Stories like yours are what keep me going on the days I don't feel like working out. I've lost about 45lbs so far after 3 months and I can't see a difference yet. It gets discouraging but then I read posts about success after WLS and it motivates me to keep trekking on. You look amazing. Congrats on your achievements.

Its been a long journey ! I havent posted in a long time and I regret not posting my journey. Its been 10 months since my gastric sleeve, the first few weeks where very hard I will tell you that. I dont wanna scare anyone or even someone that hasnt done to read this and change there mind! Dont change your mind we all went through this path and its a life changer! I was a very very big guy in others words i was fat. Everyone used to make fun of me and it hurt me!! Like really bad, I use to eat to forgot my pain the more i ate the bigger i got witch got me bigger and bigger till my doctor told me to stop but i didnt listen to anyone didnt care i was very depressed all the time all i thougth about was food and sleep lmaoo ! I swear till dis day i laugth at myself. I was 325lb 150kg i was a bigg guys. I im currently 170lb 75kg. I got to my goal 2months ago and my goal was 85kgs :S. I droped 10kgs in 2months!!! My last check up was 3weeks ago and my doctor told me to stop dropping. He told me if i keep dropping i will have bone problems and back pain. He said i need to start eating more of a fat diet like Cookies fried stuff etc.. I can eat them twice a week and the rest of the week eat my diet. But dont get me wrong i fell bad that i have to eat those things again! And plus i can only take a few bits and im full !!!

Good morning everyone!
I just wanted to share my excitement this morning... I hit a stall that lasted 2 weeks... I finally broke out of it and starting dropping weight again.. as of this morning I am down 154lbs!! My first goal was to lose 50lbs then 100 then 150 next is 200.. I'll admit the stall was a drag but man am I ever grateful for this surgery.. I wouldn't have been able to lose this much on my own ever.. I still have ways to go but it's the best feeling ever. Yes I hate the drooping skin but I love not being 465lbs!!! If your feeling bad or hit a stall don't worry so much..it's temporary

Maybe we need a forum for "I just want positive feedback and permission/absolution and don't want my butt kicked over bad decisions" so people can post there and get all their warm fuzzies and bad information there, and the vets and people who are serious about their success can not bother.

No, not "end of discussion". I didn't say I was going to block newbies, I said I was going to block newbies and ANYONE who comes in guns blazing and name calling. I am here to support people, not to watch someone give good advice and be called an a-hole for doing so.

Sheesh.
I think Rants and Raves shouldn't be included in the regular feed. You should have to intend to click on it, and even possibly have to click through a disclaimer saying you understand that it's Rants and Raves and agree not to get butthurt.

Let's get married.

Different time changes for few of us, hence we can't all know about "the latest post, etc"
As I mentioned earlier, I was puzzled about bugles, not sure if we have it here in Australia.
At first I thought: "bagels", this reminded me of beagles that I adore, as well as pugs.
I am sorry if a certain poster or two feel offended, this was NOT Personal !!!
So, for goodness sake, have a bugle, bagel, beagle, whatever
and listen to the Buggles:
And to all the hangry people, put a smile on your dial, not everything is about you.
As for being called a "BULLY", I choose not to be offended.
Feel free to read all of my 1,000 plus posts and find one that I was "bullying" someone, especially a newbie ...
This anger defies logic. This is why most of the great people here are leaving or left already.
BP will be run by Newbies full of non-experience and lousy advice.
Merry Christmas to you all.

I just can't with people really.
I am not by any stretch of the imagination a vet. I'm not even four months out yet and I struggle everyday to do right by my new normal - especially since, as they say, they did surgery on my stomach, not my brain.
However no one out there can possibly think for a second that eating any kind of chip during such a drastic attempt at weight loss is advisable.
This isn't joining weight watchers and going for an evening walk - this is committing to an extensive process of evaluation and undertaking major surgery.
I'll support people who want to lament the mental and emotional difficulties of wls. I'll support people dealing with side effects or unexpected lifestyle changes as a result of wls. Ill support people who hit road blocks. I'll Celebrate with people who are finding joy on the journey.
But if your eating the same crap that got you into this mess that soon after surgery you should just expect to get roasted. I don't really care what info you had or didn't have - some things are just common sense.
Pull yourself together and get with the program.
Ironically I didn't even respond to the original thread - but I saw an opportunity - as the proud owner of a meaty looking beagle for some levity and I grabbed on.
Perhaps my comment about the crunch was a little too much - but then occasionally I can be a little snarkier than I plan to be.
I'm not proud of that - I'll discuss it with my conscience later.

I had no idea what bugle was, apart from the obvious.
Learnt that these were chips; well, learn something new every day
Now I have to check the junk food aisle in my supermarket here .....
Warning: Satanic Entity who dares to have a sense of humour, in Rants and Raves of All places!
No name calling (except for myself ), no links to a thread, .......
SMH
But:

Yes, you have my attention!

Do you know how to make a hormone? Don't pay her.

Thank you for that very instructional post, not sure why you thought you had to school me on carbonation. I'm just looking to encourage and be encouraged not be drilled down like you did.
Thanks anyways. Have a nice one.

Hello! Just came across this thread tonight. No, I'm not gay, BUT I just so happen to love everybody!!! Regardless of orientation, religion, race or nationality--we're all living on this green Earth! I wish you well on your journey & I look forward to your updates!

I personally favor the Premier Protein drinks. They are already made so all you have to do is grab one and go. They actually taste pretty good. I believe there are about five different flavors of them. Bananas and cream is my favorite.
