They are out there!! when I left my abusive relationship I was scared to get back out there. Quite a few duds but then my bestie introduced me to my guy. We both brought a child into the relationship and now have one of our own! Good people are out there!! Im sorry you had that happen to you

I love this! I know my partner loves me regardless of the weight I am as long as I am healthy. (one of the convos we had that if anyone on of us became unhealthily overweight we would have a conversation about that- I wasn't there) He does have to navigate how this is going to go and how he will feel towards me. The parts that he loved are getting small, so I have these self destructive thoughts. Its a me thing and I know that, because my guy always compliments me and tells me how much he loves my saggy boobies LOL or my handful of a butt now. he's encouragement. I don't want to put so much emphasis on looks but man its tough when that's the only thing that is changing! Then I had an HR rep come up to me and tell me I am withering away and I look great. Like omg I wanna cry. I feel like I was this huge person walking around and more ppl want to talk to me. My partner is more handsy. Idk I didn't expect this. Its a lot ( I am rambling I know). I went through a lot of therapy when I left my abusive ex and I consider myself a very strong woman but my god the last week or so I have been feeling a type of way!

so confusing!! I was in the same boat, I would grab my clothes and change in the bathroom, wouldn't want the lights on during intimacy. I feel the same, the look he gives me hasn't changed and I know I am lucky to have a man that is so supportive. Your right I jsut need to give him the benefit of the doubt. I am just navigating how to feel about these changes. The clothing, the confidence, my lack of butt LOL all of it

We are surgery twins! I'm sorry that this is happening, it totally sucks! and your feelings are so valid! I do feel hungry so what I had to do is change what I ate. So for bfast instead of a shake I now eat something with substance like eggs with avocado ect..then my shake is my "snack" I eat every 2-3hrs and that has helped me. *knock on wood* I have not hit a stall YET because I am sure one will come. I walk everyday for 30min, i wake up drinking water and my Isopure mix such as mixed berry or mango lime. Then I will have my decaf coffee with sugar free torani syrup and a dash of my nutpod creamer. Then an hour later I eat my food breakfast. It took me time to get there. I eat around 825 cal, 110g of protien, 35g carbs and under 20g of fat. When I am bored or feel hungry I chew gum or @ChunkCat suggested Millie's sipping broths and they are DELICIOUS!! Always protein first, something that I still am working on because I love my carbs LOL You got this and use this platform, we are here for you!

my doctor told me if I had a red ring or warm to the touch I needed to call in. Might be infected eventough it doesnt look like it from the picture but always best to be safe

I totally wish I could tell people but I just do not want judge or the infamous "you took the easy way out" I do not regret this decision and so wish I would've don't this earlier.

Im thinking they think I am on the uppers and not the WLS drugs, LOL! I like the "lifestyle changes"

mine sucks apparently. lol I had one 2 weeks post op and it was for 5min then they havent told me to meet them again...so I have no idea!

As I am approaching my 4 week post op. I am so EFFING proud of how I am sticking to the program! Just wanna do a happy dance 💃 HW: 325Lb SW: 297 PreOp Weight: 266 CW: 238

I love this so much! I am approaching 4 weeks Post op tomorrow and I don't have a lot that fits. This weekend I am donating clothes so I can start my wardrobe. I am going to probably rock the Billie Ellish look and wear baggy pants. But I went to Old Navy and took advantage of their jean sale and got a couple of jeans that are smaller sizes. Its been such a good feeling to find that confidence! However I notice that I have no idea what my style is! I always wore t-shirt and jeans since it hid what I wanted to cover. This is fun tho! Its unimageable that that I am still shrinking.

After the birth of my second child, I underwent tubal ligation for sterilization. However, my periods were extremely heavy, so I started taking the pill to lighten or stop my menstrual cycle. I was instructed to discontinue the pill two weeks before the surgery and to wait another two weeks after the surgery. My periods were terrible before, and they are terrible now. I have just resumed taking the pill, so I am hopeful that they will improve soon. lol

I'll start! I just bought jeans almost two weeks ago and they are already getting baggy....think I might need to sport the mom/ boyfriend jean look for awhile

hahha! thats funny, wow you went down a lot in your feet! Just means its shopping time!

awwww bummer, I had turkey meatloaf the other day, it was very soft and so tasty. I only ate 1oz of it and felt so satisfied, or cottage cheese and peaches. I also heard some make deviled eggs, I havent tried this yet but its on my meal plan for the week

same! I am on soft foods as well, and I found that if I eat the soft chicken or turkey. I eat 1oz I feel so satisfied for a long time too. So I think incorporating those protein rich foods will help us.

YES!! I feel like I am starving sometimes.

I would reach out to your dietician. Did you get a booklet or something that showed all the stages?

yasss!!! amazing!

Oh then you know then HUGE valentines heart See's Candy box I received! LOL The scotchmallow was calling me yesterday! so I ate a bite and my taste buds were dancing! I love the lemon truffles!

my hubs got me a HUGE heart full of See's Candy. Omg! if anyone knows See's Candy, It is the best! I ate a bite of one chocolate and it was AMAZING and just enough. I gave the rest to my son. were gonna have chocolate for awhile in our house!

dupe

yay!!!! I am so glad you went through with it!! I am able to tolerate it all too! we got lucky! just track track track and drink that water is what I tell myself! Definitely lets keep talking would love to hear you experiences!
