I had my surgery 4/17/2015. I’ve lost 110 pounds. I fluctuate between like 5lbs. I’m in a rut right now with eating all my guilty pleasures. But I do go to the gym 5 days a week. I actually had some plastic surgery done as well for the loose skin. How has your journey been?

I had the same surgeon. He was great!

Have you had a good fall of the wagon struggle after your surgery? I’m two and a half years out. Best shape of my life. I go to the gym 5 days a week- cardio and weights. I recently had plastics done too. My problem right now is giving into my temptations everyday. It’s been so bad lately. Today I ate like 2 king size candy bars and a piece of cake. It’s like I’ve lost control over my eating again.

That is an absolute HIPAA VIOLATION. Big issue.

I had my twice the month of my surgery. It's was messed up the next month, too. Eventually in became regular again.

You look amazing!!!!!!!!! You must feel wonderful

I'm in Maryland! Sleeved 4/16/2014. down 83lbs

I am freaking starving all the time!!

Awesome job!!!

Hello everyone, today is post op day 6 for me and I'm a wreck. Extremely weak and fatigued. The pain has gotten better and I was finally able to have a BM last night, which made me feel somewhat better. I have just been having extreme feelings of regret. The reflux is unbearable. I've been waking up every night and now it's to the point I can't eat anything without the lava creeping up my throat. I've been sleeping with 3 pillows to help with the general pain and the reflux. It's helped somewhat. Let's see.. I'm also having vivid dreams of me going out and eating massive amounts of pizza and burgers- that could be the pain meds. The relief I feel when I realize I didn't do it is awesome. Right now I feel hungry and tired. I've been getting about 40-50g Protein in a day and about 50 oz of fluids. Today I've barely had any. I take protonix daily-switched to night to see if it would help and it didn't- and have been taking a lot of rolaids through out the day. Milk seems to be the only thing that helps. I'm just so miserable. My husband is in school and is working ft so I'm home alone most of the time and have to get my son to and from school. I have no family here in MD. No help at all. I'm freaking the hell out. Breaking down a lot. I knew it would be hard but I don't know. I start puréed tomorrow. We will see if I can tolerate it. Max weight at the start was 275. Lost 20lbs prior to surgery 255. I have lost 6lbs from the surgery 4/17 pretty much by starving to death. I just need some comfort here.

Thank you all for the replies!!
