Recommended Posts

Okay so I went to a bday party and let me say it was so emotional seeing everyone eat. Like I dont mean to pass judgement but they looked like pigs with 2 hamburgers and a hotdog with fixings and handfuls of chips. And I saw a kid drink 3 cans of pepsi within half hour.who does that! Anyways at first I was discusted, then angry, then regretful, then sad. I even almost cried. I know its all in my head and I dont really want that crappy food. Im happy losing over 20lbs in 10days. I just had to get out of there. Anyone else experience feelings like that or am I just crazy??!!

I see the same thing now. My hubs and I went out to eat. I ordered a baked crabcake app...and ate 1/3 of one with a little salad. There wasn't even a drop of juice on his plate when he was done...and eve ryone eats sooo fast! I can't pass judgement. I am just thankful I am not that way anymore

Yes, I think we all pretty much feel that way! It's like our eyes have opened and we see things so differently. I can't imagine eating that much anymore and yet I used to out eat most of the people who eat around me. It's funny because I was afraid people would watch what I put in my mouth and yet it is the other way around!

I too was shocked after watching my sister-in-law eat some cheesesteak topped fries shortly after my surgery. I wasn't disgusted at her, but at thinking I could easily have eaten the same thing in the same amount of time only weeks before. I'mthankful for a tool that has me on a path to changing my old habits.

Post-sleeve, it's definitely weird to see how much "normal" people eat, and trying to comprehend that I used to eat that much too! It's kind of surreal.

I know I have no right but yeah, post-op I do find myself thinking some very judgemental things when I see people waddling past with laden down trays. But what really makes me angry and ashamed and a lot of things, is when I see average size people, definitely not fat, chow down on a humongous messy burger, fries, slurp down an enormous soda, and they are fine! There is no penalty!! They just go about their business and don't gain weight!!!! THAT'S SO UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!! Here I am, watching my every calorie, had major invasive surgery, and they get to eat like gluttons without fear! Grrrr.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
