Life of the party eh. Bright and future falling into place.

Depression makes us comedians in public. So does being over weight. I was the best at it....I could have made a dead man laugh when I was depressed and over weight....We also exceed scholastically...But the issues that causes us to be that way are not fixed...It is suppressed and hidden in a dark place.

Chose to continue to be the life of the party all the time when you are thinner. Continue to be smart beyond what is normal after you are thin too.

But get your health in order as well and all things will be as 'ducks in a row.' Stop abusing yourself because you think you are not worth it..We all are and you are too....Please rethink all this abuse and seek help, or at least someone to talk to that can listen and share their experience of self destruction......And the way they turned around..You are so worth it! Okay!

Holy shit guys, I do not know how to show you I am not a troll.

I think I was a VERY poor candidate having an eating disorder, and I wasnt ready. Thats 10000000000% sure. My weight keeps going up and up and up and all I feel I can do right now is either get help or passively watch my weight increase.

RJ's/beginning, I do not know any body who has FAILED after the surgery like I have. As in, went in the COMPLETE other way. I think I am so insecure and maybe depressed because there was a party last night with a lot of my friends, and I chose to stay inside. Why? Because I dont like going out in public, where pictures will be taken and shit, knowing my friends will be thinking "Man, he really let himself go....."

Failing is not an option. Putting it on hold..maybe. But you need to find help so that you can succeed okay......You seem very intelligent to me...I know it is in there somewhere and you can do it..You have to want to put the work into it and get into it....You will get out of it a healthy new and happier you.....

No going back..You did this..Time to go forward and take the leap to a better you..Come on dig your nails in and get at it...You got this!

You need us..were here....We will try to help you! Okay!!!!!!!!!!!

VSGAnn, honestly? No. But I was going to go either today or tomorrow and go to costco and get the Protein shakes and live off of those for a week....Have 4 or so a day...or try.

Well failing IS an option because I am doing it. But its not the right option, the right option would be to go get those Protein Shakes and follow the doctors orders and live off of them for a bit.

Add in salads, lean meats and Greek yogurt if you need food. First three days will suck but you can do this!

I have chicken, but honestly I havent been cooking in awhile and that could be my problem. When I was cooking, my weight was going up but very slowly. Now since I havent been cooking, its been going up pretty fast.

I want low-prep foods, so I think Ill stick with yogurt and the shakes. I dont trust salads because at costco theres these premade salads for 300 calories and I can have two of them easily...

My mom's the reason I made this throwaway...what happened last time on another account is that I posted on here, it got sent to my email, my email for some reason autologged on, on her computer, so if she loaded up the website email then it would log on to my email...she would see bariatric pal or VSG whatever it was, then freaked out and talked to the surgeons.

Caused her a lot of anxiety and shit so I dont tell her, because then she freaks out and when she freaks out, it pushes me away from her....and we are already pretty far away as is......

I'm my own support....and Im not doing a good job

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
