fed up

hi fed up i am so sorry that you are having a tough time at the moment but things will improve,just wondered are there any support groups in your area as i found them invaluable

Sorry your feeling out of sorts - the advice everyone has given you is good and logical and in a few months you will notice you weight loss and got into a routine for your own nutritional needs. Yes it must have been a shock to have your op so quickly (wish mine could be so) but with all the support from being here you will get through this and i'm sure it anyone in the future feels as you do now you will be the first person to help them because of your own experiences. Sending you hugs with fairy dust to make you smilex

I'm So Sorry!!!
This is the one thing my surgeon flagged up as being the worst thing that usually happens ~ I asked him just that. But he did say the first 10weeks were the worst, so it's not forever. Remember nothing is forever and by the time the summer hols are here you'll be lithe and lovely and well adjusted!
Keep strong

Hi Fedup, just caught up with your thread. I think you articulated a fear that many people have of finally making a real break with old food habits. I wanted to tell you 1) it does get better, I PROMISE!! and 2) when you struggle and feel sad the best thing you can do for yourself is ask for help in any way you can, by going on here, by going to a support group, by asking for specialized therapy. Those are all avenues for you to get the support you need. It must be really tough having virtually no support from your team and having ongoing pain and depression, I feel for you hun.

In this, time does make a difference so give yourself a bit of time to let go of the old you and the comfort eating and embrace the new already-slimmer (fantastic weight loss btw) who eats for nutrition.

You can do it, we have faith in you and we are here for you. Wishing you all the best.

Nic

Gaynor: I was ready for the surgery, but not to happen so quick. I got 2 days notice, and just felt it wasnt enough to say goodbye to food! I dont truly regret having it done, but it is hard. And no, certainly did NOT have enough support from the team. Didnt meet my surgeon til the day of the op. Got his jumped up SHO at my inital appointment who told me if he was fat he'd take up running. Didnt get chance to ask any questions. Specialist nurse liz, is very nice and friendly, but only works mon and thurs, and i cant ring her everyday! I kinda knew the process id have to go through post op, but i never imagined it would be so hard. Its all my head wanting my comfort food.
HC - my psych nurse comes to my house once a week. And i can talk to her about it, but she doesnt have much experience with WLS or eating issues. In january, i had a "breakdown", my depression and anxiety hit an all time low, and tbh, im only just picking myself up. Ive had to change meds, cos the others were huge capsules. And im waiting for therapy. So yeah, i am an emotional wreck, and this has hit me harder than i thought.

Thanks to everyone who has replied. Sorry for the moan.

[fat-girl-slim08]

I can say in all honesty, the frist 8 weeks was the worst time ever for me, Grieving over food I couldn't eat, It was Absolutley horrible, Frustrating, and very very hard to get my head around it all, I felt exactally the same as you at time thinking what the hell have I done, I didn't realise how mentally hard it was and is, But I promise you, It Really does get better as time goes on, Keep strong and keep ya chin up, Your gonna do just great! ((Hugs)) x
