How do you join in?

What's the difference? I mean, i love challenges, esp now that I'm 17 months out and still 15 lbs i need/want to lose, and it's gotten harder and i don't want this to feel like diets that I've failed prior to vsg. I need fun ways and incentives to help me along:)

Happy mothers day moms:) No weight changes

Same, ugh, i feel like throwing in the towel, so frustrated but still thankful for losing what i have 17 months out.

I am up a lb, geez!

Tysm Tex, im trying everyday, it's hard bc nothing is on good termsv but i pray everyday for comfort and strength. Ty for your kind words! And you keep plugging along, and may we both get a grip on our sweet tooth!

Thank you so much kindle!! And I'm an so sorry for your loss, my deepest sympathies! ! I nvr realized that i used food as a coping device. ..but my oldest daughter has put me threw the ringer, she left home, heard she's on drugs, living with a porn girl and shine guys, v quit her job and moved out of state, and besides giving up on life, i guess im using the feel good foods to comfort myself with and it's just more stress. YOU are correct in saying not to buy the stuff in the first place, i just got back from Walmart and got some Protein shakes, like i said, I'm still having issues with the surgery so I'm bummed about that too. Geez life huh! !?? Anyways, thank you for taking this time to address me and im proud of you for not succumbing to alcohol and extra foods! !! You hang in there and my prayers go out to you and your friends family, God Bless you all in this time of need. And i agree with the food thing during a death, but again, i think it comes down to comfort foods and as we know, they do make us think that things are better than what they are, altho delicious, we have to recognize (ME), that it's just that, a thought! Again tyvm:)) keep up the good work, you've helped me greatly.

Well I am kind of like you up there if I had it to do again I wouldn't do it either. I have had complications with swallowing in getting food to go down liquids to go down its just a mess my weight loss is slow now 16 months out. I now eat to survive and what I mean by that is I eat whatever I can get to go down easy whether it's good for me or bad for me I barely drink liquids because they hurt going down no matter what liquid it is. I have had 6 egds for dilation of my esophagus and nothing works. I've taken countless meds in both pill n liquid forms and nothing. I truly wished i had a do over. It's not been fun losing at all. I'm thankful that I've lost but now bc of the junk that i graze on, ive put 7lbs back on and it makes me angry and scared! I have a new surgeon, old one retired, so that bums me out bc he haven't a clue what I've gone/going thru and he's just peeing in the wind with zero results as well. I throw up in my sleep bc of severe acid reflux and food not passing, no matter what time i eat it! I've had 4 to 5 upper GI's, just stresses me out! Would i recommend the surgery to others, yes, bc ik it works, just not for me. I'm that 1in whatever that crap happens to, im like the punchline! ! I don't even enjoy that i finally can wear jeans after 15 yrs bc im constantly reminded, just like now as I'm writing this, that m y surgery was a failure for me. I'm in pain daily and my hair is still falling out! ! They told me that after 4 to 6 months things would be better once my stomach relaxed, not even, it's been 16 months and like i said, i throw up constantly and i have to sleep almost sitting up. Whether anyone likes my comments or not, it's MY experience and im glad yours was great, i wouldn't wish this on my worse enemy.

Hello all, I too haven't posted in a while, i do pray that everyone is still doing very well and losing or stabilized. I've been thinking alot about how things are going now that we're over a yr out. As for me, I'm still struggling with the swallowing, still no answers or solutions. I too can eat about anything, still painful though. Last time i updated, i was 153 or 4, not sure, but I'm not losing anymore, I'm gaining and im scared to death! Im 160, yes, lots of stress and stress eating, carbs, or small snacks more frequent. And that's stressing me. How is everyone else doing? ?? I'm going to rejoin the group if that's ok. I need your support and advice please if anyone is here anymore. Thanks in advance  Dee.
