I know the feeling. I've been practically living in my bedroom far away from the kitchen. lolSent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Me too! It makes me feel a little sad to be to be so separate from my husband and son as they make sourdough toast and slather butter and jam on it, but what else can I do? I high tail it out if the kitchen and into my bedroom SO fast. At this point I would literally die if I tried to eat it anyway but I don't even want to be around it.

I noticed even the Flinstones are disgusting. I never believed my son when he would protest lol. Oops.

That is so fantastic!

When the times comes, and if I still have it even when I reach my goal weight, which I probably will, I'm having lipo.

Looks so good. My mouth is watering!

You mean I can eat something as delicious as this sounds and looks someday? I'm two weeks out and I feel like Oliver Twist at the orphanage, as if I am on a diet of gruel lol. I realize it will be awhile before I can eat this, but I was beginning to think Campbell's Soup was my future for life, and I never liked soup very much anyway! Looks great. I hope you enjoyed it!

You got it! Prayers sent! Good luck! You're going to wake up and think, "I DID IT! I DID IT!" Lol. At least that's how I felt.

I want to be 125 but I woukd throw a party if I reach 140.

Love this- except I refused to get in front of a camera at my heaviest weight. I'm sure I can find some where I am in the background.

Thanks, and believe me, I am starving, which is probably why I am not losing weight. I hate every single food on my list right now. Right now I just hate everything- I hate feeling sore, I hate the time I have taken away from my young son because I have been recovering. When I think about how I let a surgeon take 85% of my stomach out, I want to throw up. It seems so barbaric. I wish I had tried harder to lose this weight on my own or love myself no matter what what size. I wish I could rewind time and cancel my surgery. Plus my mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer recently and I just couldn't have done this at a worse time. I'm really struggling. I'm sorry to hear you are having such a rotten time I'm curious to know what sort of preparation you had before surgery? I hope things improve for you soon Sent from my iPod touch using the BariatricPal App The 2 week pre op diet, plus I had filled out paperwork 3 times in 2 years and chickened out, until now. I watched seminars on you tube, refused to listened to any naysayers who had regrets. I hated myself fat. Until my 30's, I had always been fit, a woman that people looked at when she walked in a room. I loved my shopping too! After over a decade of gaining and gaining, trying every diet out there, my whole family decided this would be best. I gained 60 pounds during my pregnancy and lost it and then some so easily! Around my mid 30's was when I started to use food for comfort. I put on 50 pounds between 2009-2011 and then more and more, averaging 10-12 lbs a year. I'm sure 3 months out I will feel differently. There's just so much going on right now- so many emotions- the shock of my mother's diagnosis (she always took such good care of herself, including her weight). I guess I just thought that by 2 weeks post op, I would be feeling great and I'm not. Unrealistic expectations, I guess.

13 years ago when I got married, I was a beautiful girl at 120 lbs. I just can't believe I gained 100 lbs. my mom wanted me to have the surgery, which is why I did not cancel. She was dxed shortly before my surgery date. I got tired of having to buy bigger and bigger clothes, being uncomfortable in my own skin and knowing that someday it would all catch with me. I was healthy but in 10 years, at 50? I probably wouldn't be. Plus I have the sweetest 9 year old son I want to keep up with. Sorry about your mom. It is the hardest thing to see our parents age and get sick. :/

I get Campbell's soup and filter them through a strainer. If it weren't for those, I wouldn't eat because I don't like much of what is on my menu, being barely 2 weeks out. My husband made pancakes for our 9 year old son this morning and I had to leave the kitchen. I used to be able to eat an entire batch all on my own.

Probably scar tissue?

I had a hiatal hernia repaired anyway during this surgery so that's what I told people. I am not ashamed as there is nothing to be ashamed of, but some people like to judge and at "only" 217 lbs lol, there are many who would tell me WLS was a ridiculous option. So just do what makes things easier for you.

Hope the biopsy comes back ok! I think my surgeon took tissue from me as well. I see him tomorrow and will ask what that was all about. I was sleeved on the 6th and day 2 was HORRIBLE. I think that's pretty typical. Recovery was much more intense than I expected. I am almost 2 weeks out and I expected to be feeling "back to normal", but I a, not. If I worked (I am a SAHM mom), I wouldn't want to or really couldn't go back. My surgeon told me he had people go back after a week. Lies? I have no idea. It hasn't exactly been what I expected and I am in the buyer's remorse stage. I'm sure that will change as I get back to normal. I hope so.

Sorry didn't mean to post twice! New at this.

Got sleeved on Sept 6. Almost at 2 week point. Still sore. Sick of post op liquid diet. Only lost 6 lbs. Having a hard time. Feeing depressed and having regrets.

Hi. I was sleeved on the 6th. Recovery was way more intense than I anticipated. I won't lie. I have regrets everyday and feel depressed. I hope that changes. Almost 2 weeks out. Still sore. Still on liquid diet. Only lost 5 lbs. Disappoiunted. Good luck to you on your journey.

Had mine done on 9/6.
