Thank you chez encouraging words are always something can make anyone think more positive

I have been overweight all my life it took a lot of me to get up and do this. I just turned 26. I don't feel all that restricted now. I can eat but I do get full easily. I wish I didn't tell anyone I was doing this. No one really understand the process of this except for you guys who have undergone this surgery. I live in 2 family house at my fathers, I rent out the bottom half of his house to help him out with bills with my boyfriend. Well I went upstairs my dad and brothers have noticed a difference but today idk what got into my dad- but my middle brother since kids has always called me tubby- he mentions to my dad- that he will no longer be able to call me that bc I'm losing weight- my dad who has mentioned before to me that he sees me losing the weight states "I don't see it she isn't losing anything" finds it necessary to take out the scale for me to weight myself. I got so upset and ran to my room- I told him to get out of my face and I been crying ever since. I don't want to fail at this. Im petrify that I did all of this for nothing. I barely eat. I've gone to restaurants just to pack my food to go so my bf can eat it when I get home. He then came downstairs to apologize just to tell me that he sees it but its not going fast enough. Just bc someone who did gastric lost it within months. Maybe I should have had my stomach ripped off- I would have been able to see a difference by now. I'm sorry all- I needed to vent :/ This is me now; Then- sucking in my stomach too lol

I've lost 20 PDs since pre op- I'm on musheys now And will go for my second follow up on the 28th- I know it's different for everyone but when did u start loosing again? Your first fill? Should I not even worry about losing weight until after my first fill?

I've healed pretty quickly, no gas pain no aching just the incisions are a little sore- I'm on mushys now and I'm starving, I fill up quicker but idk what to eat to stay under 800 calories. Since preop I've lost 20 pounds nothing since then. Scared to gain it back- I'm sure returning to the gym will def make me loose weight. I go back on the 28th :/ I wonder if ill get a fill in then?

It's my birthday!! A week ago I ha surgery- everything seems great- pain is subsiding a lot besides where the port is and it's starting to slightly bruise- but lately I've notice in my incisions a lot more pain not massively a lot- but almost like a slight burn to touch or move around a certain way- is this just signs of healing? Calling my doc today to make sure but wanted everyone else's opinion.

Today I start my full liquid diet; how an I suppose to fit four shakes, a soup and yogurt all in a day- I feel so full. :/ am I suppose to finish it all? In good news I weight myself today and I went from 253 from pre op diet to 238. I can so see skinny me already! I don't want to loose my hair- that's my biggest concern? Do u loose your hair to the point that your balding!? Any advice anyone? I still have pain and some gas but not to the point where I was ready to give up a few days ago. Sleeping my back sucks so bad as well :/ anyways hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

I have the same issue now; what did U do to solve it?

I feel like I did 1000000 sit ups. I have gas beyond belief. I feel like I want to burp and can't. I've drank maybe an ounce of water every 5 mins. Please someone tell me this gets better, I feel like crying and telling myself why did I do this to myself

Banded yesterday, I'm in a lot of bloating pain but managing! We did it!!

Lord be with me !

I have to be at the hospital tomorrow at 7:30am!!! Wish me luck everyone!!!

I don't have a time yet, waiting on that call! but I am so excited, scare all at the same time!!! All liquids today basically jello and water- but it's worth it!! N

Can they tell if you didn't do a pre op diet? Or if u cheated with a slice a cheese or a piece of bread or whatever the situation ?
