I have been missing in action for the last two days because I was riding an unbelievable migraine headache. When I woke up this morning and saw the sun I was grateful that I hadn't died. ....but then I remembered all of the food I ate in the last two days (I am ravenous when I get migraines) and wished I had died!!! I will not even contemplate stepping on the scale until next Saturday!!!! I'm very sorry for missing the on line support group:( Mostly because I get inspiration when I talk to people who are going through the same things I am. I hope everybody had a wonderful weekend and that y'all have a terrific week of losing weight. I will sit here envious of you who have had the surgery and are no longer bothered by the urge to consume large amounts of food when you are ill. Take care

I stepped on the scale this morning thinking I might have gained a couple of ounces because I ate ice cream yesterday and i was totally prepared for the depressing feeling but what to my wondering eyes should appear???? I had actually lost 3 pounds!!!!!!!!! Holy Crap!!! I am so excited!!! This will be a great day today!!!! I hate that I let the scale control my mood but with so much riding on my pre-op weight loss it is really difficult not to. Happy Day!!!

I finally decided to file a complaint with my insurance company about the pre-op weight loss requirement. I am fed up with literally starving myself to lose weight just to get on the waiting list for surgery!!! If I could lose it on my own why in the name of all that is holy would I be considering surgery?!?!?!?!?! Idiots!!!! I e-mailed my Dr. and Kaiser and hopefully I didn't just cremate my chance of having the surgery altogether. They have all the power to control my life!!! I have no hope left at all. Each day I step on the scale is a vivid reminder of why I am overweight right now. I can't do it on  my own!!!!!

I am sick and tired of trying to lose weight on my own!!! The only reason I even went into this program is because I need help. I don't EVER ask for help unless I have exhausted all of my own resources. These doctors have no compassion for people who need this surgery. Not people who want it and can afford to get it done without insurance.... the people who need this surgery are treated unkindly and told flippantly to lose weight before you can have the surgery. if I could do it on my own why in the name of all that is holy would I go through all of this crap with the doctors, psychologists, nutritionists and coordinators? My body won't let me lose weight!!!! My stomach sabotages any chance I have of losing weight and getting the surgery.

I m going to try and hold off with weighing each day. I am going to try and weigh in on each Saturday.

I did so well today and I'm not hungry at all!!! I am going to try and eat close to 1000 calories so that my stupid body will quit thinking I'm starving. That's the only thing I can think of to help me start losing weight again because I'm doing everything else but having no luck!

So I gained back a pound and a half in one day because I fell off the wagon. It's my own damn fault!!! I'm going to be good from now on but it will be difficult because I have to lose so much weight on my own!!!!! It is stressful knowing that I am the only one standing in my way!!!! I really hate this part of the process!!!!!!!

I am seriously pissed off at the scale today!!!!! I have been the same weight for 5 days now and I am SICK of it. So to show that stupid scale exactly what I thought about it's stupidity I ate until it hurt!!!!! I am happy to say that the scale is very sorry and will try to do better on Saturday when I am brave enough to weigh in again!!! Don't mess with me...... I'm on a diet!!!

I am trying desperately to lose 25 pounds so I can be cleared for WLS through RNY. I have lost 9 pounds so far and am at a plateau already. I was looking for information on how to overcome this problem and turned to our own members for advice. This link is to a website that helps people who have already had WLS rediscover their post-op feeling of fullness but it can apply to anyone anywhere along the journey I think.
