Tuesday morning...any one up yet.

Good Morning! Just got back from the dentist so I am all numb on the left side. Trying to eat lunch and it is proving difficult. I have my appointment this afternoon to get the IUD put in. I am really scared it's going to hurt! Spoke to Amy at Dr. Cacucci's office and she said right now they are scheduling the end of July, first week of August. I should get a call and schedule this week. EEK! To answer the questions, I don't smoke! Thank goodness! However I know the addiction is very hard to break so I congratulate anyone who has stopped smoking!! Off to take a shower and stuff before my appointment at 2:40 pm! Sam

I am an ex-smoker.....I think they are equally hard to quit (food and cigarettes). If my stomach was not so small I would have already cheated at the food. Cigarettes took me years to quit and I am pretty sure that food will take me years to "get over" Addiction is hard, no matter what it is!! Good luck to everyone!!

First I would like to thank everyone who had the nerve to openly answer my question. I think one thing Im learning is Addiction is hard no matter what your drug of choice its more the problems/reasons u reach for the addictive item to begin with. Yes Im a carb addict, but Ive also got alot of emotional issues to deal with as well . "Head Hunger" scares me too!!! My dear husband gave up ciggs the day we met becouse I have allergies and I wouldnt date him becouse he was a smoker. Not that I was "punishing" him, just I knew I couldnt be around it and I didnt think it was fair to make him quit or ask him to go out in the winter to smoke while I stay in a warm house. Well he quit that night and has not touched them in 3 yrs. He just cant understand even though he tries, why I cant just stop overeating. He thinks I should be able to follow the post op diet without the surgery and loose wt almost as fast as those who have surgery. He knows now I cant he just cant understand why. This is one reason I want him to go to a support group with me. He is a wonderful loving husband that trys so much to help me thru this but hes never been 250 lbs much less 400. Not sure how I can make him understand the difference. Not to mention Ive been overweight for 20 yrs and he smoked for 5. Mariah
