But here’s the thing.......I want it gone now!!!! Oh well I just have to be patient.

Do not cancel, that would be incredibly lame. I was scared before surgery and had thoughts about cancelling and I am so glad I didnt. I am down 100 pounds in 7 months and feeling much better. Life will be difficult after surgery as the surgery is not a cure all but just a tool to help you lose weight. Think about how many times you have tried to lose weight on your own, maybe you had success but did you have long term success? did you keep the weight off? Being scared is understandable as it is major surgery, but it will be well worth it. It will not be easy but you can do it.

I should probably take measurements but I haven’t been.

That is possibly the best explanation I have read on this site. To the OP I had the same fear you do, right after surgery I was convinced my sleeve was too big because I could drink a lot of Water. Once I moved onto soft foods I realized my sleeve can only handle so much. I still think it is bigger than most, but I am also a big man. I can eat about 6 to 8 ounces of dense Protein in one sitting at 7 months post op.

Quest protein is my favorite protein powder.

I was starving the morning after surgery. I know it was NOT head hunger, it was real hunger.

Don’t take that crap. Your heart will explode. Like for realz explode. Not worth the risk. (I am not a doctor but used to take similar things and almost croaked).

I am serious, my pants are always falling down in the back because I literally have no behind. Hee hee hee, you said titties

Lol, I have the flattest behind in the world. It is basically just legs straight into my back.

I can see Adele. On an unrelated note I think Adele is incredibly overrated as a singer. Either way you are pretty.

You no longer have the escape of food like you used to. You can no longer abuse food. Also, I think the weight loss has affected my medications as well.

Yep, I am in the same boat. I am sick of it. This huge belly is not cool and I want it to shrink damnit.

Food is my drug of choice and I am struggling with managing healthy choices. I want to eat junk food when I am bored, sad, depressed. It is very hard for me. Life after WLS is harder than I imagined it would be. I have hit a stall at 100 pounds lost and it is making me feel worse.

No, marriage is good. Just always sad.

Yep, same here. I was feeling better for like a month or two and then it came back.

Mine was 08-31-17

Sadly, my depression is the same or slightly worse. My OCD is also worse.

It is normal. Happens all the time, people post about it on here all the time. Don’t make a habit of it and learn from it and move forward.

Mine was 3 weeks. Low carb and low fat for 3 weeks.

I have the same issue. I either have to go before the kids get up or after the kids go to bed. I don’t feel like doing either of those right now, so I am not exercising and my weight loss has stalled.

Hello Peeps. How many carbs should we be taking in per day? Less than how many? I am roughly 7 months out. What should be my goal for calories and carbs? I know everyone is different so just looking for some general feedback. I am 6 foot 1 and 335 pounds.

Check with your surgeon but it should be fine. I was allowed to have them on my clear diet. I ate so many of them I cannot eat them anymore. Looking at them makes me sick. Hang in there, it will get easier.

Lol, I hate Easter candy. Especially Peeps.

Good luck. The process can be long but it will be worth it. I am down 100 pounds in six months since surgery.

She is not fictitious, she exists somewhere. I love her where ever she is.
