  1. So.. I’m leaving the app.. sorry if I sounded rude or um.. unwanting to get help like some ppl said. Just for the record I’m literally 18. I had the surgery done when I was 17. I never found any support from someone who fully supported me. I guess if you are not perfect at wls you are not good enough. Just like everything else in life.... I want to thank anyone who took the time to speak with me and I’m sorry to anyone who I hurt because that was totally unintentional...

    Weight gain.....

    Due to Covid 19.. this and that.. so sick of hearing it. Due to Covid 19 I got scammed and PayPal was unavailable to pick up the phone ...

    I’m 18. No clue how I can begin to afford this. I am in the process of moving out of my house to rent or board by someone else. Even with working full time it’ll take me 4 years to save up for this..

    If I have it proven that this is causing me depression, does that count? I get rashes on my thighs but not so much in other places

    Where to get the money 😭😭 seriously. Insurance should cover for this. It’s not like I want to I’m prove my looks. (I do of course) but I literally walk around hanging all over the place. I am uncomfortable and get skin chafing all over the place. It’s overall quit depressing

    PS Costs

    Hey I’m wondering if anyone knows about how much money it would cost me to get a full body makeover. Upper and lower body. Arms and thighs included. (Not breasts or face or neck but just about everything else)
  8. Dunno. I will try to call in.. thanks for the help! ❤️
  9. Yeah but I never actually met her. I only met some assistant who literally did nothing for me so I only saw her twice pre op and post op. Hoping to meet her this time
  10. Fiber gives me insane constipation. I tried to be strict with myself as a last resort to save face. I ended up in SO much pain I almost ended up in the ER. I tried laxatives, not really doing much. I use gassx which helps to a certain extent but I’m still gassy all day. I quit that type of eating as a desperate attempt to feel better... and now I’m having a massive oil problem... WHY? I am so sick of this. I almost regret having this surgery. Almost. And for those people who said I’m ruining it for myself NO KIDDING. I’m trying. Every way of eating makes me sick. And now that I’ve been trying to play around with what I’ve been doing this year, nothing works. All foods are giving me an issue one way or another. It got so bad I actually stopped eating for a few days just so that I shouldn’t be in the bathroom all day, which in my case with the surgery I did is very dangerous. I’m so frustrated. 😩😩😩
  11. @starwarsandcupcakes thanks! Will try
  12. Really? I thought it was sort of common. I’m meeting with my surgeon in two weeks for a post op visit. I was trying so hard to get this under control before I go because I’m kinda embarrassed that I failed at this.. I had the loop- ds by the way
  13. Hey guys. I really need help. I am exactly one year post op. I haven’t been eating right at all since the surgery. I lost weight the first 9 months and have basically plateaued for the last three months. Abt 3-4 pounds down collectively. I lost 100 pounds and still have 35 to go to hit a normal bmi. I thought that I was just being lazy and that’s why I couldn’t get my eating habits under control. Since COVID-19 I’ve been home and paid all my attention to my health and eating habits. If I follow a strictly high Protein diet, I am so constipated I feel like I’m going to pass out from pain. If I do fruits and vegetables I get insanity gassy. I need to stay away from too much fat because I get oil leaking if not.. so that literally just leaves me with carbs. And not even complex carbs. I’ve been naturally gravitating to these foods before surgery-obviously, and now anything else I eat makes me sick. Anyone else went through this? And this point, it’s not so much about the weight loss. I reached a point mentally where I don’t NEED to be thin in order to be happy. I just want to be healthy and feel good. And junk food is not doing that.... any advice?
