    riss523 got a reaction from Brenda0928 in Biggest regrets about getting the sleeve?   
    I'm just over 3 weeks out (sleeved 4/16) I did totally regret my decision at first. It was very hard to cook for my family or smell food cooking knowing I couldn't have any! I wasn't physically hungry at all... It's tough to get over the head hunger!!! It is getting easier, but it's still hard. But I'm not that hard on myself because I'm still new at this huge change and learning every day!! Everyone I spoke to prior to surgery said it was the best thing they ever did... But not one of them said anything about how hard (emotionally) the first few week are!!! I've had people tell me that I'm weak and I'm taking the easy way out.. I assure you, IT'S NOT!!!! My sister won't speak to me anymore because I'm "weak & took the easy way road!!"
    Best of luck to you on your journey!!!!!!

    Go to your doctor every time it happens!! That way it's documented in case you need skin removal surgery. It'll make the process much easier!!

    I started using that app presleeve when I was 130lbs overweight. I signed up for a 5k this coming September and I wanted to get a head start on training for it! Especially since I knew I was going to lose a few weeks post op!! Just go at your own pace! Listen to your body!!!

    riss523 got a reaction from LipstickLady in I now know I totally made the right decision!   
    So after having a really crappy day, my son came home from school with a Mother's Day plant for me!! Totally a surprise this year I didn't even know they were doing one! He threw away all of the flyers!! He used his own money to buy it! He gave me a huge hug and said thank you for getting healthy for me!! (I also quit smoking 8 months ago!!) he totally made my day and made the sadness of what happened this morning all go away! I now know without a doubt I made the right decision!!!

    Ask her how much she charges for therapy. Tell her you are willing to pay her according to her degree level in psychology. If she says she doesn't have a degree tell her you assumed she did since she seemed to know more than you know about what makes you depressed.

    riss523 got a reaction from gmanbat in I want to cry...   
    So sick and tired of all the judgmental people in my life!! I just got the 3rd degree from a skinny minnie coworker about (healthy) recipes that I had posted on Facebook. Are you kidding me?? As if going thru this major life change wasn't hard enough!!! She's telling me by me posting recipes it's making me more depressed! Bullcrap!!! She's never been fat in her life and has no idea what it feels like!!! I hate cooking!! I was never taught how to cook so I never liked doing it!! Now with this surgery I'm forced to cook. I need to know that there are healthy EASY recipes that I can make!!!! Ugh!!!! So over people!!!!! Ok that's my rant for the day!!!

    I'm going on a cruise to Bermuda and I will be just hitting 6 weeks out... I just need to remind myself that I'm there to relax and get a good tan!! Not to taste all of the food onboard!! At least I know I'll get plenty of exercise walking the ship and the island!!
    Have a blast and relax!! If you are depressed I think that vacation will help you greatly!!!

    I was told as long as the pill is smaller than an m&m I would be fine. But you should definitely talk to your surgeon and the dr that prescribes your pills!!
