Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Okay, Hi everyone I am Bobbi. I had open gastric bypass surgery December 7, 1998 and I was 460lbs. I was doing wonderful! By December of 2000 I had lost 200 lbs down to 260. I slowly started losing less and less but was still losing. My doctor teased me and was horrible to me telling me I didnt want to try anymore. I was and am an emotional eater and that hurt so bad I tried to commit suicide. Two very dear friends happened to drop by that night and found me and saved my life. Then my long distance boyfriend who knew me before the surgery and then after decided to move in with me all the way from louisiana to Idaho. He moved in with me April of 2002. Since he moved in with me though I have been totally eating all the wrong things at all the wrong times of day and in April I was 202 lbs now I am 295lbs again! I have turned to food to solve my problems again and I am so desperate to get back on track. I need so much help and cant turn to my doctor anymore. His nurse tries to call me because she thought he was out of line and she still believes I am a good person with good intentions and I really am. I dont want to creep back up to the 460lbs and I was down to a size 14 and now I am back to a size 20/22. Please someone lead me in the right direction. When I had the surgery he even sliced me open pretty big and then when I got out of the hospital he didnt schedule a visit with me for three months and no nutritionist no help with my meal plans nothing! I did well my first month lost 50lbs eating tuna and cottage cheese every meal 5 little meals of a little less than two ounces. Now I eat WAY bigger portions than I know I should and I am so desperate. My boyfriend (now fiance) went back home for a month to work in place of his mom while she has surgery on her wrists so he is gone right now and I am alone and having those thoughts of ending it all. He wants to get married in March and a few days ago I thought it would be fun to try to find a wedding dress I could set a goal for and the lady in the store came up to me and said " we only carry sizes up to a 16 " before I had a chance to even look. I was hoping to find something to set a goal for and a size 16 was a pretty good goal anyway but I ran out of the store to my car and sobbed. Can someone please help me get back on track. Even my family and I arent talking over the last year since I have been gaining weight they all call me a failure. Thanks for listening.
