Hi ~ I'm at the point where I have made some changes and now I'm starting to journal everything. Reading and educate myself on what the doctors, nurses, etc tell us and put 110% into this. It won't happen overnight but it will feel good knowing we've tried. That's just my 2 cents. Best of luck in your journey :)

You know the issues that you have with food right now?
They will be there after surgery. Surgery itself will only keep you in line for so long. Then one day---all your issues will be back and staring you in the face.
For some it will be 2
years later, for others a years.. for some it's six months later it three.
Just because you rearrange your innards doesn't mean your brain is fixed.
Some people lose all the weight and then gain it back just as quickly because they cannot cope or because they haven't solved their problems with food.
Use this time to truly deal with your issues now. Lying isn't going to help you. Take the help now. Deal with the eating issues. Seek the help you need. Set yourself up for success now.

Hey Lucile777
This is my very first post here, so bear with me. I was you. I started over three years ago and because I jumped ship, giant spoiled baby me and my(I am going to eat what I damned well please) food choices, my process slowed down quite a bit. I came back and truly listened to what the team was telling me and will be meeting the surgeon in the next weeks. I am caffeine free, junk food free, and the hardest of all for me, soda free. I food journal, stay hydrated and take all the supplements I am supposed to. Believe me when I tell you, I hear you and it is disappointing when you hit a set back but if you are like me that junk food is killing you girl. Do the program it isnt that bad in the end.

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
i know that i told you to be honest.. because youd only be cheating yourself.. also remember when i said it would be VERY eyeopening... looks like it was... this is a HARD HARD HARD process and they HAVE to beleive that you will be ok after so everyone is right... start changing habits now... its only going to help you in the long run

I passed with flying colours. They were all very impressed with my efforts to change and the 17 lbs I lost.
Two months later now, and I've been binging for the past two weeks. Today I weighed myself and I've managed to gain back 4 lbs.
I see my surgeon in two weeks, enough is enough. It's time to get back on the horse. To keep moving forward, to forgive and learn from our setbacks.
As others say, this isn't an overnight miracle.
