We are finally in!

For me, I think it's from conditioning. Having been fat since childhood, it's basically all I know. Combined with all the times I lost major pounds, only to gain them back, it can be hard to begin to accept that somehow it's going to be different this time. Someday I hope we can reconcile the person we think we see in the mirror, with the person we've actually become.

Pouch stretch?

My apologies Mr. @@winklie! ???? -
I've heard it's possible, but have never personally heard of an actual case.

Pouch stretch?
The Candidate replied to chasingchloee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think there's more chance of eating around your pouch, rather than stretching it. I think that's the main cause for regain. @@winklie gives an excellent example of doing it too. Her friend still can't eat a lot at one sitting, but if you eat the wrong foods, and work all day at getting it in, the weight will return. -
Met my weight loss goal!
The Candidate replied to Jeneen B's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm still in the losing stage, only 13 weeks out, so no advice to share. I just wanted to say congrats on reaching goal after revision surgery. You definitely have a lot to be proud of, and kudos for the hard work! -
Welcome Stephanie! Congrats on your amazing loss! The future is bright and gets better everyday. ????

Second day post-op
The Candidate replied to Ilovecats1985's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The first days/weeks are the roughest. I didn't experience nausea, but a lot of people do. The good news is it gets better... much better. Hang in there and congrats! -
2 weeks beyond surgery still hungry 2,200 calories a day what's wrong?
The Candidate replied to Dallas Powell's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is definitely not normal. I'm 13 weeks out and I'm still under 1000 calories. I would be stuffed to the rafters if I even attempted a Lean Cuisine. I'm just curious as why you tried a Lean Cuisine this early out, as I was still on liquids at this stage. Are you experiencing extreme hunger as well? I'm very curious to hear more of your experience as it develops. I hope your situation improves and best of luck! -
