thank u. You are right. I'm trying but it's so hard. I'm more depressed now that I gotten in my size 10's and now Im pushing out of my 12's. I deal with depression anyway and anxiety. ugghhhh it sucks

I did so well and it's been a year and half and I've gained twenty pds. The emotional eating has not changed. Can I stretch my stomache or have I already?

I'm 12 weeks out and I still don't have any energy... Why? I get light headed if I lean down or move too fast... I haven't been exercising... Is that why? I'm confused. I go get my blood work tomorrow. Anybody experienced this or is everyone have a lot of energy?

HI I saw what u said about being up and down. You mean your weight is up and down? It will get better I promise. I went through hell the first month. I cried all the time and I regreted that I did it. I'm 11 weeks out and I can eat what I want, just get full and I've lost 48pds. Hang in there.

HI,, I am 11 weeks out now. I didn't have that but I will tell you that for the first month was the hardest thing ever. Getting used to eating hardly nothing and all the water and protein. I was an emotional wreck and I was even regretting it. I can tell you I'm down 48 pounds, gone from a size 18 to a 14 and I can eat pretty much whatever I want, I just get full faster. It will get better each day I promise. Get up and walk as much as you can, that will get rid of the gas.

I have to carry a water bottle everywhere I go. And the dag protien.... I don't mind the vitamins. the protein and water is hard to get in everyday. Anybody know if stalling is normal? I was losing like crazy and not I've stopped for the past week. I haven't really changed anything.

OMG I can't stand people sometimes. I went through the same thing... You know what I discovered, is the people that had neg things to say was people that had their own weight issues. They don't want to see you get thin and beautiful. You will find out who your true friends are in the long run. You know You..... You know how long you have struggled with your weight and how hard it must have been or you wouldn't be in this boat. It's not that dam simple to just eat soft foods and drink protein shakes for a year without surgery. The surgery forces you to eat right or u will get sick. Some of us need an extra tool. Do this for yourself and your health down the road. The hell with what anyone says. You have to carry around the extra pounds or end up dead from being over wieght. Sorry but it's true. It bothered me too, but now that I'm one month out and 27 pounds lighter, I don't care what anyone thinks. It's all about YOU>>>>>>

I am two weeks out and the first week all I did was cry...I was used to eating whatever and whenever I wanted and now I have to plan my meals and blend my food and eat stuff I'm sick of eating. I'm already tired of the dam protein shakes and the jello and soft foods. It bothers me everyday and makes me wonder if this was the right decison. I'm like you, I know I would have continued to eat and end up bigger than I was, but I't s not easy. You are not alone trust me.

Congrads, and reading yours helps me. I'm two weeks and two days out now. The first week sucked. My incisions look great and I've lost 23 pounds. I"m still a little sore, but I'm starting to lay on my side in bed. I went back to work today. It's not physical. I'm still not at the point that I can actually say," I'm so glad I did this." Do you feel that way?

I am one week and one day out and I'm still hungry. I just ate one egg with a little cheese and I feel like I haven't eaten in days. I thought I was suposed to feel full after a meal? Somebody tell me this is normal, cuz I'm starting to wonder if he even took part of my stomache out. lol

Can't help ya with the smoking thing, but the phys just wanted to make sure that I knew what I was doing, if I delt with depression or have an eating disorder. I told her I have delt with depression and even took pills, that still didn't seem to stop anything. I'm going in for my surgery tomorrow the 28th and I'm sooo nervous. I've been waiting for two years battles and now it's here, I'm scared. Good Luck to u
