I’ve had counseling . I know why I eat . It’s due to boredom. But actually it wasn’t the food . It was the alcohol that took me out this time. I was sober for 3 years . Flunked out of nursing school and picked up the booze . The pound cake back easily. Now I’m fight a battle on two fronts . I’m clean two weeks going on three taking it one day at a time . I’m bored but I’ve decided to come out of this pandemic clean and sober and lighter with new eating habits

I had weight loss surgery on January 17 2017 . I was 244 . I got down to 210. Today I am 245 . I started on some weight loss pills prescribed by my doctor ( topiramate and metformin ) my appetite is reduced. I can only eat about 2 chicken wings before I’m full . I ate a cup of food and was full normally I was able to eat what I was eating post surgery . I think I have a second chance here to get my eating under control . Can you guys give me some advice . I don’t want to f@&k it up. I’ve lost 2 lbs since taking the pills these past 4 days so I think they are working ......

Hi I have been prescribed topiramate 50mg nightly and 500mg metformin nightly for weight loss , has anyone else experienced any weight loss on that combo? And how much ? Thanks

Hey y'all, had surgery on 1/17 .. hw 256 , sw 243, cw 233.... haven't lost any pounds this week.. 3rd week

For me , a con is the amount of food I'm able to eat... I didn't want to eat the large portions I was eating but now I'm eating less than my toddlers. And my life still revolves around food now instead of thinking about what I want to eat, I'm thinking about what I can't eat.

Maybe your pancreas if it's not your gallbladder?

My incisions are healing nicely , the glue is coming off but when I sit up I'm in so much pain. I'm good if I'm laying down but sitting up for more than 10mins and I feel a pulling and burning pain. Any one else experienced this ? I'm scheduled to go back to work next on 2/7. I have a desk job but sitting is going to hurt if this pain doesn't go away.

I feel great. I haven't been nauseous or thrown up. I'm on mushies and can eat pretty much anything ... I actually don't purée everything , sometimes I just chew it well. I did this surgery so that I can eat like a normal person . Instead of eating 5 cups of pasta , I'll settle for a few oz... I don't plain on changing much of my eating habits , with the exception of McDonald's Big Mac.. I know that's gone forever... good luck to everyone

How much is everyone eating? I'm one week out and can eat 2 oz but still hungry a half hour later . When will I be able to eat more at least 4 to 6 oz?

I had ghi-cbp and empire as co insurance. Empire is the one who authorized my procedure so I had to do 6 months in stead of 3 ... follow up with your insurance because I was denied at first

I'm on day 2 post op.. still in a lot of pain..especially when I walk .. just finished some cream of wheat with protein.. it went down well ... no pain unlike when I drink water.. it feels like a cement brick going down

I'm in pain.. trying to walk is painful. And this is with pain meds. I've had 3 c sections and pushed out one so I have a high tolerance for pain but this is ridiculous.

Thank you for that . I screen shot your post so that I don't forget.

My insurance wanted 2 extra months of visits..

Surgery scheduled for 7 am. I'm scared. Not of the surgery, but of the change that's coming. I'm tired of being fat, but food has been my addiction for so long. I stop drinking, I stopped smoking , and now I'm loosing my last crutch. How will I cope with disappointments, anxiety, or When I'm having a good day and want to eat my favorite foods( all at the same time). What do I do with the emptiness?

I didn't want to post until I was approved because I was denied by my insurance back in November .. but I was approved baby!!! That's right 1/17 is my date .... and .. I was promoted to supervisor start on 2/15.... so I'll be starting my new job on the light side ... 2018 bout to be lit!!!!

My surgery date is 1/17... I'm going to start my pre op diet on New Year's Day

I'm going on one year with my locs.... I figured my hair would shed any way... i hope I don't lose patches

January 11

I confess..I had 2 WEEK pre op diet but was denied a day before surgery...I lost 11 pounds but gained it all back...now waiting for new surgery date to start 2 week diet again

I won't have my date until December 26...i was denied in November so I'm a little more subdued this time around

I won't. I'm actually going to keep doing the protein shakes Twice a day with one meal .so that I can still loose weight..I lost 9 pounds on pre op diet....mind as well keep that up.

Thank you for that...I'm in little Caesar...I feel better already
