Thanks Sue!

Thank you so much. I was really becoming discouraged! If anything this motivates me all the more.

Wow! You look amazing! Major congrats!

Finally! This was my first goal. 8lbs away from onederland. That’s my second goal. Surgery on May 22 and I moving at a snails pace but I’m still thrilled. Just wanted to share cuz I’m all kinds of happy today!

I didn’t get the report but he told me I was a risk taker (I carefully plan!) and that I was cheerful but manipulative! He said I don’t follow rules and go my own way. It was all so odd. Then he wrapped it up by saying none of it was bad. Mmkay. I let it bother me for about a day then I cheerfully conned a guy into letting me bungee jump for free while refusing to wear the harness.

Glad you were feeling well. How are you doing now? (Missed this post originally)

I had this image of a sweet little sewing bee woman....well that’s gone! This made me laugh so hard! Hope you’re feeling better today.

Ah, ok. That would be rough as I’m not a fan of either.

Wow. That is so unacceptable! Glad you’re feeling better now.

Happy to see this update! Congrats to all of you!

When you say jelly is that like smuckers grape jelly or something else?

My Dr tested me for nicotine. Does your team not test you?

That’s exactly what happened to me. I got buzzed fast and it wore off fast. It was weird. I did drink before six months. It was a one time thing as I rarely drink.

I’ve not noticed any jealousy. But I also do t feel I’ve lost enough weight yet to have experienced it. Most everyone in my life is incredibly supportive. Either that or I’m blind to it. Either way I haven’t noticed.

Once. The day I came home. I fight vomiting but it actually made me feel better. I was nauseous after surgery but they gave me medication and I felt better fast.

Ugh I can’t even imagine how you must feel. I’m so sorry. Don’t give up though. You’ve struggled and gone through too much. Have your day of pity (you deserve it!) and then do your very best to get this done. It sucks now but some day it’ll be a memory and behind you and you’ll be on your way to better health. But, ugh, that must’ve been crushing.

I did a two week preop. Two shakes a day, protein and a salad, and two approved snacks. I lost 15 lbs. I was kind of shocked.

Good luck to you both!

Yay! I’m ten lbs away and can’t wait! Congrats!

YOU are doing great. That’s a lot of obstacles very early in your journey to be faced with. Coming up with healthy alternatives is work but you’re doing it. I’m actually feeling and doing much better since I posted. I stopped making poor choices and started logging again. It feels good!

Every time you post I feel better about my slow loss. It can get discouraging (although I sabotaged myself last month) and then I remember what a success you are!

I was the same as you! My pain was minimal, no gas either. I tolerated everything great (new foods). We are so very fortunate!

I feel normal at five months. I can’t eat much still but I can eat anything (blessing and a curse). Besides the amount of food I can eat I wouldn’t even know I had surgery. Very pleased and down 47 lbs

My symptoms were pain in my stomach radiating to my back. Sometimes I would vomit. The pain lasted for hours. It was awful. Had my gallbladder out two years before surgery and haven’t had any issues since. Best decision ever.

I wish you all the luck with your surgery!
