Had overstitch revision to my rny

Sep 28, 2016

Had my Apollo overstitch on Sept. 7th. Due to unforseen complications I spent a week in the hospital with  NPO on a TPN through a Picc line. It was pure HELL!  I'm down 27pds in a week on clear liquids and it went ok. Now I'm cleared for soft and pureed foods, my will power is faltering.  Trouble with my kid, feeling alone, and without my regular go to (food) I'm feeling stuck again. I so don't want to self sabotage all I've been through but I literally have no energy or wherewithal to control my emotions. Any suggestions are appreciated.  I know I'm not alone in these feelings. God bless

So ready to give up the fight. Tired of being TIRED

Oct 08, 2015

I have tried everything and I can't lose weight.  I had rny

 Halloween of 2013. Sw was 420. Lw was 318: after my surgeon performed a panniculectomy and removed 20 lbs from my abdomen and pannus.  Through all the pain and healing and tears I have reverted back to using food for 'comfort'.  I'm seeing a therapist but it's not helping. I NEVER got dumping so I can literally eat like I did before the rny.  They won't give me a revision and I'm just so done.  I have no true support system and and dealing with the life changing fact that my child recently came out as transgendered.  I am grieving my child that I raised and doing it alone: all of my immediate family is deceased and the pressure is just manifesting itself in my over eating and eating all the wrong things.  I don't know what steps to take next or even if I should try. I'm back to over 350 lbs and my body aches constantly.   My knees and the reprieve from pain in my hips is gone. I don't even get out of bed most days.  This isn't living.  Any suggestions or anyone who can relate and have been down this road, pls help me.  I'm just so done

Found out yesterday thati will not be having my gastric bypass surgery until my oncologist clears me....I have to have radioactive iodine treatment and basically will be radioactive for 5 days in seclusion!....how much more can a person take?! I'm truly depressed and at my wits end.....I have zero energy level since having my thyroid out and now found out as a result of that surgery I have a paralyzed vocal cord....I'm at the point now where I want to eat myself into oblivion because I see no help in my future....tired of being tired and doing it ALONE
