Ok so let me get this straight..... You felt like a 'cheat' for losing weight with the lapband? Thanks! You just made our struggle much worse! As if we don't have a hard enough time fending off the uneducated opinions as it. Just throw some fuel on the fire.

Maybe you were throwing up so much because you weren't eating properly. You stated over and over how you cheat so often. Did you follow the eating plan? I bet it's much easier following Atkins- especially when you get paid to do it.

Anyways just wanted to thank you for spouting off and making it harder for people that NEED the surgery to deal with the opinions of others.....

Why should she shut up? She is being honest. I sometimes felt that way too and still needed a better tool that forced my hand on the food/pleasure connection. I like that she is honest about the journey. She still has a lot of head work to do. To some having surgical intervention does feel like a cheat, that if only you had more willpower, if only you had better discipline, yada, yada. We all go through thoughts like that, if we are honest. I respect her. I had a lapband 11 years ago, lost 53lbs, kept most of it off (had yo-yo relapses of about 20 lbs), and decided I needed a more forceful hand to complete the journey. So I was revised to a sleeve 11 days ago and am going through those awful "what did I do, will things ever get back to normal" days. I know these days will pass and I am looking forward to it helping me finally disconnecting food from providing all my pleasure. I know I will always be struggling with that, as Sharon Osbourne surely does. But I, for one, am glad she tells it like it really is. Even if she is working for Atkins now.

      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!!

      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... :(
