Sally, you still need to find someone to help you determine if your goals are realistic. Please talk to your surgeon, get some counseling, you can not fight this depression alone.

Sorry guys! I WILL DISAGREE WITH YOU!!

If she is from Egypt, She will find no therapy to help her. There is no concern about this emotioanal wreck here! all they will say that you need to push it and pay money so we can give you a guided diet.. but therapy like in the whole world about weightloss! it aint existing here:(

Sally, I have been there.. felt every single feeling you have wanted to cut the fat.. wanted everything but it was just a period of the day I have this feeling.. then I learned to pick myself up and go to the gym or talk to my friends "which was the hardest part" It may seem easy to say it here to complete strangers. So I am here to tell you that the sleeve will be everything you have dreamed of! PROMISE!! just stop the obsession of "NOT EVER GONNA BE FIT AND SKINNY" this time its gonna happen and it will take its time! you can contact me in person on here, and we might exchange numbers if you want. I can help you I am from same side of the world.

Sally... So glad you found someone here to connect with. The sleeve will work, but if you read a lot of the subjects here, you know it just takes time and nothing you can do will rush it. You are still early out and your body still does not know what you have done to it! You much love your body.... it is keeping you alive, and healing right now... and needs your tenderness. Be kind to yourself, and eat right and drink your Water, and get some exercise... the weight will come off. Also... many many people here get a stall in their weight loss at around 2 1/2- 3 weeks. and it can last for WEEKS! this is normal and you are not doing anything wrong. Relax and take care of yourself.

Sally, I am right there with you on wanting results fast! I am 5 weeks and 2 days out and have only lost 13 pounds. I just had this discussion with my Mom and husband last week when I hit a stall. Why me? Why me? Why me? It is hard, I know! I have all the doubts that you have but you know what? My scale finally moved! It will happen, we just have to be patient and work with our sleeve to get to our goal. I also have to keep reminding myself that I didnt get fat overnight and I am not going to lose this fat overnight either. :)

I have been fat my whole life.. My mom weighs in at about 110 and my real father weighs in at 430. Guess who I am built like? Yep! My real father! :( I cant tell you the countless times I asked my mom why she had to pick a fat guy to have me with! LOL It is the cards we are dealt but it doesnt and we cant let it DEFINE WHO WE ARE AS A PERSON!

Hang in there, it will get better and if you want to chat, please just message me!

Keep Rockin' that Sleeve!!!!

<3Amy

Ugh the puppy ate my note! Okay we'll try this again. Until you reach goal you should stay away from it. For me with the exception of ice cream foods with refined sugars do not seem to trigger a feeling of restriction so they are easy to overeat. I do indulge once in a while but make sure that I eat some dense Protein first so that I am feeling fullish so I won't eat too much.

If you are only 5 weeks out you might still be in a stall. You will lose more! Don't give up :)

I think you sound a bit resentful of the advice your doctor gave you. You don't HAVE to follow it, of course. I will admit to having a few Cookies, crackers, and other bad foods since I was sleeved, and I enjoyed them. However, I then had an honest talk with myself. Did I do this incredible thing to my body to FAIL???? NO!!! So it isn't about following someone else's rules... it's about what YOU want. I hear the longing for a thin body that led you to this decision. That's what you need to focus on as you decide for yourself how you will live with food from now on. I've decided that every now and then I will have a sweet treat, but that I'll never bring them into my house and have them on hand. This is a really hard thing you've done, and it's going to take time to change. But if you don't embrace that change, it's just going to STAY hard. Try to find some peace with this.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
