Hey I'm from southwest Ohio. I had the sleeve in Jan of 2018. Down about 165lbs. At a stall right now. Been single for a while. Anyone in my area?! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

Surgery was September 9th and I’m 60 lbs down!!! I’m still heavy but I feel so good about myself!! Will insert a before and after. Also want to see others before and after!!

Its water - Do not weigh yourself every day - you will end up in a rubber room - Set a goal for the week. The damm head games are the worse part of this surgery - You got this

Hey everyone I'm Arcana I recently just got finished with 6 months of nutrition classes I've seen my psych Dr I did blood work I did the EKG I did the swallow Barium test and so now I am just waiting on a approval because my first surgery request was denied so this is the second attempt I'm hoping I get approved this time I'm 31 years old I weigh 320 lbs and my BMI is 49 I desperately need the surgery but I'm also very nervous I don't have that much support from my family everyone thinks I shouldn't get it because I could die on the table but I told my family that I'm already dying lbs because I'm severely overweight and I'm not saying that weight loss surgery is my only option but I feel like this is the only option for me that's gonna work for sure I've been having second thoughts because of my family making me feel like I'm going to die if I have the surgery smh has anybody else felt that way before I just feel so upset because I don't have any support at all and I know for sure its what I want to do I have tried dieting and it never worked I never lost any more than 10 pounds in my Life I'm tired of feeling miserable and having low self-esteem about myself it's not fair to my daughter that I feel ashamed about going out to fun places where I know we both will be happy and enjoy ourselves the only thing we do is go to the movies get and go home I'm tired of living like this I have always been very self-conscious about my body and the way I look and I know I shouldn't be so self-conscious but I was never this heavy in my life i recently gained all my weight within the past 10 years I just want to become a better version of myself and feel more confident and most important get more healthier my family doesn't understand that I'm not as healthy as I should be

All the best to you both! Sent from my Pixel 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

I agree with AJ, if you can't get the support you need at home, get it here. We are all here for you!

All the best you two! Prayers and good thoughts coming your way for a speedy recovery now, since your surgeries are probably over and you're getting ready to do your first walk. Hugs and loves 💕

beautifullysleeved2019.....As GreenTealael said it could be a number of things, HYDRATE, but most importantly FOLLOW YOUR SURGEON ORDERS. For me Stage 1: Sugar Free Liquids only, no protein.Are you still using your I/S device? I had pain in my upper back/shoulder but when I use my I/S device that subsides. When I have pain around my incisions I take my liquid pain medicine I was prescribed.Walking also helps. I know everybody is different, just sharing!

This is noise/water retention. See my post from a few weeks ago about gaining 6lbs overnight. You will be laughing about this in 2-3 weeks.

Sorry you're going through this. Food should be enjoyable. There are still some foods I can't eat, but I can eat more foods than not.
