I Want To See Before & After Pics!
amytug replied to Christina760's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Dang!! How much have you lost? Says? Everyone tells me not to aim or skinny, but "healthy." My mom says she thinks I have unrealistic expectations when I say I want to be skinny. TO ME, when I say skinny, I just mean shopping on the normal side of the store but deep down, I wanna get as skinny as you hehe. Are you on mfp, I'm curious what you eat? -
Yes! When I lose, this is one of my favorite nsv's!!b

Do I really need to go to the ER...?
amytug replied to Keepgoing247's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'd def go! How are you nursing a baby while getting under 500 calories a day? This isn't good for you or babe. You might bring this up to your dr. As well. I know when I did weight watchers while breast feeding, I got extra points and that's tacked on to apro 1200 calories a day, so...... Also,No wonder you're dehydrated!!! He's sucking out all your hydration! The very little you're able to keep in. Sadly, I think it might be time to give up nursing. Darn it. (Hug) -
Maybe not THAT much if a burn. Lol Dean. I messaged you today. At least I started one, I think I hit send. Yes?

Frustrated with people who just don't get it!
amytug replied to lilbearzmom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh that's kindof sad.. 1. It sounds like he's trying way too hard to love you with food.. Perhaps you can check out the book "the 5 love languages," and the 2 of you can learn how each-other like to be loved.. The basics are on the website- you can probably find it with a quick google search... This way, he can learn NEW ways to love you. 2. I'd throw the deep fryer out. Both of you need to be eating healthier. I'm not saying that he has to go on a diet but I'd say that that thing is NOT coming in my home. Or put it in the garage and tell him he can make and eat his poison out there. 3. butter on white bread? really? Him saying "you can have just a litle bit" is just like a junkie telling his recovering friend that he can have "just one bump." know what I mean? Or "just one shot." It angers me that he's doing this. 4. My husband and a lot on this board are insecure with their fat selves, and are scared/nervous that we will get skinny and leave them. I can see how this might be true for your husband and how he might be wanting to sabotage your efforts in order to keep you a lil chunky... UNACCEPTABLE. if you love me, you'll want me healthy and strong and able to live a long life... 5. junk food is not allowed in our house.. period.. this is for me, our kids and my husband.. we need him.. if he wants to eat junk, fine, do it in the truck before you get home, but do NOT do it here. I will not cook junk for my family. they are not garbage disposals.... 6. may I recommend counceling for the 2 of you? i can see this becoming a BIG issue in your marriage if he's actually getting ANGRY that you wont eat. -

MiDoctor Hospital 2013 Roll Call RECAP
amytug replied to Armywife29's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Armywife, this is awesome! I never would have thought to put this togther like this, thanks! Should probably put a ? by my name since I'm not sure. I havent paid my deposit just yet, and we've decided it would be best to try to get a friday, so I'm looking at the 15th or 22nd.. sorry to be confusing. -
I make this every weekend.

I use a 1 lb bag, shredded. 2 c mozzarella 2 jumbo eggs, but a friend uses one med egg. I don't do seasonings very often but when I do I use 1 T fennel and 1 t oregano (or other Italian seasoning that's green )

Ok. I'm not complaining. I'm not saying that I cant do the preop diet. I'm not lamenting about not being able to go without good because I need bacon and chocolate. What I AM saying is this: since so many surgeons all have a different PRE op diet, is it safe to assume that I can pick another strict preop diet? Especially If I do it for 2 weeks vs the 1 that is required for my bmi. I was choosing between 2 different surgeons. The other surgeon gave me a choice between 2 weeks low fat low carb or 4 days of only yogurt. This surgeon I chose says one week of shake Shake 4 oz lean Protein Shake if needed Metamucil for hunger What if I were to add super low carb low fat Proteins to this plan? Say Shake Egg whites Shake Tuna Shake Ya think? I'm not looking for ways to break rules. I'm just remembering my hcg days where I was eating 500 calories a day, and was sure I'd be in the hospital after day 4. i found myself on the floor thinking about orange juiced and shaking and woth serious fatigue that left me on the floor. I have 6 kids to take care of. Stairs to climb etc. I still have about 4-5 weeks until I need to start. I'd like to plan ahead a little though.

I read that the bigger a person is, the longer it takes to drop sizes Nd he smaller you get, the quicker the sizes drop. -

amytug replied to bcorder82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can someone tell me how to see what my friends eat while on the ap!? I'd like to see what y'all are eating I'm amberlylane13 but I'm PRE op. just eatin les calories. -
I agree to a point. I like what dean says about allowing for some anxiety in newbies. And post opers. I mean this is MAJOR surgery! Scary stuffs. Now I feel a little bit afraid to post about my concerns post op though. I've seen some really annoying posts such as "zomg I'm like a week out and I can't eat this buffet! crap I wish I'd never gotten surgery!" On one hand, I want to understand and an be supportive. On the other hand I'm like -----> o.O Really?
