Hi, I can understand your frustration. You must remember to put yourself first. Most kids just don't have the support to give especially at the start of this journey. This journey takes a mind shift. It is going to take a daily fight with yourself to get your goals. Don't set yourself up to have to fight with them too! This is a great place for support and other sights. Sometimes we have to learn to be selfish. This is your body and health. Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I agree with both previous posts! I am so sorry you are going through this right now; especially by family! That’s why I didn’t tell my parents or brothers...I know exactly how they would act. Thankfully my children understand, and have been helpful and encouraging! (My oldest 2 are in their 20’s though) It will be a transition for everyone. I hope their attitude changes soon for you! Maybe try talking to them again, and share your feelings. No matter what, focus all the more..this is for you! (((Hugs)))

I'm post op 2weeks and finally weighed in this week and lost only 1 pound. How can that be?? I'm still on liquid diet and have 480 calories a day! I drink 40 oz of water a day also!!! Wth ? Sent from my Moto Z3 Play using BariatricPal mobile app

From what I understand my dr only submitted my initial weight and my last visit weight. I’d check with your surgeons office. If it’s the same for you it will set your mind at ease to know a little fluctuation is not going to derail you as long as that final weigh in is at or under goal

I never watched it because I just felt bad for them, but I know Jillian Michaels left the show because she thought that those people losing that much weight in such a short period of time (without WLS) was very unhealthy and obviously one of the reasons for their rebound weight gain. She spoke out against the show later on.

Taking vitamins is not really an issue. I take one in the morning and one at night and that really isn’t a biggie. Also remember that not everyone dumps and if you do there are alternatives. I haven’t tried normal icecream since my surgery but I do eat Halo top and that is yummy. If I go out for dinner I will have a couple of mouthfuls of hubby’s dessert and that satisfies me and doesn’t cause an issue.

Lol!!!! I get all upset but I don't throw stuff. Haven't got to that point [emoji23] (yet) Sent from my LM-V405 using BariatricPal mobile app

Central Ohio, Mount Vernon to be exact, surgery was at OSU in Columbus. At least 5-6 Buckeyes active,maybe more. We are Midwesterners, the Salt if the Earth!

Oh my gosh! You want me to tell them I cheated? Guess I better, huhL I won’t eat anymore solids, promise!!! I’m pretty sure that between everything solid that I’ve had it measures up to 1 full meal. Not that I’m making excuses, but just wanted you to know.

I recently had the gastric bypass and I’ve noticed that I have bump over my large incision. Is this where they put my separated stomach? Anyone else experience this?
