Weeeelllllll! I'm Back.....
I had my three year check up with my Bariatric guy yesterday and it was NOT GOOD! [my husband insisted on going in to see him with me]
I have gained 34 pounds since my lowest point! ...my blood sugars are elevated, my
A1C is elevated, my B-12 and my iron are low, apparently my body is leaching calcium from my bones because I don't take my calcium supplement etc....I am BAD to the BONE!!....and I am up to drinking 2 BOTTLES of wine a day. And I keep vomiting up when I eat a little too much food.
I drink the initial wine to keep the pain from happening in my pouch.....and then I like it ,so I keep on drinking....and now my liver enzymes are up and probably my Diabetes is back...
He said I was injesting1400 calories a day with my wine intake and it was bad for my liver and my insulin. control. No wonder I have gained 34 pounds in the last year.
He says NO MORE WINE....so I will probably quit all wine except for social occassions....who does everything their doctor says?...obviously not me.
I have also resolved to come back here where I had all my support.....he wanted me to go to counseling...I said "no"....he wanted me to go back to a support group....I said "no"....so here I am asking to be taken back into the fold. This is the only place it works for me.
I have also talked with my husband and told him I want NO NEGATIVITY from him and I will do this in my own way and I don't need him as a watchdog. I told him if you really want to help me you can be my "Pharmacist" and make sure that I get all of my nutrients every day. He agreed.
And since I have been vomiting so much ....I have to have a endoscopic exam, they wanted to do it tomorrow, but I am too busy, so I told him next week. He thinks they may need to stretch my pouch some.....[wine doesn't take up much room,just gives you lots of calories]
So you see what a mess I have become without you.....May I come back?
Love, Marti

Well, you know sometimes you think you can handle much more than you actually can....and you make a fool of yourself.....and all the people that stayed faithful to the site....are doing so much better, because this site keeps you honest about what you are doing and who you are.
I feel the least I could do is ask permission to ask for all their help again. I love the people on this site and always have......and I feel so disappointed in myself, it is g oing to take time to change my habits again....and I know that while everyone is welcome, it doesn't hurt to ask forgiveness of the faithful.

Marti, i have thought of you often. I wasn been wondering when you would be back. Your such an inspiration to me. You can do it, just pick yourself up and dust your butt off.....
Make sure you give hubby a list of all your supplements you HAVE to take....
Proud of you g/f.....

Ah Darlene....my own personal wealth of knowledge....I think of you and especially each time I hear Santana and ZUMBA!....have felt guilty [goodness can you tell I am Catholic, lots of guilt available here] about not e-mailing you about your divorce and the aftermath....But I know you are a resillient person by nature and don't we have to keep re-inventing ourselves as we age and get new obstacles thrown in our paths. Thanks for the note sweetie.
Love, Marti

Marti:
You were never "gone" ... although we wondered why you didn't check in ... but yes, you may "come back." Of course, all are welcome.
Why do you think I stick around ... I'd gain it all back, too. I don't go to a support group because I work nights, and all the support groups are at night (and the support groups here were all "lectures" and not really support, at least when I was going). I still going to therapy; I probably always will because I know I have issues that I have to address.
Marti, we are always here for you. Don't be a stranger.

Oh, dear Marti........how happy I am to see you!! I HEAR your frustration and so understand and share some of what you are going through with alcohol. It got away from me, and now I'm off entirely again, too. Depression is what started me off....and I'm dealing with that now in a healthy way, and not with alcohol any longer.
So glad you are back. We DO go through our ups and downs in here.....and I've decided I can't just come in when all is hunky dorey....but must share the crappola , too.
You were missed!!
With so much aloha,
Karen
