Topic: RE: How is everyone???
Hi Melissa,
I have been busy too, and I have been worrying about food more than any time in the past 3 years. I stay within a 4 pound range, but I really have to control myself now, and I worry that I might just be able to eat lots of sweets and fats now if I ever give them a real try. I am trying to keep all of my snacks in the protein, fruit and veggie families, but I think my red grapes are making my legs cramp when I eat too many of them. I have discovered all kinds of edamame that I love, dried and fresh in pod and out. I snack on them all the time, and they are saving me now. But I worry that I CAN eat too much if I want to, and I was hoping that would never happen. I hope I can stay under my own control. I never could before.
I wish I had a list of travels and family visits planned. School is driving me more nuts than usual, but there have been a couple of bright spots lately, so there is hope.
Have fun wherever you go, and thanks for keeping in touch with all of us,
Nancy

Hey Melissa!
Yep, just staying uber busy these days with support groups etc... It is a good thing! Just crazy! I need to fit a baby in there somewhere! LOL
I think psych help is crutial if we need it... i recommend being in touch with your PCP and therapy if you need it Melissa. Don't go at this alone. Obesity is a complex problem much more deep than just a stomach resizing and intestinal rerouting. If it were that simple there wouldn't be such a thing as regain. ya know?
14 lbs is still small in comparison to what u have lost... see the people who can help u, disclose your concerns, your struggles. Be transparent. Only good can come of it my friend, I promise.
Big hugs... keep me posted.
Love you!

HEY THERE!!
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YA THE OTHER DAY WONDERING WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN. BOY SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE HAD A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON BUT THAT CAN BE A GOOD THING CAN'T IT?
I SURE ENOUGH NEED TO GO SEE A PSYCH ALSO TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP ME WITH MY EATING HABITS. I HAVE NOW GAINED 14 lbs BACK AND FEEL LIKE THERE IS NO HOPE FOR ME TO GET BACK ON TRACK ANYMORE.
HAVE A GREAT TIME ON YOUR TRIP AND I PRAY YOU HAVE A SAFE ONE.

And as Melissa said, it takes time and you'll find that lots of things will never taste the same again. Which can be good! Crystal Light is a must have at my house, but I find I water it down in 32 oz, even almost 3 years after surgery, because otherwise it's still too strong for my taste buds.
There is lots of encouragement to be found around OH.
Mel, you're making me tired with all the talk of traveling. Want to pack the midget along with you? I'll ship her to you free of charge!? LOL
She turned 5 months yesterday. We're eyeing crawling and other fun things very soon. I sooooo have to get the house ready. I have no hope for the cats, they can fend for themselves. *snickers*

Congrats on your surgery Peggy! I think you are doing great, it can be discouraging at times in the beginning... you are not abnormal for feeling that way. It can be tough learning how the new way of life as a postop. Do you best to sip sip sip all day. Try crystal light or drinking water at room temp... it makes a difference for some reason.
I think your weight loss sounds awesome and it will slow down sometimes to a hault for a couple weeks while the body "catches up" and then start up again so dont be discouraged if this happens to you. It is notorious for this on week 2-6 sometimes.
Hang in there my friend, keep up the good work, you are doing terrific!
