@@Bryce Juneau Sr. Are you taking a B vitamin? If not get some. Losing rapid amounts of weight is rough on the body, it's trying to keep up so you can expect some fatigue, rest when you can.

Keep it moving! Don't do it again and you will be fine, it happens.

1) Maybe- Mine really never changed just my appetite. 2) Maybe- Mine disappeared for a good 6 months but it slowly comes back. 3)Maybe- It may be easy for you and you may very well still need to use a good amount of willpower to resist the urges. See all those maybe's are because only time will tell. Nobody can give you a correct answer. Our bodies are all different. Good luck!

@@luvhermitcrabs Lovely, congrats!!

@@Puppypaws57 Lol! And that's why we moved on to recipes

@@sjones0601 Welcome!

Dig deep.

Fabulous!!

@@cole225 I did that pre-op and took some over the counter sleep aid to help me sleep. Careful you'll probably start having dreams about pigging out. I did. Then I'd wake up all freaked out thinking I ate a bunch of junk.

@@beingfree Normal! I kept telling my husband "let's just walk out, I'm sure people do it all the time" on surgery day. I felt like that right up until they knocked my butt out, which was on the sly might I add. No warning....probably a good thing. Just hang in there it's worth it!

@@*Lexie* Thank you! You look pretty darn good yourself!

@@dkrause I started with chewables in the beginning but now I rarely take anything. My labs are perfect without vitamins so my surgeon said its not necessary since we still absorb what we need through the food we eat, assuming your eating properly.

Boom! There you have it!

Just say no to trolls!!

A www I think she's sweet to have sent you a nice email. Maybe she just never saw you as a big person so she didn't focus on it. That's not such a bad thing. My own husband had no clue how much I actually weighed. We played the "guess how much I weighted the day of surgery " game and he said 190, 1 freaking 90!! He was in shock when I pulled up my medical records online and showed him the actual weight of 267. My own husband didn't realize I was that big And we live together!!

@@mimorison I asked that same question, I had 3 c-section and I was told they were way worse, ummm NO! I'm not going to lie my sleeve surgery hurt! It hurt when I woke up but the recovery nurse gave me something so I would stop cussing about how people told me it wouldn't hurt . That pain med made it much better. Getting up and down hurt. I was on a morphine pump and stayed in the hospital 2 days. Day 3-5 (home) were the worst. I finally called my surgeon because I couldn't take it anymore and he upped my pain pill to a much stronger narcotic. After that I was much better. I had a JP drain that caused me some of the pain so I ended up pulling it out myself that made me fell 100x better! Don't let this freak you out because a lot of people say it's not bad. I don't know why mine hurt so bad. I didn't have gas or any of that stuff. It just did. I'm only telling you my experience, the important thing is it's over, I'm down 100lbs and would do it all over agian if I had to. Pain is just a part of any surgery, they did stab me in the stomach 5 times so it's not going to be painless. All in all its over and that's all that matters!

@@thinner-me Just tell them your taking some personal time off. Usually when someone says the word PERSONAL that tends to stop people from Questioning. Unless they're rude.

@@dhrguru Does he not want to get the surgery himself?

@@Shellbell619 Possibility, yes.

Yay! Looks like you had fun

Wonderful!

@@Shellbell619 I'm beginning to think it's just something people say like when your pregnant and the first thing people ask is "is it your first"? I heard that so many times about Not needing surgery it was ridiculous. I was 267lbs at what point do I need surgery then? Once I'm dead? Yep she should have had surgery. Lol! Just say thanks and move it along....unfortunately for them you get to decide that.

You survived!! The amount of testing they put some of you through is criminal!!

If people do want to help out these pantries with healthier versions of food the USPS does a food drive every year! My husbands favorite day of the year!! (Ha! Carrying all that extra weight on his route) anyway they get a TON of food, literally. The food you put out can make a big difference and it's easy, they give you a bag. Mark your calendar each year and (if you can) give vegetables, healthy soups ect.....be mindful of what you give. It's a simple easy deed that can make a huge difference and you only have to go as far as your mailbox!!! It's the little thing!

And this is why we grow a massive garden and donate fruits and vegetables every year.
