Nurse_Lenora got a reaction from EducatingtheMasses in Any other gay sleevers out there?
Does anyone else feel that weight is more of a stigma in the gay community than in society in general?
I think maybe even more so for men....

Nurse_Lenora got a reaction from karmanodrama in Gastric Bypass Surgery Ruined My Life
Reading the OP once again I truly feel you need to see someone.
I know it's extreme but have you considered an inpatient stay to address your issues with depression?
It seems like everything is being blamed on the surgery and sometimes it's not that simple.
Please seek help from a mental health professional before making any major decisions like seeking reversal surgery.

Nurse_Lenora got a reaction from ProudGrammy in Reintroduction
So, this is my reintroduction I had a sleeve done Feburary 2016. I lost roughly 115lbs. Felt great!
Recently I have slipped and regained weight.....time to regain control and finally reach my goal weight once and for all! So, I am back to the board for camaraderie and inspiration.
This week I am back to a liquid diet, much like being preop and I'm loving how tiny my sleeve feels !! Love it !! Time to take control back....once again...

Nurse_Lenora reacted to chiquitabananaz14 in Back to basics and really doing it!
Hello my fellow WLS peeps. I am on a mission to lose 50 pounds that I have regained. I am feeling hopeful and know that getting back to basics will do it. I would like this thread to be a place where we can come and be transparent and accountable. I plan on checking in with a weigh in every Monday starting tomorrow. If you want to join me, let's do this!
Heightist weight: 289
Lowest: 157
Goal: 150
Attached is my before surgery pic, me at my lowest and where I am today.
May God bless you and keep you️

@Nurse_Lenora
i remember you
sorry you gained some weight.
important thing is you are
acknowledging that you have/
had a problem.
doing liquids now is a great
jump start to loose some weight
at a rapid speed. (making you feel
good) then continue with all that
you learned as a newbie. (water,
protein, etc.)
turn around -support is always near by
good luck

Nurse_Lenora reacted to teedsg in Reintroduction
Welcome back! You can do this. Sometimes we have to get back to the basics to stay on track. I haven't been sleeved, yet, but I will be on September 8th. I battle with pcos and crazy cravings. But, I know it's those stupid hormones being out of whack. Let's crush it together.

Nurse_Lenora reacted to OutsideMatchInside in Amazon Announces post-merger Whole Foods Will Stop Gouging People
I have been a Prime Member since it existed and I have shopped with Amazon since 1999.
I'm done with Whole Foods, nothing will get me to shop there again.
I like shopping at Lucky's Market. I completely gave up Trader Joe's and While Foods for Lucky's. The shopping experience is better, the sales are great and the regular prices are fair and affordable.

Getting ready for a wedding today. Figured I would take this shot and compare it to one I did about 6 years ago. I was indeed at my heaviest weight at the time. And I dont even need a belt to wear these pants.
