1) I have only told my wife, kids, mother-in-law, and 1 of my brothers. Everyone else that asks, thinks I'm working with a nutritionist that has me on a tailored diet and exercise plan.

2) my parents have no idea that I've had this surgery

3) I don't miss my fat clothes because let's face it, fat people are just supposed to hide in their homes and not go in public, so why should there be fashionable choices for us?

4) I still weight 270, but I feel like a sexy beast now

5) I need to do more strength training because I realized I'm not as strong as I thought, I just had really good leverage. Lol. Can't move things with just my weight anymore.

I confess that I wish I could have eaten Mexican or Chinese take away badly today!

I confess that I wish I could drink my coke zero like I used to because I drank more then and just get annoyed with trying to get my fluids in.

I confess I still haven’t left my house on my own I only leave when someone will drive me to my destination.

I confess I have eaten chips (us kind not uk kind crisps to us) not whole bags like 3 pringles, but I did get a packet of cheese curls ate 4 and sucked all the cheese flavour off the rest and tossed the soggy mush in the bin (time of the month I was always a starchy person its still the same!)

I confess I am sad my bust is disappearing at a very fast rate and I kinda hate them right now.

I confess that your post made me sad. You have our support!

My other confessions include:

I confess that I have gone down all the sizes in my closet and i finally hit the smallest size and they no longer fit (size 12) so I literally have NOTHING that fits. Sounds like a good problem to have, but it has me very depressed.

I confess that I get irritated when people tell me to buy new clothes because my clothes are too big. If it offends them so much they can buy me some.

I confess I don't want to spend the money on clothes for fear I will not be able to wear them long. Plus size 12's are too big, but 10's are snug. What can I wear?

I confess that this depression has made me snacky and self sabotaging on my diet. I ate Cookies today and FRIES yesterday.

I confess I am worried when I get in these funks that I will go back to old habits because I don't feel worthy.

I confess I love the people on VST because they are always willing to help and listen. It's like free therapy.

I confess I love this thread. Still feel yucky in my clothes though.

Yes. Yes. And yes. I may be mourning my clothes more than food.

I confess:

I'm mourning my clothes too. Clothes shopping=no fun for me. I actually nervous about shopping for new one's, smaller size or not. I'm also sad I'm 14 days post op & returned to work I'm my same ole size, like a 50lb miracle was supposed to happen in 14 days. Nevermind I've lost 19lbs.

I confess:

I'm afraid I'll never have another normal bowel movement again.

I confess:

I'm more obsessed w/what I put in my mouth & the scale in my bathroom more than I ever was before surgery.

I confess:

I'm so intimidated by food & nervous about feeling bad, I just don't care to branch out past my Protein drinks. I'm scared.

But I'm very grateful for the confessions, & all your honesty. This app & u guys are a HUGE help! <3

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
