thank you so much. its just really bothering me.

no, but i live with one and they eat very unhealthily

The two family members that know about my surgery are starting to make me feel uncomfortable. I just had my sleeve two months ago, and while i don’t really see a difference except in my collarbones, i can fit into things i never thought i could. And my shirt and pants size went down significantly. They keep telling me im “skinny” and “so small” in a nice way but I don’t see it at all! Especially in my upper body. I see it on the scale but not anywhere else.its starting to get annoying because they'll tell me that i'm getting small so much and when i start to believe them and feel a little confident they'll tell me that once i start exercising i’ll look better.which i am. Not much because i struggle with depression but im genuinely trying. I exercise 3-4 times a week. I just wish theyd shut up about me “losing all that weight” and then telling me exercise will help me. I know that already!! luckily im starting an exercise program on may 10th that im joining for two months. Its already paid for so I dont have any excuses.Does anyone else have non supportive family members? How do you deal with them?

Thank you I was just dehydrated

Thank you i was just dehydrated

Thanks. I just spoke to my surgeon he told me to go the ER. I’m scared.

Yesterday I had a bite of cauliflower pizza and felt sick. I threw it up (my first time ever throwing up since surgery) and have felt nauseous since then. After I threw up I was nauseous lying down for about 30 min then it went away. I woke up today and was instantly so nauseous I needed to sit down. I’m lying down currently and my heart rate is in the 100s. I’m scared any advice?

Thank you !

Thank you so much you’re the best!

I had surgery 7 weeks ago and I’ve seen my surgeon twice since then. I was cleared to start regular food at 4 weeks (week 1-clear liquids week 2-full liquids week three pureed/soft). I did have beef once when I was cleared for solids,but I don’t think I should have. Anyways I’m paranoid that I’ll get a leak. I’m still kind of scared to eat and most of the time I eat I get really scared, because my appetite came back and sometimes I eat too fast.Any advice or reassurance? Every time I search in this forum for the exact food I ate and read everyone’s responses before I eat. And then I see people saying they found a leak like 2 months after surgery and it really freaks me out.

Thx, I’m having faith it will go away completely

The medical term is called Acanthosis nigricans. I’ve had it since I was a child. I’m dark skinned but it’s still very noticeable. I’ve lost 33 pounds since surgery 7 weeks ago. Does anyone who struggles with this have any success stories? Or what should I be doing now to make sure it goes away

I did it!!! Thanks so much everyone. I did a 27 min walk on the treadmill I burned 137 calories and I just finished another 10 minute at home workout!

Thank you!

Thanks!that’s a good idea I’ll try it’s just so hard to even have a routine
