Went and got my nails done over lunch and had no place to put my new purse. I was able to sit in the chair with it next to me!

Very impressive! Congratulations on your success

Thanks for the update! and congratulations on your success! You are a great role model!!!

Good luck Bruce Peter!

Oh my gosh RJ! I truely cannot believe the lack of support you have gotten from the medical community and SOME people around you. You (and all of us) deserve so much more. I hope the dietician they are sending you to gives you the support you need. As to your place here on Bariatric Pal? Your voice is so important to us - pre- op or post-op, newbie or veteran. Your insight and perspective and humor are so valuable and needed here! Bariatric Pal would not be the same without you.

Glad to hear you are up and moving! Pleae keep us posted on how you are doing! And if you want to update your profile info you can scroll to the top of the screen and on the right side there should your profile name and next to it a wheel. Select the wheel and then go to "profile." There is an "Edit my profile" button you can push and then update your info. Good luck with everything!!!

Have you had any blood work done lately? If this is a new developement for you it may be that you are malnourished and that is causing your lack of energy and depression. You should check with your doctor. Good luck Kimpossible!!

Good luck! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Congratulations! So happy for you! The holidays will be hard but this is the start of your new life :-) It was the best decision I ever made and I hope the same for you!

Good for you! An early Christmas present! Congrats!!

Welcome & good luck to you both! This is a great forum and I hope you find the support you are looking for!

Thanks for the update Summer! Please keep us posted on how you are doing!

I am 6 months out and I don't really feel hunger yet. I get an empty feeling instead. My doctor did tell me to expect to feel hungry at some point. That is why it is important to establish your healthy eating habits now and learn your limits. Good luck!

Summer, Hoping for the very best possible outcome from your doctor visit. I will be thinking of you on Thursday. Please keep us posted!

Can you call the doctor's office and ask them? Maybe drink some broth or crystal light? That really helped me. Plain Water made me sick (only for the first couple of months.) Good luck!

I made and still make my own soup with lots of chicken, and some onion and carrots. A can of chicken broth and some poultry seaoning and I am good to go. It lasts for a couple of meals too. My doctor and dietician were 100% anti-carb. Best of luck to you!

You look so happy and heathy! Congrats and thanks for the inspiration!

So unprofessional! Best of luck RJ! We are all thinking of you and are hoping for the best outcome!

LOL - my mil used to say to me "I sympathize with you so much. I have been fighting the same 7 pounds my whole life." Really? 7 pounds? Not the same thing at all. Good luck to you!

It's going to be great! I am sure you have a great team behind you. It is life-changing and all for the better. Please keep us posted on how you are doing!
