i am a failure

Hi Deon.  Glad to see you back where you belong...with the rest of us.  You know what to do. so I won't hash over that with you .....and we ALL know how hard it is to get back on track.  But I KNOW you can do it!  Your sleeve is the tool to help you do it. 

Best wishes!

Hi Wanda,

Thanks for the welcome back.

Maybe you guys are all i need to get me back on track.

Love
Deon.

Welcome back, Deon!  It is so good to see another familiar face :-)

I sympathize with what you have gone through, because I've had a round of spinal surgeries starting about two years ago (one year post-vsg).  About a year and nine months ago, it all started going wrong, and I ended up in the hospital and a nursing home for over a month and was laid up at home for another three months.  Now I am partially disabled ... and 28 dang pounds over goal!  I got really emaciated while I was laid up, and the doctor suggested I eat lots of ice cream to gain the weight back.  Oh it came back all right ... along with 28 more pounds, and my raging sugar / carb addiction which I had beat when I had my sleeve is back in all its torment!!

I am really down on myself, too, as you are and feeling guilty, as you said -- eat garbage, feel guilty, eat garbage, feel guilty.  GRRR! 

So, my fellow garbage eater   let's do better!  We CAN lose the weight again!  I'll look forward to hearing from you and knowing how you are getting on.  Keep popping in!

well you are not a failure. you just went through some rough times and some rebound because of it does not make you a failure. you have done the right thing by getting back on here. it will help inspire you to get back on track. there are lots of threads on this group about getting back on track with lots of hints so take some time to go back through the older posts and find them. some great info there. you will also see how many people have gotten off track and recovered and realize you can do it too.  check in often. it can help. we are pulling for you.   Diane

When you are dealing with health issues, the important thing is to heal. Once you heal, you can worry about your weight. So don't beat yourself up, just get back on the horse!
