Hello all I had my surgery on 12-5-18. I started this journey at 363 last March I am now 280 as of this last week. I am losing my hair, honestly it’s causing me a lot of anxiety and depression. I am taking my vitamins and drinking plenty of water. I push protein. I guess over the course of the last few weeks I am having a really hard time coping with the hair loss. I also am finding myself picking at food I’m not allowed to have, I also get sick from doing it. I know, just stopping picking. It’s not that I’m even hungry I don’t have an appetite at all. Does anyone else experience this? I truly never realized how food is a drug until now.

Thank you so much that means the word to me!

Been a while since I posted on here, I guess a lot is going on in my life and I needed a safe place to vent about my life and not feel like I am being judged. I have dealt with being overweight my entire life. It’s not something I wanted but it happened, it happened because I grew up uneducated about being healthy. At this moment I am looking at a September 17, 2018 surgery date for gastric bypass. Am I scared? Hell ya I am! In the past week I have lost my boyfriend, he just gave up on me, not an explanation, not a reason. This has been slowly happening for the last few weeks, I believe this surgery drew a line he could not commit to. Am I okay? I am sad, hurt, but I am okay, I am okay because here in a few months he won’t matter. He was 23 years old and this shows his true colors. I can’t have someone in my life or around my kids who can’t be supportive and help me through this. This definitely has taken a toll on me the last few days. But I’m a it happened now rather then later. My doctor requires four weeks of liquids. Three shake, one for each meal and then clear liquids in between, no sugar, coffee ect. I started weening myself onto this on Sunday. I felt if I didn’t train myself I would not being to do it. I feel like I am a mess… I am a single mother, and I kinda feel alone. My family is very supportive. But I feel alone. I do miss having someone to talk to and comfort me. I also fear I will never find love which I know seems a bit crazy. Really could use some motivation.
