I thought you had happy feet though and you would go prancing around...apparently that wasn't so. You don't have to agree with me or even like me. And you saying I'm a newbie and you have to get to know me before I can make posts like this is the dumbest thing I ever heard. Thanks for calling me a b***h though that was really nice to read this morning. As I said before I didn't mean to offend anyone honestly oh well. To each their own.. my goodness Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

You know what's funny I was looking for posts that would mention this difference in lose loose so when I didn't see anything for 2 weeks straight I felt I had to mention it. Lol Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

This coming from you is what's ironic lol. At least I don't personally attack people and judge them. I see what you post on others threads. This was a general service anouncment not aimed at anyone in particular. The last thing I would think you do in this forum is actually "support" people. So don't attack me...as you usually do when someone doesn't agree with you. Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

And I'm pretty sure you missed the fact that I was just pulling your leg. Wow what an uptight group if people. Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

Lol you mentioned something about over reacting with your meme...and now look who's over reacting (insert eye roll). And I highly doubt anyone on this forum has a learning disability because they can't tell lose and loose apart. I was purely trying to give a small "lesson" for people to differentiate the two. You can take my post with a grain of salt. Why are you so uptight? Talking about sex trafficking and what not- holy hell. Not even going to elaborate on what's important in the world and what's not.

Actually you guys are taking my post all too serious. Never thought it would be so offending for you honestly.lol and my replies were harmless and I'm not making fun of anyone. I am an ESL teacher and this is a pet peeve of mine. I'm sure you all have some type of pet peeve. Jeez.. Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

There's also something called contractions "honee" (I'm sure you mean honey [emoji13]) There is = there's Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

Haha u got me... but that's a pretty innocent one to make could have been a spelling error...but lose and loose?? Cmon!! Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow u look amazing... my 3 month surgeversery was yesterday as well. Congratz! I had sleeve surgery however. I lost 38 pounds 45 with preop... what are your stats? Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey everyone, just curious on how everyone who had their surgery on the 14th of August (give or take a few days) are doing? I'm doing okay, I guess, but I could be doing better honestly. I'm not working out as I should, and also making poor choices with food. I lost 19 pounds first month, 8 the second, and 6 the third. Total 33 lbs. I want to lose at least 10 this November. My stats: Height: 5'4 Hw: 313 SW: 295 before preop...286.4 day of surg. CW: 253 GW: 175 Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey girl I can imagine how you feel. It's an all encompassing sense of dread and fear and a feeling of failure and sense of panic which makes you turn to food. I've been there. Although I have never actually saught help I would imagine I have anxiety and depression issues. I am almost 3 months postop vsg. I can totally imagine myself in your shoes. One thing to remember and which I remind myself daily is that "this too shall pass". I do turn to food at that moment but it passes and I eat more healthily because at the end of the say I want to be healthy and I just have to never give up. Good luck to you and hope you feel better. Soon you will come to the realization that you are stronger then anything that is thrown at you. Have faith in your ability. You can do anything. *Hugs* Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

On another note and also update: the really bad day I posted about me eating carbs. I think I ate over 1300 calories that day maybe 50%was carbs. That next morning I lost 3 pounds. I don't even know why or how that happened. Obviously I haven't repeated that bad day and have been doing well. It was just weird and shocking that I lost weight...considering. weight loss is so confusing 🤔 Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in love too-with her body though- not her lol. She's goals to me. But I think she's way too tall for my average height of 5'4. I need another goal body that's comparable to mine. Also, I have no clue who she is...snagged the photo off of a plus size modeling instagram page. Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

I was doing really well with my protein and and my water but not seeing the scale move made me turn to food (carbs). I do track everything on my fitness pal. Today has been the worst day so far...horrible eating and just lack of care for myself. Thank u for your insight though...I really do appreciate your advice and comments. Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

I got sleeved mid August. ..have only lost 30 pounds as well. And mine isn't even a revision.. first time sleever. Feeling like a failure as well. Eating all the carbs I can fit into my tiny stomach. Stress eating has always been my coping mechanism. The weight loss stall is just making it worse. I have no support or friends or even acquaintances that have had the sleeve. Only support I get is from this forum. Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

The reason why I eat those carbs/chips is because they don't make me feel uncomfortable and they sit reeeeally well in my little tummy. When I eat meat my stomach make crazy sounds and it just doesn't feel good. Obviously that's not the only reason...I'm not seeing the scale move so mentally I'm saying fu** it. I'll just eat whatever which is what got me to my highest weight at 313 lbs. I guess I should be happy about not binging with countless cookies and chips but with just one mini bag of cheezit. Still the idea behind the binge is making me feel out of control and scared! I don't want to fail but my actions are speaking louder then my words. I guess the first step is to actually admit I'm sabotaging myself and to be patient with the process and stay consistent! Ugh I need help. Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello August sleevers... I've posted on here a few times always complaining about something. They were relavent complaints but I find myself now not knowing what exactly is wrong with me. Just some background info... I turned 30 this Aug. and I feel like I've always had an excuse for not losing weight. This wasn't right or my family this my husband that....basically my circumstances and environment made losing weight difficult. What I've realized is the circumstances will never be "right" for me to lose weight. There will always be issues especially with having 2 children and working full time. How i actually handle these situations is what determines my success I feel.It's been 2 months since I had my sleeve. Started out at 286 and now sitting around 257 for 2 weeks. So about 29 pound loss. The issue I am dealing with now is eating the wrong foods. And I have come to realize I have anxiety issues and emotional issues with food. The emotional aspect I always knew I had but the anxiety realization is new. I'm not sure what to do. No I KNOWwhat I need to do.. I need to pick up the phone and make an appointment with my psychologist. So since I know what I need to do why don't I do it? Why ignore this need for support and help and keep doing the things I'm not supposed to? What's wrong with me?? Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I am ready to try new things to help me succeed. This surgery is not enough. I need to fix what's wrong in my head as well. That's awesome that you have felt a difference and I'm hoping once I get the right help I will feel better as well. And you are right being a caretaker always makes a person put themselves on the back burner and tries to fix everyone's else's problems. I alredy took the first step to take care of myself and that's having this surgery. I need to complete the task and MOVE ON. Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

Sounds about right.. it is exhausting but I am just now realizing that what I do have is anxiety and fear. Of what? I don't know. I will definetly make that phone call. I need to push through this wall of fear and uncertainty. I am certain of one thing however... if I don't get in control of my bad habits I will surely fail and this terrifies me more then anything! Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you for that perspective and I do believe your right. I always focus on what's wrong more then what is right. I've thought of all those things it's just my anxiety and fear is keeping me rooted to one spot and I don't understand why. I hope I can get past this soon. I agree we should support eachother more. In my case I need to reach out more. I appreciate your comments and words of encouragement. Thank you! Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you so much for your response. Honestly everything you said hit home and I really appreciate your input. I'm the type of person who doesn't reach out for help and tries to do things on their own. I'm just at a loss and I needed someone to tell me to not fu** things up for myself. I feel like I'm headed downhill and I have no brakes to stop and fix the problem... at least that's how it feels in my head. I realize now that I do have a problem and I am going to make time tommorow and call my surgeons office and explain what I'm going through and get a referral to a therapist. I don't want to fail. I'm saying this with tears in my eyes. I reeeally don't want to fail. Again thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. God bless you. Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app

I feel the exact same way. Was sleeved Aug 14 and lost since preop 37 pounds and for the past 2 weeks stuck at 257. Starting weight was 286. So frustrated but I know my choices in eating chips and carbs has something to do with it. Actually it might have everything to do with it. I try to hit my protein goals and water before I have any carbs..if that even helps. Averaging about 700-1000 call everyday. I feel like I'm blowing it. The surgery will go to waste. I keep sabotaging myself and I can't seem to stop. Ughh Sent from my SM-N910C using BariatricPal mobile app
