    - I confess that I was sad when I heard the McRib was back. I really want one.

    - I had a chocolate chip cookie yesterday

    - I am afraid to loss my hair

    - I am slave to the scale' date=' but now only weigh myself once a week every Friday, starting last week.

    - My husband gets on my Nerves telling me what to eat, while he is eating pizza 3 days a week.

    - and the worst of all I didnt tell my mom about the surgery, because i did not want to hear her mouth about what I need to do to loss weight, although she smokes a pack a day.

    (Sleeved Nov 7, 2012, Pre Surgery weight =312, Surgery =weight 300, Weight as of 11/30/12= 282!!! ) [/quote']

    We sound so similar in everything. I was sleeved on November 12 and my highest weight was 312 like yours. I'm 280 today... And I didn't tell my mom about the surgery for the same reasons... Who also smokes a pack a day haha

    I'm afraid of complications and worry all day/night 4.5 weeks out.

    I'm afraid I'm losing weight too fast. I've lost 30 lbs in 4.5 weeks.

    I'm terrified my partner will leave me when I get skinny.

    I can't wait to be skinny so I can have more job Opportunities.

    I can not wait for ppls reactions when I show up to my reunion skinny. I have made it a goal not to post pictures or have pictures of me up on Facebook till then.

    Your partner would be crazy not to like you thin. From your profile pic, you are adorable Now... You will be super hot after!

    I confess that I thought this would be a good thing but in fact' date=' it has turned my life upside down. Other than online and at the surgeon's office, no one gets it.

    I confess that I'm feeling completely unhinged. Mental. Crazy cakes. Ask my husband who, after an intense argument, just told me he feels as if our entire relationship is hopeless- because I genuinely can't see -any- change in my body. He can't do crazy. I don't blame him- I don't want to do it either. I'd rather have him happy without me than miserable with me.

    I confess that people who are motivated to exercise (hardcore) both anger and astound me. Then I feel worse about the walking I do every day. It's not what they're doing, so why bother? So I put it off until I feel guilty as sin. Then I push myself until I'm sick. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

    I confess that my honest sharing online has inadvertently led to people feeling like they are less than I am. I cry about it. I feel so guilty that I don't want to post, because I -never- want to make -anyone- feel less than wonderful.

    (This was scary, but I promised my therapist I'd keep participating. So, I'm sorry if I've angered or offended anyone in the process.)[/quote']

    I'm sorry you can't see any change in your body. It's because you've seen yourself every single day and in your mind, you look the same. I promise you other people definitely see the change. Maybe you won't see it until you're near goal... Who knows? The scale tells the truth though. And please never stop posting. I enjoy everything you have to say.

    That was strangely therapeutic... So I have more.

    1. I get pissed when people that are under 200 lbs have or talk about having weight loss surgery.

    2. I get mad at myself for eating more than 600 calories. Day... When I could put back over 5,000 calories without my sleeve.

    3. I know the sleeve is working for me, but I get jealous of people on here that lost ridiculous amounts of weight their first month (50+ lbs? I can only hope).

    4. I am scared that I will become a b***h and leave my fiancé when I'm skinny if he's still overweight...

    5. I am scared that when I have babies I will gain all my weight back and I will be fat for the rest of my life.

    1. I confess that I am 27 and I have not had sex with my fiancée in three months because I can't stand the way I feel and look.

    2. I confess that I weigh myself every morning and I get on and off the scale sometimes 20+ times until I get the exact number 3-5 times in a row.

    3. I confess that I tried to eat a taco (minus the shell) five days post op. I have eaten a taco (soft shell) within the past week when I should still be on puréed foods.

    4. I confess that I subscribed to some blogs and Instagram people that post about anorexia and eating disorders because I feel that's what I have had all my life (binge/over eating) and now (anorexia in a way).

    5. I confess that i thought that this surgery was the easy way out for years. I'm still mad at myself for not being strong enough to resist the temptations of food without a surgery.

    Hey Spiedose!

    Be careful there' date=' friend! YOu can lose a lot in the first month and have done FABULOUS so far, but be careful while at the gym and don't get carried away! You have to give your body time to completely heal before going all out. Walking and toning-great......we don't want you in the hospital for rupturing anything! Easy does it.....you have the rest of your life to gung ho it. Allow yourself to heal now.[/quote']

    Oh don't worry. I will be extremely careful. I've always hated working out... But I'm gonna have to get used to it And do what's right this time. :)

    I had my two week visit yesterday and I had lost 18 lbs in 14 days. I'm very happy with this, but I asked to see my barium X-ray so I could see how big my new stomach is. She told me that I was the first one to ever ask to see it. They didn't have it there and only the surgeon can log into the system to let me see it. That was a shock to me. I've googled for pictures is sleeve X-rays but its apparently not a very popular search since I hardly found anything. I know my surgeon said he uses the smallest bougie size... Is there anyone willing to share a picture of their new stomach?
