Hey girl! Do not let yourself get down. Which surgery did you have? Sounds like a therapist is needed to build up your self esteem and learn how to ignore or block out all the negativity. I find that drinking a CHOCOLATE protein shake really eases my hunger and be sure you are drinking 48 to 64 ounces of clear uncarnonated drinks like Crystal light to keep your tummy full. Hang in there. I get my protein shakes from Amazon. They are called premier protein shakes. Yummy!Thank you so much all of you. I really appreciate it. I guess I just expected my immediate family to understand, but I was very mistaken. I’m divorced with a dog and have a couple close friends...but that’s about it. At least I have two friends who are very supportive. I unfortunately am very social and need to talk about things to people, so I’ve ended up going to three different support groups for various things, one being bariatric. I just feel like I’m surrounded by negativity so much because i have to be around my parents because they watch my dog because she has some serious anxiety issues and she’s really comfortable with them and they love her. But I get emotionally jabbed at by my mother constantly, my brother won’t talk to me...all because of my choices I’ve made to better myself and I find that pretty pathetic. I go to a therapist weekly, thankfully she’s helping me a lot but making me realize I have a lot of self confidence issues, while a support group is making me realize I’m trying to control everyone’s life, making it impossible to control my own, let alone make it enjoyable. So much to work on....gah!
