 |  obssesive question?
hahaha so i am going to be reaching my 2 yrs post op date and i was REALLY thinking that i would meet my goal by then...im kinda sad about that. ...for those that dont know me, i do tattoos as a hobby, and i have a room at home designated for that, well 2 weeks ago i decided that i would retire that hobby and take on a new one. EXCERCISE...so i got a HUGE treadmill, new stationary bike, one of those big ass ball things, weight set and a new tae bo dvd (which kicks my ass everytime)...and now i feel like i am obsessed with working out and im afraid that it will become an issue....i also have a gym membership.....i weigh every day and get so sad when a lb or two goes up and then eventually back down...i just dont want to sabotage this, like i do to most things.....is it wrong that i feel this way....i am down to 222 from 451 and i know that is a major accomplishment, of course with the help of my tools. but i am STILL told that i cheated.....WTF ever.....right? i dont care what people say, but i do think that once a person has had this WLS the addiction is usually directed somewhere else.....but this is maybe not a bad one....i am also having obsessive issues with going No. 2 (sory TMI)...i take stool softners twice a day to make sure that i am having BM, cuz in my mind if i dont i WILL gain weight.....help me....please...not sure where to go with all of this...and the DH doesnt really help with ANYTHING in the psych dept......

I wish I had answers for you that might help.I do know though that through your posts you have came a long way and you are going to continue to do so  Have you considered talking to your surgeon about a revision?I will tell you a little about me though and addiction,I am and will always be a food addict,but since my surgery I transferred my love of food to smoking and drinking and I beat myself up daily for it.As far as the stool softeners I know they can become addicting,my aunt suffers the affects from past yrs. of using them daily.I wish you luck and hope you find the answers to the questions you seek.You have done fantastic throughout your journey
((((hugs))))

Nothing in excess can be good for us. Addiction is a terrible thing and it's going to take everything in us to not go there again.
I have such an addictive personality I obsess about that every day. I still have left over pain meds from my surgery; sometimes I take them to sleep. I have leftover anti-anxiety meds from when my dad died; sometimes I take them to sleep. I quit smoking almost 4 years ago when my dad died and swore I would NEVER smoke again. So far I haven't.....but...I sometimes rationalize starting again.
Do your best to keep these demons under control, if you can't maybe someone else (professional) can help.
You have lost an amazing amount of weight and should be so proud of yourself. You've recognized you may have an issue with this and that's good! Think about what you need to do to keep healthy and remember you've worked hard; this was NOT an easy way out. You deserve the best!

It's actually totally normal to go throug those thoughts initially. If it continues, and starts becoming an issue that interferes with your daily life, it might help you if you talked to a therapist.

No, you don't need a revision. Don't worry about that. Losing over 200lbs in less than two years is major accomplishment. I think, so long as you stick to the pouch rules, you will lose some more even past the 2 year mark. It's just that it's going to be at a much slower rate than before.

First let me say that I love your wedding pix would love to see more of them. I love your tats and am sad your not doing them anymore  but glad you have taken up exercise. Hang in there and as dr said follow the rules. I noticed the other day I could really eat much more if I let myself and I have overeaten a few times. But I am staying away from the foods that I know are not good for me. I am trying my best to make good choices. I do stay away from sugar and most fried foods. I do at times on special events have fried but not very often. I dont drink with my meals either. Oh and I do have to take two stool softners daily and sometimes that does not help me. I am very often constipated bad. Hang in there.
