Hi, guys. Just wanted to share a progress pic and Celebrate with you all. Went to the sleep doctor today, and for the first time ever, I didn't dread stepping on the scale.

I enjoy moving more and have so much energy.

You all gave me tons of candid insight into the process - thank you! Was a great choice for me.

That's really great that you have given a visual reminder to everyone that it isn't just the scales that we can use to show progress as we lose.

Yes I'll admit that I snickered! You are over thinking this a bit. If it can be mashed with a fork and it goes through then you are good to go.

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 !!! What im trying to say is that i had the gastric sleeve and im happy with it it had its ups and downs put make sure your steonger then it!

Dec 1st here! My only real difficulty is the gas pain, but gas x is my friend. I am learning to ignore the smells of my family members' food options....I try to eat my creamy broths at the same time. I'm 1 day into full liquids. I wear socks on my hands at night so that I don't scratch my itchy scabs. And I'm up to 15 mins walking per day! 1 week, 15lbs down. No regrets

Don't forget the Diet Coke......

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.

(So the OP is not from the Divided States of America. She truly did NOT know what bugles were.)

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 .....

But:

I read it all. It's fine everyone needs something to laugh at. I apologized this am. If people are still making fun of me it's fine... I had a really bad day yesterday if it brings humor, name-calling so be it. I learned a lot from it all. It is supposed to be supportive I agree.

Or this group (mmmmmm Susanna Hoffs)

Just suck on it till it's mushy.
(That's what he said.)

You could perhaps purée the beagle. I mean he is Protein....
My dog just looked at me funny....

You're not alone. I'm 5 weeks post op and had the exact same feelings! I didn't realize how mentally challenging this process was going to be. I knew I was an emotional eater, but I didn't realize how much I associated comfort with taking a big bite of food.
It's starting to get easier now that I can eat real food again. I just keep thinking how in a couple of months we'll be saying "it was the best decision I ever made" like so many other sleevers! Hang in there, it does get better!

I had my sleeve done Wednesday.. I was on a 2 week liquid diet and occasionally lean mean at dinner. I didn't cheat once.. I made it through thanksgiving and all the leftovers without touching anything.
I'm not hungry and I recognize it's just head hunger and cravings but im just so sad because I'm just mourning all my past habits, I suppose. I see foods in tv or commercials and just crave it. I guess you can say I'm in the regret stage of it all. I think once I can move on to at least full liquids and keep progressing I'll feel better. I'm hoping...
