    I cringe every time I see a response from you...if God gives her comfort then so be it. You may not believe in God but don't take away from those that do. I really pray that God humbles you to be nicer and compassionate to others.

    Then why do people pray? For strength, direction, for help, for others. It's nice to have someone to count on that will always have our back without judgement when we choose either the right or wrong path....unconditional love is what most people seek from God and soul care. People lack in unconditional love it's very rare.

    I do miss eating normally sometimes though, yeah. I'm at a scouting event with my kid and the other folks are eating deep dish pizza and chocolate cake. I brought a Protein Water and a sad little bag of chicken meatballs.
    It was fine until they decided they had extra pizza they "didn't want to go to waste" and like six people offered me a slice.
    Get thee behind me, Satan.

    Everyones experience is different. Personally, I burp and pass gas alllll the time. i only get acid reflux when i get hungry (i know its weird). The main thing that happened to me after surgey is it totally ruined my relationship with food. Which at first i was mad about but now i know thats really what i needed. My taste buds have changed and i dont enjoy eating or having sweets anymore. However, i feel good, im looking good! I sleep so much better, i dont get winded easily, back pain has decreased, i enjoy going out and doing things, i dont dread getting dressed in the morning. the pros outway the cons!

    Taylor, I am in a similar position. We will lose more! There’s no way we won’t !! Id love to hear others stories too (just to be sure! Lol)
    I started at 330 and am now 270. I feel like I’m Losing slow. And while I’m not complaining it is frustrating to see everyone lose quicker. And even more frustrating to hear we all lose differently. Grrrr , we know that and hate it
    I am soooo grateful for my loss so far though. I’ve never been able to lose this much and keep it off. Soooo even though I only lost 4 in November and 3 in December - I’m grateful for it.
    Happy new year to everyone!!

    Anyone else lose slow after they had the surgery? I hate to be one of those people who complain but it seriously gives me anxiety. Anyone else feel like the sleeve didn’t work? I’m 4 months out and 48 lbs lost. I started at 335 and now I’m at 287. Will I lose more? I know a loss is a loss but most of it came off the first month and now super slow. Any advise? Anyone who lost 10 pounds a month hit 100 pounds lost? Just looking for similar stories.
