Positive Things at 4 AM I am warm I am safe and loved I have the freedom to be what I can want to be, even when it seems difficult Although I am having gastrointestinal difficulties, until they resolve I can receive my nourishment through my PICC line and TPN I haven't thrown up since yesterday so today can be a better day So no matter how this Saturday in. December finds me, I am still alive and grateful to Ohio State University, Bradley J Needleman MD and Bariatric Medicine for a future. And I am grateful to my RnY surgery, even with its flaws , it has been my third best tool, behind commitment & Belief in ME for success out of sorrow! SO I AM TRULY A VERY BLESSED 73 YEAR PERSON WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE!😛❤🍀

Yes! Best decision ever made and allowed me to make changes to live healthier. It was a year yesterday and I am eternally grateful to have made the decision and continue to follow what I need to

Dr. Noyan is the most compassionate person I have ever met, he keeps it very real. Love this man, he took care of me.

Ok I'm gettin up early in the morning!!!

Good Luck! Start tracking your intake. Dont just assume the gain is from the meds. You still have to intake more than you expell to gain. The meds arent going to automatically add the extra weight. It may cause you to eat more to cause the gain, or retain water.. but evaluate what is actually causing the gain and address that. Maybe you need to drink more water to rid your body of more toxins ... Good Luck!

So, clearly I've made my decision. Which is the total opposite direction I thought it would be. I got off FB (short-term), except for my one bypass support group. And I removed the app from my home screen and in its place I put my Baritastic App. The thing is, this new lifestyle IS my life. At least for now. There is no shame in dedicating my time to it. To talking to those in similar positions as me. And I need to learn to stop comparing myself to others... not shy away from the exposure.

Yup yup. I feel like i'm hitting more stalls now trying to lose this regain than when i lost it the first time Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I found categorizing helps distract me when I am anxious. Like I pick a color and name every single thing I can think of that is that color. It stopped a lot of panic attacks from ever happening. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have no advice because this is a huge issue for me too. I was sleeved 8/15. I get so frustrated going out to dinner and only having a couple bites and no alcohol, then just sit there forever while everyone else finishes eating. I hate it. It makes be very angry.

No, I didn't have my phone with me. But my hands are so shaky the pics would have been a blur anyway ☹️
