I believe sometimes we forget that our bodies are temples. We abuse them in so many ways. We stuff our faces and gain weight not taking in consideration how our bodies feel about this. It takes alot for an obese person to stand up and say I cant do this to my body anymore. That is why I see everyone of us as a hero to ourselves. We are saving the life of our bodies. We need to stand up and be proud that we are doing something that even skinny people cant do. I wish everyone great success. I am proud of myself and each and everyone who took a stand to protect one of their greatest assets( your temple)

While reading these comments it occured to me why and who taught these people to be the way they are. Their parents and peers. I dont ever think us overweight people will ever be accepted in society. It took decades for people of color, gays and lesbians and even women to be finally treated equal. As for us I pray in my lifetime that maybe just maybe we will be accepted.

He better watch what he says Karma is a B!ITCH. Its us fat parents who buy our children their clothes! Hey if he doesnt want my money Im fine with it lol.

NUTELLA. The devil makes it. I could eat a whole jar if its in my possesion lol.

Look at his picture! He is ulgy inside and out!!! At least us fat folks can lose weight. You cant fix ulgy even with all the money or clothing in the world!!!

You look great! Sooo much younger. Congratulations :-)

Laura I feel your pain about Aussie, I am very worried about her. I am dealing with some of her issues as well. She needs to let someone in to help her and get these problems took care of. Im afraid she might be self medicating with alchol instead of seeing her doctor. I hope she reads all these post and realize that we care for her and only want for her to get better. Please Aussie if your reading these reach out and let one or all of us help you. Even if its just listening to what you are going through.

Well I fell off the wagon rolled down the hill and got hit by the train lol. My daughter brought home a large jar of nutella and wouldnt ya know that is my biggest weakness. Lol. I ended uo eating about a quater of the jar and I feel sick. I think the devil made nutella it is so sinful and delicious!!!! Someone give me some strenght to throw the rest away, before my spoon jumps in the jar again.

You look absolutely marvelous my dear! Congratulations :-)

The pain is always one of the worst side effects there is in the begining. It took me about 2 weeks and then I finally started to feel normal day after day. Take it slow, get the well deserved rest that your body needs and before you know it the pain will subside and you will be yourself again with lbs coming off.

Im so sorry you feel so frustated and sad. It will get better I promise. Your poor body just went through a major trama and is trying to heal its self. The weight will come off your body just has to catch up with your brain that you are ok. We all had the buyers remorse one way or another. Just please keep your head high and watch in the next few days the lbs will be falling off.

You look great! Very pretty lady.

Wow what a difference! You look awesome! Keep up the great work.

Congratulations! You look great!

To start with you do need some counseling. As for your sleeve streching maybe you can start over again like in the pre op stage. I wish you the best and hope you find the answers that you are looking for.

I would just walk away from them! I would not give them the satisfaction of seeing me angry. There are alot of people in this world just like them who think they know everything. Violence does not solve anything only intelligence does. Keep your head high dont let mean people bring you down to their level. You did the right thing!

Yes I have two more. So far they are staying in place and not moving around. I am doing great right now. How are you doing? I hope everything is going well. I try and read everything you post so I can keep up with you.lol. Even though I dont post alot I do want you to know that you are my hero on here. You post exactly the same thoughts and feelings that I and many others have. I want to say thank you for giving me hope knowing there are people out here just like me.

I misinterpreted myself when I said I was regreting this surgery. What Im regretting is the complications I have had so far. Kidney stones to be exact, I found out on last wednesday they are from to much protien and calcium. I have to cut back on the animal protien and my calcium suppliments. As for this surgery yes I would do it again with all the complications that have come with it so far.

So proud of you! I know you can win this war with food. As for the great man in your life, sit him down and explain your frustration. Let him know you had a moment of anger and that your over it.

I got a pm this morning from a member here who brought this to my attention. Are some of the medications we are on making us slow losers or making us gain some weight? She said she was on a sleep aid that her Dr. put her on and come to find out that medication was also used to help someone gain weight. She has been taking this medicine for 7 years, exactly around same time she started gaining weight. She has now chaged medications. This might need to be something to look into if maybe your stalled, or not losing weight. Check your medications.

I also have some cyst on my kidneys. Found out I have stones as well. Hopefully on Wednesday I can find out exactly what is causing the stones and cyst. Good luck
