You can't change the fact that you had the surgery but please believe, it gets better. Right now, you need to talk to a professional so you can get some relief for the mental pain that you are experiencing. Good luck to you.

I had an unsettling situation occur last week when I was at a work related conference. I was with about 6 other ladies when they started being disrespectful about the weight of another attendee. I was stunned! I immediately thought 'how could they say this stuff in front of me?' I just looked looked around at them in shock. Then it dawned on me; they think I'm one of them! They didn't know that 9 months ago I was her size. I felt like a closeted fat person. A fraud. I came to her defense but they weren't having it. That fat girl just needs to diet and exercise, etc. Everything I've heard my entire life. This was the first time I've ever been in this type of situation. Hopefully I can handle myself better in the future. I feel like I have to stand up for my sisters! Any suggestions on how to handle these types of situations?

Is it gross?

Where do you buy the tea?

How often is OK? I go twice a week if I'm lucky. Often wonder if it's just related to hydration since that's a constant struggle for me.

I'm almost 8 months out and I'm still losing some hair. It has decreased significantly though. I haven't noticed regrowth yet but am looking forward to it!

When did you start losing hair?

Started at 3 months. I just hit my 6 months post op and I still have hair loss. Hoping it stops soon. -
Have her meet someone who has had the procedure.

Sagging skin concerns and looking old.

Not something you should stress about now. Most of the people I've seen who've had significant weight loss look amazing!! -
Good presentation. Wish everyone had his compassion and understanding.

Hi AlI, I have no stress reducing/anxiety reducing/comforting coping mechanisms anymore. A cheese steak and chips..... Pizza........... none of it. Any recommendations?

I get that sensation when I've eaten too much. It usually passes within a half hour. I think the food can't slide into my stomach and is being held in my lower esophagus. Yuck.

Am so tired of people who ask every ten minutes why they're not losing weight

Newbie here. Guess I'll just search/read instead of posting.... -
Hi I am 12 days out and I had the same feelings and issues with water. I took one day to measure out exactly what I was supposed to drink and kept at it. I set the timer for 5 minutes and I would take a sip. It was amazing what this one day did for me. It was like a turning point. The data I read said 39% of patients return to the hospital for dehydration. I wasn't going to be one of those people!!
