  1. Went through same feelings...I think its depression from not being able to enjoy food. It's a sad thing from a former foodie. Watching others, and you cant. Anyhow. Pretty soon you will get through this phase and it will all be so worth it
  2. Hi. What brand is your flavorless
  3. #1 thank God You are still alive and capable of writing this post. You have been through so much. God is so good. #2... so often we (especially women) dont speak up out of fear. Well please...he just as strong as you had to be the day you learned of your cancer..and speak up. If not for yourself..do it for someone else. Someone else who may be not as mentally strong as you are..someone who might hear such rude talk and go home and contemplate suicide..or cry for weeks straight. Speak up. I chat tell you just how to do it...I'd personally do it simply by meeting with your PA and ask for the surgeon to come in as well for a important convo. Then just tell them. I'd also put it in writing. Tell the surgeon you also emailed him prior to the appointment. And that you hope this never has to be mentioned again because you have not intentions of speaking about it to anyone else but just felt the need to speak up so that no other pt. Has to feel the way you felt. Remember..if you dont say anything..they WILL do this again.
  4. Yes this is definitely probably the cause
  5. Wow. That sucks . Ughhhh. I pray it normalizes
  6. Yes..I kinda weigh myself every morning and night. Maybe I need to relax
  7. During that time. Did you do anything differently?
  8. Thank u. I'm forcing the protein in. Feels like I never really eat..so why we ont it come off
  9. Sooooo...my period keeps stopping and starting, spotting and not spotting. Any one else experience this? How long will this last? Heavy then light then none at all, then bam back on. This sucks.
  10. Hi. I'm almost 6 weeks out from sleeve. I was down 30 pounds..but I keep gaining and loosing 2 pounds. I can go to sleep at 218 wake up at 216...or vice versa..its so odd. Anyhow. I have not lost anything in about 2 weeks. Is this normal? I'm hoping I didnt just have my tummy removed to only loose 30 pounds. I'm eating well..following rules..and exercising 3 times weekly
  11. Ughhhh. I'm gonna try harder starting asap..I really dont have the face for a short cut
  12. Thank you. I need to force it in..my hair is shedding bad. My only protein source is through food. Its beyond hard for me to swallow. Can't stand taste
  13. I did the enema today. Worked immediately and so much relief. I definitely waited too long. I wont let that many days go by ever again.
  14. No didnt try that. I did the enema and that immediately worked.
  15. I am beyond constipated...feels like a babys head is stuck in my butt. 1 month out of sleeve. What to do? Its painful
  16. Thank u so much. I needed this
  17. Ctfuppppp lmao...this is such a good idea.. Imao. .
  18. Thanks. I like this response. Simple and to the point
  19. Recently was sleeved..and basically I've lost maybe 30 pounds in 4 weeks...people keep saying.."omg your soooo skinny" "Wow your loosing alot of weight" "dag how much are you trying to loose" all these comments are said negatively..not positively. I'm getting so annoyed...I have not shared that I got the sleeve with these people..and I'm sooo glad I didnt. I'm still 220 and they call me skinny. However, I really dont understand people. When your fat and ur back is hurting you cant breathe..people suggest you eat better and lose weight. Now that weight is dropping they look at you in discuss. Soooo irritating. How can I handle this..what can I say to shut these people up.
  20. Some people dont have filters...I assume she meant well. Just didnt know how to say it. Smh.
  21. Wow. Your getting in alot of protein...may you share how you manage so much in a day. After surgery my tastebuds have changed most brands make me sick, I cant stand the flavor and my belly doesnt hold much food..so protein by way of food is hard. What is your secret [emoji5]
