Isnt it crazy now looking back at yourself and your like dang that was me. Its like we didnt notice just how big we got ourselves till we lose a bunch and our eyes open. Congrats on ur weight loss you are stunning!! Keep up the good work!

How exciting the new you gets a new body! You are going to love whatever you have done. Take a before bikini pic and then a couple months after so we can all be envious.

So ive lost 32 pounds sence surgery on may 31st. Feel like i weighed the same as i did before surgery but i clearly dont sence i have so much more energy now. Ive been going through all my clutter cleaning everyday and my husband has Noticed a huge change on what i do. I actually fill up water balloons and squirt guns and run around the yard with my kids geting wet when before i sat on my bench and told them to play. Im more hands on. I feel like hiking and that is a saying i think i have never ever said in my life. My husband has something going on anxiety or depression but he wont stop eatting marie calendar chicken pot pies. Yummy little suckers but there 1000 cal each. He thens has a snicker ice cream bar which i do take a small bite of :). Hes gaining weight and eatting horrible. He wont talk about whats wrong and he didnt use to be a stress eatter i always was he was the type that starved himself in times of stress. I guess its bothering me he is eatting so un healthy. He doesnt eat vegys or fruit unless i serve him it for dinner. This new me wants him to be healthy and i dont know how to get him there with me. Also he wont stop touching me its ticking me off.. lol he keeps touching my boobs or trying to get in my pants when the kids r around and then i turn him down he says im no fun and im an old hag. I try to explain i dont like touchie feelie stuff in front of the kids there 2 and 5 knowing there in the room is not sexy time.. im kinda getting grossed out by him. He doesnt brush his teeth every day cuz hes lazy now and he has death breath. He only takes 1 shower a week. When i take the kids in the spa or to play some thing outside he sits on his phone on the couch playing games on his phone. All he wants to do when he isnt working is watch tv. I used to be a couch ppotaote but lately i just want to get up and go so i started cleaning things out and organizing them while he watches tv.. he gets ssd when i dont want to just watch tv with him thatbi always have to be doing something. Its like that used to be the only thing that bonded us was the dang tv. He started taking depression meds but doesnt take them everyday like he should unless i remind him. I feel like i have 3 kids its driving me nuts how he is. He keepz taking naps around 5 o clock everyday on the couch and then doesnt sleep well at night and gets up and eats. Hes only 32 he doesnt need naps they screw with him at night. He takes anything i say and turns it around as if im being mean when i mention or suggests he do something different. Im outside the otherday picking weeds in the yard he comes out and says good job and goes back in to play on his phone. Hes no help and its getting to me where i dont want to spend time with him. Weve always had a rockie relationship but now its different and dont really know what to do. He thinks its annoying i want to put my 5yr old in soccer cause he already does karate and im like i want to get him more active he just wants to play on his tablet all the time and i dont want him being lazy. Kids need to use there imagination and get outside and hes like ok u do that with them. Ugh im just feeling down now. Thanks for listening to me vent!!

Okay im complaining about my husband again, im sorry i dont have anyone to talk about it with so anyone reading sorry to vent. my husband turns eveything i say and somehow thinks i said something else and i try to correct him and he says thats not what i said. Weve always had a rockie marriage and almost got divorced last year. Ive always loved animals and recently got involved with a friend saving a dog at a high kill shelter on the euthanized list. So i want to rescue animals and help them find someone to love them. My husband likes animals but would be fine with having one. Everytime i was dealing with the ups and downs of finding a rescue to pull this dog i was trying to talk to him about it all and hes like this is making you have an attitude and i have to look at him and say this isnt making me have an attitude your just being a insensitive ass and not being supportive. I tell him this is what i want to do it makes me happy and he says im going to ruin our marriage. WTF! Im so angry ive been eatting stupid crap like chocolate chip cookies and krispie cream donuts. Im so angry i know im emotional eatting and i can stop tomorrow. Haha! But he wants me to pick the animals or him. He started saying if he was sick and the cat was sick id pick the cat over him.. well the answer is kinda but thats only because i believe animals are innocent creatures and need our help hes a grown a** adult and can take care of him self. He is a freaking baby! I havent had such a big blow up with food till today and feel so down. I feel like i have to pick to keep my husband happy and just be happy with what i have or say i want tk do what makes me happy and save animals as i can. I dont know but im down!

Just wondering at what stage is ground Turkey ok to eat.? I used to love lettuce cups with ground turkey avocado , few olives and tomatoes is that all food u cant have till ur past soft food stage and eatting normal??

I wasnt supposed too start vitamins till 1month post op. I started eatting yogurt and other food earlier than my surgeon said so he said to start vitamins when i wasnt on liquids anymore at 2 weeks Every docter will be different. Mine wanted me on liquids for 1month and pureed for 2months i went rogue the 2nt week and did my own thing. It worked for me. Wish u luck with ur weight loss.

Full liquids are a nightmare! But soon enough you will be able to eat portions ,chew, and it will be nice. I had the sleeve done may 31st 2019 and i was 237 day of surgery, today im 194. So things get better. For me i regretted this decision every second of every day till i got 2months out. Things got so much better after that and i dont regret as much, still annoyed at the lack of knowledge i had about this surgery but feeling happy and more energized now!! Best of luck!

This was actually a question i asked 2 weeks post op and my surgeon said it was fine to go in the pool and to enjoy my summer. He said just take it easy in the pool dont go crazy by doing flips in the pool or anything for the first month.

I know how you feel! I have done the hcg diet. A few times and lose 40 pounds in 40days and this life style change is hard. I wish i could go back but i cant. We made the decision to do it and were stuck with it. I thought i would be losing faster as well. Im 5'4 and currently i weigh 197 i started at 237 day of surgery on may 31st. So on average i lose 2 lbs a week. Im not exercising which so many people say u shouldnt others says you should. I walk 13,000 steps a day but thats about it. I need to work out but time is a problem. Have you tryed eatting more protein and drinking your water and uped you excercise routine. Maybe u just need something new or a change in scenerie³ are u pooping enough maybe u need some 100cal packed 95%fat free popcorn to eat. Maybe the fiber will hellp clean u out. Good luck with everything. Sorry if any of this is spelled wierd i took ambien to go to and its kicking in so i better run but if u pm me you are more than welcome to vent as much as you want aviut the wls process ..

And kcgirl makes so much sence!! The process is hard but you will love yourself in a few months watching your body, energy, mind strengthening skills that u will have and love. Do the sleeve ao much more longterm success. You can do it!!!

It sounds from your past experiences that the sleeve would be nost helpful for you. It will force you to change i think you will be hapoy with the sleeve. My mom had the lap band seceral years ago and had complications from the band and had to take it out she gained back alot of the weight and wish she could have the feeling the bad gave her. I dont believe the balloon is worth the money and with you bouncing back to your old ways and gaining then losing i dont think the balloon would be best. Personally i feel like the sleeve which is minimally invasive will push u to lose the weight. And then u will belosing so fast and be so happy you did it.

I ate peanut butter almost 4 weeks post op. Still eat it and love it! The fat or calories dont bother me. I only have a TBS on a spoon when i do and take 10mins to lick it off. Its helped me the most actually with this process. It got me through the day and gave me energy. Everything you eat has to be eatten in moderation no food is going to be off limits for the rest of your life with wls. I believe people just say no because once you have a lick they think you wont be able to stop. I need to feel sane and normal im not going to eat like a protein drinking nut that only eats veggies and healthy meat. Cant do it. Thats not my reality. Every body is different some could use more healthy fats than others. Every morning i have that TBS of creamy skippy and it works for me. My docter said no to everything his reasoning was cuz once you taste something you crave it and once you have say 4 wheat thins 6months down the road you are eatting the whole box.. thats not me so i do me now so to speak and eveytime i go in to see him he says whatever im doing is working for me and keep it up. So best of luck on your weight loss journey.

I am alittle over 2months post op and 39 pounds down. I started at 237 day of surgery on may 31st. I am 197 today! Goal 140 I am losing 2lbs a week with just getting my steps in everyday. I make sure to get in over 10,000 steps with my fit bit. I tend to walk about 13,000 steps a day.

I have a problem drinking enough water. I was introduced to this product and love , love it! It comes in alot of flavors online. Ive tryed lemon lime and passion fruit. Costco by me now sells it. Its like drinking 2 - 3 bottles of water with just drinking one. I like the taste and drink one everyday unless im out sweating up a storm in 100 degree weather then may have 2 but it deffently helps with dehydration so u get all the fluid your body needs. This may be over sharing but my pee was dark like orangeish brown for a few days i kept saying to my husband im lretty sure my body is dehydrated. I was hardly drinking anything id only go to the bathroom once a day and i got this and amazing how well the color changed in a few hours to clear and stayed that way ever sence i started drinking a packet every day sometimes two. Anyways just thought id share.

Is anyone experiencing post op alot of hormonal changes with ur self? My whole back and thighs covered with acne it is so bad i went to the docters thinking it was bug bites. It wasnt!! He said there is definently something hormonal going on. I wasnt a teenager with acne problems so now being 32 i feel gross. My docter gave me antibiotics and steroids to help it go away and he is also having me do lab work to make sure my body is ok inside. Anyone having similar issues? Is it because of the WLS i had or what im eatting? Im frusterated and it hurts to where a bra. Ugh!!

Omg i know its so annoying. As a teenager everytime i was on a binge for a while eatting fried food and desserts my face would breakout a few here and there but as soon as i started eatting healthy they went away. Now with eatting right i didnt think acne was even going to be a thing. I havent gotten back my results from my lab work yet but very curious to see if it shows anything going on with my body or a whole lot of nothing.

So its definently a personal preference what you want to do. I dont shave much because my stomach hangs over in rolls from my c section scar. I while ago and when i did shave i was out of breath trying to shave those hairy things. So i told my husband dont touch my legs im only shaving them 1month. Lol. I laugh now but it was a real chore to shave. Well looking back i shaved the day before surgery and was sooo happy i did. They have tolook at ur legs and put the compression socks. I was happy everytime a nurse came to change something i felt good about myself cuz those legs were shaved. Maaybe get a pedicure too. I did that too the day before surgery and was happy in recovery.

Thanks! It is yummy, and goes good on salads or fish hope u like it!

My mother did the same thing to me last week. She brought homemade banana nut bread and chocolate chip cookies to my house. It was nice but she wasnt thinking. She knew i give in alittle with my temptations of food. Its the way my mom is i just dont take things to personal anymore and let it go cause shes alittle bit of a beautiful airhead like myself. Like mother like daughter is how i start noticing in myself. Lol.

Im not as far along than alot of you. I had surgery may 31st. So like 8weeks post op. I was 237 now im 201. I try to walk 13,000 steps aday. I try to get at least 3water bottles in a day and some Gatorade zero and once a week i have a sugar free red bull:) For breakfast I eat a fried egg nice and runny on the inside with avocado and 1 turkey bacon. Lunch is hummas and protein chips or a quarter of a healthy choice frozen food or tuna salad Dinner i like making homemade greek yogurt, avocado, cilantro dressing to put with fish and cut up tomatoes and cucumbers or pork with cooked veggies. Snacks are grilled zucchini and broccoli, or greek protein yogurt, almonds or a tbs of peanut butter or a few slices of jalapeno cheese or some watermellon.

Im 8 weeks post op and my stomach still doesnt like ground beef so i think it depends on ur body and how its healing. I can eat new food every week. Its a process i still cant have chicken ether, i think because they were so dry , so sad. Ive had pizza actually about 2inches of it last week but it wasnt as great as i remember i used to love papa johns now the smell kinda makes me go eww. Cheese doesn't taste the same kind of a yucky taste. Anyways i can eat off the menu at a restaurant i just eat like a 1/2 a cup of fish and grilled or steamed veggies and i try to talk to who ever is with me so i dont inhale my food and make my chest hurt. U will be able to eat what some say is" normal" but u have to be careful u dont want to get in bad habits especially early on. 4 cheese its turned in to a whole individual packet. Lol Not GOOd! I do crave them now everyday i have to resist the temptation cause my kids love those things and they go down so easy!! Good luck with every thing!

I had surgery may31st and i definently see a difference in my hair. This gross looking pic is only 3days of brushing my hair. It didnt used to be like that.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I like your post alot it makes sence. I think i will apply some of it to my life as well. Thank u!

Thank you for ur response. I agree and appreciate ur advice. Its wonderful you and your wife are able to come together and try recipes and encourage each other. I hope my husband and i can come together as well.

Thank u for ur post. I think u are right. Iam looking into different counceling things we can do to help our marriage and maybe he will open up more about his personal things hes feeling and going through. Hes just shutting down so i hope things change soon. We havent had sex in like 6months maybe it all has to do with that. Ive heard men r irritable if they dont get sugar from there spouce. I dont know. But i guess im mostly to blame if it is cause of how gross ive felt being so big.. anyways u got me thinking more so thanks.
