I’m also so sorry your going through this. I went through something similar and you must stay strong and focused on your own needs right now. I had the surgery two years ago. Every day my husband checks my clothes and fights with me about what I wear etc. I am living my best life right now. I finally love to dress for work. But the best part is I’m healthy and vibrant again. So I say the hell with him. I’m sure you can find someone to get you there. Good luck and feel free to reach out if you need encouragement

My mother said she no longer wants to talk or see me anymore.
I’m so sorry you are going through this. You have made a huge effort to take control of your health and life. Do not let anyone get in the way of that. I too had toxic family members that I had to discontinue my relationship with. It’s difficult at first but my life has been so much more peaceful. Just realize that this is who your mom is and you can’t change her. Surround yourself with positive people who will support your efforts. Good luck!

3 week stall
I had vsg May 15th. I’ve lost 72 lbs. however I have stalled several times for weeks at a time. Ignore the scale numbers. I’m shocked to see I’ve lost 72 lbs after ignoring scale. I’m losing weight so slow now. I do spin class 3 to 5 days a week and lift weights. I’m lucky if I loose 1lb a week. It does come off eventually.

Pre op diet pain.
My heart goes out to you. I was on liquids for two weeks in May prior to surgery. I was so crazy. I found hot broth helped a lot and miso soup. On day of surgery my surgeon said liver was perfectly small and it made it so much easier for him. You must stick to this for your own safety. Hang in there it will be worth it.

So what are you unable to eat now?
Good luck

So what are you unable to eat now?
I too had sleeve surgery. I can tolerate most everything. However I have not taken sugar back since my sleeve surgery on May 15th. What’s the point. I don’t eat carbs cause I don’t have room. I eat protein first then vegetable last and then have no room. I haven’t tried pizza or big quantities of sugar. I have had popcorn and that is fine. Also meat is fine too

Binge eating-14 months after surgery
I agree a counselor can really help. Keep protein snacks in the house and don’t have anything bad in the house. Just realize we have all made a major change to our bodies and you must maintain this.

Post sleeve feelings
I had sleeve surgery on May 15th. I had all the same feelings as you. I’m over two months out and have lost 52 lbs. my surgery was a breeze and I took 3 weeks off. I have more energy than ever. I’m so glad I had this surgery. The sleeve has taught my head and that I must eat right and really listen to my body. If you let your sleeve do the talking you will do just fine. Good luck
