Don't tell! I've found far more people are judgmental than supportive and I would guess alot of that comes from jealousy or ignorance. Also, when people know you've had surgery they expect you to fail and you'll be forever judged by your size. It's just not worth it. 🤐 Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm just venting. I haven't been on here in a long time and I tried to do things on my own without a support group. Epic fail. I'm 3 years out and I still have restriction, but I've been eating all kinds of crap I know I shouldn't. I do get my Protein in, BUT I can eat a whole bag of Lemonheads candy in one sitting. I really need some encouragement because unless the people I talk to have had a VSG they really don't understand. Please help! Starting to gain weight and never met my goal. ???? ~MississippiQueen~

Yes, let's encourage each other! ~MississippiQueen~

Will do! I had an extra stressful day at work today. I too have a teenage son and my nerves have been bad lately anyway, so that doesn't help matters. I know I need the encouragement! ~MississippiQueen~

I don't know u, but I'll pray for u right now! You'll do great! ~MississippiQueen~

No, I haven't tried those but I will! Thank u ~MississippiQueen~

I paid for mine out of pocket, also. And it does make me feel alone. We have that in common. ~MississippiQueen~

I'm 3 years out VSG and the cravings were gone, like everyone else, at first. Weight loss happened so effortlessly, it seemed. But once you start eating poorly, it gets easier and easier to do. I still have restriction when eating Protein, but I can eat every junk food item with no problems. I know my sweet cravings came back really horribly strong when my ex and I split up. So I know I'm an emotional eater. I'm here for support. I never met my goal weight. Some days I feel like such a failure. ~MississippiQueen~

Beautiful! ~MississippiQueen~

Thanks, y'all. Just feeling really down on myself. I am the one accountable. I'm glad I logged back in here. I've been needing my fellow sleevers!

Feeling like a total failure. That honeymoon phase ended and I wish I'd never told anyone I had gastric sleeve. I still feel restriction with proteins, but exercise is still hard for me to grasp. I initially lost 57 pounds. Gained 20. My lowest weight was 199. I'm tall so that helps, but I'm nowhere near goal. Some days I wonder if I should consider revision to bypass. I have no will power and the liquids/puddings/sweets go down far too easily. THIS MSQUEEN IS SAD.

Ive lost 48 lbs with having exactly 100 lbs to lose. Almost half way there but now it's like Im stuck. Its been a couple of weeks without a lb lost. Feelin like a loser.

No offense to most veterans on here, but sometimes we newbies would like to converse amongst ourselves. Which is primarily why I go to the forums marked BEGINNERS. Most people on this site are very helpful but some are just plain ol assholes. lol

Just want to say I'm loving my sleeve. So glad I cant "glutton out" like the old days any more. This surgery was well worth it.

Will try to make this short. Divorced husband just over a year before surgery. Long story. "Got back together"...he moved back in. He is trying to make it work, I feel like the flame is out. Now that Ive lost 33 pounds he cant keep his hands off me. A little resentful thinking "Im the same 'fat' woman u cheated on & looked at with disgust, albeit a couple of years ago, but the same". Not looking for therapy or advice. Just "ranting & raving".

Surgery November 21st. Down 30 lbs. today!

Anyone else using Dr. Alvarez for gastric sleeve? And why is his price higher than other doctors from Mexico?

I can rant about my 18 yr old daughter who is worrying the hell out of me!!!!

Congrats! awesome job! I agree with you about "everything in moderation". I eat bad foods sometimes but the difference being SMALL amounts & not an entire bag of cookies or crackers. I've stayed away from ice cream & milkshakes. But if I want a slice of pumpkin pie, I have it now (instead of two slices).

cottage cheese is pretty good

I'm just proud to announce I haven't had coffee or Diet Coke since I started my pre-op diet, and I don't really crave them. I never would've thought I could just quit both of them cold turkey!

Not cheating.....did any of you "skip" stages in your post-op phase? I ate soft foods before I was advised to. YES, it's wrong. I already know that. Was just wondering about you other guys.

What if there was a Mississippi Girls room??

tell your husband to kiss your ass!

lol!!!! I think it just means you HAVE an asshole!!!! bahaha good goin, btw!!!!! )))
