That's too funny!!

I am from winnsboro. I used dr sartor- who are U hoping to use?

Lanacane sells chafing cream that is off the hook:) anti monkey butt works excellent too but I love the lanacane!!

Peace queen I'm feeling u!! Idk why I am the way I am- I'm going to start seeing a counselor- he has had the surgery and maybe that will help with my mind war! I'm visiting grandparents for two weeks and it's taking every oz of energy to say no to the tortillas breakfast noon and night!!!!of u want I will give u my number and we can text for support!! Specially at crucial times!!! Lol you are not alone

No that Is excellent!!! I trail ride too and come in starved! I don't journal at all and I'm goin to try really hard to stop drinking with my meals. I am 5 4 and started at 258 and am now 230. I love tips and know that I am not giving my sleeve the help it needs to do its job. Thank you for givin me your thoughts!! Wish we were close! That's what I need is others aroun where I live but I find many people don't wanna talk about being sleeved in person?

I want to know who is eating normally? I was sleeved 3/21 and I eat like a regular person except very small amounts. I can not do no sugar- artificial sweetners make me cramp and yes I have tried all kinds. I am not losing as fast as others and feel really depressed about it. I walk 6 days a week 30 min/day. Before surgery I never exercised so some days I feel like yay I am making progress but then there are days like today when I realize I am not having to buy new clothes yet. Yes they my clothes are getting really loose but not hanging off of me. I know I totally sound like a whiner buy I just wanted to know if there Are any more sleeves like me that haven't turned completely healthy with their eating.

Thank y'all so much! I feel like I have total support unlike my "real life" lol. By eating normally I mean normal everyday food- just tiny portions. For example, we went to dairy queen and I had a half a taco. I drink with my meals cause I absolutely cannot handle food getting stuck in my throat. I don't drink carbonated drinks AT ALL. Yes I tried once without thinking and let me tell you I will never try that again. I have lost 30 lbs total since dos 3/21. I haven't been back to my surgeon because last time I went for a check up the nurse practitioner told me she was very disappointed with my weight loss and I must not be following the rules. At that time I was but I figured o well I might as well do what I want cause apparently it couldn't hurt. I started out with my 22's holding on for dear life and now my 20's are pretty loose but I haven't had to buy anything yet. I paid out I pocket and sometimes I wonder if I'm just sabotaging myself cause I'm not following "the rules". I def get in my protein but get hungry about every 3 hrs.

So glad to read your thread!!!! I feel like a complete failure too. (not everyday but most days) I'm just ready to see some real changes. I know I should be more strict but I would be even more depressed lol.

That is great!! I still won't let anyone take pics of me!!

Deseret mom you hit The nail on the head for me!! I am exactly the same with food and wish I could "forget" to eat!!

A good month 1/2

I feel ya! I shed a many of tear over the food I could not eat...... It does get better but Like I said my trade off is I'm loosing but not near as fast others but I am loosing and I eat. Lol I started at 256 on 3/21 and am at 232 today

Am 7 weeks out and plain water at any temp still hurts my stomach and makes me nauseous.......anybody else? Does anyone know why???? I used to love ice cold water and now I can't drink it:(

I had serious depression. That's some sickness right there and it just goes to show how seriously I did in fact need this surgery. I was depressed and mad because I couldn't stuff my face and body into oblivion. I have no regret now and thank the Lord for blessing me enough to be able to afford what most people only wish for.

I totally feel y'all- I thought I was the crazy person for crying over food- I went through withdrawals and thats when I faced that I am a food addict. Just like drugs- I took it one step at a time and still do- I eat anything I want but just a pinch. I'm not loosing super fast but I'm not in constant turmoil either. Food no longer controls my life. It is truly the greatest feeling in the world . It will get better but it is awful the first couple of weeks. That y I gave my username crazy cravings I was seriously loosing my mind lol.

I've only lost 30 and I already need the breast lift and implants!! I was always a D and then a DD while breastfeeding all 4 children LOL.......am sooooo looking forward to that boob job!!!

Me too.....to make matters worse I had finally come to accept that I was loosing slowly only to have my np tell me I was not loosing successfully. She said I should be loosing way more than that and she was dissappointed with my progress. Made me feel like crap. I'm doing what I'm suppose to and following diet guidelines . Idk what I'm doing wrong to keep the weight from "falling off"...........

I feel ya pistal35- my mil and close friends I haven seen in months just saw me and didn't even mention a word- they couldn't even tell I'd lost weight. I'm like REALLY???

Me too tautry..... I was sleeved on the 21....I've lost 25 and I'm kinda bummed. I can eat what I want.

I am guilty of not exercising like I should too. I get out and walk and ride horses but I do not commit to 30-45 min of "exercising".

I went thru the 3 week stall and now I'm in a 5 week stall......it is frustrating but I try and remember that before the sleeve I was in a lifetime stall........ I was sleeved on march 21 and weighed 258 on surgery day and am only down 238. Some people say well u coulda saved all that money and done that on your own but I couldn't of because I was a food addict. Idk I am upset but all I can do is try harder.

No you are hungry and not the head hunger either. I had it for 3 weeks but it was frustrating becaus ei couldn't eat and I was extremely hungry. It got better once I could eat food but I get hungry every 4 hrs. Good news is a few bites does the trick!! It was very difficult and I found myself becoming depressed but I have since snapped out of it lol;) you are not alone!!

Ok- I have been having the worst indigestion ever Nd I'm 4 weeks out. It is constant and I haven't told my surgeon yet. It is terrible!!!
