July 2021 Surgery People!

I have passed my goal weight , Hit between 52kg and 53kg And have stopped losing now , I’m happy with where I am , I look and feel amazing , have lost 37kg The only downside now is my family telling me I’m starting to look sick and I need to stop losing weight , (I think I look amazing lol) I’m a healthy weight not underweight And comments like these are the only thing bringing me down I have noticed myself snacking more And being able to eat more Hopefully I don’t fall into a bad routine Have to learn to stop myself snacking so much and I haven’t exercised or done any activities so I should really get on that -
6.5 months , total loss 33.5kg 73.8 lbs

Thankyou !! I randomly got unbearable pain in my chest and under my breasts and back , and went to the hospital not knowing what the problem was, I was told I have gallstones , and have been getting these attacks every few days , I can’t even describe the pain it’s just intensifying pain that literally takes ur breath away, So the doctor told me I need my gallbladder removed ASAP So Thursday is my surgery :) -

Thankyou for the reply , I have had 4 attacks just this weeks I hope they do this surgery soon, I feel like I’m having a heart attack every time ! My recovery from the sleeve was pretty bad for the first 2 weeks , I’m praying it won’t be as bad ! 😢

I am struggling to take a few sips of water I just had to take 10mls of my medication and just that was so hard to swallow , I hope I am not doing something wrong. How long until this pain fades away -

My usual weight was always a 57-63 max , started going through depression, taking medications , anxiety , and I was stress eating , depression eating , annoyed at the husband eating , everything made me eat , until I got to my highest of 89kg -
Good luck with everything !! Hope it all goes good for U ❤️
