Add THAT to my fitness pal!

I'm PRE op but I'd like to offer a little. I've never seen anyone at a year or so out say they regret surgery. EVER. even The ones that had complications. Also, how do you feel after you eat large quantities. I don't know about you but I "usually" feel guilty, dirty, lame and ashamed. I will NOT MISS those feelings at ALL. I am ESTATIC about surgery, and being free from this prison of food addiction.

There is a LOT of info about mx surgeries and surgeons on this forum if you dig. The top surgeons you'll hear about are Guillermo Alvarez Ariel Ortiz Almanza Aceves Fernando Garcia(my pick) Lopez jaime Ponce de leon There are others. TONS of happy patients. I thought it sounded crazy at first too. TO THE OP - i am hoping for the 18th-22nd

You went to another hospital? Is your story written somewhere? I'd like to read it.

I imagine I'll be much the same, thinking if my 6 little ones. Praying that you heal quickly and lose even faster.

I'm guessing this is a GOOD sign that your sleeves swelling is going down. Enjoy!

Exercise together Sex w 30 minutes of foreplay Board and card games Journal Experiment with your makeup Go to bed an hour early am talk about he first thing that pops up. Video games. At least your hands are already busy and the can't eat. When weather permits, walks, yard work, etc. Walk at the mall I sometimes do squats etc while watching tv.

Thank you all, you're all spot on! I know this will still be work. I'll let him see for himself when the time comes.

Gillopez, arent you a ray of sunshine tonight!? maybe Melanie is young. Clearly she's frustrated. Do NOT let then talk you out of it. They probably don't understand all the diets you've been on, the guilt, the self hatred, etc that you're going through. They may have raised you but now YOU are in charge of you. If your life story turn out crappy, you can't blame them, only yourself. Don't let anyone take it from you. I read a quote last night by "egg face" (she had wls) that was PERFECT for me. "Don't be afraid of Dieing, be afraid of never truly living."

This is so discouraging to me. I thought my mom was on my side as far as surgery goes. She has seen me fluctuate up and down and yo-yo diets over and over over the last 12 years. I am sick and tired of it. I am ready to do something permanent. And I am willing to put in the hard work. . I don't understand why today she is telling me that I have a lots of emotional reasons why I gained the weight. Eating when I am bored, eating when I am lonely, eating when I am stressed. Eating because it's sugar and my body craves sugar. I know all of these things and I know that I still will have a long road ahead of me surgery or no surgery. But this is my last ditch effort and I feel like there are no other options for me. I am sure that all of you know what I am talking about. I am not discouraged from getting surgery, I am just a little disappointed that I thought she was on my side and I guess she does not believe that I should get surgery. Now it feels like the only people who actually think I might succeed are you all. Well, and myself. Sigh Were or are any of you emotional eaters? Surely this surgery helps us to?

Yes! I'm so glad all went well and you are happy. I'm also so happy to hear how it went w r4ac. I'm going with the same doc and company and I'm so excited! Enjoy being a loser!!!

An I the only one feeling a little bit nervous that we haven't heard more from cool mama ?

Uh. That's NOT slow loss at all!!!

I'm looking at the 18th with dr. Garcia. I haven't paid my deposit yet though, so it's not set in stone.

From what I've read, the RNY pouch stretches because its made out if the stretchy part of the stomach, vs. the sleeve, where the stretchy part is removed. This isn't to dh that the sleeve can't stretch but the way I understand it, it's less likely. There was a thread a week or so ago along the same lines, I'll see if I can find it. Well since I'm on my phone I can't link you to that thread, but if you search "sleeve vs. RNY" you'll find it.

Oh wow! You look like a completely different person!im so happy, proud of and excited for you! It won't be long and you'll be at goal!!!

Something I learned While doing weight watchers that helped jumpstart my weight loss when I was on a stall is the Wendy method. Basically if you figure up how many calories you get a week, wrote out how you can still get that Amt of calories this week while having high calorie days and low calorie days. It tricks your body or something and works wonders.

This sounds so weird!

How far out are y'all!?

I've read that some become lactose intolerant afyer sleeved so the pp might be onto something.
