    Getting Anxiety About Upcoming Holidays

    You will be able to control yourself. i felt the same way. Just tell them you are on a very special high protein diet and if you get off of it, it will end all your hard work. This is one reason alot of of us are overweight. Eat eat they say. No more....Are tell them in alittle bit you will eat. Go have fun. My family was happy to see me thin. 15 years I have been over 200. dont worry have fun girl

    Help My Hair Is Falling Out!

    Your body has had a shock. It will take time to fix it. Hair is dead so putting things on it doesn't work. It can make it look fuller.

    Ready, Set, Go

    it is normal for your mind to go crazy. I would say one more day I can do it. I gave up and just did it. I still struggle with my diet. But it is worth the weight drop. Stay strong if you want a new life. Yes we all say We are happy with are bodies. But it is alot of nice thing with being thinner. Good luck... Find someone close to talk to. Alot of peaple dont understand unless they had the surgery.

    Courious

    I can eat a taco from Taco Bell. It hurt the first time but later it was okay. Pizza is hard, I cant eat that much dough. Taco shells are better then flour for me anyway. I was 3 months out before I ate one. Every one is different. Good luck

    I'm Still Hungry... And Miserable

    This early it might be surgical pain and not hunger. No meds will help. Just work on something to pass the time. I just stayed away from the kitchen spend more time in bedroom on computer or TV. It got better for me as time goes on. Good luck.

    Sooo Many Questions.... No Answers :(

    All doctors have different diets and times. The most important thing is to get your protein in and fluids. You will not have room for carbs. You will not want them. Protein drinks will become your friend. My doctor want 4 drinks a day I could only get in 2-3. Seek out different brands and flavors. Watch the surgar and carb, People working out can have that not you. Sugar will make you sick after surgery. I did me and still does 3 month out. i just read alot on this page and learned alot. Seek out a support group or other tha have had the surgery. Good luck

    Having A Weak Moment! Pull Me Back!

    I hear ya. I worried about that too. But thank god for frozen stuff I say there it is. It is hard but I love it. I eat alittle of bad foods at times but I truely dont enjoy it like I did. I thought it would be hard. I dont like to watch them eat because the size make me sick, I was a diet coke addict. Dont like the taste any more. With most of your stomach removed you really dont want to eat much. I thought I could do one more diet and not the surgery. I failed.. Alot will go threw your mind it still does for me. But I have came to terms that it was the best for me and my family. Hope things work out for you.

    Sleeve's A Secret

    I only told a few but the word got out. People see a big change they figure it out. Most are supportive. Some are judgemental.. Oh well I just tell the one that if they cooked for me I wouldnt of done it. That stops them.

    Loose Skin Is Freaking Me Out....

    Me too. My legs look like they are 80 years old. Good thing for tight pants. Fat or loose skin I will take the loose skin and save for plastic surgery to remove it all. Good luck.

    Belly Button Incision..

    I think this is okay. Your surgeon had to suture it back together. It is like sewing something that isnt flat. It will smooth out later.
