Don't be so hard on your self sweetie
I also gained around 4 pounds last month and I swore that I was the worst weight loss patient ever. After a few days of sulking I decided to follow Groucheta's path and give weigh****chers a try. I am happy to report that I lost 6 pounds in a week.
Perhaps this is something you can try? With ww I don't fill like I am dieting at all, I sometimes have a hard time getting in all my points.
Best of luck

Please dont get so down on your self. You can step back take a deep breath and start over again. My surgeon recommends going back on liquids to re shrink your stomach. Also think about the reasons you had this surgery and get back to eating your protein first, and then other foods. I had a christmas party tonight to go to that was a pot luck. I ate some pot roast I had taken (I knew the meat would be tender enough to go down well.), I had a little ham, then a few bites of vegetables, then moved away from the food. When everyone else had desserts I found someone to sit and talk to and did not touch the desserts, But ohh did they scream for me to come taste them. But now I feel good about my self control.
You CAN do it for YOURSELF.

Topic: awful!!!! gained
I have gained five pds this week. I know it is the damn christmas cookies. It is bad enough I am losing so slow, but now I have gained five pds. I know it is my own fault. I hate this, I thought this would be easier. It seems as if everyone else is losing good and I am still have so much to lose. And not losing hardly at all. Only to gain. I guess I just need somewhere to vent. It is like I have never had surgery. I still feel as if I am dieting all the time. What am I doing wrong? please help.

Topic: RE: Going through stress and not knowing how to deal
Hello beautiful. Sorry I've been so bad at staying in contact with you and the other Surgery folks. This is my busy time of year at work and I've been dealing with major stress and money issues myself. Girl.... I am so sorry about your mom, I myself cheated (actually I didnt cheat physically but definitely did emotionally and mentally) I was feeling really unloved and not cherished by my boyfriend (who is now my fiance) we'd been together for a long time and had a kid together and everything. And sometimes you just feel like you need that person to make you feel better, the way food makes you feel better. It's a different kind of addiction, that person makes you feel good, alive, happy, like a hottie, and you need that. And it's really hard to break free from them, even though you know that you risk losing your family, because you've gotten to the place where you feel like you dont know what you're gonna do without that person.
I felt so bad when my fiance found out (after the fact) that I'd had an online friend who I was emotionally involved with. I felt so bad, and it felt like it wasn't even worth it, but at the time I was involved in it.... I couldn't imagine a day going by without me talking to that guy on chat or on the phone. And afterwards I realized that I put EVERYTHING in my life at stake. Your mom is in the middle of it right now, and I hope she has the strength to right herself. It takes a lot of willpower to get on and stay on the right path.
Regarding the eating, I know girl. I've been so bad lately. The holidays are almost a reminder of everything good and BAD in our family lives. So it's hard not to feel stress about it. Just remember that we are here for you, and we love you so much Julie! I haven't been on myspace lately because my fiance has been hogging the computer at night, because he uses it for work, and we now have a FIREWALL up at my job so I can't access it anymore! boo hoo!
Please feel free as always to contact me at my personal email [email protected]
Hugs to you from Cali!

Topic: RE: I Need Support!!!
Your profile says you are in a SIZE 4 jeans?!? Walk away from the scale, girl, and really look at yourself. Realize what you have accomplished and remember back to such a short time ago when size FOUR was unimaginable [frankly, I still can't imagine it, so consider yourself very very lucky].
Try not making this about the number on the scale [because even you admit to yourself that it's not a 'real' number since you go by different numbers depending on where you weigh] but how you FEEL. I think if you pay better attention to how you FEEL you will make better choices with food because you are saying in your profile that you are making yourself sick.
I am a recovering bulimic and believe me, it's not just about the food, but about the emotional high I got from purging and physical 'punishment' I was doing to myself which I believed I deserved. Take some time and really think about if you are eating to self-abuse, or to fill some emotional need instead of just to nourish your body.
I think a lot of us are going thru very emotional times right now, wether it be because of the holidays or adjusting to our new bodies or realizing that we still have limitations. It's so hard for me to get thru a holiday season without binging on food and alcohol. And as far as the food goes, I have certainly not been as perfect as I would like to be. I think we can all use the virtual hug and a reminder that we are human and that life is not perfect, and it's not a number on the scale that will ultimately make any of us happy. We have to find that inside ourselves, and probably, it's been there the whole time, fat or not.
Don't be so hard on yourself!
