Hi my name is Tracie. I am one week post op. looking for friends going through what I went through. Hope everyone is doing well.

Thank you

Is anyone awake? I really do not know how to user he site as proficiently from my iPhone but its easier to pick up than my computer. I'm just really feeling bad this morning. It is 3:15 am here. I went back to work yesterday and had a horrible day. I guess I was not expecting to be treated so poorly at work by my coworkers and boss. Like what I did was a waste of time and that I had somehow inconvenienced them in some way. Guess I was just reaching out to see if anyone else had experienced anything like that at work or if I'm just the only unlucky one with a toxic work environment.

I am sorry you had it so rough. Hang tight....it gets better, though it may not feel like it right now. You do this for you. I am almost 8 months out, and over 110 lbs lost. Those early days are so tough. You feel like crap, your energy level stinks....you want the weight to be gone..NOW!....but its a one step at a time, one day at a time process. And it will go. One day, you will wake up look in the mirror and not recognize yourself. Its all good. (Hug)

Remember it took years to gain & even if it takes months to slim it's still a process.

Thank you you guys.

Question ... how do I put a profile pic up?

Does anyone know how much weight is the normal loss in the beginning?

They told me 50 in the first month

Welcome, this is a great place.

I'm so happy for you. I have had some great conversations on here so far. I try to get in once a day and read. Good luck and Happy New year.
