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.

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
