OKSleever got a reaction from Mammecan in Do you ever feel "normal" again?
I'm almost six months out and have yet to have a day that I wasn't obsessed with the scale/carbs/protein/water. So I can only speak for myself, but for me it looks like this is the "new normal" :-/

OKSleever reacted to mamamareli in 4 months out and falling off wagon
I did not post that looking for "permission" to eat junk. I was sharing my struggle and hoping for some encouragement to get back on track. And partly I was posting just to be accountable to myself by making it public. I was being honest.
I really find that there is a lot of negativity and judgement on this forum.
The best advice I've gotten so far was the suggestion about a therapist. The rest is just nasty and judgmental. And to the person who said "stop eating ****"... You are about 4 days out, right? I hope for your sake you don't struggle like I am at 4 months, but at 4 days food made me sick. That changes over time and it does get harder. I'm not making excuses for my choices. Just being real and looking for some help.

OKSleever reacted to Kindle in Plastics and bad credit
How about saving up for your surgery? Unless there are medical complications I'm not aware of, you don't "need" plastic surgery ASAP. Why not save up and get it when you can afford it? I am self pay for my sleeve, and I have great credit...I could put it on a credit card tomorrow, not to mention any number of loans I would qualify for. But I made the choice to not finance and have been saving for almost 2 years. I don't have any life-threatening comorbidities, so it just doesn't make sense to pay all that interest. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but financing stuff you can't afford is probably how you got bad credit in the first place.

OKSleever got a reaction from maharet111 in Protein Fatigue
I am a big fan of Premier Protein shakes and Quest Protein Bars to keep my Protein up. The shakes are 30g each and the bars are 20g. You can get the shakes at Sam's Club and the bars from Amazon. HTH!

OKSleever got a reaction from LipstickLady in A helpful hint!
What you're doing is stealing, plain and simple. I don't call that a helpful money saving tip. If you can't afford new clothes, don't buy them! There are thrift stores everywhere that will tide you over through the in between sizes. If you need to recoup a little money from your new clothes, sell them somewhere where you can identify them as USED. I'm not usually one to judge, but what you're doing is wrong.

This just in....a new study correlates rapid weight loss and the lack of ghrelin with being a giant d*** bag. Who knew?

OKSleever got a reaction from LeanerLena5426 in Calorie confusion
Are you sure on your calorie and carb counts? (ie are you tracking with MFP or something like that?). Are you drinking enough Water? Getting enough Protein? If so, it sounds like everyone just needs to be patient while your body adjusts. The weight will come off eventually!

OKSleever got a reaction from SuNMooNStaRS816 in Sleevers by profession.
I feel a little guilty, I think doctors are partially to blame. I know I was always advised if the nurses were giving you a hard time or paging you all night, the solution was bringing a box of donuts or cupcakes to the nurses' station!
