rosehips

Thank you so much for reminding me, I have not discovered the enjoyment, the comfort so many of you get from tea, I want that!! Also, for me, sometimes I just need a meal or I just need a portion of food and then my cravings go away. I have spent so much of my life starving/ over eating/ hungry/binging that I am still learning what to do with some real hunger.

That hurts a lot, I am glad you have somewhere to vent. The other good thing is you know what's bothering you, you expressed it, and you are not sitting there eating your feelings away. Your family and friends are very fortunate to have you in their lives. Keep paying attention to YOU, the hard part has arrived, the lifestyle of maintaining your goal weight, RIGHT ON!

Fabulous, when I hear you have lost 66 lbs in 6 months I think you have done terrific. I am at week 7 and have lost 26 lbs and I think it is too slow, then I did the math, if I lose 10 lbs a month I will have 66 at 6 months too. I don't know why I thought I was going to shrink so fast, it is not happening like that, sounds like I am whining, 10 lbs a month is nothing to scoff at but I am eating so little in comparison to my whole life?!?!

Reading one of the posts saying "I am losing 2-4 lb.'s a month". If we had never done the sleeve and were eating the portions you r probably eating, WE WOULD HAVE LOST MORE than 2-4 pounds in a month (probably). I think this is cause we reduced our calories to 500-800 while we were loosing a lot and now we don't burn calories like a body should. Does anyone want to put their 2cents in? Agreeing or not, I want to learn. I am only at 7 weeks so everything is still going great for me. I will believe it will always be great but I do like to educate myself.

Braking out a little??? I wish, I have always had a few pimples going on but now I am a war zone, they itch and never come to a head, just liquid in them, I know this is disgusting but what can I say??? Any suggestions? I heard somewhere that as my fat cells are shrinking, their are hormones in the fat cells and everything gets messed up???

How are you now? Have things become better for you? I am so sorry to hear your desperation, I know how you feel from a PRE op perspective on not being able to lose, please let me know how you are now, your post really touched my heart
