Lol. I made a mistake. Definitely not looking for attention. I just shared an experience I had. My doctor told me that she had a patient eat a bag of chips. It happens. I'm doing well now. Thanks for the encouragement. Last time I checked this group was to receive support and fellowship since we are in the same journey. Maybe you guys need to reevaluate yourselves.

Hey guys,
It's me again. So I'm about 1 month and some changed post op. I had the RNY. According to my scale I've lost 39 pounds since then. I'm still unable to eat solids. When I eat it feels like it's stuck in my esophagus and I have to make my self throw up to feel relief. I'm slowly but surely increasing my Protein and Water count so that's good. I haven't started exercising because I have no energy.
Now, here's the problem
I don't see or feel a difference. I look the same. My clothes fit the same. I'm starting to believe my scale is broken and I really didn't lose anything because this is ridiculous. To me 39 pounds is a big number. I would like to see something. At least a dress size. I'm discourage because of it and frustrated.
When did you guys start noticing a difference?

I don't think I'm at that stage yet where I'm suppose to lose my hair. However, I take 4 Biotin pills daily. 40,000mg. I would be devastated if I start losing my hair. I hope it doesn't happen to me

Hey guys!!!
I follow a couple of people on social media that has had some form of weight loss surgery. They just had a meet up in New York and had a blast. I think it would be so nice if a group of us with the similar weight and surgery dates get together and a year from now plan a meet up.
In the meantime we can create a group chat (groupme, WhatsApp, text) and just share our experiences, before and after, recipes and etc.
Who's down????
I think a cool meet up location would be Virgin Islands

Thanks so much. I think that's the hardest part for me. I want to see my results. I want to feel better. I still feel like a fat log. I'm not looking for microwave results but a little something

It's been 1 month. "Drumroll please" I'm down 24 pounds. I'm happy with that number but I'm disappointed in my self because the first couple of weeks I didn't stay on track. If I did I probably would of lost more weight.
I'm happy though. It's a rocky road for me. I'm still not totally adjusted to this new life and relationship with food.

I just came home from surgery (3 days post op) and I ate a orange. It just totally crossed my mind that that wasn't allowed. I feel horrible physically and emotionally. I feel like a failure. It felt like a rock was stuck in my throats. I threw up what I could. I'm feeling a lil better and taking sips of Water but I just feel horrible. I took my liquid hydrocodone but I threw up most of that too.
Ugh. I'm just a disaster.

Thank you! I just had a slip up but it won't happen again. I just had to get back into focus

Okay! Here it goes.
I had surgery on the 17th of Feb. Today marks 2 weeks post op. Surgery went well. Spent 3 days and 2 nights in the hospital. The 1st day I accidentally ate an orange and almost died. The 1st week I did well. Protein Shake and Oikos yogurts and pain pills. The doctor told me to increase my Water intake but I just can't drink two bottles a day. This week I felt hungry. I was starving. The Protein shakes weren't cutting it. I decided to start soft food earlier. He's the confession. I would chew the food and spit it out. I had some meatballs, and fish, and food I know I shouldn't be eating. I told myself that because I'm not actually swallowing it then I should be fine. Today I feel horrible. I know that habit is a bad one and I should stop before it gets out of hand. I decided to start this week over and go back to full liquids. Today I restocked on protein, yogurt, Jello and water. I'm going to do it the right way this time.

@Soyounique thank you for support and reassuring me I'm not alone. I love this app but it feels like some people on here forget we are human and it's going to take time to let go of bad habits. I was accused of faking my experiences and just wanting attention. I'm being transparent. I'm being opened. I do it so people like you can help me through. I appreciate you. For the other people that were born perfect and obviously didn't need the surgery because they ate perfectly their entire life please exit and find an app for perfect people. [emoji1610]

@mikie0130 I'm committed. Trust me although my action show otherwise. I just had a couple of hiccups and thank God it wasn't worse. I'm back into the zone. I definitely don't want to sabotage my recovery. Thank you.

Thank so much. I'm staying positive and optimistic.

Amazing transformation! What was your starting weight and what is your current weight?

I'm sitting in the surgical waiting room. I can't believe this is actually happening. I'm excited. I prayed this morning and I know God is in control. You guys just don't know how ready I am to begin my new life. I understand that it's a tool and I would have to put the work in but the fact that it will help me to achieve my goals is awesome. I've been unhappy for so long.
Let's talk. I'm bored. Any advice? Encouraging words? What should I expect when I wake up? Pain?
