Yes it will pass! I was there a long time ago as well! So bad i about had some sort of breakdown. But you still sound upbeat! That's great!

over a year out, still hiccup... @Miss Mac i thought the sneezes were just me!!!! good to know!!!

@thenewandbestme YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

I WAS DIZZY A LOT, I WASN'T USED TO MY NEW LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE FOR ONE THEN MY IRON WAS LOW....TAKE BOTH OF THESE TO HEART.

OK I'VE BEEN AT 188, 189, 190 FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE 2 MONTHS, THIS CAN'T BE THE END, THIS CAN'T BE ALL I'M GOING TO LOSE, I THOUGHT I WAS BEING LENIENT ON MYSELF GOING FOR 175. I HAVE DONE SOME OF THOSE CALCULATORS OR ESTIMATORS THAT SAY WHAT YOU COULD LOSE AND MOST OF THEM ARE IN THE 170-180 RANGE. I DON'T CHEAT, I DON'T EVER EAT, I'M REALLY FINE WITH THIS SIZE EXCEPT FOR MY STOMACH THAT I STILL HAVE, IF IT WERE MUCH SMALLER I'M FINE WITH EVERYTHING ELSE...DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THE SCALE MOVING AGAIN

OH CRAP! THAT SUCKS!

I COULD ABSOLUTELY NOT WEAR HEELS AT OVER 300 LBS. NOW I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ACTUAL HIGH HIGH HEELS OR STILETTOS HA, BUT I AM ABLE TO WEAR HEELS NOW AT 188. YOU'LL SURELY BE ABLE TO!

I GOT ONE AS I HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET MYSELF AND MY FAMILY SICK.

LIKE SAID ABOVE, IT PUSHES THE FOOD THRU, MAKING YOU HUNGRIER FASTER, SOME EVEN SABOTAGE THEIR SURGERIES BY DRINKING WHILE EATING SO THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY EAT MORE - I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING THAT BUT I'VE READ IT OVER AND OVER. I JUST MADE IT A STRICT RULE THAT I KNEW I HAD TO LIVE WITH AND NOW IT'S JUST LIFE, I DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, I CAN USUALLY TELL WHEN IT'S BEEN ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AFTER FOOD AND THEN I DRINK, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE REGARDING THIS SURGERY, YOU JUST GET USED TO IT.

MY OPINION, IT'S A LITTLE EARLY FOR YOU AND SOME OTHER FOLKS TO HAVE "ALL THAT ENERGY"....IT TOO WILL COME IN GOOD TIME...

I'M 10 MOS. OUT AND I HAD THE BUG A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT I COULD STILL THROW UP LIKE I DID...ANYWAY, I JUST KEPT DRINKING AS MUCH AS I COULD. BUT I ONLY ACTUALLY THREW UP ONCE.

@ Sophie74656 I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE LAST PARAGRAPH YOU WROTE, I SAY THAT TO MY FIANCE ALL THE TIME. THIS IS HARD, THIS TAKES WORK, THIS TAKES SELF CONTROL, I COULD EAT ALL DAY LONG IF I WANTED TO AND EAT BAD THINGS AND GET RIGHT BACK IN THE SHAPE I STARTED IN....WE ALL COULD!!! PEOPLE THINKING THIS WAS CHEATING OR THE EASY WAY OUT SHOULD FEEL THE PAIN, NAUSEA, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, ETC THAT I FELT FOR THE FIRST FEW MONTHS, AND THATS NOT THE HALF OF IT...ANYWAY I TOTALLY AGREE.

I HAD MEXICAN. I DIDN'T LOOK AT IT AS MY LAST MEAL THOUGH. AFTER SURGERY WHILE I WAS GOING NUTS LOL, I DID HAVE THOUGHTS LIKE, I SHOULD'VE EATEN THIS OR I SHOULD'VE EATEN THAT....BUT I GOT OVER IT.

JUST GO AHEAD AND TELL YOURSELF TO CHILL OUT. I HAD TO WAIT WAY WAY WAY LONGER THAN THAT AFTER MY SURGERY WAS APPROVED. IT WAS A LONG HARD ROAD BUT IT WILL REALLY BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

I DON'T KNOW IF I HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT I WAS FURTHER INTO MY JOURNEY WHEN I FELL INTO HAVING SEVERE NAUSEA EVERY SINGLE WAKING MORNING. IT GOT SO BAD THAT I HATED WAKING UP, AND I GOT SEVERELY DEPRESSED. I WILL MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT THAT I WAS THAT WAY FOR A COUPLE MONTHS STRAIGHT AND THEN ONE MORNING I WOKE UP AND WAS FINE EVERY MORNING SINCE THEN. IT WAS THE WORST THING EVER AT THE TIME BUT NOW IT IS A DISTANT MEMORY. YOU WILL BE JUST FINE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT!
