I'm sick all the time... I'm either nauseous, upset to the stomach, or in actual pain. The closest I could gather the pain might be is hunger pains. I'm never actually hungry but I always feel kind of jealous when people are able to eat when I can't. I can not tolerate most carbs now. Rice, pasta, bread... those dont sit well at all. Interestingly, I can easily tolerate most proteins. Cheeses and eggs of all sorts are easy for me as well as deli meats or canned meats. Anything with a bunch of grease or excess sugar make me vomit right away. I still vomit at least once on most days. Sometimes without even eating anything. It's as if my stomach is telling me to not even consider eating anything. Also, I've been getting migraines, dizzy spells, and serious fatigue. When I try to bring these things up to my doctor she just kind of brushes it all off as if it's all normal but I sure don't feel normal. The only advice she had was that maybe I should take a multivitamin if I want to... Sent from my SM-S767VL using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my sleeve done on December 10th. I had/have a lot to lose but I've lost 70 pounds since my surgery date Sent from my SM-S767VL using BariatricPal mobile app

I've had a hard run but after much heartache, I finally had my surgery on December 10th. The picture of me in the gray shirt was taken at my highest weight. That was my nephew's first xmas. The picture with the red shirt was taken a few days ago. Same sweet boy, same (but shrinking) auntie Gigi. I am having multiple issues but the weight seems to be easily coming off. I hope that others are doing well with all of your recent surgeries. Top weight: 427 Surgery weight: 385 Current weight: 317!!

I have my wife on video chat and messenger. My dad is here but since my mom passed he's severely depressed and he's not exactly good company. My sister is close by but she's the type that always worries about her and hers first. She has no worries about me unless it directly effects what she wants or what she needs me to do for her. My wife will be here in April and I think by then things will be better Sent from my LML212VL using BariatricPal mobile app

I understand that getting the surgery was the best option for me to be healthy. I honestly only regret the process that I went through. I was not well informed about what was happening step by step, how to deal with any if it, or what to expect after surgery. I was not treated like an adult that deserved respect. Any time I had tried to voice concerns I was brushed off as if nothing I said or felt was worth caring about. My two supporters can not be with me right now. My mom passed away in October and I'll be fighting immigration this year to get my wife over here with me. It's just been really hard doing it by myself Sent from my LML212VL using BariatricPal mobile app

I am always nauseous and I vomit pretty often. My surgeon refuses to see me because I was being treated like a drug addict when I told them I was in pain. I ended up telling the surgeon that this was the worst decision of my life and she's an awful doctor. I'm currently only able to keep down much other than scrambled eggs and coffee. It's been pretty rough so far Sent from my LML212VL using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm sorry about that. My original surgery date was supposed to be May 2nd. I was rescheduled a half dozen times before I finally had gastric sleeve on December 10th 2018 Sent from my LML212VL using BariatricPal mobile app

I have been ill almost constantly since my surgery on the 10th. At first I didn't pass gas for four days. I was concerned but after being able to have a bm, my body decided that it would only tolerate any type of food on one of two conditions. I either have an upset, angry stomach or I'm in the bathroom shortly after consuming anything. Has anyone heard of this? Is it a normal side effect from the surgery?

I got my surgery on December 10th. I am very often sick and I'm having the hardest time. Not much support as my wife is not living here with me right now. It's incredibly difficult to deal with everything when I feel alone Sent from my LML212VL using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my surgery on December 10th. I also have a lot of worries but I just try to keep on drinking. I drink a lot of water and I worry about my protien intake. I was mostly pain free after only about 5 days. So I would think that part is normal Sent from my LML212VL using BariatricPal mobile app

Andrea and I certainly are still together. We're getting married in April. My mom was helping me plan it out and save up for the expenses. I know now that she had planned to pass me her wedding ring that my grandma passed to her when she married my dad. It's a lovely ring but it doesn't fit me right now. I think maybe it will by April. It hurts that she didn't get the chance to pass it on herself and instead I got such a bittersweet gift after she passed. I wonder sometimes if she wasn't happy. I wonder if I were doing better if my mom would or could have held on. She wasn't even sick. She just randomly left us. The doctors couldn't give us a reason for why this happened. I'm starting to think she left because she felt like things weren't going in the direction she wanted. Like maybe she died of a broken heart because her oldest daughter has been the most heartache Sent from my LML212VL using BariatricPal mobile app

I have a therapist that comes to see me every other week. I got lucky and somehow ended up with a lady that comes to my house but I'm one of those people who doesn't really get much out of it. I have been in and out of therapy since before I was even a teenager. I keep seeing the lady in hopes that I'll have some kind of breakthrough. My mom would be proud. I know that but it's hard that she can't be here to see the progress, to celebrate with me. I try to stay busy with our business. We're open seven days a week and we're expanding and starting new product lines. My mom wanted to see me running the store efficiently and she wanted me to be healthy and happy. Those were her two big things. It kills me that my mom never got the chance to see that that's going to happen. I think the hardest thing is that right now there's so many things in the works that my mom can't be here for. I'm getting married soon and my mom never got the chance to pass her wedding ring onto me. She won't get the chance to see me marry my queen. She won't get to see my stepson run this business when he's older. She won't sit with me and watch Dr Who. She won't see me become a healthier me... I guess it comes down to me just really missing my mom and not having the comfort of food. Food has always been my safe haven. It's never let me down.

My surgery was a long time coming. I went through a short period where I had convinced myself I could do it on my own. Obviously, that didn't work. My mom was helping me every step of the way. She was so supportive and really wanted it for me. She wanted me to be healthier and in turn happier. My surgery had already been pushed 3 times and I was close to just forgetting about it. I finally thought I had a set date of Oct 22. I thought for sure that would be it but then tragedy struck. My mom, my biggest supporter suddenly passed away. I can not explain how heartbroken I was and still am but I knew my mom really wanted this for me. I even told my doctor that I still wanted the surgery, that I had to do it for my mom but they pushed it once again. Apparently ten days after the loss of my mom was too soon to do it. I was rescheduled for December 10th. The surgery went pretty well and I'm recovering fine. Both of my patently already had surgery years ago. My dad to save his life and my mom because she had so many stomach problems not because of her weight. They both had told me that my appetite would pretty much disappear. That is not the case at all. It's ridiculous because I'm not hungry. I have no hunger at all. I just want to eat. I've found myself chewing on food and spitting it out just so I can taste something. I had a tiny cookie today and I felt guilty, like I was doing something bad. Exactly like I did when I was a kid and would sneak food. I've literally been big my whole life. I was an 8 pound baby even one month premature. I know I have some kind of mental problem having to do with food. I feel like as soon as I'm physically able to eat real food again that my weight loss will halt and I'll just gain all of it back. I'm scared but I don't know what to do. Please don't bash me. I've been through enough and I don't have my comfort anymore. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, guys! Good luck to you as well. Accomplishing goals and starting a better way of life isn't easy either way. Whether it be with or without surgery it's a journey and a struggle any way you go about it. The best we can do is take care of ourselves and look out for each other.

I already did most of the pre op stuff and I even have approval from my insurance. But my life situation change along side three surgical centers turning me away. I was turned away because even though my insurance will pay I'm still considered a high risk patient because they believe I will put the weight back on. So, that sucks but it made me realize that I need to make some serious life changes. I need to figure myself out and get out of these bad habits. So, my parents called me in to help them run their business. Now, I'm working full time ×2, I'm trying to change bad habits, and I have dropped 35 pounds on my own so far. I'm starting to feel like I should at least give it a fair go and honestly try to do it on my own before taking a leap to surgery. I mean surgery is serious. I am working on being more confident in myself and it does help to know that if or when I need it, I could fall back on the surgery option. Wish me luck guys and gals! I totally support anyone who is working on themselves no matter the tools they use to do so. If anyone needs a listening ear, feel free to reach out to me. We could be each others cheer leaders. Good luck and blessed be, friends. Sent from my SM-J737P using BariatricPal mobile app
