Sarah M.

Lying in bed, sleepy, medicated, tired, but ok. Woke up throwing up a few times, that is NO JOKE! Hopefully tomorrow will better.

Day 2 post op. I’ve been home since yesterday. This is no joke. I know the pain will get better, but right now I do not want to touch any Water or Protein Drinks

Day 6 post op and god im getting sick of the liquid diet on it for three weeks now :@ I think when i get back to solid food ill never have a Soup or broth again..

Hows everyone doing so far? Going to weigh myself tomorrow for first time post op. Doing it every Friday from now on which is my surgery day. Feel like doing it once weekly might be a bit healthier for my mind than doing it sporadically.

Mine too!!! Got my call this morning with my arrival time. I am so ready. Good luck to you ladies!

MY SURGERY IS TOMORROW AS WELL

Hey Irish- I was feeling exactly the same way and lost focus. I took a gulp of Water and regretted it about 10 seconds later. Luckily i kept it down, but it was a painful reminder. But, i am happy that i am slowly learning the signs.

Im scheduled for surgery Dec 21. Im more worried about the pre op and post op liquid diet and my nosey coworkers than I am the pain and holiday meals!

Admittedly I'm jealous that she seems to be putting very little effort in and seems to be doing well. I am not undermining my own progress, I've lost 120 pounds so far, and 90 alone from surgery. I have completely overhauled my diet and life. But I am still jealous of her ability to eat whatever and still lose weight.
You are working hard and seem to being doing things the right way for long term success...You've lost over 100 lbs and that speaks volume. Please don't feel jealous of her but feel sorry for her because like the other posters said, her weight will come back unfortunately and guess what...those same people trying to get you to eat junk will be talking bad about her and saying that she should have been like you and turned down the junk food. yada, yada, yada...It's her life though.
I know people as well who's had wls and did the same thing, never changed their eating habits or lifestyle and the weight has returned.
Keep doing you, we are proud of you and here to support you.
PS: You may want to distance yourself from her so as to not pick up her bad habits, be around positive people that are going to motivate and encourage you. 😉

BeanieSprouts by all means you are totally normal. I would have a hard time not thinking the way you are. BUT first you come FIRST. Start by you have lost 120 lbs. in 8 months!!!!! WOW Go back and look at some old photos and then at your current pictures. I'm sure you will see the difference. Second you don't want it to come back on and have to start all over again. Always think of the future picture of where you want to be. Plus if she is a friend she should be supportive of you.

Thank you everyone so much! Rationally I know everything you are all saying, but it's so nice to hear it from someone else. ❤️

Just call any of the local hospitals. They will tell you if they host support meetings. In my area, all the meetings are open; it doesn't matter where you had surgery. Good luck!

My opinion is, every body's reaction to the surgery is different, having the same surgeon dont have to mean same result, the purpose of the surgery it to learn how to eat healthy and less portion to maintain the best results for longer time possible, u r unique, don't put ur self down by comparison to a non healthy lifestyle, otherwise why did u had the surgery in the first place [emoji6]
