Joyce, arn't you already at or below goal weight? have you regained some since your ERny loss? I am just wondering why you are being so strict with yourself? xo Nancy s

Hiya Nancy!

I learned from my 1st  WLS (proxy Rny) that our tools need some help or we'll  have some regain issues!   LOL!

I am at goal BUT.....I want to stay that way soooooo.......I'm having a few days of "reigning it in" .....AND, the more protein grams I get; the perkier I feel.  My plate is always overflowing so it's important for me to be at the top of my energy game!

Want to join me?

I'm in the "have two extra protein drinks a day"  stage, orders from Andi the nutritionist. I will be starting my two week liquids real soon and I'll jump on the protein train with ya then for sure!

I have actually lost about 13 lbs since this journey FIRST began since i don't feel the need for the "100 last meals" like i did the first time.

This time I am going to work with the tool , not against it or try to out think it. Every new food that I used to love that doesn't appeal  or set well with me after the surgery, I plan to celebrate, not mourn.

I am also going to start seeing a therapist who specializes in eating disorders to help me along the way, sometimes it's the tool that fails but i believe for me it was my own food issues that made me fail and if i don't correct them in my head, the body won't follow.

I had alot of trauma in my early life and gained weight as a form of protection from the outside world,  it's something i don't need any longer but the tapes still play in my head to some degree.

Oddly enough, my father passed away about 6 months ago and the family was looking through all the old pictures he had to divvie them up and i looked at pictures of myself in early grade school (now with an adult eye) and i was not FAT.

I remember thinking i was horribly fat back then, i don't know if a kid said something to or my mom commented about clothes being tight or what but i believed i was fat and it became a self fulfilling profecy. Intresting, huh?  ok done rambling...... happy protein!!!! xo nancy

Nancy!  You CAN do it!!!!  You've got a GREAT attitude and a recipe for success!


Give me a P!  ..............................................

Nancy,

Thanks.

Nanci,
Happy to help, I don't know what insurance coverage you have for behavioral care but the following Drs and Therapists specialize in OCD, anxiety and body image eating disorders.

Daniel Sutton
James McLoone
John Sciali
Mark Treegoob
Katherine Doyle
Mike Zatkowsky
Drake Duane
Erica DeNorscia

They are all over the valley, check your provider directory for one close to you that's covered under your insurance. You can also google the individual names for more info .

My revision will be my THIRD bariactric surgery in 20 years so I KNOW I need to have some emotional counseling along the way. I also know I will succeed because my eyes are wide open, I know what to expect and plan to be completely compliant but my biggest adversary is my own old thinking and images of who and what I am.
I wish you the very best !
xo Nancy
