It is difficult. @LCamacho83 my sincere condolences to you. I can relate as I have experienced loss of my mother as a child and my aunt and uncle in adult life. I can tell you that my weight gain as a child and young adult contributed alot from the loss of my mother. My aunt and uncle raised me after she passed. To cope with loss, my uncle would often take me out to eat or treat me to a very unhealthy diet. You can see where I am going with this....
It wasn't until after their deaths, that I needed to go talk to someone. Therapy HELPS IMMENSELY! I haven't gone back since I've had my son July 2016 but I KNOW I need to. I need to do it for myself. No one else!
I wish you well on your journey! If you get off track, there are always people to pick you up! You just have to look for them! Good Luck

Day 7 of 2 week pre-op diet. Good times, indeed!

Thank you all for the encouraging words.
To : Beautfully Flawed I just got released a month ago to regular exercise ( other than walking ) so I have been trying to swim/ aqua classes 2-3 times a week. My surgeon said " Ok now I dont consider walking exercise anymore cuz you have to walk to live............but to help you get in shape you have to do more so go for it and start swimming again. He is tough in a great way...........doesnt baby you. He really has helped me more than just the surgery

I had my 3 month check up today ( 12 week mark ) . I was hoping to be at 70 lbs loss. I am at 73 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited. Also Nutritionist said ok to eat some summer melon, berries, Tomato , cucumber if I feel I can tolerate it. She said introduce one at a time see how I do. So excited to have some fresh fruit again, especially now in the summer.
Go back in 12 weeks for my 6 month check up. My Goal for myself is 100 lb loss total.... and get my A1C to 5.5 ok...............I am on my way..........

I’m scheduled for July 26th. Doing my pre op diet. Good times!

I have a 7 and 13 year old. I was honest with them. I said I was going in for surgery to make myself more healthy, so I can go for walks and hikes with them. My son was upset because he also worries, but I hugged and reassured him a lot. After the surgery they were helpful and supportive. My son still worried a lot and was upset but now two weeks out he sees a difference in me already.

So sorry for your loss Does your provider offer support group or can you look into some type of additional support that can help on top of a reset?

My second day of post op isn’t bad as first day, I’m walking around all over the place

@courtb86 I would try to chew on ginger. Yes, raw ginger. Just peel the skin and chew or suck on it, put it in Decaf hot tea. It's spicy but it's natural and tends to rid nausea almost instantly. Did for me in my first trimester. I wouldn't drink any carbonated bevs as this point just because it isn't a good idea for a bariatric patient. Good luck to you and your baby.

25th!!!

@jodi1980 ohh poop! I’m using the app on my phone. Lol

And nope that’s not bad at all! Eye candy is a good thing!! Haha

On the desktop version, there is a button right next to the "+" that says "quote", just click that and you're golden...

@Kella112 is it bad that I am married but think my surgeon is a "Richard Gere" from "Pretty Woman" type of cute....LOL Look but no touch

NZ surgery 31st July. Excited but nervous.

Sleeved May 17, 2018 down 39 lbs since surgery. Enjoying the journey! Just started in the gym

Just wanted to send out good vibes to everyone having surgery this week. I’ve had other surgeries and was very nervous about this one. It is turning out well. Best of luck to all of you!
