I really don't understand hiding your weight loss? Sooner or later they will find out and it seems if they see you losing little by little will be better then all at once. How you going to explain that?

I know I'm not going through this to hide my new, better health.

My family they come around and so oh you cant have this... no i dont want that. lol. I lost weight on the pre-op diet because i was staying under a certain amount of cals a day. before i would go out i would look up nutritional value and make my meal choice based on that. if i went to burger king i would get whopper jr without mayo and value size onion rings. that meals is under 500. having the surgery isnt an easy way out. its more responsibility.

eating at burger king is what helped make me obese (high fat/fried)

fast foods should be used in very sparse moderation (even subway is a better option)

the bands helps us eat less but its really up to us to help the band by

eating good food. (lean Protein, veggies and fruits)

Great point that you cannot untell someone. I purposely only told close friends & family but my little ones told others for me :-). I received some negative feedback from in-laws about leaving them in the dark, which made me angry. Their need to tell me their fears / concerns / thoughts does not = my need to hear it.

Tell who you trust and who supports you and don't worry about the others. People judge - plain & simple, fat, thin, whatever!

Best of luck & keep your eye on the prize!! Your good health!!

I thought you lived in someplace FL?

I live in some place FL and have never had to wear 3 layers of clothes. Plus you said you got egg salad at Publix, Publix is only in southern states. Busted!!!!!

Tell me, how do you know what I'm doing at night???? For your information I ride a motorcycle in the middle of winter and still do not dress like you describe. From your very first post you have been unbelievable and I have been following you. First you changed your name, but that back fired. Then you continue to change your story.

I don't care if you're on here to have fun, but having newbies take in your garbage is where I draw the line.

So change your name again and start a new story. I'm done!!!

PS I'm not the only one who has figured you out.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
