weight_no_longer

24 August here... cant wait!

thanks everyone for your replies, Im so glad this isnt the norm. I hate vomiting, I guess everyone does, but I couldnt think of anything worse than constantly vomiting, especially if it came up that quickly that you couldnt reach the bathroom in time. It would impact greatly on normal day to day living & would probably turn me off the surgery. I hope she gets some help.

Someone at work actually brought up the bullemia question also. Maybe she is worried about gaining the weight back? Im happy it is not the norm.

I was hoping this wasnt normal. I started to worry this is what happens but maybe people dont like to talk about it. Must just be my nerves starting to set in. I wonder if she is eating too much? or too fast?

I have done the same thing, I havent weighed myself because I dont want to know how much Ive put on, but since Ive had a date for surgery ive eaten like a horse, i hate the fact that im doing this to myself

Im so sorry for your loss xx sending much peace your way xx

Not trying to be overly vain here, but can any of u post sleevers answer for me... Does losing weight make u look older in the face, eg. wrinkles etc? I know a slimmer body will definetely give a younger look, but will my face age?? Im 43 and have always been told i look good for my age, is that because all my fat has plumped out my wrinkles? I know this is not all about looks but I just want as much info as possible on all aspects of surgery. thanx fellow sleevers

u sure do!!

Great question... Im single with kids & have moved to a new State where I know nobody (except work mates - who I wont be telling) so am totally on my own with this. I was wondering the same thing. Im hoping I can look after myself after surgery with some help from my kids? Also I wanted to know how soon after surgery could I drive??

I cant wait to look in the mirror & like what I see. I can wait to feel healthy , happy & not think about being overweight all day every day. And I cant wait to run into the last two guys I dated, when I look thin & fabulous, who both dumped me because I was too fat.

OMG u look awesome, really toned & fit , i hope i can look like that one day... well done!!!

wow such a brave, strong woman you are!!! wishing you only the very best wishes & thoughts for your upcoming surgery. thanx for sharing. Im sure you are over all the bad times & only have great times ahead to look forward to

wow thanx for your honesty, i guess we all have to remember this is major surgery, i wish mine was over :/ hope you feel better real soon

looking forward to your updates, wishing you all the very best for your surgery

this might be a dumb question... im pre-sleeve so trying to get what you guys are going through ... do you still feel like you want to eat these foods, pizza, icecream etc but cant due to the fact that you feel full?? or is it that your sleeve cant tolerate these foods at the moment??

good luck to all, keep us posted on your recovery

best of luck xx keep us all updated:)

cant wait to hear how u guys went today, keep us all posted xx
