I agree whole heartedly with the comments. However, I haven’t failed to remember that so many folks who have problems with their weight are truly addicted to food, the process of eating and the sensation of being full, etc. This is as real as any heroin addiction. Many of us had a pre-surgery psych eval. but IMO that was simply a formality for liability purposes and is as worthless as the paper it’s written on. So we have a good % of folks in all stages of this procedure with a severe food addiction-not a huge surprise, so why is the pork chop ? (LOL said in a southern accent) .

I really hate that in our society it is offensive to suggest someone seek “help.” We all have issues that could use improvement-and us WLS folks are high on this list of need. I’m of the thinking that their lack of control sparks our own fears of failure, and thus the anger is released via a post. It is frustrating, just as all addictive behavior.

Couldn't agree more! When I see they've posted in a thread, I know I'm going to here some down-and-dirty, no-holds-barred truth AND that I'm probably going to lmfao????

I am grateful to the veterans who post on this forum. I lurk most often. I was in therapy for two years before I was even ready to consider the surgery. Then I attended a seminar in July of 2015. Started the process in January and had my surgery in July 2016. Surgery went fine and I did really well for two weeks and then was violently ill for 3 weeks. Turns out my gallbladder needed to come out. Since May I have lost 78 lbs. + 8lbs I gained each surgery in fluids. I know that some of it is because I literally could not eat or drink for 3 weeks but I still give myself credit for every pound. Now i am learning to eat again with the sleeve. It is still hard to get my liquid in but doing well with Protein. Head hunger can be a real thing at times but I know that my body cannot handle the things my head wants. Since I have recovered from the gall bladder surgery, I am getting more and more confident. When I have questions, I come here and find posts from veterans that have already answered them. Thank you, Lipstick Lady and others. BTW, I am meeting one of my heroes this Tuesday and will be getting my picture taken with him. It is the first time in a long time that I am looking forward to a photo and I am still more than a hundred pounds away from goal. Feeling better about myself everyday.

Damnrite they are...............tacos are the ticket 24/7..............'specially the crunchy ones at week 3.

WTF is going on with folks that have the wherewithal to arrange wls but can't divine the most basic of instructions regarding their lives an safety.

I've seen less ignorance on the shooting ranges.......

Idiots gonna idiot, i suppose.

What I would give for a chicken nugget - got to have Protein in it right? I can't get any of that in. A few won't hurt.

Oh right - I don't want my stomach to literally pop open!
