I feel the same way,what surgury did you have?I know when I was at my heaviest years ago I dont think I was as fixated on food as I am now,lol,(I had  lap band in 05 and hd it removed in 09 due to  slippage and needed it out becuase it wasnt  for me) Im  getting the sleeve now.I am still about 90  # lighter than before the  band,but have alot to loose still.Good luck !

you and martha are both rude,heres what I was tought ,if you have nothing nice to say best say nothing at all, this is a place created that we can come to and vent.Also ,I am not getting free care ,I am self employed and a freaking tax payer,plus im disabled so I qualify for a programe that  allows me to  purchase medicaid  just like someone else might purchase  any other insurance,I cannot  buy any other insurance because I have 2 many pre existing conditions.You owe me an appoligy.
It so happens that only  1 dr in the state  will take medicaid,so Im trying to deal with him,whome I have yet to meet,his staff are the ones that are sitting on our paperwork.Im for sure not going to get a loan and pay cash for this if the  insurance I pay for will cover it.I never said  I was getting anything free.Matter of fact  when I  replyed to martha I was clear on that.

My desk at work looks like a health food store.  I keep multiple sources of protein, cans of broth, water bottles,  calorie free flavors for the water..... all in an attempt to make this wls work out!!   i was never this fixated on food before the surgery.  I work with a lady who "secretely" had RNY several years ago.  She very skinny.  She also walks around with packets of "food" and is constantly eating something.  Celery sticks and protein from what I have seen.  What a life!!!  So I guess the truth is you can fixate on food and be fat or you can fixate on food and be skinny or at least attempt to be skinny. 

Thanks.  I had a sleeve.  I am still eating far less than I did before but now I have to be careful so I don't gain..  Never mind lose.  I did not go through this a pay this much because I wanted these results!!!   My doctor says excercise.....eat less...have more will power...  If I could have done all those things successfully I would not have needed the surgery!!!!!!!!!!!  I am eating stuff I don't like and stay hungry most of the time and it is still a struggle to not gain.  Maybe myexpectations were all wrong but even so it should be better than this.  Believe it or not I am trying to be fair.

I just found out about the one in NO. I cannot wait to go!!!!!!!!!
