Hope all went well for everyone

Ab so lutely! He was a strange little guy and he didn't get that I just came off of losing my brother. I literally came back from his memorial service 2 days before my psyche review. And he couldn't understand why i was teary. Total ass hat

I hate wearing mascara. If I do I just wear a darkening coat. If I'm going out, false eyelashes. I already have dark circles that no concealer can hide. mascara, even waterproof always gives me raccoon eyes.

I have also experienced the taste bud change. It sucks nothing tastes right including Water. I don't even like coffee any more. ???? I'm 8 weeks out today and I am getting better but I am attracted to salty foods to which I need to stay away from.

It's hard to feel like doing stuff when you really don't. I know personally even now after my sleeve it's still a lot of days of "faking it til you make it" Is your doctor making you do a psych evaluation? You may need to discuss it all with a professional. I'm still seeing a therapist once a month or so to discuss this journey. Most insurance will cover talking to someone. Hope this helps.

I'm stalled too. I don't weigh myself usually. I try only to do it at the dr office but I got on the home scale and it's hasn't moved since my last appt. It's been 8 weeks tomorrow since my surgery I lost 30 lbs plus 25 pre op. I'm not getting my Water in enough. I'm trying... (there is no try...shut up Yoda!) I always feel like shit when I'm not doing what I should. And today I feel like mega shit! Back on the wagon

Lots of people like having heavy friends cause it makes them seem thinner. Then when that friend loses weight they start hating cause they have to look at themselves. I always had more guy friends than girl because girls are taught to be so trashy to each other. I've have 1 best friend for 30+ yrs abd and couple others that are good ones but other than family not really cause of that catty crap. FIND new friends

I'm not a fan of Kirstie but everyone else is great. And I think I've been successful so far;)

I haven't met anyone I didn't care for yet except his psych Dr who delayed my surgery 3 months cause he said I had to love my fat self first.... My therapist said wtf? Skinny guy right?

In a matter of hours I will finally be joining the ranks of the Sleevers and taking my seat on the losers bench.

It has been a long journey to get this far, but in the process I have learned a lot, and am at peace with my decision. Two years ago I had pretty much lost hope and couldn't imagine being able to do something as simple as kicking the Diet Coke habit.

I wanted to thank everyone on this board to helping me to get this far. I am eager to come back at the beginning of my new life.

Wish me luck.

Good luck sweetie ! You'll come thru like a champ!

I understand your upset with her and God rest her she sounds like my mother in law. You can't change some people. So your choice is to get over it and use it as incentive to show the haters that you can do it and do it well or be mad at her and have a strained relationship. In the future know for sure not to tell her or post it on face book first. That way everyone gets the facts straight. Onward and upward my dear.

In louisville. Had surgery 3/9 with Dr. Oldham at Baptist Bariatrics.

Me too on 3/2 he's so great.

I like bare minerals for the everyday stuff. I hate that I'm older now. I love all glittery dark stuff that I can't wear anymore. I guess that's why I used to do stripper make up for 16yrs lol

Thanks for sharing that kyrickchick! I'm getting ready to start the process and this has been one of my big concerns. That article was very encouraging

She is my hero

I if you can't love your self then how can you expect anyone else to?

I've been thinking of getting one for my brother, mother and father who have all passed. My brother just passed last year and was the catalyst for me too have my surgery. I want to wait til I've lost my weight cause I don't want it to look wonky .

Track everything you put in your mouth. Back to basics. Lots of Water.

I'm still on liquids i start purees on the 20 of this month i got a Lil depressed because no weight was coming off the Protein messed with my stomach they told me use rice protein and i have found out to be disgusting even with adding fruit like the nut said. I pray for a change soon

My new stomach didn't like any of the Protein Shake either til I started the premier ones. I had horrific diarrhea my Dr ofc even started me on solid foods a week early cause I couldn't keep it in and I was getting dehydrated. Try the premier, they have alot of protein do you don't have to drink more than 2 of them. I also eat crystallized ginger to settle my stomach as well.

Hopefully it's just a 24 hour bug

Feel better keep us updated

When I was the weight I am now was 22 yrs ago when I was pregnant with my son. Now I need to get to my wedding weight them high school weight then maybe lighter than I've ever been as an adult.

I like the premium products the ready made bottles have 30 g of Protein each so I only need 2 to get me close(my Dr only requires 70g a day) the other protein were making me vomit. This was the only one I could keep down. It helped. You are still swollen and will see more weight loss you get your fluids in. Lots of Water. Lots. Stop weighing yourself. Wait till you go to the doctor for follow up.

Foaming/ slimeing is when you throw up but nothing but a foamy white substance comes up. Dumping is when you eat something and a while later you get cold sweats and stomach cramps and bad diarrhea. And you literally run to the bathroom until it passes

Youre the only one who can stop this. Forgive yourself, get back to basics, track every bite you put in your mouth. Drink your Water. The act of doing this isn't hard, it's what's in your head that makes it that way.
