Wow, that's some nerve asking a question of the sort. Even if he was trying to joke, but it doesn't sound like it. My encouragement for you is to find a way to let negative comments roll off your back and not take it to heart. It's VERY HARD to do, because words can slice and dice us up, but if this is how people are in your community (area), than that's maybe what you might need to try to do??? Fight the depression, it wants to leave you in despair and you're too priceless to be wallowing in the dark. Everyone is.

You're in one of the hardest phases of this journey. Every one of us has had a bad night or more. You're going to get through this. Tomorrow is another day.

Hi I'm in the hospital already and having my sleeve done at 10am tomorrow morning. It's now 18:37 in Kenya. I'm so nervous.... please keep me in your prayers. [emoji120]

Relax, you're not even a month into this. Just follow your plan.

I lost 6 lbs two weeks after surgery but I had lost 15 lbs the two weeks before surgery. I was dumbfounded that it was "only 6 lbs" after two weeks of 500 calories a day. Then I thought I could already be in my 3 week stall. I hate the scale and refuse to let it dictate my emotions for the day (at least I'm going to try very hard!) In two weeks I'll measure myself and see what's happened there. If nothing else I've lost weight in my boobs. ☹️

Good luck! I had mine 15 days ago. Let us know how you're doing.

My surgery was yesterday and to be honest I'm ready to go home. I still have pain and the nausea but I can't believe how good I feel. I am excited and committed to my new life and better health.

My Dr. wrote me out for 4 weeks (and I was approved for STD for that) but I ended up going back after 3. I got a bit bored sitting at home and was ready to get into my normal routine. I found it took me 2 weeks to feel better and then I used that 3rd week to get into more of a 'routine' with my protein, water, vitamins etc.

Sorry to hear about the less-than-desirable election results Now, maybe you have time in your schedule to take that vacation!

Congrats! I have BCBS FEP, too, and my approval came in a week, I was so relieved!
