Ironic. Someone posting about others Grammer hasn't got their own Grammer right. Perhaps people should just focus on themselves so they don't end up looking silly. It's just a forum not an essay. There are people on here from all walks of life.. Who perhaps type fast as they are busy with other tasks. Or have a learning difficulty. I don't care how someone types. I'm here to support people.

I'm pretty sure you missed that I was being facetious, hon. That's ok. [emoji6] Cuz I woke up with happy feet and just have to dance! Everybody dance, everybody dance! Everybody cut footlose!!! Woot! [emoji3]

I'm offended by children being abused and trafficked for sex. I'm annoyed that drug dealers do more time in prison than sex offenders. i don't lose /loose any sleep over spelling and grammar.
Have you considered you may be bashing and ridiculing people with learning disabilities for spelling and grammar. You might as well kick a puppy while you're at it.

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..

Hey, I totally get you! But I find it amusing that you said ALOT... [emoji14]

Okay I don't post much but I read ALOT. And something has been really really irritating me. After seeing this grammatical error more times then I can count I just can't take it anymore! ! I understand it's not that important to some people but honestly there's a huge difference between lose and loose. Lose means you lost something (weight etc.). Loose means that's something doesn't fit anymore( loose skin, loose clothing, etc). Thank you and that is all.

I am a year out from surgery tomorrow. I had RNY 11/07/16. I lost 155 lbs. Now I have gained back 15. I'm stuck because I suffer from Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety. I go to therapy weekly and group every other week. I also am on medication for my mental illness. All I want to do is eat. I don't drink soda or alcohol. I get around 50-60 grams of Protein a day. The rest is sugar and carbs. I feel so hopeless and like I've let everyone down. I can eat a whole box of Cookies in an evening. I try to drink calorie-free things. I do well for a couple days and just do soft foods and track my calories and get protein, then I get depressed and overeat. I don't want people getting onto me but I'm getting suicidal due to this problem. I can't get big again. I'd rather die. I have an appointment for a one year checkup later this month and I'm so frustrated and depressed that I feel worthless. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any advice? I'm in DBT and therapy and trying everything I know to do. I'm a college student and always on the go, I need some help. Thanks in advance.

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

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 🤔

I hope your wife doesn’t mind me telling you this. I’m not trying to be a catalyst into a man unhealthy obsession [emoji23][emoji23] but the models name is Fluvia Lacerda she’s a very popular plus model. I thing she’s Brazilian or something. I’m in fashion so I be knowing lol

You could link to it instead of posting a tiny screenshot from your phone.

On an unrelated note, who is that plus size model on your profile pic? Because I am in love with her.

Eating a lot of carbs may be the issue. Losing 30 pounds is no small feat and you should not consider your self a failure. As the poster above this points out, we all lose at different paces, and dependent on how much in total you have to lose. Maybe you should try using a meal tracing all like myfitnesspal if you're not already doing so. It helps keep me in line and lets me know what I'm lacking in a day. I am following a high Protein and fat, low carb diet, and it seems to work well for a lot of people. Speak to your nutritionist and see if they can give you and insight on how to make it easier on yourself. You've always got this community here to help you out when you need it.

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.

@soready17 i feel your pain i self sabotage too. I haven't lost any weight since 9/26 down a total of 39 lbs only 14 since surgery on 8/11. Starting weight 256.6 in November 2016. I have been eating chips (not many like 3 or 4) and cake (like 3 oz) not a lot but I know I shouldn't! So please don't shame me I'm already shaming myself for being stupid... anyways I don't get sick when I eat these things and they are part of the old me which I cant seem to get rid off. At first when I started drinking and eating and I felt zero restriction/pain/sickness I thought surgery had failed... but my dr assumers me I'm doing well. Trying out hey back on track

I will agree with what [mention=311272]Berry78[/mention] said. Complacency is sometimes a symptom of low level depression. And as a parent and wife you are a caretaker, and we sometimes neglect our own needs and feel guilty asking for more or examining our own issues - 'I have to make dinner, I have to drive kids to sports and I don't have time to relax, or even think about myself.'
I take wellbutrin and it has made a huge difference, it has few side effects and litlle to no withdrawal if you want to stop them.

I suspect, based on a lot of what you said, that you don't believe simply sitting there and talking will make that much of a difference. So why carve a chunk of time and effort out of your day to do it.
Anxiety is EXHAUSTING, and you have no energy because of it. You will pick up the phone because you are going to see if meds might help. Medication, combined with therapy, might be just the leg-up you need.

There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s sounds like you’re not connected to what’s right in you. Did you ever think of individual or group therapy or OA meetings? Or maybe start a healthy eating cooking group. Keep seeking an answer and you will succeed. Thank you for your honesty. It’s rear and appreciated. We all need to hear you and support each other.

It's really hard and frustrating when you know what the problem is and you can't seem to do anything about it. We have all been there. I have been seeing a psychologist since I decided to follow this path as I knew the surgery was only part of the puzzle. Obviously I had an unhealthy relationship with food to get to this point.
Your delay is partly because you are scared of what she/he will say. And you know that you are sabotaging yourself. This makes it all the more important to ring...... I'm not going to psychoanalyse you on the basis of one post, but honey, you are the only one who can pick up the phone. Why would you put yourself through this and then not do everything you can to make it work??? I know how it feels to look at foods that were once your lifeline and struggle with thinking "I may never eat you again" but trust me, a good psychologist will work through this with you. If you are not seeing a dietician regularly, may I also suggest you do.
Good luck hon, you can do this

Having a hard time the last couple of weeks. Sleeved on 8/21. Down 40 lbs since pre op diet, and weight loss has slowed to a crawl. Starting weight was 242, and no I am almost to onderland but have not lost for 2 weeks. I know I am not eating too much, and the hunger is still gone, but dang the lbs were just melting off and now nothing. I feel good where I am, and people are noticing my weight loss but I still have about 50 to go, and i hope it comes off... I have gone down 1 pant size to a 14, but had those hidden in the back of my closet, so I didn't have to buy anything. Just wondering when this stall is going to break. I know I should be thankful that my weight loss is slow, everyone keeps telling me it helps to not have saggy skin, but dang. I am impatient. Hope everyone else is doing well. I know I am only 2 months out, but it seems like forever and it also seems like people have lost a lot more weight at this point. [emoji20]

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??
