Meltdown...hmmmm,you did mention a few days ago that you were having trouble sleeping,did you manage to get a few nights in of sleeping well?
"They" (you know...."Them"....hehehe). OK,"they" say you can never get back sleep once lost. However,I am wondering if you are well rested. Lack of sleep makes me wacko,like when I was trying to have Jean start a food club...GRIN!!
Get back to me on that,OK?
I am reminded of another acronym from Over Eaters Anonymous:
HALT.
H-hungry
A-angry
L-lonely
T-tired
Making this little list for myself,helps me to define what is going on during my "meltdowns".
Hope some of this helps,...the flowers must be gorgeous in Jersey right about now...ahhhh yes,I remember them well.
I hope you are able to enjoy the pretty pictures mother nature has painted for you today...smile.

Jacki,sounds like you know what's going on. Is your depression and anger less longer than they used to be ? I have noticed mine's are.
Girl,sometimes we have to hang on to that bucking horse and ride it out. Sounds as though you are very much in touch with yourself.
I remember when I used to get upset,and eat myself into oblivian,even if I had to create the chaos.OA took that relationship with food away from me long before WLS.
I lost over 100 pounds in OA,but per usual,I gained that weight back plus more.As a matter of fact,everytime I dieted,I gained more back than I was before the "diet". This would be funny,if it were not so damn true.
I do not know who this quote,"You can never go home again",but to me it means I can not ever go back to the crappy,self sabotage head space I used to live in.
I'll wager you can't either,as you have grown so far from it,the anger,the depression,the choice of bad food rather than healthy choices,that it is now the exception,rather than the norm.
Good for you Jacki,for you too are a warrior,and you will get out of your own way.
You "will not go gently into the night" (Dylan Thomas),I believe.
Well done!!

At the support group we talked about our daily menus. One thing is clear, no two people are the same. Each person can or can't eat the same food, each person will or won't eat the same food, we are all so different.
Those facts puzzled the newbies. They want to know how to eat after WLS yet all we could tell them was "you will LEARN what agrees with your pouch and what works for you".
Most were concerned that my daily menu is boring.To me it is not boring, it just suits me.
B- blueberries, cottage cheese, Kashi
L - salad & deli ham
D- green beans & the steak I didn't want last night
S - apple & peanut butter
Kisses

Annette,
Newbies often post on the band forum questions like: What foods can I eat after I'm banded, or What foods can you no longer eat?
My response is always something along the lines of: it's different for everybody at different points in their WLS journey and you'll have to experiment to find out what works for you. I don't tell them what my problem foods are any more. For one thing, it keeps changing!

Hiya sis,as usual,you are so right!! I go in cycles,when the Fangster (pouch) gets irritable,or I am running low of appetite.my food is quite simple. My staples are protein drinks (medical strength soy),cottage cheese,which I LOVE,cheese sticks (low fat mozzarella),meat balls,which I have not had in awhile,and yogurt (10 mg protein Carb Master), I know you switched your yogurt and said how good it was,'though a little more expensive. If I eat Carb Master without anything added,I consider it a liquid.
I am blessed to live in a place where there is always fresh fruit from somewhere.
These days,I am into not cooking,yet I am into eating healthy, we are over 100 degrees here now everyday. Fry's is selling cantalope for 99 cents EACH! I see a lovely plate of thinly sliced cantalope,a huge dallop of cottage cheese in the middle,surrounded by huge strawberries,quartered,so big that I will only use 3.
I came here to lose weight,I stay because of the wonderful people here,most of them are so willing to give anyone and everyone a helping hand.
This IS my support group.....smile.
I'll see you guys later,as I must rest,I have been up all night.Love ya sis,and Connie is on my mind. My PM's just came back up! It has been days. Anyone who messaged me,I am so sorry I will answer them after I rest.

Good morning to you, sweet one! I have missed you so much. I am glad to be home.
Things here are what they are and that isn't really good right now. I have a gaping hole in my stomach and I am not a happy camper at all. I am miserable but I just keep thinking that God never gives me more that He an I can handle and that this too shall pass. I just want it to pass faster than it is going!
Food is just food right now. I struggle at times to eat something since nothing much sounds good to me. When I eat it doesn't always taste that good either. Personally I think most of the problem is the infection that I think isn't going away. I am on a super anti biotic and have been for over a week and it just isn't making me feel better at all.
B: an egg I think
L: not sure of this one
D: fish and veggies
S: nothing
I am struggling to get the protein and the water in. I have to drink a lot of water with this awful anti biotic so I struggle with that....but I am working on both of those things. Getting better one day at a time.
I love you and I am sending you love and hugs along with prayers for you and yours. I hope that things are going well and what is going on with the knee surgery?

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Brenda,I am so very very sorry you are going through this! I was whiney with one drainage tube years ago when I had my gall bladder removed,it was over 20 years ago and barbaric,they cut me like they would gut a fish,then the doctor did not sew it up as he was afraid of infection,so he let it "knit" itself closed,I was very heavy then,and medical science was not what it is now,and I was jaundiced by the time they found out what was going on.
To this day,the area at my waist can become irritated and raw even from wearing jeans,if they rub against it. When I had my WLS,that area became irritated,sort of got raw again,after all this time!
This is hard for you Brenda,you are strong and will get through it,but it sucks,
I will get my surgery date next week...smile. All is well in my soul.
Bren,please eat some yogurt,the antibiotics can give you a yeast infection.
Remember I am home if you need to talk, baby girl.
Hugs and deep prayers,you are so sweet and kind to so many.
God will carry you through this,and next year you will celebrate your birthday with a nice flat belly,well,your belly AND friends and family,just you and your belly would be weird..
