I feel bad for obese people now every time I see them. I had a lapband in 11/08 and just last week had a new one put in due to a prolapse. Everytime I see overweight people I want to go up to to them and tell them to look into WLS.
I had wls to lose 250 pounds, and now I have regained 40 of it. I am slowly going back to extreme binge behaviors. I start each day with clean eating but by 10 am, I have devoured 4-5 frozen dinners, bread, god knows what else.
For 5 years I didn't eat sugar or fried foods, now I am eating them again. I cannot get full. I have no restriction. I want to die. I am so ashamed.
Most of all, I am so hungry. I cannot get full no matter what I try. I am constantly ravenous. And constantly ashamed. I have lost my ability to cope.
