    I cannot get a date to save my life and. Am on 3 dating sites. What do you women want for crying out loud. Just meet me and you will love me. That's all. Give me a chance. I am not ugly at all.

    I hadn't been on a date at all in about two years and I finally decided to try dating again, I am very far from ugly, inside and outside, the guy never called me back and I've never had that happen to me EVER! Just know that when you meet the right person it will be worth it. I'd give you a chance based on this letter alone. You sound very sincere and maybe these women don't deserve you and your niceness. You sound awesome to me. Some women don't appreciate nice, good honest men.

    OK, so I am very involved in the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Michigan. On Saturday we attended a fundraiser and I had no less than 10 people pull me aside to talk about my weight loss. And all 10 of them told me, "Well you don't need to lose any more weight or you will look sickly." I thought that was pretty ballsy. Who are they to tell me that I don't need to lose any more weight? Maybe I should have gone to them to perform the RNY on me since they have apparently all been to medical school. Mind your own damn business people and just be happy for me to be healthier.

    Sorry, my rant is now over (it has been gnawing away at me since Saturday night). Please continue with your day.

    These so called well wishers are just jealous and think we should do weight loss on our own no surgery, well in 2013 I was up to 238 lbs and I'm 4'11" my bmi is at 42, five years later I've managed to get down now to 204-210 but I fluctuate all the time. My own mother had more confidence in me when I quit drugs than she has for keeping the weight off. I dont get it but I dont care anymore. I'm doing this and I'm gonna do it right now. I've tried long enough to do it alone and I don't feel guilty asking for the tools I will receive thru wls.

    Wow. No nice restaurant has a kid's menu? While I don't necessarily disagree with that statement, I would not have been so condescending. Your insides don't seem that attractive to me.



    When I was younger and not overweight at all I used to order off the kids menu all the time because I couldn't eat a full meal and although I don't go to fast food restaurants that much if it's on the menu it can be ordered, they don't know who your ordering it for and to hell with them if they do. I simply couldn't eat an adult meal and am looking forward to never having to go to fast food ever again it does nothing healthy for you at all.

    I liked the idea of dumping too, but it really doesn't happen for me. I can overeat (slightly, I still have a pouch after all!) sugar and carbs, and while I don't feel great, I wouldn't call it dumping. But I'm not that disappointed, although I do need to be more responsible for my eating now that I'm two weeks away from being two years out.

    It can be a struggle, but when I get back to basics, it's much easier! I have to be honest and say I have been far from perfect and even had weight gain. I'm learning a lot more about why I eat, things I'd never considered before. I admit this is something I've been working on for 30+ years but hey, I'm a slow learner!! And yes, I know I should have done that pre surgery, but I thought I had. Then I had to go back to work after a year of not working (nine months after surgery, and at my goal weight) and it took me a year of being back at work to realize how the compulsive urge to binge is directly related to work stress.

    Stick with the basics for as long as you can, and if you ever stray or have regain, just get back to basics again. Most importantly, no liquids with meals or 30 minutes before or after (or at least 15 minutes), meet your Protein and liquid goals (whatever yours may be) and eat your protein first. That's the rest of your life. I might not be the right person to answer this because I'm still taking two steps forward, one step back getting back on track, but I do know the rules, even if I don't always follow them!!

    Bottom line? You absolutely have to change the way you eat for the rest of your life. I wouldn't recommend following my path but if you do, don't beat yourself up. Just pick yourself up, and get back to basics asap. And stay plugged in to groups. Socialize with other bariatric patients, in all stages of the journey. You can do this!!



    Thanks for sharing my surgery date is June 21st and I'm constantly worried about my binge eating disorder. It scares me so much.

    I'd like to set up a Facebook june sleeve group. Anyone interested




    Scheduled for June 21st. Already adding unflavored whey isolate powder to everything, doesn't taste too bad either, I bought the six star brand at Wal-Mart. First thing I mixed it in was lite strawberry yogurt and it mixed in with just a spoon.

    I now know that I should have been pulled from my BP meds first, because I was having very low BP before long after the surgery. I should have got a wrist BP cuff before my surgery. We had two arm ones that were left over after my dad passed, but those take two people... I asked his doctors about the wrist cuffs and they said that those were not as good, yet the next visit that's what they were using.
    I was taking a lot of Rx. Cholesterol and BP were 'prophylactic' just to ward it off... They dropped the cholesterol pill first. But, I left the hospital taking all my meds.
    I guess we're all different, but I should have been more proactive. I know my body better than they do. I knew I wasn't feeling good. It took 3 months before I did so. I started dropping meds as it made sense to me.
    As an aside. I'd never been drunk, ever. I've got nothing against drinking, I just never felt the need. But, the few times I'd have a margarita or 4, I'd still be sober. Now two swallow of tequila or rye and I'm practically falling down drunk... I ought to keep it by my bed have two swallows and go to sleep very easily. Hah.

    You might reconcider drinking alcohol as I've heard it causes ulcers and our stomachs are small enough to do some damage.

    I keep up with my doctors and insurance company just to touch base, the first time my paperwork went to the insurance they said there was an issue because my drs sent too much info and they couldn't download it. Yes i couldn't believe it either. So now i will call them on Monday to make sure they resent it. Things don't just happen, unless you help them along and let them know you are watching, files get misplaced people sit on things. I'm just gonna help them along, after all this is my medical health we are talking about.
