Your story is very much the same as mine. I have lost and gained and lost and gained so many times. I used weight loss drugs, I took up running, I did it all. I can get healthy but I can't stay healthy. I have never been able to maintain it. I am a binge eater and it used to hit me out of nowhere. With my third child I got to my highest weight and decided it was enough. I had my sleeve done not to long ago and it has changed my life! It is a tool but it is a tool that stays with you for life and I just know it's going to work for me this time. I know I have to change my relationship with food and I am working on that daily so I am ready. I haven't weighed yet because I am only weighing once a month and the scale is another obsession of mine that I won't be controlled by ever again. I track my food and rely on NSV'S and I have had lots of them! Wishing you much good luck on your journey whatever you decide!

Stay away! I know it's hard but it's worth it. I was a coke junkie too but it has no place in my new life. Even diet coke has been linked to weight gain by causing cravings. Now no one wants that mess! Good luck girlfriend! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

You'll feel uncomfortable. For me it's sudden and then I stop Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

I have struggled with weight loss and gain more times then I can count. I have hated myself every time I gained it all plus more back. I have felt like a failure. I have watched my siblings develop type 2 diabetes and my head was constantly filled with shame about my size. My high weight was 235, preop diet I was 227, surgery day I was 217. My surgery was Nov 18, 2016. I didn't share my plan with anyone but my husband and you awesome strangers. Why? Because I didn't want to hear all that negative. That nurse has no idea what she is talking about. Don't listen, keep your head up, and we will see you on the losers side soon! ❤ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

It's all those fluids they pumped you full of. Keep drinking and flush those out and the scale will move...in the right direction. I promise!! I was so puffy that first week! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

You are so welcome! Girl, you will be awesome and you will never regret it! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Awesome girlfriend!!!

I love your attitude, you will be better without him. It sounds like he never deserved you in the first place. Praying for continued strength for you.

Only told my husband (and you awesome strangers) and he is sworn to secrecy not because I'm ashamed but because my personal medical decisions are no one else's business and I have never explained any of my decisions to anyone anyway. I'm a totally private person though.

I recommend going through BariatricPal Team MX and using Dr. Illan at the Oasis of Hope Hospital. My surgery coordinator was Bill Yanez. I had my sleeve on November 18, 2016 and I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful group of people. They are just a very special group. Best decision I have ever made!

My boobs are always the last to go...now my butt...that's another story.

I hate to hear this. I hope you are doing well now and becoming a MAJOR LOSER!

Welcome to the BariatricPal Team MX losers! I'm almost a month out from my surgery with Dr. Illan and feeling awesome! They are a great group of people aren't they? Take care @@Nathan Bliss and congratulations on your journey.

Yes girl! YOU WILL DO THIS! Thank you for the inspirational post.

Good luck guys!

Congratulations and looking good after surgery! Welcome to the other side!! My surgery was Nov 18, 2016
