Shrimp is a food that always makes me sick, which is disappointing because I used to love it and the Protein in it is great. As for leftovers. I usually find they are too hard for my stomach unless it's a Soup. Then I get that stomach pain that doesn't go away so I have to vomit to make the pain stop, cause it'll last well over an hour.

I drink coffee daily, as they changed my work hours to having me busy at 6am. My dr never had an issue with it, younger guy. As long as I'm hydrated I think he's fine with it

You rent clothes??? From where? That's amazing! I have lived in Danskin capris for years. Almost feel like it is a uniform. But, I do need more yoga pants so I may be headed back to buy some in smaller sizes. Gwynnie Bee. They have a month free, if I refer you I get $25 towards my monthly bill, you get your month free still Win Win. Either way, worth looking at, seriously.

I was going through my clothes, I used to be a 24W, 3X and I was putting them aside cleaning out my closet, etc. I'm a L and 12/14 now. I bought a bunch of shirts less than a week ago, so I set aside the ones I really loved and didn't want to get rid of. Now I'm on a sewing project, bought a sewing machine and resizing the ones I love. It'll take awhile but well worth it to me!

I've lost 55lbs since surgery on Jan 27th. I was losing about 3lbs a wk, now I'm at a stall for 2 weeks, then lost 3 lbs from last week. Not on a regular exercise program really yet. I walk a lot and see a trainer on Mondays, but then my kid is around all the time so I don't have workout time cause she's usually cranky after I get out of work, husband is at work, so I don't feel like dragging her to the gym

I don't know much about it but do your research and talk with the surgeon/team to determine the best for your personally. That's how I'd handle that. After my RNY I had gastric reflux apparently (didn't feel like it) that was found via a barium test due to frequent vomiting from week 2 until about 4 months post-surgery. It wasn't the cause of the vomiting, that was due to my esophagus randomly spasming.

You are doing great! Seriously, keep it up. Don't focus too much on numbers, focus on you!

My hair comes out by the fistful. I brush my hair and like 5 strands stick together and come out. I recently dyed and cut my hair to about chin length for it to be less noticeable, and that's helped. Yes, the hair is still coming out, but when I look in the mirror I feel less self-concious.

I've had the same issue, but what made me realize it was one day when my husband told me to buy a pair of pants for myself because I wore leggings since after surgery as they are very forgiveable in regards to weight loss. I grabbed a size 18, he told me to try a size 16. A 14 is what fit me. That's when it clicked for me. I cry sometimes cause I don't feel like I've changed my size but that's normal. It's okay to feel this way, just don't let it take over your thoughts.

I also feel like I could've written that. I've cried to my therapist several times about this to be honest. I have those days where I feel like I've made no progress, or I'm not making any more progress. I jiggle my stomach or thighs and want to cry. I'm around 180 right now, we started around same size, etc. I feel this ALOT. One thing that hit home was when I actually put on a size 14 pair of pants, and this past weekend shopping for size Large shirts, which I haven't worn since high school. It's hard. I try to use those moments when I feel down or don't see what others see, to realize how far I have truly come and how much healthier I feel.

Hope it gets better soon. I'm sorry. Not fun.

I had those feelings too. I wouldn't start the diet now, but I would practice what you've learned for post-surgery. One bite of cookie, maybe, but focus on what you need to do after the surgery. It gets easier, promise! Don't lose sight of your goal.

Congrats, I remember that feeling!!!

I get head hungry where I think I can eat a "normal portion" such as a whole chicken breast, and after like 4 bites I'm done. As in real hunger, I don't really get it. I just look at clock, decide it's whatever meal or snack time, and eat my item.

They sound like losers to me. They sound like desperate soles and noticed you, so they're clinging to a lie to get what they want. I've never had this issue but I also have my profile on FB as private and don't have exes at friends. I'm too old for wasted drama anyways, you sound reasonably young so this happening doesn't surprise me.
