group hugggggs thank you for all your kind thoughts☺️

@summerset sorry bud - what does that mean?? kathy

You might remember my wonderful 15 year young grandson died in a tragic accident January 3rd. My 88 year old mom died 7 weeks later!! (quality of life?) 15 vs 88? what's wrong with this picture? mourning forever - but life must/does continue- Kathy

sorry bud, can't find what you wrote that i was referring too!! my goof? but i'm sure it was a doozy if you wrote it - now that i have your attention LOL - you are doing great keep up the good job kathy

Repeating to all Never, ever, ever, ever compare yourself to others we're all different in life in general - losing weight, how long it takes, how much weight you lose. don't beat yourself up about anything, things will happen in their own time - and you'll do great God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About It? good luck to all kathy

@iyanam OMG - Thursday countdown.... greatest journey of your life is in front on you - be prepared for ups and downs, trials and tribulations - but i know things will work out for you in the end good luck speedy recovery kathy

@froufrou"u can help others" @majnoah my mouth is drooling after reading about the above foods. LOL If my DH was eating and sneaking the above - i would be furious too DH saying "OH Well" your emotions are just heightened right now". I've heard this from OP on an occasion - but in your case not applicable - he is putting his prob on you, putting it all on you. he was "good" in the past - past is behind him and you & me - hopefully he will do well in the future with his eating - butttt he should not eat bad foods at any time - whether he has surgery or not, he shouldn't throw temptation in your face. good luck on your journey kathy

thanx for update - 100 lbs down, great transformation/pic "show" yourself more enough. We're all nice peeps - especially me!!? keep UP the good work while your work goes DOWN kathy congrats

Dear Auntie Gigi? i've always preferred red over gray.!! great transformation/pic☺️ sorry about vomiting, nauseous problems with stomach etc. i don't think taking a vitamin has anything to do with a "cure" talk to your NUT again! feel better soon. kathy congrats

@Sullie06 stop kicking yourself (you'll get black & blue!) you are doing everything correctly to get back on track. kudos for realizing you are in trouble - stopping before 10 lbs turns into 20, 30 etc logging everything you eat, counting calories, eating less, exercising, seeking support groups et al you must STOP eating incorrectly - go back to the olden days of smaller portions, less calories etc knowing the problem is half the solution,☺️ congrats on reaching GOAL earlier - i know you will get back their again!! good luck kathy

@Mema-to4 welcome to the board i had my WLS (sleeve) when i was 57 years OLD, (one month shy of my b'day_ (fabulous fifties) Now i am 65 years young - fluctuating/maintaining/ups and downs - mainly resting at GOAL I hope you love/appreciate your sleeve as much as i do - good luck kathy

@Laura7 reading, enjoying ,catching up with your story. one of my first NSV's was wrapping a bath towel around me. i wasn't expecting the towel to fit alllllllll the way around me, but it did!! One of many NSV's for you to look forward to. kathy keep up the great job congrats

@FluffyChix hey bud you made it to the "winners" bench!! your head is probably swollen from all the nice things OP have said! keep up the great job - your journey is just beginning☺️ you are aces kathy

@Harborgurl i feel your pain? IV's are terrible!! (i have teeny weeny veins!) hopefully the worst is behind you, enjoy your new bypass speedy recovery good luck kathy

@Wanda247 "your the only one LOL" such a wise guy!!, but i guess you might be right!! yes we've lost our insulation - you at 30 lbs - i lost 105 lbs! never been cold from WLS. am i a freak that i don't feel cold PO? (hmmmm anyone be careful if you respond!) i saved money - i didn't have to buy long johns!! buy an electric blanket, - its as warm as you? good luck kathy

@WLS4ME33 ?? I many/most of have tried WW, Nutri system, etc. pre-op i tried, tried and tried - lose, gain etc i heard some OP do it PO too continued good luck on your journey. kathy

@Avery's Mom great NSV 86 lbs down - amazing!! you are aces!!!☺️ keep UP the good job, while the lbs go DOWN kathy

@BrighterSide as OP have sad, "they" use to be hot (me too) now PO they are cold, lack of insulation makes total sense about feeling cold. what i never understood - is how OP say they are cold immediately PO? am i the only one that never felt cold after surgery?? weird!! kathy

@Boldilocks wow, that's great - many OP have trouble drinking water. in my case i was told not to gulp for awhile (don't remember how long) double check with your NUT/doc, about "gulping", see what they say about drinking a few aches and pains, here and there do happen to some. I agree with OP that not giving you strong drugs was crazy!! (i'd like to see dr as a patient in pain, being told that he couldn't have more meds!) you deserve a hugeeeee pat on your back for standing up for yourself, having the WLS despite what husbands thoughts might have been. Kudos glad/surprised that hubby has been understanding and supportive. you are going through a specially hard time PO. Hope he will continue to change his tune. But i agree to be wary - whatever time period he is helpful, be grateful!! good luck with your new sleeve kathy good luck

@Lolo 2020 hey bud ahhhhh onderland - i've been waiting for you - keep up the good work - you are on the road to success☺️ good luck kathy
