Sweetsuzie,

Don't give up! Remember this is the start of a new journey for your life. There are many folks on the board, myself included that while we may post it generally is read and may not be responded too or if it is maybe not a lot of responses. Definitely use PM, it works! I have been part of this community for over 18 months now and honestly to respond to all posts would be huge. There are several who give fantastic advise and support (Irene, Cheryl, Lissa, just to name a few)If you have something that has not been posted before that you need help with, after searching, just put a really great title to it and I guarantee folks will respond.

So for now, chin up my friend, no giving up now..and remember let's get up, walk and then run to finish this journey for YOU!

Maybe I expected more ? Not sure but I'll give it another try.

I for one read a post & if me posting would just be repeating someone else's response, I will typically not post a response. Maybe I should at least post that I agree with so & so. I just always felt that ppl would view that as a cheap way of boosting my post count.

Another thing to be aware of is this is a very active forum and threads move down rapidly. I'm on an iPad, it only shows the top 15 threads so I miss a lot.

Aren't you being sleeved by Dr. Alvarez? He also has a private Facebook group that you can join. It is smaller and people there usually respond to post or questions pretty quickly. Sometimes he posts on there too. If you are on FB, friend me, Joyce Yager, and I will try to figure out how to add you :)

I don't get on here very much and it is usually late at night on my phone while I am trying to wind down. I don't reply to many posts as I am new here and still waiting to be sleeved (8/02)!

I understand, I'll be more patient and I'm sorry everyone if I came about it wrong. Thanks everyone for the support!

Keep trying, it really is hit or miss. I posted about panties and got more comments then when I posted my 90 day before and after photos. That shocked me as some people post pictures and they get pages and pages of comments and then I posted and didn't even get half of what others got. Hit or miss I guess. Hang in there and I am always willing to talk.

      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! 😞
