OLD behavior... It's my turn to feel Stuck on the never-ending-ride.
Gesh!!! I don't even like Ferris Wheels....
Feeling Humped on Monday... and Wednesday. the proverbial Hump Day, isn't here YET...

Terisa, I'm scheduled for the 2nd CT Scan on Thursday AM and feeling a lot of relief that I finally got up the nerve to make the appointment! Hoping to have the results within a week, but it might take a bit longer since it will be compared to the June CT. I have a good amount of energy and no pain... which help me keep a brighter outlook. I'll be sharing the info... hopefully all good!
Ro
Ro Ro,
I knew you made an appointment and I could not be prouder of you. I know that is a huge and scary step. PM me after your appointment and let me know how you are doing ok? I will walk with you every step of the way. Keep good thoughts in your head and remain positive and I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi, T!... Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayer... 
I'll keep you posted. Really hope that it's just 1) testing... been through that already so it's a breeze... 2) brief wait... 3) followed by Good News
Seems like 1, 2, 3... isn't a given, but that sure would make me smile!

You are doing great, Ro and definitely a good ol human like all of us. Don't you find it amazing that there are post-ops out there (of all wls types) who aren't obsessing like the rest of us? I know we don't all obsess the same way but I can think of one lady who had surgery about three months before me and NEVER attends support group meetings. She just doesn't 'need' it. That floors me!
Obsessing with that ferris wheel is something we would do anyway whether we were postops or not and like you say, w/o the surgery there'd be the worsened health issues too.
I'm so sorry to hear that being stuck is bugging you, glad you came here to get it off your chest. Hump Day is my least favorite day to weigh...why can't it be the lowest day of the week? Seems I always dip down on Sat. or Sun. and then climb back up. It's that snacking...ugh.
Had flu or food poisoning last night. Vomiting, diarrhea, fever-ick. Maybe that will help me on Weds. Feeling better now but pouchie still hurts. It is just sick to hope for a good weigh in from illness, no matter how minor. LOL
Hugs!

Molly, Yikes!!! Sounds like you were pretty sick... sure hope that your OK now! 
AND that you get the big drop in Lbs (if that little fairy can help make it so... LOL)
Thanks for the words of encouragement! Hump Day Stinks for everyone, when Weigh-in might mean a gain. I like your idea about posting the week's lowest weight. Most of the time we are dealing with water weight if the Lbs are "up". Using the week's lowest weight would give us a different focus... basically, a break in the regular routine. We could post our best, which would reinforce making the best choices for the entire week.
Hey, I think that most THIN people also obsess about what they eat. They'd probably admit it too, if anyone asked them!
Human???? or Sci-Fi Alien Chick???
