I am sorry to hear this. I understand the feeling and you are right that many can understand but they do not know if they have not experienced the same. It sucks in the strongest words possible. I was to have mine in March and arranged with my company for time off then Covid came and it was moved to September. Take today and as much time you need to be angry, dissappointed and feel whatever you wish then speak with the practitioner and see what they can tell you and when. You cannot control Covid and the impact but you can concentrate on what you need to do next and choose to not let this jeopardize any progress or strives you have made. Again I am sorry that this occurred to you

Yep. Devastating. We go to great lengths to make this work. Deductibles, max out of pocket, work, PTO, etc. I'm very sorry you are having to go through this. I would be livid.

Congratulations on your surgery, and welcome to the rest of your life!!!! I'm so sorry for the hurtful comments you've endured over the years. People can be jerks!

Screw People who are negative. My wife is in the same situation now. I am thin and she is big. So i understand how it will take a emotional toll. All i here from Family and Friends is when is Kim going to get the surgery? My response Mind you own F@#ckin business. But she gets upset and it makes her sad. Now you just focus on yourself and getting healthy and Happy. Everyone here will guide and help As for staying Corona Free I find it hard to stay empty handed on the boat or beach

it's not up to them - it's up to you. If you're comfortable with it - fine. If you want to lose more - fine.

After a couple of years you will be able to eat a significant amount at a time. At that point it becomes much easier to regain weight however. Research long term out comes.

I have been struggling with intermittent severe nausea during the 18 months after WLS. My weight last month dipped to 117.6, but now I am back to 120.6. Every time I have had an extended bout of nausea, which has lasted days, my weight drops because I have trouble eating even 50% of my necessary daily calories. My nutritionist has me drinking Ensure Plus when I can't eat, eating creamy soups, oatmeal, avocado, nuts, and other healthy fatty foods. She also said I should have a small meal before bedtime each night. I need to stabilize my weight so that I hover around 124-125 lbs. But we can't figure out why I'm having prolonged nausea and how to remedy it. So far, I have not tested as having malnutrition. I take vitamins daily. My one concern is that I am a bit protein deficient right now even though I take protein supplements every day.

I didn't actively get into eating fruits until 3 months out (other than an unsweetened applesauce cup or the fruit that was in my greek yogurt) but I did have SOME veggies when in soft food stage. One of my favorites to make was a veggie soup with carrots, onion, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, peppers, and vegetable stock. I also started making no-noodle lasagna which is made using zucchini instead of noodles (it's delicious). So early on it's not so much a worry if you don't get a ton of fruits and veggies in as long as get SOME it's better than none.

I could only have about 1.5-2 oz of ground beef, or other meat in a sitting at that time. If I had one bite too much, the same thing would happen to me. Pain, nausea, endless saliva, some foam, more pain. Still happens if I eat too quickly, but the symptoms pass much more quickly now. I have only had literally one bite of pasta on two separate occasions since surgery, so not sure how I would have reacted to that. Pasta is a trigger food for me, so I plan to avoid it for the most part. Maybe once I hit maintenance I will have some once in a while.

That is really unkind. you've lost weight and gotten healthier. I'm sorry they aren't being more supportive, you have so much to be proud of! be kind to yourself.
