changingme

Thanks judith for being so nice and encouraging thats what im going to do take it easy i didnt gain this weight over night so i cant expect to lose it that way either.this is for the other person with the negative response and questioning my reasons i did this surgery due to health reasons and wanting be healthy for my children,now that im understanding my attachment to food and the source i can deal better nobody is perfect we all chose this surgery to better ourselves,and i came to this site for support and encouragement not to feel worse.I'm not questioning anyone reasons so please don't question mine.

3 weeks,I started off by eating wrong then i began exercising everyday sometimes twice a day right after surgery cause I really haven't had much Weightloss ive only lost 25lbs,now im in pain for doing this to myself.

I cant eat anything and i don't feel like drinking anything either.

Thanks everyone cause it was starting to scare me,cause it seems like I can eat more now than I could 3weeks ago.

I've gotten to where I count calories,it's a app on my phone that i log my daily intake and its constantly saying im under my calories which are 1500 daily but isn't that to many for a gb person?

Well my surgery date was 2/26/13 and I've lost 23lbs,and I still hate my body and hate anyone who looks at me since i had my baby 6mos. Ago i tend to only wear baggy clothes so nobody will pay me any attention,so i went to the grocery store today and a very handsome man approached me for my number and i was so upset because how could someone like him even look at a person like me all he's looking for is sex,so I hurried and left the store all i can do is cry,my ex left for someone smaller and seems to be happy hopefully with more Weightloss and therapy I can one day find happiness.

Im interested

Thanks to everyone for the encouraging words,it feels good to know that I'm not the only person dealing with this issue.

Thanks you guys it's just I've been overweight my entire life and have failed at every attempt I've taken,and I'm afraid that it'll happen this time too.

I had my surgery on 2/26/13 and i lost 20lbs my first week but I've gained 4,I have thyroid problems so it's always has been hard for me to lose any weight and im afraid this will be another failed attempt.today i met a lady who had the surgery 6mos. ago and has only lost 27lbs and she can eat only 600 calories a day plus she exercises,I'm very discouraged especially since I've never been able to lose weight without pills.

Im taking notes right now from you guys,thanks so much for your help everyone!!!

Great!!!its a date!!

They don't offer anything really,but after reading all of the post here,I did make an appointment with a therapist and I also contacted a nutritionist to get help with my terrible eating habits.

Thanks for all the advice I'm going to stick it out.

I would love a email support buddy!I'm in Warner robins ga.,but Dr. khan in Duluth Ga. did my surgery.

Im in GA my surgery date was 2/26/13 im a newbie!!

Well i didn't have any classes only one therapy session and that's it,I really wish I'd taken my time to learn more about afterwards and to find a surgeon who really cares,my first consultation was on 1/27/13, and my surgery was 2/26/13.now im on my own when i call his office his nurse that deals with Gastric bypass patients has a attitude the rest don't even know what to say and his bedside manner is terrible.i had my one week follow up then once a month follow ups. I've gotten more info here than i have from my surgeon and if I'd known before what I know now I would've acted on a impulse thought to have this surgery mentally i wasn't ready im not eating right and more depressed than ever but i guess it's too late to turn around now.

I myself had a breast reduction a couple of years ago and found myself to be heavier afterwards,my doctor told me the swelling of scared tissue and fluid was causing it and the heaviness of the anesthesia.give yourself about two weeks and the weight will move your body just has to heal and get use to the adjustment.try light walking nothing intense just to get you started,and congratulations on your Weightloss!!

Still be careful cause a lot of soups have a high sodium content.

How much have you lost?

2/26/13,just last Thursday

20lbs so far

Yes it does but other than site pain and a little gas i don't even feel like i had surgery,my cravings haven't changed and neither has the ability to eat food.

Madenkorea I've been passing gas like crazy.

I pinched a piece of cheese on my son pizza and pinched a chicken wing I think it's guilt more than anything.
