I've been fat since the 2nd grade, I've had a lot of assholes in my life. But good on you for being confident!

First time ever- a couple of coworkers noticed my weight loss and ask how I Did it. What's the magic pill!! No I just had my stomach amputated so I could no longer shove food constantly in my big fat lying face.but I paid for it, so suck my balls

I have to be honest and say I drank it up until 2 days before without issue, but that's just me and I was bad on my pre-op diet, I wouldn't suggest it.

I eat a lot of carbs, I don't pay attention to what I eat, just how many calories. That's my biggest addiction right now and I am struggling

I love beer, all beer. Before surgery, I completed a couple beer tours at my local pizza place ( that's 220 beers). Post surgery, no fun no more. I drink a few sips, and that's enough, you can't even drink enough to get a happy buzz before it becomes uncomfortable. Beer is fattening anyway, I don't miss it day to day.

Oh are those the nut/ham/cheese packs? I saw those at the store yesterday, just a bit spendy for what you get... I got a lunch able instead and some cute tiny spaghettios, kind of naughty.

I love the quiche squares idea, what kind of unflavored protein powder do you use?

I've been eating way too much toast, need some ideas!

Whatever you do, don't take it a couple days after surgery. I did this without thinking..and..ouch!

First day back at work-6days after surgery- they gave out gourmet cupcakes. I picked at this chocolate cupcake all day, it was so good and naughty

You won't have to give it up for long, I went back on it a couple weeks after. In fact, I am heading out soon to get a grande something!

I agree with being honest, there should be a website/thread where people post pics of themselves and get back honest, constructive feedback. I would want to know if my clothes were so tight someone noticed my pubes-lol.

i take enough acid reducers that could kill a small horse

I ate popcorn 5 days later, grounded to a paste

I went to Mexico to get mine and coconut water was something I could drink right after. I normally hate it, but it was the very best thing in the world right after surgery, it made everything feel good, easier to drink than water, and better than broth.

I don't really understand the concept of 'head hunger' when I'm hungry, I eat, it goes away. I don't see the idea of it. Except sometime I think I can eat a whole cow, and it only takes a few bites before I am good....

Nice, you are young and it should be pretty easy to lose a ton of weight, I wouldn't worry at all, I wish I had this done when I was 15! don't forget to exercise and you can't go wrong..

Yes, it was quitting smoking.. That tore me up, and not having sweets on top of it made it worse. Take it one day at a time. It will bbe so good for you. Smoking is horrible on the stomach, and increases chances of complications in before/after surgery, keep up the good work and look towards the future.

Low bmi-re checkin in. My boobs went first, I am still trying to find the correct bra size. My knees feel better. It's still hard to lose weight, you will have to work at it. You won't see the 50 led drop in 2 months. Socially, I've gotten used to it. At restaurants, I pick at my food, move it around, fake disgust, box it up and leave..no one really notices or cares. I don't regret my decision, I know I've dodged some major health issues. I know I will never be a stick, I just look more normal and less 'American'

Honestly, I think some people like a good kick in the balls, it's motivation!

In the waiting room to get my surgery I had heard a whole group talking about being glad they won't have to deal with excessive hunger anymore, and how they know so and so that had it done and now have to remind themselves to eat. I did the research and it was interesting about the hunger hormone cells being removed with stomach and the chance of going away. For me, nope nope nope no and oh hell no. I am hungry all the freakin time, I am hungry 2 hrs after I eat anything. I've gotten into a snacking little rut I am trying to break, but dang- I myth busted that for myself. Maybe I need more protein, but that would of helped the hunger before surgery as well, there is no change whatsoever. Only thing that changed is the size, good thing there are not enough hours in the day to eat that much.

What kind of antacid are you on? That could be a major player in this situation. You should really expect the puking part at your stage, nice, thick creamy foamy puke. Good luck

I feel the same way, I weighed the same as my skinniest weight ever, but all I see is fat. It occurred to me though that I had much nicer hair back in the day,it was a bluish black...maybe all you need is a spunky new haircut/hair color...

You could do a colon cleanse and a sauna session, or just be proud that you are going in the right direction.

They should give you some anti anxiety stuff before they wheel you into the operating roo
