Thanks so much for this, Sher. The mystery for me is that we have never really done well with my post-surgery body. The two of us couldn't seem to understand how to ... how shall I say this ... how to behave, I guess, in our relationship. There is deep caring between us and a long history - but we're empty together. Just empty. And my heart is breaking, I can't tell a lie. And I'm eating to fill the gaping hole in my heart - Maureen

Maureen, I am so sorry to hear of your marital difficulties. I can't imagine what you are dealing with, but want you to know you are in my prayers. You will get through this. Remember to treat yourself well, you are worth it.
All my best
Sher

HI Tammy.
How were the eggs last night??
Been thinking of you and hope you are progressing well.
I thought he was OK, it was kind of like going to a weigh****chers meeting and learning about food substitutions and to get moving.
I guess for me we eat such a small amount that I have made the choice to cut out white carbs and measure.
He also had it measured out to 4oz turkey, 1/2 cup of this and that. It totaled over 1 1/2 cups of food and pumpkin pie for dessert even at about 10 1/2 months out there is no way I can eat all that.
Did you buy that low carb cookbook I was wondering how it is. I love the (I think) skinny girls 200 recipes for 200 calories. I have been using the fiber stick cereal ground up as breadcrumbs and they are great. Picky husband can't even tell the difference.
Have a great day.
Kathy

I spoke with Dr. Raf's coordinator this a.m. and will follow up - already doing the emotional eating thing but I am STRONG WOMAN!! What's going on with me right now (and for the past year) is my marriage of nearly 23 years looks to be headed for divorce and I am so, so, so sad about it - trying to find comfort in food has never worked, ain't gonna work now - but logic does not rule over food addiction. Thanks for being there, Tammy. Maureen

Hi Maureen - I went from a band to a bypass so there wasn't any added malabsorption associated - I never had any to begin with...
I highly recommend you talk to your surgeon or a surgeon about what's going on with you Maureen - you might just be surprised to find a solution that you hadn't considered, it's worth a try right?
I found you because when you go to "your start" page everyone who is listed as one of your friends shows up there with their most recent topics they posted regardless of the forum they posted it in - I'm watching you!
Really Maureen - I am concerned that you are letting this frantic anxiety build up inside you too long and it's going to send you into emotional eating - I could be wrong - and I hope I am - but I would really love to hear that you've made an appointment with a surgeon and a counselor - both will help give you options to help you feel more incharge - right now you don't seem to be in command - take your power back - you can do it! You still are in the realm of normal weight - I have faith in you!

Hi Tammy, I am so happy you're rebounding so quickly from your revision surgery. Can you tell me exactly what you went from (original surgery) to what you just had done? Sorry if this is a repeat request, I can't remember 5 minutes ago anymore... in terms of the research you must have done, what are the 'red flags' associated with the type of revision surgery you had - I am especially concerned about more serious malabsorption consequences as I consider a revision. What do you know about what you just had done? Take care - and thanks so much for your post at my other board - how did you find me there?? Maureen
