Honest thoughts!
Jun 19, 2009
I had a friend's husband stop in yesterday to pick up their son, who was visiting my son...anyway he didn't know about my surgery and hadn't seen me in about a year. He kept staring at me and said ok, what is different about you. You look so different. My neighbor girl said "she got her hair cut off". He said yeah, but that wasn't it. I told him I lost 72 lbs! He said yep, thats it! He said I looked great and asked how I did it. I told him I had the surgery. He told me he had an aunt that had it and lost a bunch of weight but gained it all back plus a lot more.I did not want to hear that! I have been worried anyway! I know that there are people out there that have had the surgery and have food addictions and other problems that can keep their weight off! I am so worried I will be one of those people that don't keep it off. I wake up every day and expect my new clothes to be too tight. I Expect the scale to move upward instead of down. I have failed so miserably in the past. I'm really worried.
I am back in counseling and I'm going to get help so that I can change the parts of me that need changing, that the surgery didn't change. (My HEAD) I am 6 months out and I need to make sure I don't back slide. I'm going to continue to be on OH daily and get the support I need here and also be an example to others.
