You hit it right on the head! They said it out of fear and lack of knowledge!! If you did your homework and gathered all the info on what you are about to do, than do it. Thank God your husband is on your side with this. I learned real early in this journey not to share with everyone about my plan. Even a few overweight family member started acting up! Like: silly me to want to be skinny and take such a drastic step! lol! Let go of the bad energy of their statement, you do not need that right now. You made the best decision for your health and your life. Good luck

At first it's not easy, but it is a good habit to have. So keep at it until it becomes a second nature to you. Really helps keep acid down and reduce acid reflex.

No Drinking With Eating..explain Why?
LaBelle509 replied to ladiJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Drinking while eating will empty out the stomach too fast, resulting in over eating; and some people experience acid reflux because of drinking with their food. -

How Long Before I Can Drink A Soda Or A Zipp Fizz?
LaBelle509 replied to mosher62's topic in Food and Nutrition
I was told to stay away from that!! empty calories+gas= not worth it -
sorry to hear about your niece. Maybe she's disappointed about her complications, that's why she's shutting down on having the surgery. Keep being supportive, once she's in a better place in a medical stand point and see how well you are doing, she might give it a go again. I don't think you should feel guilty or feel wrong for being excited. I would be a little mindful around her. I have a feeling you two have a close relationship, so you will find a way to be there for each other(=

What Does Your Doc Reqire As Preop Diet
LaBelle509 replied to earth2terra's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc required 5 protein shakes and a meal (4-6oz lean protein with 2 cups green vegetables/green salad). 64oz of water or more. When she told me, I almost fell of my chair I didn't know how I was going to pull that off for two weeks and not starve!! -
I Wish I Could See The Difference!
LaBelle509 replied to missmachine's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I feel the same you do at times. For the amount of work and sacrifice I should be a skinny person by now lol!! But the reality is, it took time to look the way I do, so it's gonna take time to look slimmer. I feel like I gave up a lot ( EATING, FAVORITE FOODS, BAKED GOODS, FRIED FOOD, SODA) so the Skinny gods should have been a little more generous in return Take pictures! that will help you see the change. My face looks completely different now. My body is not quiet there, but it is happening slowly. And I know this weight loss is going to damage my body, but I have to believe that I am beautiful. Money for plastics is out of the picture for me as well. So We have to believe that at the end we are and will be healthy and beautiful ((HUGS)) -
Weekend was way too short)= This week challenge: ONLY EAT FROM HOME!! I have a feeling I am eating a little more fat/calories than I wish because of ordering lunch at work. So today, I am cooking my meal for the week in the proper lowfat cooking techniques; that way no heavy cream, fat or sugar get pass by me(=

Too Depressed For Surgery... What?
LaBelle509 replied to shellbell125's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You mentioned that you have been with your psychiatrist for 12 years, can he make the recommendation for you? he knows you better, and you have been under his care for a very long time. And like you said he is the medical doctor here! I suppose that you plan on staying under his care, so he can vouch for you. Don't give up! -
lol!! pure torture(= -
feeling a little distracted today! started to eat some chips( but stop myself after the third piece) barely had my water, and I know for a fact I did not eat enough protein. Now I seem to have no motivation to workout tonight.....What is wrong with me?!
-
I absolutely did! it covered me for up to 90 days in case of complications. I was so worried that something would come up and be denied coverage by medical insurance. My doctor told me not to take the stricture coverage. It was going to cost me an extra $250 but he assured me I did not need it. I trusted his judgment. I paid the extra $1,151.00 for the BLISS and I was happy to know I could use it, but never had to. Total cost for my surgery was $13,651.00
