Well, i`m not sure if this is the same thing or not ... but the last time I was on a weight loss journey (and ended up losing over 100 lbs), I remember feeling like that. But I know what it was from ... I started to see people (friends and relationships) for what they were, and it made me more cynical and angry.
Men I had been friends with or known for years, now that I was thinner, were suddenly interested in more ... this annoyed me.
Women I was friends with, trying to sabotage my weight loss successes - here, I made you some Cookies, you`re too thin, you should stop losing weight, oh you`re unhealthy, etc (when I still had 50 lbs to go ...) - this annoyed me.
Then I noticed how much nicer people were, or how much more attentive people were to my new thinner self - this annoyed me.
Basically, I attributed it to no longer being blind to the reality that "looks do matter" to some people - and it forced me to re-evaluate all my relationships and my own vanity issues.
It doesn't help that while we lose, there's raging hormones being let loose, and head hunger, and other addictions vying for our attention in our brains!

Weighed in at 4 1/2 months lost 63 pounds so far. Very excited to keep on losing. Question though is I find myself hungry a lot. What and if you did , was your tool for this ? I snack in between with Protein but need to change up. Eating almost 1/2 cup each meal. Some days I can some days it's tough.

Congrats on you anniversary and success! You look great!

Awesome! How long have you been maintaining? I am at 4 months maintaining and I have to say, being able to successfully maintain month after month is more exciting to me than actually losing the weight!

Today marks my second year and I'm holding strong SW 260 lbs CW is 155 lbs.
How's everyone making out?

I've been maintaining for over a year, haven't lost any more weight, I fluctuate 5-6 lbs but remain between 150 - 155 lbs. Thinking a jump start back into regular exercise will help me reach my ultimate goal of 125 lbs total weight loss. I'm thriled with my progress, but determined to never give up the life long fight.

I finally did it, I was sleeved on the 21st!
I'm Dennis, married, 30 years old with a VERY active two year old. I'm from a farming family in rural NC, so I was always active outdoors, hunting, fishing, etc.
Just like many of the folks here, my weight has been a lifelong struggle. I was over 300lbs by the time I was 15, until I hit my all time high of 405lbs at 19. I'm 30 now, and for the last 5-7 years, I have maintained right around 350, sometimes more, sometimes less.
I had been looking at WLS for a long while, but it always seemed to take a back burner to whatever else I had going on. I finally decided that this was my year, I wanted to be able to keep up with my son, and just be able to enjoy life in general, without being so self conscious or tiring out so easily. I wanted to feel good about myself!
I had a fairly easy process, from my first seminar to the surgery date was only about 4 months.
I'm now just a few days out, and adjusting well. Christmas day wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I really had no desire to eat a thing. Getting my fluids in has been a chore enough! I'm going to use this thread to document my journey, post progress pictures, and just stay encouraged and on track.
Surgery Day! 12-21-15

Fantastic pictures! way to go on maintenance.

Wow! Impressive job!

Hi Everyone....Had my Sleeve Surgery on Jan 13, 2014....
SW 260 lbs
CW 195 lbs
I'm in my 4th week of the C25K workout, (Couch to 5K). It's super hard but I'm not giving up. I've been stuck at my current weight for weeks. I've tried increasing my calories, but I'm only able to get in about 1000 per day. Any advise?
Thanks-Mel

Hello! I had surgery jan 30, 2014. I'm struggling to understand what I need to be eating. 5 days post op I realized I could have been having Soups, sf pudding. I had been miserable and extremely nauseous only eating Protein Shakes. Any way, I wanted to introduce myself and say thank goodness there is an easily accessible support group. So today is day 6 post op and I've lost 20lbs.

I am coming up on 6 mos and have been stalled for more than a month. I will be seeing my nut and starting couch to 5k in a week! So frustrating!

Sam club and costco premiere chocolate is very very good.. I highly re ommend

I've tried many and find I don't care for the ones I blend, they have a horrible after taste...I've tried Unjury and Nectar...my fav is Premier Protein Ready to drink in chocolate. I get mine at costco but Sams had it too...you can find smaller quantities at some grocery stores too. I prefer it ice cold! I also am somewhat ok with Isopure which is a Crystal Light type drink, tho lately I can't handle the aftertaste. I got that at Vitamin Shoppe it's in glass bottles and in the fridge!

Congrats!....I got my date too...Jan 13th!!!!! I so excited about my overall lifestyle change!!!!
