Still hungry...

I lost 4 more lbs...27 lbs lost so far...only 83 lbs to go to hit my goal weight!

I started back to work on Monday and it was exhausting. But I'm getting back into the routine and the swing of things. I have been getting up (past 2 days) at 5:00 am to walk on the treadmill...it's the only time of day that I actually have time to do it; which means I've been going to bed at 9:00 pm each night! I've been sleeping better the past few days so that's a good thing!

My hunger has not subsided with going back to work; I thought it might since I would be busier than I was while at home and wouldn't have as much time to focus on food. I called the Dr. yesterday and asked I could take an appetite suppresant. The nurse said it won't hurt my pouch but they don't recommend it; I asked why; she said "because the are not a diet clinic". I will have to talk to my Internist and see if she will prescribe something for me. In the meantime I found some appetite suppressants I had from when I was doing the MD Diet weight loss thing so I am taking those to help curb my hunger.

I'm pretty disappointed that after taking out a loan and paying $17,000 for surgery, it's not suppressing my appetite like it does for most patients. I've been told that that can change but the fact that I started feeling VERY hungry 10 days after surgery is devestating to me...to say the least! I do feel "satisfied" when I eat but I'm hungry 30 minutes later! I don't know what to do! I've been through all the "reasons" (head hunger, old habits, etc.) but I have tried everything that has been suggested and I still feel hungry!

BUT...inspite of the trials, I WILL make this work for me! I choose this path and I now have the tools to reach my goal!

I found out today that a friend of mine had a Tummy Tuck 2 months ago and I had no idea! She sent me "before and after" photos and I can not wait to have a tummy tuck too!

YOUR LIFE IS NOW...live in the moment!
