I don't think you need a revision as much as you need support from us- all of us who are there
with you. I know what you mean about the hunger- I don't get it  all the time but whe I am hungry I am HUNGRY. Dammit that's why I had this surgery. I finally got my self together and returned to pre-op diet plan- the South Beach approach- sort of. I have a huge bowl of  salad greens before dinner- I eat a big bowl of scrambled eggs for breakfast, lunch is hard at times....but I am getting there. The biggest problem is after dinner snacking.
I think you see the creep up of your wieght and you know- it needs to be nipped in the bud.
Lets get together and work on this

I'd be interested. I am having a great deal of stress in my life....I really need to unload a lot. I think i "pooh poohed" all the mental stuff that can happen after WLS. I am such a different person three and a half years later. My marriage has been kaput for 2 years, I am in a relationship (and madly in love with him) for 2 years now and he's finally going thru the legal divorce after years of seperation, my husband and I are friends thank God. We still live together and raise the children together pending our bankruptcy (I was in a car accident which snuffed out my great excercise routine i was in...and put us 150k in debt...which we have yet to recover from the jerk who hit me) Meanwhile 3 of 4 of my kids have ADHD/mood disorders/mild autism spectrum disorders/...it's a major struggle to keep us all on the sane side of life.
Okay back to the WLS part of the post LOL....I am 171 after a low of 158 (not too bad I was 168 day of tummy tuck then lost like 10-15 pounds from that - not in skin only about 5 was skin, the rest was post op ickyyy tummy) I hate myself from the waist down lol. My boyfriend actuallly adores my body the way it is, fat thighs and wiggly butt and all..I am scared that all this stress is going to push me back into bad habits I see creeping in. The sweet tooth needs chocolate  and I find I can tolerate candy and sweets now. I find myself grazing and snacking and i worry i am going to creep up and up and wake up fat again one morning.
I have no motivation to excercise no motivation to plan/monitor my diet. I need it back again. Part of the problem is I know I can't afford anymore plastic surgery and I feel like why bother losing more weight if I cant  fix the extra skin and all....sigh.
Overall I am pleased with myself. I think I am far enough out that I can't really remember being obese anymore. That could be some of it. My life is with Wayne now- and he never knew me fat. We met just before my tummy tuck, so he did know the remnants of my former self, plus he sees the lower half of my body with its loose skin, but he never knew the fat me.
I work a job I have had for two years- again they never knew the fat me. I need the support of my friends from here- Paula and you...and the others to get on/stay on the right path. We've all had struggles following WLS not just with the weight- but with life- and its easy to push ourselves down the priority list- but like I said I dont want ot wake up fat one morning.

I know I've seen it posted here before but I am looking for the support group that meets at L&M.  This is the most convenient for me especially since I work there and practically live there.  Does anyone know when the meetings are?   Thanks
 I was just banded on 6/29/09.  Love OH but thinking maybe if I had a "hands on" group I may deal a little better.

Mimi,

I'm glad things worked out and that you are home recuperating! I didn't have buyer's remorse until after the 2nd week when I only lost 4 pounds. Dr. R is concerned and I have to see him in another 2 weeks instead of the normal 6 week post-op appointment to make sure I'm losing more weight.

I hope I'm just retaining water and I'll lose big this week.

I started back to work yesterday and it was hell. I'm glad you have more time off because it will really aid in the speed of your recovery, I think.

Good luck and it will be a happy day once you get that drain out--I hated mine and was so happy to have it out!
