I remember feeling the same way at about this time out. I think that there are others who also feel this way, initially. I have yet to meet anyone that continues to feel this way...This too shall...

I am so happy I found this thread! I am going to take bits and pieces from all of the ideas and advice, work with my therapist, and move forward!

I am so sorry to read that you've had such a rough time. How are you doing now? Hang in there :) Please let me know how you are!

You must feel so frustrated! I am sorry. I am guessing you had assumed you'd lose more, more quickly? People lose at different rates...Don't compare your loss to others. Make sure you are eating...

Wow! I am so sorry you are being faced with so many heart-wrenching situations, most out of your control. However, tell your mom to shut the hell up! What a mean person she is! I would distance...

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing so honestly. I too am still fighting the cheat/bad choices...I have food issues; mental hunger vs. actual hunger :(
Your post is exactly what I needed to...

There is a time - no times - when I have regretted having been "sleeved." I would even go out on a limb to add that many people go through more than one period when they have regretted their...

That's horrible! I haven't had c-diff but I know of many people who have...I've heard it is very painful...I am sorry. I hope you are cured soon and are back to feeling normal xo

Wowmomwow!!! Wonderful - Beautiful - Hottiemchotsalot <3

It hasn't gone away for me. Rather, it is worse...much worse. I am not sure what I am doing to make it worse, or why it hasn't gone away, but I sure feel sickly when it hits...I also go below my...

How is your wife? How are you? I'm so sorry that she's not been doing well...Pleas let me (us) know how everything is going.

I am so sorry. I had a very rough beginning, and I lost all hope. My health issues weren't about how much I ate, and at what speed I ate it. It was because I had complications that were making me...

I am sorry you are feeling disappointed at this time. Most of us have been worried about not losing, the sleeve not working, or not losing as fast as we thought we should. You aren't alone in your...

I had a leak. I was nauseous, feverish, and had severe pain...I have never felt so sick in my entire life! I hope you get to the bottom of this ASAP!

Best wishes!

I am so sorry! That sounds like a nightmare!!! I also had complications, even here in the US. When you get so sick it is almost impossible to start an IV. I ended up with PIC lines, a bleed, a...

For me, the point of this surgery was to change my life. In order to change my life/health, I do need to watch what I eat. I do need to be accountable. I do need to stay away from foods too high...

The good - My high blood pressure has been resolved - no more meds, and my blood pressure is near perfect!
My BMI is within the normal range (35 to 23)!
I have...

In my opinion/my experience the mental health part is in fact the hardest part. In my opinion, obese people don't become obese merely because the overeat. We overeat, but we also entertain,...

I'd also be sad, angry, and disappointed! I bet you are retaining fluid. You can still be compliant. Be honest with yourself, stay committed to this process. You have an injury that you have to...

I am in the same boat, and as a matter of fact I just posted (a much lengthier) version of what you posted - I guess we can gather from this that its not uncommon. It is common to gain the weight...

I have just passed my 10 month mark, and I am still losing hair. There is hair coming back in, and the loss is not as significant as it was. However, it happens. There honestly isn't anything to...

I was taking 10,000 units of Biotin - Didn't make a difference...

I knew that I was going to lose hair, and so I cut my hair into a shorter style so that the hair loss wouldn't be too obvious. My hair actually started to fall-out right away...it freaked me out! ...

Good for you!!!

I get why you wouldn't want to wait...However, the best things in life are worth waiting for, and this is one of the best gifts you will ever receive!
I believe the best place to have the surgery,...
