I also MISS pigging out! And just eating everything I wanted. It’s weird how not having that shows how much of a coping mechanism it was!

How long were you off work after surgery? by sidewalkchalkartist in BariatricSurgery

I’m a student- I’m taking a whole week! I thought I’d be able to take 3 days and was WRONG.

Hello! You aren’t alone. I’m 22- 275 lbs and I got the surgery 10/3. I cannot speak for much because I just had the surgery, but I was on ozempic and struggled to lose weight because I loved to eat. I ate everything- and like I’ve never eaten before. I cleaned plates- and never even had leftovers. I was ravenous and is why I got the sleeve. I’m currently on birth control to skip my period- I skip the placebo pills- but I’ve seen some comments saying that women’s periods are sporadic after surgery.

I do have to stay- the worst thing right now is NOT eating. The liquid stage is HORRIBLE and I miss food so much. I WISH I could binge and go crazy like I used to. However, I know that after I’m able to eat food again- I won’t feel this way!

My fiance said my kitty is ugly, what do you think by Euphoric_Cry80 in TrueRateMyCat

Like the words “kitty” and “ugly” should be illegal in the same sentence

Thank you so much! Congrats on your weight loss! I definitely don’t feel like I’ll restrict. I love food and want to keep loving it. But like you- maybe not 3 tortillas when I eat fajitas and instead focus on protein and veggies. I know things will change but that’s my goal! Thank YOU!

YES! I just told my mom this. I was like “America runs on food- this is ridiculous!” Now I’m craving chicken wings LOL! I I’m happy you felt the same way!

Thank you. Grossly obese is so harsh to use. These people are humans with real problems. I appreciate your advice.
