I have had diarrhea for 11 days now. Everything I eat goes through me. On several of these days I have not been able to do anything to keep warm, like under 4 blankets shivering cold. The other night I drank a protein shake and ended up dry heaving all

I am just over 5 months out. I had surgery at 286 and am now 220. My all time high was last February at 341. So I've come a long way:-) I had a really hard time month 3 and 4 with terrible cravings for bread, crackers and anything carbs. I made a few m

I see a lot of people that exercise a lot and some that say exercise was not necessary for their weight loss or possibly even detrimental. I had a 3 week stall recently. I had a bad cold with a cough that wouldn't quit. I wasn't exercising. The past 3

A bit of a vent here.. On this website, I only see people trying their hardest to do the right thing. A few days ago, I joined a bariatric support group on FB because I like reading questions and answers. Any info I can get on other's experiences is gr

Hi all. I am at the halfway mark of my weight loss. 100lbs gone, 100 more to go. I have been obese my whole life, since I was 5. At first after surgery, I did truly lack energy. I started to feel less tired at around 6 weeks. I am walking at lunch 5 da

I am 9 weeks out. The past 2 days I have given into my anxiety/depressed mood and eaten crackers, not just a few either. I feel terrible and I am terrified if I am doing this at 9 weeks what I will be doing at 20, 40 and 60 weeks out. Today I have deci

Last night I ate about 6 small bites of a pork chop. I thought I was eating slow enough, I definitely chewed a TON. Well, it was so stuck, I was in terrible pain/discomfort for 2-3 hours. I tried to take a sip of water but immediately had to throw up b
