My wife had it done , believe it or not 17 yrs ago but is still struggling with it she is very supportive me having it done but is still giving me advice on the gastric bypass she was doing really well for a long time until she started having a lot of issues around dumping and getting sick all the time, i don't think im going to have to lose any weight before the SX im up to 290 however only 5 8 but ill know soon enough when i have my next appt , i had my first one this morning it went awesome, how are you doing bud ? PS: you had better br good i just might get the boys after you....kidding ...LOL

thats awesome i took it the wrong way i am happy for you we have talked before how are you doing tek😎

My wife is not a part of this site but she regrets she ever had it done she says to me all the time if she knew she'd have the problems she is having now she would have never given it a seond thoughti'm sorry you are having regrets it must be discouraging.I hope you feel differently down the road.

WOW talk about acting better than, i wish you well.

Tony can you please back off i dont need tour ego right now.I'm javing a great day buddy.

i am not being defensive and it would make sense now i would be seeing i am being accused as such im trying my best to be a part of his site and now its going to be even harder to "belong " and who are we to make others aware of being of such behaviors we are all in this together right , anyway thats how i feel and i am entitled to this, thank you grady cat 🙂 for your support or makin it clear.

Im sorry you feel that way but i am not at all defensive thank you.I think you are reading into my posts a little to much Keith, have a good day, i mean that i am really not being defensive.😎 Coop

Toodlerue : help me understand what you're referring to when you said you read all my posts the last 4 months i have only been on here about a month.

Thanks Keith for the advice i appreciate it !

Do you mean "adjusting" your back ?

Can someone tell me what is "revision" mean is it a surgery of some type i am just curious.

😎

You are not failing it sounds like you're trying to do to much to soon in that you're thinking you are eating to fast perhaps you are , my wife had gastric bypass years ago and she told me when she catches herself eating to fast she puts the fork down so that literally stops her from eating all together and it makes her aware what she's doing , she also told me in between bites even if she is not eating to fast she still puts' her fork down to get her in the habit of stopping herself from doing this , am i making sense, i cant say i know how you feel but i can tell you i eat fast and at times she watches me eat she says to me " if i ate as fast as you do i would get sick" i, i can only imagine how you must feel i can sense that you might be putting pressure on yourself to do it "perfect" there is no way to do it "perfect" there is only one way and that is your way and that's to try and slow down and remember its not a race therefore slow down the good thing is you are aware of it and that's huge some people never make that connection you did so you're a step ahead of the diet be gentle with yourself you will be ok i promise coming here and venting is so ok that's what we are here for , i am here if you want to talk and if we become friend who knows i wish you well truly i do just relax the rest will fall into place.😊 Coop

They scheduled your surgery huh , that is awesome , good for you i bet you're excited to get it done and over with and start your life on a fresh start ( if that makes any sense, i may not have had any conversations with you but i want to congratulate you , you deserve it , we all do right , i was thinking why not stay in touch let me know how you're doing , my name is Rich but everyone calls me Coop, god bless you and i wish you well on your SX i have to be honest i am just a little bitty jealous LOL, take care of yourself , hope to talk with you soon. Coop PS: what kind of fish you eating ?

Can someone please tell me what exactly is "binge eating" does it mean you eat then force yourself to throw up , is it something you do such as eat as much as you can until youre almost sick , i know nothing about this disease and i want to know as much as i can because i will be that much better off , i would really like to know is why does ther stomach make growling noise does that mean youre hungry ? ☘️

I am Irish and my family thinks they can make underhanded remarks about my weight ALL THE TIME and they ;augh about it more often than not and they know its hurtful yet they do it all the time and i am so tired of it remarks such as " here comes porky here comes chubby or look it here is fatty it goes right through me and i laugh it off because if you get defensive or if they see they get a rise out of you they only do it even more don't need to be reminded about my weight thank you very very much , so i have to say to you if try make remarks i know it's hard try to ignore it because bullies like to pick on people who feed their ego but they are the weak minded ones they will get theirs one day karma is a beautiful thing trust you ignoring them it makes them crazy again i know its h hard but do your best to just look away you're the better person by not feeding their foolishness they're not worth it, you're worth it, more then you know.

I'm happy for you, you deserve it on the road to a better life of health awesome.

It is NEVER ok to tell someone you're fat ever and if they do they clearly have no boundaries whatsoever i am sorry if this is happening to you it's not right and it's not fair its not even ok to tell ourselves we are fat its shameful and degrading , i am real sorry you're going through this no one deserves such shame based language based hurt , i hope you can put these people out of your life they don't deserve someone like you in theirs , have a great day and remember you're special in you own way regardless of what others think of you...period. ☺️

Am i wrong for eating a half of a peanut butter sandwich( i try to stay clear of bread) and a whole muffin last night because i feel guilty like i did something wrong, when i am looking for something sweet i eat a keto bar and it does the trick and tonight for dinner my wife and i are getting a pizza and we never get a pizza , am i acting out through food am i being reckless , i don't know i just i have to buckle down and get serious with this program otherwise i could possibly get denied ( am i making any sense) i really believe i am thinking way to much my PCP just put in my consult for gastric bypass and i have my first virtual appt April 1st i guess i am a ways away from my surgery i am a very thorough guy and i like to have things in order beforehand so there are no screw ups when the time comes ,anyway ,i have to be honest when i write a post i am never sure what to say or if i will even get a response , i guess i just need to relax and hopefully i can make some friends in the process.

I wish i could help you with the changing of your profile info but i think you need to go to the top right where it says my surgery Click on that then go from there, as far as your husband i admire him now did he just op doing or did he struggle with the sleeping eating i am on lunesta i guess is a big one for sleep walking/ eating i have been on it for years why all of a sudden now am i having issues good for you keeping the weight off, you're an inspiration to a lot of people.😎

Good for you Rachael , i do try my best to stay away from carbs but it's at night that i give in because during the day i do really well and i eat soups some salads all kinds of chicken steak chili all protein but like i said it's the damn nights i fall apart like a dummy , plus i am on meds and some of them cause to sleep eat i walk in my sleep and eat and not realize that i am eating my wife used to clean my mess i made when i sleep eat walk but now she leaves it for me to witness and i know she wouldn't screw with me she's not cruel like that, i guess you haven't had your SX yet right, are you close to your date i can't wait until mine , maybe we can keep in touch you can never have to many friends right ? Coop 😊

I'm feeling grateful today , why you may ask , just because ! 🙂

Hey thanks for the heads up that was nice i appreciate it, gratitude can be touchy with people in that they don't know what to say and YOURE RIGHT IF THERE IS NMO TOPIC NO ONE REPLY but i get it maybe in the next post i talk more about why I'm grateful because if you think about it there is so much to be grateful for, starting with our ability to be kind to others.

Being aggressive or abrasive works with my family because otherwise they will try and bully you i know all about being bullied when i was a kid so i now use it to my advantage and it works like a charm ...i hate pasta it just sits in my stomach like a blob and i hate how it feels , did you already have your surgery or are you waiting i am waiting to have mine, i have my first virtual appt 4 - 1 at 10 am , by the way my name is Rich , but everyone calls me.
