Welcome back! Sorry to hear of your struggles and I hope you are doing ok now.
I have to agree with the other poster. Therapy with a trained psychologist who specialized in weight related areas is a viable option. or you can contact the professionals from CV editing services https://www.careersbooster.com/our-services/cv-editing/. This will save your time and at the same time the result will be excellent - there will be many invitations for interviews from reputable companies
I'm having a rough time with just soups...I still have another week and a half before my doctor possibly moves me on to purée foods. I have no energy, and the protein shakes are tough to down. Can someone give me any tips on making these days easier?
Hi Mersh, I'm glad to hear you're in a better place than before. I had the Sadi DS in Nov 14 at about 300lbs as a 6'1 male. I was hoping to get down to 200lbs, with a stretch goal of 185lbs. A year after surgery I weighed 135 lbs and people would pray for me because they were all sure I was dying from cancer. Being too thin was a difficult experience to go thru. I had no say in my weight, and I believe everyones body gravitates to where it wants to be.
Eventually I gained back about 25+lbs and I'm comfortable with life regardless of weight now.
Good luck and stay healthy!

Hi Mersh -- good to see you back here! I remember some of the challenges you were dealing with and glad you have made it through to where you are today. As Melody said, there's still pretty good activity on the RNY daily thread and you can contribute as much or as little as you like but there's great people there for support for sure!

Hi I hope you will be encouraged and inspired here. One thing I did learn in a program I was in is that you need to find your why. You need to know the nitty gritty truthful reason that you are making this change. Maybe it's this wake up call for you. Keep coming here and find help and encouragement. You've come too far to give up now and may you find success

Welcome back! Sorry to hear of your struggles!
the menu thread is still active in the RNY forum. Everyone is welcome there! Weekends are quiet but week days are usually fairly active.
Thank you so much I found your reply helpful.Yes I'm ready to make changes.. I love how well you've done and you are so close to your goal weight. I'll work hard for that too
Hello everyone! I'm Mersh and I used to chat here a lot a few years ago, or so. I ended up pulling away from everything because I went through a really bad time with an eating disorder where I had pretty much eaten far too little to sustain me and built up a hatred for food. I made myself sick and spent 5 months in a treatment center for anorexia. I gained weight while there that was so very needed and then spent the rest of my time after in therapy and trying to keep my head on straight.
I've decided after being unhappy with where my weight was allowed to settle that I would come back for support. Not sure how active these forums still are, but I'm looking forward to getting back to basics in a much healthier way than I did the first time.
