sometimes those who lose (faster) are a lot bigger than the others who are just starting (aka me for one).....and its now I am at when the majority people have surgery...each person is different and will lose different and be different. I compare myself daily to everyone on this forum (those with fills for example, could I be doing better if I had one??)......we be our own worst enemy. part of that diet mentality we were brought up with I guess. YOU my dear are doing super duper fantastic. GREAT JOB.

My new journey begins...
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to lilmispcl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
best of luck. just stay positive and do what the doctor advises you to do. it will get (harder) before it gets easier, but it is so worth it. having support is what makes it alot smoother. This is your year. -
i agree with TMF dont have surgery and either get bigger or remain where you are or have the surgery, follow the dr's instructions and lose weight and get healthy. every surgery (including manicures) have risks. up to you to weigh the options and decide. just dont think this is an easy way out. if you want surgery and expect a month later to have lost 100 pounds, dont have this surgery.

Crying and cant stop.. Day 4
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to katiedee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
well good news is you will (eat again) once you have healed and the swelling goes down..its a hard process....but the posters have gave you great advice. please re-read all the posts and take it to heart......especially the one about stopping reading the negative posts...does you no good.......i know you dont believe it, but it will get better......each day that passes will bring a sense of progress. be strong.......head up...shoulders back, strap them high heels on and look at your future....YOU did this for you......you will be happy, you will be healthy and you will be a SUCCESS. -
congrats on the surgery. i am sure just (walking a smidge would not hurt anything) but always follows your doctors guidelines in regards to everything. best of luck

If I Did Right How Can It Go Wrong?
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to shrcumm's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
if one is doing all they can (eating good healthy foods, drinking alot, exercising as much as they can) it DOES NOT matter what the scale says or does not say.....what matters is what we feel and how we feel about ourselves.. j/s do our best, all we can do -

Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays

You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think.

it will get harder before it gets easier but if your mind game is set on full blown want power, you will succeed far beyond what you could ever imagined for yourself. hang in there and keep drinking

Port pain after ab workout
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to lexx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i was very sore/tender for about a good month after surgery...it felt like pulling (i thought i tore something but dr assured me i did not).....its scar tissue forming..it will get better but if its very strenuous, it may cause discomfort...just be careful and if overly concerned, as the poster said, call your dr and let them advise you on this. -
Hiatal hernia repair
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to pondqueen46's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i had it also, and didnt know until i woke up and my dr told me..way i see it, one less thing for me to worry about..my port incision was tender for about a month...did not hurt but was sore and then tender as the scar tissue formed...i just did the normal liquid tylenol (cvs brand) when it got uncomfy....congrats on your surgery -
ah, not sure what you wrote but if you just had surgery, congrats

☠carolinagirl☠ replied to Mandymoo13's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

Banded 3-22... Question
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to misscarrie36's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
as you heal you will get hungry again at least i know i did...the band wont make that go away ...def a battle but one so worth winning keep drinking and just realize as each day passes, it gets easier. the insides are healing, and swollen from sutures and if someone eats too much or too big so soon, it could hurt so why they normally say stick with liquids so the insides can heal good news, it will get easier...now is a good time to get positive thinking and want power working. hang in there -
getting the band tomorrow

What Happens if I get Sick ie: the flu
☠carolinagirl☠ replied to hockeymother's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
sometimes people get sick and some dont i have with me anti nausea meds just in case but if you get sick, you just get sick. i was kinda concerned about that not so long ago...my dr said not to stress over it. but knowing its not good to throw up, i do think about that often
