Wow what a dick. That made me so so so mad. No one can tell you you're eating the wrong thing except your surgeon' date=' nut and yourself. Stuff him, the unsupportive git needs a good slapping. Angry on your behalf mommy[/quote']

Thank you!!!

People are so ignorant to just what this surgery entails...people think we are weak and taking the easy way out....but they are wrong all the years dealing with being over weight..takes a certain strength in itself. And this surgery is the hard road..we will have great results..but they will be earned not handed to us...Be proud and we are doing this for us..

Sooo true and well said! I'm tired of people in my family labeling me as lash!

Sad to say some family are worse than enemies..I didn't tell any of my family not even my two sons that don't live home..although I know they would support me I'm afraid it might slip out..so I only told my best friend and my daughter that lives home..I'm so scared cause I feel so alone..I don't really have anyone..

You r not alone Jessica we r all in this together. I have no support either. My husband wants me fat and dependent on him. Well no. You have all of us so never feel alone.

Thank you so much and rbay..i was suppose to have surgery today but I have a bad cough and chest congestion so they postponed it until December 5th...if your husbands want you to stay overweight..that just shows his insecurities..it makes me laugh (not) when I hear that people have lost friends or even mates that always said "I love you the way you are"..now cause losing weight your they feel your out shining them or ..all of a sudden that"love"has turned conditional ..like as long as your less than me I will love you..some people just don't know the true meaning of love

I have to say I am extremely lucky my family is very supportive ((at least the ones that matter)) & my hubby is my rock he is 200% supportive he tells me every day how much he loves me the way I am and how lucky he is to have me and he wants me to do the surgery for me not him he says he cant stand to see me get upset about my weight

4 days post op!

I'm home now. Feel so good! I'm literally stuffed from 1oz liquids at a time! LoL it's amazing. Still have soreness and some gas pain but tolerable. Dr sent me home with some liquid Tylenol with Codine... just took my dose and ready for bed.

Im reading these posts about the lack of support and it makes me sad/angry to hear this. Didn't there mamas teach them... if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all.

I made my decision alone. My hubby knew all along I was considering it and was supportive, when I told him I was going thru with it. He said that he was behind me 100% cause it didn't matter what I looked liked but that I was healthy. He has been to support groups with me, he did his own research on the process and even knows what I can and cant eat. He is truly amazing. Some family members though... hmmm I had to tell a few to keep there negative comments to themselves.

Just keep true to yourself and keep the positive support close and you'll be okay!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
