Yes, there is hope.  You will look back in a few months and feel silly that you ever thought you regretted making this decision.

I found warm water not cold easier to handle.

I hope you get better.

These bad feelings will change once you figure out what it is that is making you throw up.

I am sorry for your problems.

Topic: Back to the Hospital Round two
Okay so tuesday night I guess my body had it. I had a small piece of chicken..well make that approx 3-4 bites of a small piece and started vommiting about an hour later...that was 8:30pm on tuesday. It stopped around 4:30 am wednesday. The ER admitted me after a Catscan told them I had a blockage of some sort (since I couldnt hold down the fluids with the dye to help them see better) and that a surgeon would see me in the am. I was released earlier today. It ended up being scar tissue build up and inflamation which triggered vommiting which triggered more inflamation and so on. I never had a chance apparently.

Anyway..The throwing up stopped for a while and I was released but I am yet again on a liquid diet. I am having a hard time coping with it and even though the nutritionist said I can try foods (not what Dr B said..ugh) I am hesitant..I had some mashed potatoes and threw up again at dinner time tonight. I wi**** would stop. I seriously hate shakes and jello.

I am feeling very upset and frustrated and all my dr could say was "well at least u lost 32lbs" FML.

I almost wish I didnt do this...Its like a black cloud hovering over me and I feel so helpless. My relationship with food went from love and comfort to pure hate..i loathe eating now...ugh. Please say theres hope? :/

signed,
Make it Stop

Hi Liana,

I am so sorry about what you are going through.  I wish there is something I can do for you.

I hope you come back to my support group at some point.  Of course, when you are feeling better.

Hang in there.  It will get better.

Good People Do Good.

Walk from Obesity

Support Team MM!  This year we have TWO WALKS, and a BIG GOAL.  -MM

This spring I'm participating in an event called Walk from Obesity which benefits the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) Foundation and Obesity Action Coalition (OAC).  This will be my fourth? year participating in this program.

Every day, millions of people are affected by obesity and its related health conditions. It's a complex, multi-faceted and often life-long struggle that is frequently misunderstood. That is why I joined the Walk from Obesity - to fund research, education and advocacy efforts to help fight this disease.

This is an epidemic of crisis proportions. Yet so few people (and even fewer fundraisers) are willing to speak out, and take a step toward helping the problem.

Please take a moment to visit the TEAM PAGE and make a tax-deductible donation today towards my fundraising goal. Simply click the link at the bottom of this email. It's that easy! Donating online is easy, fast and safe.

Plus you'll be making a big difference for a good cause.

Thank you in advance for your support.

  •  On-site registration will be $30
