Anybody Else Out There Like Me?
-130 
There are lots of "you" out there. We have all eaten the wrong thing more than once and for me, it was sometimes on purpose. I was so depressed for the first few months. It seemed like I noticed the weight loss but my husband didn't. It wasn't until someone he worked with had the surg. that he realized. Obviously it was too late to cheer me up! And then there is the trying to realize what we can and can't eat. The throwing up and the dumping. And the hair loss. And the throwing up! And feeling like life will never be normal again. Sound familiar? It is pretty typical. But it does get better! I promise! I am 2 1/2 years post now and life is pretty normal. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started talking to people on this site. It really helps. There aren't alot of people out there who understand us. We are really a breed of our own. Just keep in contact with people who have had wls and keep the hope. It will work!
LuLu,
I have not had surgery yet. On Nov 23 I go in but I still deal with the same things you do. I worry about failing after surgery because I dont have such a great home life. I was married 30 years and was divorced about 1 1/2 years ago and moved in with my sister. She is as controlling as my ex was but right now I am sort of stuck here due to bad choices. I am hoping after the surgery I will feel better so I can work more and be able to get a place of my own. I have a good job in a hospital as a Health Unit Coordinator so thats not an issue. I just want to make this work and I really worry about failing. I cant believe I am 51 and alone after all these years. With the coming gloomy weather it makes it even worse.
But on the brighter side I am having the surgery!!!!! Yeaaaaaaaa I just wish I had more support at home. I see you on the main board sometimes and hope to hear from you.
