Thanks for answering everyone! I feel the SAME WAY about breakfast, and I go back to my trainer this week, so I think I'll continue to keep them on hand for now

I will NEVER love working out, so I agree with screwing the idea of motivation. I just think of it like another thing I have to do, like wiping your ass. You HAVE to wipe your ass! Lol!

That is exactly how I feel sometimes..... not disappointed but a little discouraged, I just thought it would be a little different..... and It is hard to talk to my surgeon because he felt that the RNY is superior to the sleeve and I just don't want him to say well, I told you so...... over all I am happy with my surgery, I just thought weight loss would be a little quicker and I still feel hunger, so I guess that is an issue that I will always have to deal with.
Thanks for listening and sharing everyone.. sometimes you just need to speak your mind and clear your heart with people who I hope will understand.

My 6 year old eats more than I do...... I do not have anything that is considered off limits or trigger foods except for coffee....
I just don't understand why the weight is not falling off ?!?
I really can't talk about this to everyone... because they feel you got the surgery quit complaining....... it is really hard I have been stalled for about 2 weeks now and I follow all the rules.
I feel there is something that happens when you remove a part of the stomach... the brain has to send some sort of signal to hold on to weight ... It is nearly impossible to exist on the amount of food we eat if we did not have this small stomach.... my 6 year old eats more than I do and he is rail thin.... I just do not understand for the life of me why weight is so slow.

I too have a healthy hatred of exercise - I think it's because my husband is a long-distance runner. I can't imagine running unless something awful is chasing me. Anything that involves bouncing is just not going to happen - all that jiggling, and loose, hanging body parts could hurt someone. I have a stationary bike that I had to change the seat on, because for some reason, bike seats need to be able to supply ouchy wedgies. After I lose 20 or 30 lbs. I will join my husbands gym - but it ain't gonna be pretty.

I don't exercise to lose weight I exercise to gain health. You can lose weight without exercising, but just half hour a day of aerobic exercise will give you TONS of health benefits.

Hello again my people, its been a while. I just wanna say to everyone who is having second thoughts about getting sleeved...... Yes it is a tough journey in the beginning, only because you're making a life altering decision. Not only are you changing your appearance, you're changing your health and mentality. With that said.......think of this , for my health alone it was well worth it. But as a bonus I feel better than I ever have. My diabetes.....gone........high blood pressure.....gone......sleep apnea.......gone. so if you're having second thoughts just re-evaluate your personal situation, and see what it would be worth to you. Its your life and only yours. But I can honestly say its the best decision of my life so far. Iwas sleeved 9/04/12 and i started out at about 419-420lbs, today I'm 203lbs. And no worries if u follow the docs and dietitians advice plus trial and error, you will find what makes your journey more comfortable. Oh and the changes don't take long to get used to the first month is the hardest but its also the time you lose the most. So family I say think about it, and pray about it. You'll find your answer. Well wishes to everyone sleeved and good luck to those on the way.

Stress can definitely set you back a little. I know, I've been there. I find that giving in a little is okay as long as you can try to do so as healthy as possible. I crave junk food too but I'll try my best to find a better alternative. I have a sweet tooth so I'll have some strawberries and cool whip and my sweet tooth is satisfied. Definitely a healthier option then maybe a piece of candy or ice cream which I would probably prefer lol. I find that finding something that is just as satisfying and not as bad for you helps to satisfy both your cravings and still doesn't sabotage all the hard work you have done. But I'm not going to lie, sometimes I do give in though. Hey, we're all human, right? But I'll have a small portion and go to the gym to burn it off and ensure my weight loss continues to happen. Stress is definitely difficult to cope with. Journaling helps me too. With exam studying, I always have to give myself a break and that helps ease the stress too. Study hard but definitely take a break when needed. Your mind always needs a refresher every once in a while. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I am doing what I am supposed to, eating under 800 cals, usually aroubd 650-700, eating 50g carbs, 60-80g Protein and ive only lost 30 since surgery. I get depressed seeing people who are down 50lbs or more in the same time period. I know its silly but wtf is with my body hoarding all my fats. I'm exercising too.

It's very much a "Just Do It" thing for me too. I don't look forward to it, I don't like it when I'm there, I don't like the extra laundry, I don't like losing an hour out of every day, but I still go 5 days a week. Every Week. No exceptions.
I doubt I'll ever like going to the gym, but I DO like what it's doing for me. 91 pounds down, off my BP meds, blood sugar back into normal ranges, energy is up and my clothes sizes keep on getting smaller. That's why I keep going.
Just Do It!

LOL! I so needed a laugh and really have to get my ass to exercise, but since you put it that way --- I just have to do it!

Thanks so much for sharing. No one shares what recovery is really like. It looks painful, but they are going to look SO amazing!

I'm anemic and I bruise when the wind blows. Check your Iron levels.

Thanks Christine for ur kindness. My family is doing well now but they as much traumatised as I am. Especially my husband who feared for my life for a moment. We didn t tell the whole truth fto my kids of course all we said is that I was having some complications and that I will be home soon. My husband is very supportive (needless to say lol...) and I have a woderful sister and family in law and a magnificent circle of friends who are always here for me. I didn t dare to say a word to my father who knows nothing about my operation.
There s no time frame to heal. Once u heal it s done. It s a patience challenge. My pronostics are good. The doc said he wants to see me in 3 weeks. He said it s a slow run but I k on the good path. It s been 6 weeks I got the stent. I didn t have any drain and in hospital I was one month on parenteral nutrition by a PICC line. Being back on the liquid diet is a blast and I really don t mind it ...it s a super fat burner and I keep saying to myself it s a detox cure hahaha... pleuresia is hmmmm I can t explain it in english (I m sure u noticed my weak language ) it feels like pneumonia...it s when u have liquid in ur lungs and u feel like having a heart attack due to pain. At hospital I had many electrocardiograms because the docs couldn t figure out my left side apin was due to pleuresia or to a heart failure.
Now I m fine. Much much better.
[Don't let your emotions make you their b***h]

Ignore the negative people. We are all here for you and have been praying for you and your girls. Thank you for sharing your story. Had I read it before my surgery, I likely would have reconsidered. People need to hear ALL sides. Love, Blessings, and healing ~*~*~*

I will keep you in prayer,stay encourage,GOD GOT YOUR BACK...
