Thanks for the quick reply.. I guess I never even thought about going back to the nutritionist, that's a really good idea... I've tried therapists, can't find one that I like that's covered by insurance. It's really hard to find a good one!!!! Right after surgery I attended the support group at the facility where I was sleeved, didn't like it. It was more for those looking to have the surgery than a support system for after. I need to start working out again, need to get out of my head and get myself where I was a year ago. Happy, thinner and healthier.. Thank you for listening and for the wonderful advice Inner Surfer Girl:)

Hey everyone! I was sleeved exactly three years ago tomorrow and I am beyond disappointed in myself. I lost just about 110 pounds and have gained back about 40 I have no one to blame but myself... I'm frustrated, angry, depressed.... Anyone else out there feeling the same? I need support and motivation, someone that's been where I am to talk me through this. I can NOT go back... I can NOT keep up this way. I have to get myself back in the game, but how? Where do I start? ⭕️ Lynne Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks everyone!!!

Thanks! Hmmm maybe you can help me with something else! The site (and app) is not my friend! I posted a before pic, not only did it post three times but it's upside down! I swear I know how to work a computer, this site/app just doesn't like me! Can't figure out how to delete or edit those dang pictures!

Your words are so sweet, thank you!!!!

I tried looking for it but couldn't find it I don't come on here as much as I did in the beginning so I'm not great at navigating through the different areas lol

Thank you for letting me brag and for all the kind comments!!!!

Good luck! I have no regrets, couldn't be any happier!!!!

Thanks!!!!

Congrats! You look amazing!!!!

Thank you!!!!

Thank you!! I'm beyond excited and so proud of myself

One year ago today I made the best decision of my life!!! I have ZERO regrets! I'm down 104 pounds and have lost 5 (almost 6) pants sizes!!! I'm hoping to shed another 31 pounds over the next few months. Here are a few pictures I took last night! Those jeans I'm holding? They were SKIN TIGHT on me the day I went in for surgery!!

Way to go! You look great!!!!

Yes, I feel sooo much lighter (ironic, huh?!)! I would share a pic but I have no idea how?!

Good news is it'll grow back!!! Bad news is you hafta lose it before it'll grow back I just cut my hair off Meg Ryan style!! It makes my hair appear fuller being it's way curly. I cut mine off too! Not as short as you, but for me this is pretty drastic

Thanks! I'm going to check this out!

I feel the exact same way! This weekend I cut about 6 inches off. I'm hoping this will help as I was shedding every where I went!

Yup, I've been washing my hair as little as possible. Ends up being about twice a week. I let it air dry so as to not damage it more with the blow dryer. I knew to expect some hair loss, nothin like this though!!!!

I'm almost five months out (sleeve) and my hair is falling out in clumps Thankfully I have long, thick hair but I'm still pretty worried. I'm thinking of chopping it all off this weekend....

I know the feeling! Best decision I ever made!!!

July 8 was my surgery date. I opted for St. Joe's Hospital, everyone I dealt with was great. My surgery was at 9am Monday and i was released around 6pm Tuesday. First few days I was sore, but all in all my recovery was pretty uneventful! I've lost 31 pounds so far. I stalled for about 2 weeks, but thankfully the scale has started moving again!
