I definitely have had anxiety about losing my best friend "food". It's tough especially when the people around you continue to enjoy all of your old faves. I swear, not even a week out the hospital and I've seen Chick Fil A, Taco Cabana, Wendy's and pizza Hut boxes laying around the house. I'm like jeez guys can you stick the knife any deeper.

I was sleeved on the 22nd of June. I miss the numbness that food gave to me. I do love texture and flavor too. Every time I see others eating junk, I count the fat grams, the non-existent Protein, the carbs, and I picture the new me. My family went to Sonic last night. There was nothing that I could have. So I ordered a Route 44 cup of ice for 75 cents. I chews the ice slowly and eventually drank the melted ice. Keep asking yourself why?

That is very tough! I am fortunate my family semi-tries to eat healthy like me. They occasionally eat unhealthy food but I don't know how I would manage with being around it all the time. Props to you!

Have you tried maybe asking them to eat that when you're not home? Or for them to eat it outside of the home so you don't have to see, smell, dream about it? Lol

I often will get frustrated at the fact that I can't eat as fast as others do. I will be hungry and just want to eat at the speed of my hunger. I think I need to start eating healthy Snacks during the day so I don't get so hungry at dinner time. It is a battle and will be worth it in the end. This too shall pass.

I forgot for one meal and paid for it with pain. So I have to pay attention to the speed. Tough with guys eating at the speed of light

      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.
