Hi. My name is skinnyginny and I am addicted to diet pills. I have been sober for 56 days.

Okay, I'm not really addicted but good golly it feels great to no longer see new diet pill ads and wonder, 'maybe this one will work.' I'M FREE!

I wonder how much money I've spent on diet pills in my lifetime. Probably thousands of dollars!

Diet pills, medically supervised weight loss programs, Jenny Craig, miracle foods...

Yep I'm a sucker :P

Me too! That got me thinking and maybe I should start a new thread for those debating on whether or not they should self pay. But, I've saved a lot of money with the sleeve! Going out to eat used to be around 300 a month. That's 3600 a year! My grocery bill has gone down about 30 a week. That's 360 a yr. Who knows what I've waisted on diet fads. I've always taken Vitamins so that wasn't an extra expense. Being fat is expensive!

I completely agree! I'm self-pay and I figure that I've spent so much money over the years on pills and programs and portion-control-foods that at some point, the sleeve will eventually pay for itself. You name it, I've done it. A few months ago I put together a list of all the stuff I've tried over the years and it sickened me to see how much was there. Thousands of $$ wasted.

      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! 😞
