I agree whole heartedly with the comments. However, I haven’t failed to remember that so many folks who have problems with their weight are truly addicted to food, the process of eating and the sensation of being full, etc. This is as real as any heroin addiction. Many of us had a pre-surgery psych eval. but IMO that was simply a formality for liability purposes and is as worthless as the paper it’s written on. So we have a good % of folks in all stages of this procedure with a severe food addiction-not a huge surprise, so why is the pork chop ? (LOL said in a southern accent) :).

I really hate that in our society it is offensive to suggest someone seek “help.” We all have issues that could use improvement-and us WLS folks are high on this list of need. I’m of the thinking that their lack of control sparks our own fears of failure, and thus the anger is released via a post. It is frustrating, just as all addictive behavior.

:unsure:

Couldn't agree more! When I see they've posted in a thread, I know I'm going to here some down-and-dirty, no-holds-barred truth AND that I'm probably going to lmfao????

My post was supposed to have this attached....otherwise probably didn't make too much sense. Did I mention I'm a dork?! Lol

I am grateful to the veterans who post on this forum. I lurk most often. I was in therapy for two years before I was even ready to consider the surgery. Then I attended a seminar in July of 2015. Started the process in January and had my surgery in July 2016. Surgery went fine and I did really well for two weeks and then was violently ill for 3 weeks. Turns out my gallbladder needed to come out. Since May I have lost 78 lbs. + 8lbs I gained each surgery in fluids. I know that some of it is because I literally could not eat or drink for 3 weeks but I still give myself credit for every pound. Now i am learning to eat again with the sleeve. It is still hard to get my liquid in but doing well with Protein. Head hunger can be a real thing at times but I know that my body cannot handle the things my head wants. Since I have recovered from the gall bladder surgery, I am getting more and more confident. When I have questions, I come here and find posts from veterans that have already answered them. Thank you, Lipstick Lady and others. BTW, I am meeting one of my heroes this Tuesday and will be getting my picture taken with him. It is the first time in a long time that I am looking forward to a photo and I am still more than a hundred pounds away from goal. Feeling better about myself everyday.

Damnrite they are...............tacos are the ticket 24/7..............'specially the crunchy ones at week 3.

WTF is going on with folks that have the wherewithal to arrange wls but can't divine the most basic of instructions regarding their lives an safety.

I've seen less ignorance on the shooting ranges.......

Idiots gonna idiot, i suppose.

      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.

      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! 😞
