FOOD

YOU KNOW GUYS AND GALS.......MAYBE ITS JUST MY FRUSTRATIONS, BUT 5 1/2 YEARS NOW AND WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD, IT SEEMS MORE OF A HASSEL THAN ANYTHING.  SOMEONE COULD ASK ME--WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT?  I HAVE NO IDEA, EATING SEEMS MORE OF A CHORE THAN ANYTHING.  I HAVE NO WANT FOR IT--NO CRAVINGS.  ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE FEEL LIKE THAT OR IS IT JUST ME??

Hey there Becky!!!!  I cannot identify with you.  I kinda wish I could.  I want to eat most everything, as always LOL.  But...I don't.  That is the difference now.  I have gotten on a binge of eating lately, since momma has been sick, but I have stopped now.  Anyway...mainly I just wanted to say "hello" and "how are you?"  I sure miss ya!!!

I can't identify with you either Becky.  There aren't many foods that don't appeal to me and eating isn't a chore but a joy.  Some things never change!!!  I do crave salad's more than anything though. 

Hey, it's good to see you here.  I have missed you!!!!!

Now Becky, you know we love you and are so glad you are back, but..................did you make this post to make all of us feel guilty???  LOL!!!  Girl, how I wish I had that problem.  I still eat breakfast thinking about lunch and start thinking about supper as soon as that is finished.  The only thing different is that I can't eat as much.  But the kicker is that in about 2 hours I could do it all over again!!!  How I wish I could start this journey all over again.  Knowing what I know now, I would do things much differently.  You know I don't remember much information from this board about long term behaviors and such.  As I remember everyone was around 2 years out or less.  My issues did not begin until 3 or more years out.  Now is when I need support!!!!  I got so much information about the process and what to expect along the way but it seems we drop out the further along we get.  I know some of it is that we feel better and get out and DO things instead of thinking of them.  I think another reason some of us don't post about WLS progress this far out is because we have had some regain and we feel guilty or the old failure monster shows his ugly head again.  I had a 43 pound regain and was feeling the defeated demon.  Thank God I have lost 7 pounds of that 43.  I will get it back off!!!  I remember reading people post "XX# of pound gone for good".  Newbies need to know that they are gone for good if you stick to the plan.
Boy, you did not ask for this did you????
Glad to see your smiling face on OH.  I do see you of FB but I don't post much on there.  Please come back often.  We miss you!!!

Hey lady,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo I am in no way tryin to make anyone feel guilty.  If anyone is it is me....cause I dont have the appetite but yet I dont have the loss either....it just comes and goes, I try to get my water and vitamins in and get my protein where I can.  Now I have did a little regain myself, not much buit its enough to make me not want to eat when I do think about it...but i remind myself you cant depreive your body of the protein it needs to survive.  That to me just makes it feel like such a chore to eat.    I love all of you too much for that...yall are an extended family ~!  regardless whether I post here or not.....

Take care,
Becky

I'm with you. the last month or so nothing appeals to me.  I eat cause I have to, once in a while I WANT to eat, but it's not that often.  So to keep up my protein I have 3-4 protein drinks and even those seems to be more of a chore.
