feeling sad and alone...
on September 23, 2009 6:21 pm
i don't know how else to express my feelings but right now i'm a week and a half post op, i can't eat anything and i'm soo hungry and on top of that, i'm feeling extremely alone. I live on campus and everyone is eating so much food around me like mcdonalds and such and yeah, i walk away, but it just gets me thinking, did i do the right thing? right now with the way im feeling i would totally turn to food, but since i can't, all i want to do is bust out and cry to the world. i'm having such a hard time being post op. i don't know what to do. i'm so miserable that i'm afraid that i will sabatoge myself. i'm not asking for anyone to feel sorry for me or pity me, i just have no where else to turn to but here because i feel like i can express myself easily to a bunch of internet bloggers than my own mom. lol but then i can just tell myself how i would feel but then i would look crazy. lol

4 days post op..not feeling too good!
on September 18, 2009 2:16 pm
hey guys. omg so i'm four days out and i fee like shit! i was really starting to regret this decision. i doon't want this to be a bad start to my weight loss by i had no idea of this unbearable pain i would be going through. i feel like someone is constantly stabbing me with a knife in my stomach. will this pain ever go away? will i ever feel like my normal self again? i'm starting to have that anxiety feeling of food separation. my family keeps stressing the fact that i can no longer eat the way i use to. i can't enjoy food anymore. like i basically have to eat like an ant. i mean i know i can't eat a lot of the things i use to but i'm really starting think that food was more than comfort to me. i actually LOVE food. does anyone understand what i'm saying? i've been on water, broth and jello for two days now. i've had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner and i'm already SICK of it!!! is that normal? but can u blame me, i wanted to kick the staff in their face every time they brought me the same thing! lol ok maybe i'm going to far but im really tired of these limitations. also, my doctor has yet to speak to me on the food topic. how long am i limited to clear liquids? and can anyone give me any ideas on what others clear liquids i can have besides broth and jello??? i know i'm only four days out but with this food limitations and the pain added together, i'm going CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Story

HI! my name is Samantha. I'm 22 years old and I'm a college student studying to be an elementary special education teacher. I live in Long Island, NY and i've been a NYer all of my life! lol. Another thing i've been all of my life is FAT. Unfortunately growing up as the "fat kid" was not the most fun thing growing up as. All i did, through out elementary, high school and college was get fatter and fatter and fatter. However, I've never been this heavy. I won't say my current weight until I get down to my goal weight which is 150. I've done a lot of diets in the past and they've worked for that time period but i was soon to gain back my weight plus more. I'm really hoping to have surgery because I know my life will change. I will finally have a chance to be happy and healthier. Since my excessive weight gain, I have hypertension, and anemia due to a large amount of blood loss. I also have diabetes that runs very closely in my family and if i don't get the help i need, i'm next in line.
