Let's have an "air it out" session...
Oh I could go on and on sadly.
Main thing is we are broke right now and I am freaking out. Kids have to get school clothes and all that fun stuff. So I have to get a job outside the house. I have not worked since 2004...I am so stressed that all I wanna do is eat but I am not yet.
We will be ok in a month as they have promised Hubby more OT but I need it now.
Also I am suck at 185 and I am so mad at myself...I feel like I am failing this just like everything else. Mostly because I have not been working out as much. So it is all on me gah!!!

They say that confession is good for the soul so here goes. I had my surgery 5.5 years ago and maintain a 151 lb. lost for over two years. At about 3 years out I had hernia surgery which cause me to gain about 10 lbs. I was ok with that as a bounce back and I still could wear my clothes comfortably. Fast forward to end of 2009, my daughter gets engaged, a small family wedding is plan, the wedding begins to turn into a monster going from 150 invitees to 525 invitees, the budget grows, my stress grows, now I am on Lexapro. I don't have time to focus on me so I eat what ever while being the wedding planner. I gained 25 lbs. Way to go for the wedding. After the wedding is over in Sept. 2010, I go into a deeper depression, up my meds and now by the beginning of May 2011, I am coming out of my stupor. I have gained another 30 lbs. Are you counting. I have now gained 70 lbs. What the heck happened? On May 8th, I came back to this board and started reading everyone's posts and getting control back in my life. For the past, 13 weeks, I have been eating the basics, 80 to 100 grams proteins a day, no drinking 30 minutes before or after , watching the carbs and have been exercising religiously. I am down 32 lbs. and getting my life back. I thank god that we have this board.

OMG! I NEED this today. So, first I got laid off fromy my teaching job and have been frantically searching for a job ever since .... with absolutely no luck. So, yesterday I finally had an interview. I was extremely excited about it and had a feeling I wold get the job.
SO, on the way to the interview, I am minding my own business -- driving down the road. Next thing I know, I wake up in an ambulance on the way to the ER. I can't remember the month/year, who the president is, or even where I live. The EMT tells me I hit a telephone pole. I blacked out, lost control of the car and smashed a pole. Then, when I get to the ER, the police officer tells me I was trying to eat the broken glass at the scene and he had to take it out of my mouth. He said I was acting "bizarre." Even further, they found a can of keyboard cleaner (duster) in the back of my car and are dusting it for prints to see if I was huffing..... ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME!!?? My boyfriend, who uses my car all the time, is an IT tech and he had it in the car for work. I'm not worried about that -- I know I didn't huff or even touch the can -- but really?
I have absolutely no memory of anything. I am just so glad I didn't hurt anyone else. My car is totaled - both airbags deployed - I only had liability insurance. AND I am not allowed to drive until a neurologist clears me. I go see her this afternoon -- but how the hell am I supposed to get a job when I can't drive .....I don't have a car right now, anyway...
UGH!!!!!!! My life sucks, it's just one thing after another.

It really sounds like it, especially if you hadn't eaten. I have heard of a lot of people showing symptoms at around one year to 2 years.
Get a glucose monitor and check your blood sugar before and after you eat, I would say about 30 minutes to an hour after you eat and see if it drops. I would also talk to your doctor about it. Maybe he can do some testing.

Yep! Mine got horrible while I was pregnant. I blacked out on my couch. I also had an episode where my whole mouth went numb and I couldn't focus on anything going on around me. No fun! I'm so glad you are okay!
PS- As for trying to eat the glass. After I have an episode, I literally want to put any and everything in my mouth and eat (food items) after being blacked out and some trauma, you might have thought it was food of some kind. My husband has been shocked at the way I just start shoving food in my mouth after an episode. So thats what sounds like to me, in my non medical professional opionion. lol
