    When I was heavy no one made eye contact w/ me or smiled & never held doors for me. Now that I'm small I get smiles & looked at at the gym & in public & waiters openly flirt w/ me in front of my husband & son! It bothers my son a lot so we don't really go out to eat much. I wish you good luck & success on your journey!

    Your response to aydensmomma made me cry! It was my story 8 years ago!!! I had severe back pain due to a really long labor & delivery. I pushed so long & so hard I ruptured a disk in my lower back. Then I pushed through it over the years w/ work & taking care of my son & physical therapy to the point that I did so my
    Ugh damage that a piece of my vertebra had broken off & was sticking in my sciatic nerve causing me to literally drag my right leg because it was so numb & I was bent at a 90 degree angle! I had an Mir & met w/ my nerosurgeon on a Friday & h scheduled me for surgery the following Tuesday. Well surgery went longer than expected due to all the damage & my incision was longer than expected & they almost did the wrong leg but now I'm fine! That was 8 years ago & over the years the weight piled on to the point where at my heaviest I got up to 279. 10lbs heavier than when I gave birth 11 years ago. I had my sleeve done on 9/23/13 & it has literally saved & changed my life! I had started back w/ back problems to the point that my husband bought me an inversion table to take the pressure off my back. I had developed depression, severe anxiety, high bp, cholesterol, fibromyalgia & severe sleep apnea. I was wearing 3x scrubs & size 26 jeans. Now 18 months later I'm in small scrubs, size 6 jeans & wore a bikini for the first time in my life! People treat me completely differently now since I've lost the weight. And it makes me sad.

Slow down and the loss of "friend"

by Damasyn on 11-30-2014 at 02:22 PM
My weight loss has slowed down considerably. Since the 18th I have lost only 3 lbs. But I know that with the holidays and my change in diet ( little more substanial food ) thats to be expected for me. I need to be a little more vigilant about things.

Now with that being said, I am also fighting coming to terms with the loss of my "friend " and companion --- Food . Obviously, I loved food, I love watching cooking shows, the smell, the differnt tastes, textures, it was my

1 week weight stall

by Damasyn on 11-22-2014 at 03:23 PM
Tuesday the 18th I went in for check up weight was 255.7 . Graduated to thicker stuff like mashed potato applesauce etc. I have started drinking Orange flavored vitamin water. Sooo good, and i figure the vitamins are also a good thing. BUT with that being said, im eating a bit more too. I have not lost one pound in the last 6 days. Vitamin water has 120 calories. Still since the 24th of October, I have lost 33 lbs. But this 6 day stall has me concerned.

Got an ass chewing from the Nutritionist and nurse

by Damasyn on 11-20-2014 at 02:59 PM
hahaha

Confessing my sins :

Well, I went in for my 2 week post op appointment on Tuesday the 18th. I THOUGHT I was getting graduated to softer foods... So a couple days before I had a over easy egg chopped with a little Ricotta cheese. I ate about half of it before it sat in my stomach like a rock.. Day later, I had gone out without anything in my purse to eat that was acceptable.. my mother had a imitation crab salad in the vehicle so i grabbed a couple pieces

Changing by the day

by Damasyn on 11-13-2014 at 04:03 PM
Surgery 11/4/14 OK, right after surgery, I thought ~~ what the hell !!?? Always hungry, ( waking up at night to eat ) so damn thirsty.

Now I am hungry less, no longer have to get up to snack in the wee hours. Drinking alot more, taking gummy vitamins ( lol no no suppossedly ) Chewing until its mush and swallowing. Im beginning to feel so much better about everything. I must admit though, I have not been good about taking my prescription meds. Zoloft and blood pressure.

Was expecting a little different post surgery feelings LOL

by Damasyn on 11-11-2014 at 12:30 AM
Before surgery, if I became hungry to the point my stomach started growling alot, I would get physically sick.

Ok, after reading alot of post surgery comments, I was expecting to NOT feel overly hungry. While still in the hospital, I woke up in the wee hours feeling sick and quickly started to dry heave. Nurse came in, we took care of it.

But I have since discovered, its my stomach telling me I am hungry. I expected to not feel much or any hunger for a while yet. But
