Is it okay to have a last hoorah?
You will live and be around food forever. The hardest part of this process is usually changing your mindset. Food is not our enemy. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

Who the hell do you think you are?
At almost two years post-op, I have leaned not to tell most people. This is due to often finding myself in the position of having to educate health professionals and others. When I am heading to the gym after work many of my coworkers are supportive. The only know that I am working on my health. I do not think I will ever tell them about my sleeve. To me it is like telling someone you have diabetes. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

Mental energy and body temperature after VSG?
Do you have Anemia? After WLS due to this condition, I never had any energy, felt cold while living in Florida and became depressed plus other symptoms. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

Stupid things people say when they find out you've had surgery....
For me, I will only tell in my new town if it helps someone else. I workout. At work, they call me "The Workout Queen." I do not feel the need to talk about my WLS. My life my way! I am becoming healthier person. Life moving forward. I do not want the nasty remarks. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

Having a puppy at home
All I can say is that my children hugged and jumped on me after surgery. I learned to grab a pillow and tell them to move. It should not be too bad. Just protect your body and enjoy your life! Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

A truly lousy couple months
I have watched my sister any mother die due to uncontrolled health issues. Don't give up and work you program. Also, go take the darn test that you need. Living in denial is quick road to an early death. Take care of yourself! Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone's goal weight still leave them "overweight" or "obese"?
After nothing happening for months I have started losing weight again. I workout several times a week. My golden number is 150 at 5"6' with a large frame. The hard thing is when I talk about losing 40 more pounds everyone acts like I am crazy. I generally don't talk about my surgery. I am just seen as a "health nut." I live in a new town. Some charts say I will be "over weight." I don’t care. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

Cake after being sleeved
Guilt is a waste of emotions. I know because I was raised to feel guilty as a Roman Catholic. Lol Changing your behaviors requires, commitment and repeated new behaviors. Give yourself a break. Just don’t give up. Keep moving forward towards better health. Use the healthy map that works for your over all goals. If that means a little sugar every few months then who has the right to judge you. Work at being healthy you are worth it! Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App L

Hard to believe
The only thing I want to say is please remember this surgery is just a tool. For lifetime changes it will take both psychological and behavioral changes that nobody can do but you. I wish someone had told me how much this process would change my life. I have no regrets. I am still learning. I wish everyone great health. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App
