I, like many of you, have not been perfect in my post-op life. I love slider foods! I hate excercise! I check the scale too often, get frustrated, and then don't check it nearly enough! I have tried to put on clothes only to find they don't fit like they used to! And when I find that I am failing I feel like I can't find someone who understands. We made a choice to change our lives and sometimes we forget it is a complete lifestyle change! It is hard to change your whole life! Sometimes we start going back to "normal", eating the carbs and leaving the Protein, treating ourselves to cheat days. We forget that there is a new normal. The new normal is hard and it can be scary! But I am here to tell you that you can do it! You stuck to the program to get the surgery because you knew you had to do it for your health, for your well-being, for your life. This is the same. Right now you are only a few pounds away! Don't be defeated now! If you start now you are that much closer to your goal than if you don't change course! I believe you can do it. You don't have to give up! We all slip up. We all gain. What is most important, though, is that we can all fix our mistakes. Be honest with yourself, what can you change? Why are you sabotaging? Are you willing to change in order to feel better? It is hard to start, but once you do you will feel so much better. You will find more energy than you have now. It will get easier! You can stick to it and be successful! There are people who understand you! I am sorry that you are struggling, but I KNOW that you can overcome it! Yes, you CAN!

My mother, sister and I got the WLS, very supportive team we had!

My sister got sleeved last July, I was sleeved March 9th and our mother will be sleeved April 20th. I got to say we are happy to have each other as support. On the other hand we haven't told a lot of people. Only about 3 other people than us know. And they have been so supportive.
I hope that you family will turn around and rather than gossip be a support system for you. This is definitely not an easy way out.
Best of luck

I am 2 months post and I haven't experienced dumping. But I don't have a lot of sugar cravings either, only when Aunt Flo comes around. Even so, nutella and m & m went down fine. I guess it is different for everyone.
The issue I do have is, waiting to long to eat, then I am so hungry that I practically scarf my first few bites and then it happens. I gets "stuck". The pressure one feels sucks bad , and so then I toss it up to feel better.
Suggestion, don't stray from your diet. If you must have something, have it in very small quantity. But just remember, it is empty unnutritional food. It will give your body no energy. Energy and fat burning is all we need.
I do say this.... don't trust a fart.

All my paper work gets submitted tomorrow. I have a surgery date of Feb 9th if all gets approved.
Has anyone gone through this with medical in California? Any info will be helpful! Thank you
