I say do what u have to do to take care of u!

Wow I would have been loss without my shakes. I still drink one for breakfast.

Ty!

Anorexia is a mental health issue where people intentionally starve themselves. We chos to have wls to better our health and have a longer life span. I eat to fuel my body not starve it

Hey there!

I didn't plan my last meals because I knew they weren't my last meal. I did start eating 1/2 portions about 3 months pre-opt. I find it really helpful to just down size portions. Now my portions are really down sized.

Why wait for him to hurt you again? He will do it repeatedly. You posted this for a reason and you are looking for answers. Everyone here has given you the answer you wanted to hear, so now it's time to take care of you. Get out before you get hurt again. A wise woman takes care of them self. Of course I mean no harm, but this is a reality check. I hope you make a healthy decision.

I'd say just do it.........

My heart goes out to you! Been there, done that.....God speed healing coming your way!

That's hilarious! I have the same problem and am looking into getting a knee pillow also. Thanks Rootman!

Adover: what did you nut recommend that you do? Up your carbs? Just curious. I get up in the am and am light headed also. Sometimes shakey too. I thought it was dehydration but I get in 65ozs a day. LovieC: Congrats on your surgery. This is something that you might want to discuss with your surgeon and nut. Also, you might use My Fitness Pal (myfitnesspal.com) to count everything your eating to get a better pic. It is really important right now that your diet is mainly Protein to maximize weight loss.

Thank you gamer.... I like this better than a morphine drip.....

Hummm, I have never heard of a pain ball. Can you share what it is? Thanks

This is really common.....We pretty much avoid looking in mirrors at our bodies because we are discussed with ourselves. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence too. But in reality, it's totally not greener. Our bodies are very unique and will lose weight at different portions and then redistribute the weight as time goes by. You are a beautiful person and it's time to see your body in a different light......

You got to be awake when they did it? I just had mine and they put me in a twilight sleep. It was easy. I only got to see the pics afterwards. One of the nurses told me to breath through my nose during the procedure and next thing I knew, I was gone. It was a piece of cake too......I had a spot in my stomach that was raised and they did a biopsy. Won't know the results for 7 days.

The truth be known, u have changed and there's nothing wrong with that.....u need to get out and enjoy life or U will regret it. Ur boyfriend needs to put on his big boy pants and shake off his anxiety an go out and have fun with u. This is a perfect time to go get some counseling.

You really should track your food on my fitness pal. You'd be surprised on how quickly the calories add up. And I also agree with previous posters about chating with your surgeon and nut. Let us know what's going on.

Girl you are really ROCKIN that sleeve! Keep it up.....

I wasn't able to eat soft foods until around 6 weeks out. I was eating pureed foods at this time an it was really helpful. I did eat a lot of yogurt and sf pudding and jello. My stomach really liked those. Hope you get better but becareful with what you eat. You don't want to get a leak.

This is typically what happens. We get in a stall so that the inches can come off to catch up with the lost lbs......Don't worry, you will be losing lbs again really soon. You are so not done.........Be patient and enjoy the ride. Change old eating habits and recognize ways you might sabotage yourself later on.

I have a size 32 boughie and it is just perfect. Just had an endoscopy done this past monday and my stomach looks perfect. Just like an Italian sausage LOL. I do wish that my boughie could have been a 28 or 30 though. I really want restriction so I can't eat too much......

That was a really quick stay. I was in the hospital for 2 nights and was very thankful for my Morphine drip.... Actually this is time to be focusing on your water intake so you don't get dehydrated. Protein can wait. I too had thoughts of "what did I do to myself?" but quickly reframed to "I want to be thin and healthy and enjoy my life...

JeanMR1: a bougie is the guide they use when removing the stomach. I had to call my surgeon's office and ask them. They told me my bougie was a 32........Maybe you can check with your surgeon and ask what size they used.....Let us know if you can. Thanks

keep up the good work! You look beautiful....

You guys so rock! What kind of foods do you eat? If you don't mind me asking. I so miss the tickers we use to have until they were deleted on our sites.........
