ray all i can say is wow momof ive been having those days as well hang in there last night was the worst i fought myself all eveing, let me tell you. i went to suppor group which was great while i was there. when i got home my head was going crazy it kept saying go get some fast food you are hungry, so i would grab my keys and than put them down, than i found a menu to order to my house i did make the call but the hold was so long i hung up, than my head so go to the corner store get some chips and candy but i couldnt move my body. i ended up taking 2 downers ate some pb and crackers and called it anight. man what a battle

the first one is this year and i remember feeling really down this day, my job went on an outting and everyone looked so cute and tiny and i felt like a lump of whatever and that day one of the younger girls chose to sit by me on the bus, before she sat down she was like i hope i fit WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTT. my feelings were so hurt, of course she was like i didnt mean it like that, yeah right she is all of 23 petite with booty and gets major attention. I didnt understand why she had to put me down. do this child know when im smaller i put her body to shame. lol the second one was taken last week

i have been doing really good ive lost 30lbs in 8 weeks i eat what i am suppose to do, i even started working out. why do i feel so sad this always happen to me when im losing weight its like i set myself up for failure or something. i can be doing good and instantly at times i get this ugly feeling of i will not reach goal i will not lose weight, this isnt going to work. i felt really good yesterday. i had a normal morning ate breakfast, went to the store, came home cleaned out a cabinet, fixed my food for the day, and showered got dressed for work and thats where i am now. and i feel like crap i ate clean today and worked out so i should feel upbeat. PLEASE talk to me i need my fellow sleevers right now.

today is a little better. i think its just no food for comfort anymore. food was my friend to have something good and watch tv. i know i know i dont live that life anymore but dang

im not where i want to be but ive come a long way

i went through the same thing as you two days ago i posted about it. i know how you feel and you are not alone. i too feel like im going to fail. i feel a little down today when to get my pressure checked and it was elevated and the 5lbs i lost well 3 are back and didnt do anything wrong. ive battled depression and anxiety for years and i am fighting it right now because i dont want to go back to that dark place. WHY ARENT WE HAPPY. your results are awesome you are doing an awesome job but i completely understand. hang in there and keep posting

thanks kathy iggy she has major body issues she has a nice body but always complain so yes she dont like herself so to pull herself up that day she had to tear me down. i cant wait till i reach goal this 47 will look 23 jodr thanks

you might still be swollen it will change once the swelling go down

my face earlier this year. i forgot how long my face was and that i had a pointy chin lol

i agree with everyone. my thoughts on this is we are treated like rny patients. we stillhave our stomach its just smaller and we have a pyloric valve theirs is now man made i think that makes a differance. i drank coffe for years and never had an ulcer now i had that damn h pylory crap and still didnt get an ulcer. again we are treated like rny patients we are not like them at all. anyone agree

i feel a lot better today. thank you for all your support

my nut put it this way. our stomach are really small and there is no room for ulcers and drinking caffeine can cause an ulcer. im having coffee today because i need to pee lol

ones who stills feels hunger - real hunger, NOT head hunger - please let's not start that debate again ). lol

becca i got on the scale today and guess what it was up 3lbs sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh. i know why it was the excess sodium about 3 days ago. now i have to get this water off of me. green you are very welcome. i know we are not suppose to drink caffiene but i have to drink coffee today to release some of this water wieght. plus ive been doing squats and building muscle the water gets trapped in there. so a grande americano for me today and lots of water. after losing 5lbs last week and gaining 3 with in a few days it got me down. this is one of the reasons i dont want to do toning right now because i am a scale person and muscle wieghs more than fat. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

holly that man loves you regardless and thats a good thing. your sister is focused i need to learn that. artsong im feeling that right now the scale is up 3lbs and i know why, sodium i got to get this Water off. oh and ive been doing lower body workouts grrrrrrrrr cant win for losing sometimes. before i so feel the same way, man i want to be normal like thin ppl who dont worry about wieght. minime i will be here for you girlie

when will i realize i am not on a diet? do anyone else feel this way, its like im programmed to think im on a diet and the diet will fail like all the others. weird

imskinny it was chicken and i did microwave it to heat it up. hummmmmmm how wierd

yea i thought i could alter mines before. nottttttttttttttttttttt lol

kelly thank you and i pray you get better. i have been off meds for few years now. im hoping this passes.

this is why i slimmed I found this ariticle going through google i hope it helps someone understand how food and beverage work in our new tummy's First, I’m not a doctor nor have I ever played one on TV. This may be old news to some..... But I’ve noticed a lot of people who have had VSG do not have any idea how the Pyloric Valve works. This is my understanding how the Pyloric Valve works. The Pyloric Valve function and how it pertains to your VSG. The function of your Pyloric valve is the single most not talked about important part of understanding how and when you should eat and drink. The Pyloric Valve is just that....It is a valve that is located at the bottom of your stomach/sleeve. This valve is in between your sleeve and the lower intestine. The basic definition of a valve is an apparatus that opens and closes. When open this valve it is about the diameter of a dime. When closed it’s opening is closed down to the diameter of the head of a ballpoint pen. Dense Proteins and harder to digest foods will cause the Pyloric valve to close to hold the food in your stomach for pre-digestion...... stomach acids breaking down this “Rough” food. That’s why we are told to eat dense proteins first.....To close the Pyloric Valve so food stays in your stomach/sleeve longer so we have a sense of satisfaction. It takes about 30-60 minutes for the food to clear the Pyloric Valve...... Than it’s OK to drink. That is also where the term slider food comes into play. A slider food does not close the Pyloric Valve and as the term is intended.....food slides right past an open Pyloric Valve. There is a video that gets posted every so often that is supposed to explain food going past the Pyloric Valve. The guy uses a funnel and has apple sauce or something in it....and it shows the apple sauce dripping out the end of the funnel very slow. Than he pours Water on top of the apple sauce to dilute it, illustrating drinking after eating.....and the diluted apple sauce runs through the funnel end faster. Than he concludes that this is how your pyloric valve

enig thank you so much and you are so right on point. thank you again
