Hi Guys!

I am a positive person and all I have wanted for so long is to get my sleeve. Suddenly today I seem to be an emotional mess. I am sad that food is not part of my life today as everyone is having cook outs and I am still on full liquids. I am nip picking everything my daughter does. I am tired of being in the house but not really feeling up to doing a lot either. What in the world is wrong with me? It is like extreme PMS but it is not that time! Just frustrated today!

It happens to all of us, these feelings will pass. It's hard to have surgery around holidays, just keep telling yourself you CAN Celebrate the next one with food, just try and enjoy the family and fireworks this time. You're close to mushy foods, it gets better from there. I am 4 weeks out and barely starting to eat soft regular foods again and it's great. I can have a small amount and be "Thanksgiving stuffed" and COMPLETELY satisfied. This is worth it, just get through the rough patch!

The whole holiday thing can get to you, but if you're only 10 days out, your body is still going through a lot. You have been pumped full of drugs, your body has been through the trauma of surgery. You will have down days and its perfectly normal. Hang in there it does get easier.

I'm still a new post op as well. My suggestion is to get out. Go walk around your neighborhood (It's HOT here in Austin so I go late at night). Go walk around Walmart (they have big aisles and are open late, and you can lean on the cart if your tummy is still sore like mine). Go to the mall. Go look at before/after photos. But for me getting out of the house lifts my mood. I rode with hubby to get crickets for his lizard earlier today... just get out of the house as much as possible.

As fat cells are burned hormones pour out- so we are all in for up and down mood swings for months to come! My doctor warned us at our seminar- even people who have never been depressed are likely to experience it. I agree that walking and exercising is a great help It is hot here today too but we will walk by the bay where it is cooler . I agree it is tough with all the barbecues and stuff but next year you will be able to eat a little bit of everything- and you will be thin!

I am feeling better now than earlier today! I went to the Vitamin Shop and walked around and went to my Mom's house for a bit. I am sure that helped. It is very Hot here today too but I am gonna take a short walk when the sun goes down.

Thanks for the support! It helps to know I am not alone in these feelings.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
