It is normal. I did the same thing my first week. 3months 3 weeks out I no longer obsese over food. I eat to make my body function. Other wise I would not eat. I went from 261 to 210 and I don't regret it one bit.

I was sleeved April 10th. Starting weight 261 and now 210. I work at a doctors office and everyone knows about my surg. Since I am the practice administer I don't get rude comments to my face, but I am sure the fat jokes exist. Don't really care. I love the new me and I love the fact that I can live a longer active healthy life for my husband and children. Work it just that "work". I don't tend to have personal relationships with the staff and they are clear on that issue. Sadly the only person in my family that knows is my husband and sister. I did not tell the kids because I did not want to worry them. They have noticed the wieght loss and also commented on me being more active. You do what make u happy and that is what matters the most.

I am in south Irving and would love a work out partner.

Look great!!!

U look great!

I did not cheat. I was self pay and scared to death he would open me up and not complete the surg. Can't afford the risk.

I was self pay no nut doctor. The nutrition session was a group session for me. Just watch a video and sampled pre- op shakes and of course asked questions. Pam is her name and she was nice but in a group session some people just ask the stupidest things. Also she shows u an example of the sleeve size and you get to feel what the staples feel like. Good experience for me. The nut part is helpful and I did not understand that until after surgery....I could have used a couple of nut sessions to get me prepared for the first month. I stared off into space with a blank stare for at least two weeks. Good luck to u!

I have been a big girl since @ least 2000. After getting pregnant with nine year old it all went to hell from there. Once when she was three we were taking a bath together and she said mommy we are mermaids but ur the fat mermaid. A three year old tells it like it is. As a administrator for a Family Practice office I new I would never advance in my career if I was fat and yes it is against the law, but it happens everyday. Sad part is I used to be the girl in high school that made fun of fat people and swore I would never be fat. I hurt a lot of feelings and have prayed for forgiveness daily, but good ole KARMA bit in the ass and I too became this huge fat person. My teen age son was teased by friends with the your momma so fat jokes and i was devasted for him. My breaking point was my boss ( a doctor ) making fun of me. I was tired of being the fat boss and the room going silent when I walked in and at least now when the room goes silent it is because I am the boss not the huge fat boss. I graduate May 10, 2012 with my MBA but knew no one would ever hire me being a lard ass so I had surg April 10th and have never looked back.

I also had my surg at Forest Park in Dallas. My doctor was Dr.Kim. It was a wonderful place and they will take care of u. I started my prayers from the moment I put the gown on until they knocked me out. Woke up thinking it was all a dream. I live here in the area and if u need company or anything let me know. I had a great support team and you should to. Thanks for sharing your story.

Praying for u.

It took almost three long months to understand the sleeve is a tool and if u don't do ur part it will not work.......good luck and keep trucking girlfriend.....

Me too! Two months out on Tuesday! You look great girlfriend.

Love it! Can't wait to be just Kim.
