I'm across the border in WI but work in Eagan.... so I'm in MN daily

I was approved by my insurance prior to the surgery and then after I had jumped thru all the hoop they denied it saying it wasn't needed. My Dr fought and it was approved two weeks later. Keep appealing and fighting!

I am 3months out (gs) and I am down 78lbs

Congrats u look great

I am 13 months out and I cannot hardly eat anything. I have sooo much restriction it's crazy. I don't know if my surgeon made my sleeve too small or what, but it absolutely painfully hurts if I eat too much, I just simply can't. I'm constantly thirsty and Water is difficult to get down. However I was able to reach my goal and even exceed it in very little time. Eating is just not enjoyable at all anymore, it's very disheartening! I eat about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese for lunch and can only get down a half a bowl of Soup for dinner. If I'm hungry between I just snack on chips, they go down easily and I don't feel hungry. I am under 500 calories a day, I can really eat anything I want because I'm restricted to just a few bites, but am maintaining my weight since November. I did lose most of my hair, which is slowly growing back. It's been a hard and winding road!

I am only 3 months out and I'm lucky if I can't force myself to eat 1/2 cup to a cup a day! I love to look at recipes and pics of food but can't stand the taste of really anything. The Dr told me I should be eating 5 to 9 times a day but to me that's impossible.... I'm steadily losing 1 to 3 lbs every 2 to 3 days.

I am a 31 year old mother of 7 and I had my surgery May 26th 2015. My starting weight was 298, at my 3 month check I was down to 222. I have lost 78lbs. I'm happy about the weight coming off and have awesome supportive family, friends, and coworkers. The problem is I have a hard time making myself eat and I know I'm not eating enough. Plus even tho I'm happy part of me is depressed and sometimes I feel so alone. Everyone tells me how good I look and things like that but nothing fits right and I just don't see what they see.....

Just wondering if anyone else had similar issues.....
