A New Beginning
Aug 22, 2011
Its been nearly four years since I had my gastric bypass and although I've lost a considerable amount of weight, I've been pretty much at a stand still for nearly two years. I came across this site because I woke up today with this hunger (not for food) to change my life. I want to get back on the wagon and finally reach my goals and find the support I need. My mother and sister have been very supportive of the entire process but sometimes its hard for them to really understand the daily struggles my body experiences. Along with the changes my new body has brought to my life, I still have to deal with my addiction to food.Since my surgery I have lapsed in my attendance at group meetings, OA and therapy. I really feel the strain that I'm going through mentally and emotionally; so many told me that this surgery wasn't going to solve everything and they were right. My body may be different but my mind isn't; I still turn to food to comfort me. I need to find help, I've joined this site to meet other people who may also be struggling or who have overcome the obstacles over eating and this surgery can have.
I'm open to any and all advice, suggestions and stories about this path.
