The purple dress FITS!!! I don't count calories. Bounces me deeeeeep back into distress and my eating disorder. We all have to do this our way. Viva le corned beef!!

I am sure you've worked this out by now, and things have moved on, so you don't need advice anymore! I am way behind on catch-up here, but really sending you and other new newbies lots of good vibes. PS. At this point I was doing cups, not grams, so I dunno - but for most of the first 2-3...

How are you doing today?

Yes, feeling that full on practically nothing weirded me out for weeks! My sleeve seems more forgiving now, which makes me feel a little scared! But anyway - you are doing the right things! Slow and steady. Try to enjoy the luxurious act of eating and tasting?

Grrrr! SO pissed on your behalf!!!

Yes! Dehydration can bring on the dreaded urinary infections, if unlucky...

I love you already. WELCOME!! PS: I lost NOTHING the first week after surgery - and I was in the damn hospital. Just wait for it. Wait... :)

Hi TB. What a lovely name. I have never chatted to you before on the forum, but I just wanted to say hi, and send healing vibes and let you know that strangers are rooting for you [so friends must be]. I am so sorry this has happened to you. Feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable is VERY normal in...

great idea - will watch and support!

This is an old post, but for anyone who might come by more recently: I have had two urinary infections since my sleeve. Doc says it is ABSOLUTELY caused by dehydration. Drink. Water.

Hoping everything was OK - if somehow you were put off, don't feel bad. You can decide to do this process whenever you are ready. x

Hi Maria!! I feel so sour, not being excited! LOL! I am not excited at all! Nervous, worried, worried that my eating disorder will kick my ass on the other side. But also curious, resolute, and convinced that this the best way. Also open to being bloody delighted in 6 months! [My partner's being...

I have been using the word 're-set' as well - all the time! I cannot think of it as a diet because that does make me quite anxious and fight-y and defiant :-) I was tested for sleep apnea about four years ago, but they just said I was a snorer... Four kids - my worrying I am too busy to do this...

Thanks much for the support and welcome - I think I have understandable jitters. I suppose I also feel ambivalent because I feel that fat bodies are perfectly acceptable, and it' s taken me a long time and a lot of work to get there, to be accepting of all I am - but also find that this...

You are obviously SUCH a kind person, as I can see from your posts - thank you for being warm. Will definitely think about journalling...

It takes a while to get used to but you'll be hooked like the rest of us in no time. Oh, I really do hope so...I have had several eating disorders for most of my life, so everything does feel painful and complicated. To enter 'diet mind' again...I have to be very careful.... Each hospital is...

Thank you, Maria. You look like you have had such success - congrats!!

Hi Irene - thank you for saying hello and offering reassurance. I wish I had got this a long time ago, back when I was the size you started! I am very glad you're getting the support here that you need, and hope I can become part of it all. I guess I might start a journal myself in a few days...

Hi Parsnip! Thanks for responding to my first post - I was feeling a bit shy!I will take your advice - it can be a bit hard to navigate threads that are happening now, rather than old ones, but I'll get the hang of it! I do hope you get a date soon. Everything seems really different, hospital...

I REALLY want my username changed, please - why has it posted my actual name when I wanted to use a nickname?? Really problematic - what did I do wrong? :-( Can you please change it to Alexandra Nevermind? Thank you!
