sleevemeup got a reaction from Eiluj in Treated Different......
So unfortunate, but I understand. Yes, it does happen. It may sound strange, but being overweight has actually made me a better person. I feel that everything happens for a reason, and you learn and grow from experiences. I went from being very thin and fit to 120 lbs overweight. When I was thin, I had more "guy" friends. Could have been because I was involved in sports, who knows. After my weight gain, I have more "girl" friends. I don't really miss my guy friends, maybe because I am married with a family. I seriously hope I don't loose my girl friends with my weight loss, but if I do, I guess they weren't friends after all.
One thing I have noticed is that I am a nicer, more understanding and less judgmental. I don't think I would be this way had I always remained thin. It's not that I was a nasty person before I gained the weight, just not as "aware" as I am now. I am looking forward to sports, being able to enjoy doing things with my family that I haven't been able to do for 10 years. I am grateful for all this has taught me. I don't know how certain people will treat me, but I know how to now treat others and I have a different outlook. Sounds kinda crazy, geez- I sure hope I pass my psych exam next week.....lol

sleevemeup got a reaction from ronbo67 in 5 Weeks Post Op
I had surgery on 2/14, and I am at 35. I have also had a total of 9 surgeries on my legs (6 knee). I have just been walking and recently started the elliptical. It's remarkable how much better my legs feel. I had a slow week around wk 3. Now it's picking up. It just takes time. Best of luck!

sleevemeup got a reaction from agirlofaith in I made it!
Finally! I am on the other side. All went well, nothing earth shattering to report. Thank you for all of the great support here! On my way to a smaller me. So worth it. I know feel that I am in control instead of the food. I know I have done the right thing!

sleevemeup got a reaction from ElleG in Food relationships
Yes, I had a few food funerals. I made it, I'm 9 days away from surgery. Pre-op isn't that bad, just like any other diet that I have done time and time again, except this one will certainly end differently! Best of luck on the 20th~

sleevemeup got a reaction from turtle lips in Fabulous February Post-Op's
Okay, you guys are freaking me out (and making me laugh). I go in tomorrow morning. My doc said I didn't need to poop before I left. Thank God. I'm a home pooper. I'm glad you are all doing well, and will join in hopefully later tomorrow. Not looking forward to the catheter....

sleevemeup reacted to SandyRI in Hypothyroidism and Gastric Bypass
Hi, I was worried too. I have hypothyroidism...I have had it since the 90's...I am now a little over a month out..and I have lost over 35 lbs...Considering all things..I am very happy I had the surgery! I didn't lose anything the first week...and in fact I gained from the fluids in the hospital..needless to say..I was freaked out! BUT...it started dropping off...and now I'm in clothes I had put away because they didn't fit anymore. It's a great feeling!
I know is an expensive gamble...but for your health it might be worth it for you. I really wish you the best of luck!!!
