Thank you very much. I just want to get past this stage of regret and be thankful for this surgery.

Thanks everyone. Sadly its protein I can't keep down...cheese, fish, chicken, shrimp and beef. One min it stays down and the next meal it doesn't. I have lost close to 100 pounds....about 70 of that pre op and 30 post op. I just wish that after two months post op I was losing more than 30 but I'm still proud of my loss. I've stopped vitamins for a trial as recommended by my nurse. Sadly I'm still sick despite stopping them.

I'm sorry to hear. It sounds like we are going through the same thing. I think I'm in starvation mode too.

Hi. I'm two months post op and I barely eat. I throw up a lot but not everything. The nurse has ruled out a stricture because I can keep some food and drink down. I feel upset to my stomach all the time with what ever I put in it. It gives me nausea. Smells get to me too. I can't stand the smell of some foods, perfumes, etc. I'm not pregnant. My weight loss has slowed down. I'm still losing but only two pounds a week. I did lose a lot on the pre op diet but I'm unhappy with my current results. My nutritionist doesn't recommend working out until I can up my food intake. If I force myself to eat I become sick. Anyone else experience this? Any advice. I'm told it gets better but wow somedays I regret I did this to myself.

Yeah. It's a great program. I'll pm you!

Yes I had my surgery on July 4th in Red Deer with Dr Farries. What about you?

Welcome!!! I'm five weeks post op today. Feel free to ask questions

Winter is coming. This year I hope to buy an inexpensive coat rather than the $250-300 ones sold in a plus sized store.

That's good. I hope we get the same products and deals when Target opens here. I heard the US has more option for plus sized stores. We basically have three stores owned by the same company ...if you need higher plus sized clothing.

I can't wait to have my own style of clothes rather than buying what fits. I also can't wait to go canoeing and feel like I won't capsize it. I also want to go swimming and feel comfortable in a swim suit. I've never wanted to go somewhere tropical but the thought of being smaller and more comfortable in my own skin, I want to go.

Thanks...yeah I figured it was bad for me but if I feel so bad throwing food out. Sadly I don't even care for the breaded shrimp. Prior to surgery I found it tastes strange but I hate wasting. That's probably part of the addiction. I was raised to clean my plate and not waste food.
