I hear there is always buyers remorse until your back to solids.

@jesseforg123 It should get better once you can have "real" food which doesn't pass through the stomach as quickly, as long as it's not "head hunger" you're going through.
Some people also say it's excess acid that makes the hungry feeling. Are you on a PPI? (I never had acid reflux before surgery, but now I do and have to take the PPI or I'm pretty uncomfortable. It's not a bad trade off)

Hi everyone, I was sleeved going on a year ago and am at my desired goal weight 135. Ive lost 75 pounds and am very happy about it. Im a size 8 and am the size I was in high school. Most family and friends give me compliments but some people are starting to tell me now that my face is looking too thin and then they go one to talk about how when they lost weight their faces started to look sickly and sunken in. They have all gained weigh since then.
I don't really feel that this is the case for me-sunken face-,and quite frankly i can be very critical of myself on my own. It actually hurts my feelings because there is nothing I can do about it. Its not like im going to gain weight just to make them happy! Im so grateful that i had the opportunity for this surgery and that it was a success. Normally when people tell me about my face looking small, I say "if that's the only repercussion to this surgery- Ill take it.!" Theres a part of me tho that wants to get angry and lash out and critize them and their looks, but I do not. Im grown and know better, and respect others.
I honestly don't like people who think its ok to criticize others on things they cannot change. those are not my kind of people. However , some of these people Im very close with and are family.
Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do?

Here are my before and after pics.

I haven't lost anything in few months and a new diagnosis of sjorgens has kept me from pushing any workouts past walking (which I still do daily) put I am still determined to get the last 20 pounds off and keep them off. I am still learning my body with this new condition and at least this weight loss journey that I was already on prior to diagnosis is a benefit.

I had surgery at 7:30 yesterday (4.26.17)
And I am feeling so blessed. No gas pain no nausea. One slight has bubble that is hard to get out but that's it. Thank you guys for the support.

I'm 2 weeks out....went back to work after one week. I'm doing great...so far loss 12 pounds

I'm scheduled for the 26th. Feeling a bit nervous. Excited but scared! Lol. Good look everyone!

Apr 26 sleever too!

Im on 4/26 too!

I'm in the waiting room and I'm super early, I think I was a bit over enthusiastic to get here. No one is here yet. Butterflies are seriously taking over my body.

See you on the Bench

I am also on the 26th. Would love to buddy up.

I'm scheduled for April 26th. Looking for support buddies too.

I had RNY done by Laura July on April 4th. She is absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for me. Good luck with your surgery! You'll be in great hands.

Got an approval within 48 hours

Just got my surgery time, 5am on the 27th. I'm first in the line up [emoji3]

That is awesome. I still have to do the psych eval and 2 or 3 visits to the dietitian

Yes my surgery date is 4/26

@CarmenVSG2017 fingers crossed I get moved up.

April 25th

I purchased the nectar in fuzzy navel and I am in love. This is going to be awesome to mix up with on my pre op diet. My goal is to just have a semi large variety of things that I can have so that I am not getting bored yet, at the same time I am following my doctors recommendations.

I'm scheduled for April 26, too! Can't wait!

I'm April 25th
