Can we all just agree that kale sucks? No matter how you prepare it, it still sucks.

Coke is like this, you will feel fantastic for like an hour and then you have to do more, I was starting to use coke in addition to my drinking when I finally hit bottom and got sober.
I am an alcoholic to the core, so I simply have to abstain from drinking. Having said that, I am an addict too and cannot use any form of drug or I will abuse it even something as simple as Benadryl. I will abuse anything that makes me feel good, hence my food addiction. I am a food addict and that is what led me to getting up to 440 pounds. Food was the only thing I had left to abuse. I was 9 years sober when I got sleeved and 3 months after getting sleeved I relapsed and almost died. Like literally almost died, my wife had to call 911 and I had to be taken to the ER. Why did this happen? I didn’t protect my sobriety and once I couldn’t abuse food anymore my alcoholism and drug addiction came back with a vengeance. I am sober today by the grace of God and very fortunate I did not die the night I relapsed.

You're getting your feathers all ruffled up and this is probably a prankster trolling like Ed_NW said.
RELAX

And I think you need some serious help. If you are doing coke and chasing it with alcohol, you have way bigger problems than can be resolved in a bariatric support group. Maybe check out some rehab centers.

I have no experience with this issue. The only advice I would have for you is to call your doctor's office and just fess up to what you did.

Weight loss forum?? If we're not using drugs how could we answer that question, you should call and ask your doctor I think he or she would have the best advice for you.
Good luck

TMI seriously!! You should know the answer to that question better than anyone on this forum. Stupid is as Stupid does. SMH

It's definitely a personal choice. I think it's totally appropriate for you to do whatever makes you feel comfortable. You may decide to not say anything for awhile and then one day change your mind - or not!

Everyone in my circle knew because it had been a long decision process for me and I wanted the accountability. Eventually, the transformation was significant and it stuck, so it was something I was proud to share. Now, I've made my journey my life purpose, so I definitely share with everyone I encounter if the opportunity arises and it keeps me even more accountable (I'm a therapist and I coach bariatric surgery patients, too).

"What got you here won't get you there."

You can tell the truth without discussing your surgery: portion control, low carb, seeing a nutritionist, etc.

I have told coworkers and family but I’m hiding from everyone that I’m getting surgery in Mexico. When I initially told them everyone was against it, then I said I’m getting it in San Diego now everyone ok. I don’t like lying I just want them to support my choice and trust that I did all the research

thank you for the reply and support

thanks for the support !

THANKS FOR THE REPLY
getting 80-90 g of protein a day usually chicken or eggs (and p protein shake for breakfast)
I love protein so that is no problem really - I guess I am frustrated bc i feeling like i am doing the whole thing nearly PERFECT and ?? I should be getting more payoff
this is a marathon - try to keep that in mind - Turtle wins the race - right

I know - trust the process
I am tracking every bite and all water - getting protein and h20 (eating under 800/day)
At 4 weeks only have 18 lb loss - very frustrated - and can not poop.
geez seriously - I know this will work - but I am seriously frustrated

Anybody pureed meat ??
I have been thinking when it is time - that might be the move - like make my own baby food ?

I have a can of chicken breast figured when it was time (only 6 days PO-not yet) will try to puree it.

I am 6 days post op - I know this is an older post
but if made me feel better so THANKS TO ALL
I am sooooo tired and I was getting scared thinking - is this my life now blah blah
I have a hard time taking it easy and patience - but I am going to HAVE TO TAKE IT EASY AND BE PATIENT

you really can feel that mess moving around inside you
I am 5 days post op and when I get up it is still (gas) shifting all around in my torso
It stops me in my tracks
gas x is doing nothing - you are right whom ever said that
uhhhhhhh

I am 4 days post op too
I thought I was hungry too
I am really not sure what the heck is going on in my stomach
I think my brain thinks i should be hungry - I am having weird feeling in my whole abdomen area
I really have no idea if it is hunger gas or ????
I was getting kind of bummed tonight - this liquid diet is a drag but maybe I need some better stuff
idk
I will drink my protein water and go to bed - hopefully I can sleep tonight
