Re: 1 Year Anniversay - I'm such a failure.

I hate that I sounded like such a downer last night. It was a rough day.

My surgeon told me it is normal to not be able to eat in the morning, that's why most people just have a shake. He said that overnight our organs swell and some people's organs take longer to go down. I have to sip liquids until around 11am - but I don't get up until around 9am. The problem with that is that I am forced to eat later in the day. I also work 2pm-11pm, which means I'm already eating later. This is when I really stopped losing weight. Where I'm confused about needing another fill is later in the day I can eat so much more. I have also recently been able to eat bread and cereal again, which were things I couldn't eat months ago when I was losing weight. Here's a duh moment - I still don't have to eat them!

The good thing is that I haven't started gaining. It is frustrating because I haven't lost in about 5 months (well, no more than 5 lbs.).

You guys are great. I haven't been on here for awhile and I could kick myself. I don't get much support so any support from my peers truly lifts me up.
