@peek..

I have only lost 21 since surgery (10/8) - was 116 . (almost six weeks out now). As mentioned I have been eating alot so I need to exercise more I guess. My nutritionist said just keep thinking about your TOTAL loss - to keep you encouraged. It's a long road ahead.

I added you as a friend on MBP..

Glad to hear I am not alone in my struggles with hunger and food!! I hear that most people don't even think about eating in the first 3 -4 months. If you are on My Fitness Pal - and want to share info my user name is estipo.

I've been wondering the same thing! I deleted my Facebook (gave it up for lent) and then reactivated when the Facebook group was mentioned. I never received an invite, so I deactivated it again.

I'm not. Nothing on Facebook is guaranteed to be private. I don't want their IT errors to let everyone know my personal business. I use FB with caution lol

I agree, however all of our posts in here are searchable by Google. I noticed that the other day. Just search your name in quotes followed by bariatricpal. Quite intrusive if you ask me. I'd prefer it to be more private.

@ I'm in the FB group and it's a lot of the same on here. I'm not worried about the FB group being hacked b/c frankly if anyone wanted to find out anything, it's all open and so is the forum here. And my hospital support group is on FB too, also a private group, so I figured in for a penny in for a pound.

@@es fatBgoned I, too, can eat most things & I am hungry pretty quickly after Breakfast but I realize I may not be eating enough. Typically I have breakfast, lunch, Half a Premier Protein shake midafternoon, and dinner . I don't have a morning snack and I don't count calories. This could potentially be why I'm hungry. I have to be better about counting calories or at the very least the amount of Protein I get.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
