I have read FB is bad for your mental health.

Reddit is no better. It looks like a big bragging before/after picture and look-how-small-my-portions-are show.

LipstickLady was permanently banned here in 2016.

None here but left the bariatric pal Facebook group as it was full of toxic people who loved to enable each other eating like crap and call anyone who said differently the "food police" while inevitably they would post a few months later whining about stalls or regain. People were cheering people on eating cake at a few weeks post op because "it's a soft food". There were posts like that constantly. Maybe it's changed since I left but that's not a great support group for making better food choices.

this really irritates the hell out of me. What a huge waste of money for them to have the surgery. Plus when I hear about cases like, this I worry that some insurance policies are going to stop covering it because too many people are unsuccessful because they don't follow the rules. It'll end up screwing those of us who are serious about it up, too, if that happens...

I usually agree with you but this rubs me the wrongest way possible.

Nobody polices patients who've had coronary bypass surgery or angioplasty if they take their statins, engage in moderate exercise and really have stopped smoking. Nobody polices diabetes patients if they changed their eating habits and threatens to stop covering insulin treatment if they don't.

I remember Lipstick...... she hated me .... good riddance b*tches..... I think she may have gotten kicked off that one too.
I do miss my friend Dub. I do still talk to a lot of people that dont come her anymore. Most all have gained all their weight back. Two that were my inspirations.....

that's one of the main reasons I've stayed active on bariatric sites. It keeps my head in the game.

I guess I should have said too many people fail because they revert to their former eating habits.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
