Can We Get Back To Support And Stop Attacking Each Other Please?



Recommended Posts

I have encountered very few people who attack but it is here - and other support places as well. That's life I guess!

I know I certainly felt attacked when I came out about my bulimia struggles. Not just attacked, but really ridiculed. I was very disappointed in this forum and had to take a few weeks off. After that, I've turned into more of a lurker. It really is too bad, we face enough of that **** from the outside world, and have most of our lives as obese people.

I imagined that people here freaked out on you... bingeing and purging do not mix well with the sleeve... especially early out when you can rip your staple line. Hope all is going well for you now. It must be very challenging. Please understand that that response is a warning call to keep you safe. I hope they did not make it personal, thats not right.

Thanks feedyoureye! No, for me, bulimia has always been a result of overeating and being out of control (half a pizza). With the sleeve it will remove a lot if not all of that! At this point I can't even imagine doing that to my body,let alone my poor little stomach! I am excited to see if this curbs the ED as I think it will for other obese bulimics who feel out of control.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
