Heyher reacted to AmandaRaeLeo in Bougie Size? May 17, 2013

I'm going to opine on this.
WLS will not "fix" you. Your (I'm using "your" as a generalization, not specific to any one individual) hang ups with food are still there. You're not cured, you're being treated.
Focusing on bougie size, of which there is very little size difference, rather than your weight loss journey in its entirety can be an indicator that you're expecting the surgery to do all the work. That the most minuscule sized bougie will make all the difference in your success. That ghrelin reduction wil cure your hunger...
The fact of the matter is, we as individuals make all the difference in our success. Period.
The surgery helps us, a LOT but it is not a the cure. It's a powerful treatment.
Don't focus on bougie size or the ghrelin hormone being reduced. Focus on how you can use your Sleeve to the best of your advantage and have optimal results.
The tiniest of tummies will not guarantee you success. We can still set ourselves up for failure by not working hard and making our own success.

Go buy something super hot to wear that will make head REALLY turn. On a day you feel really low, wear that outfit and it will cheer you right up.

Subway. With the top half of the whole wheat bread taken off. Qdoba less the rice. ( naked burrito bowl w/ chicken & black rice) or wahoos fish taco if any are near by. Then you have a few meals from them.

So I am almost the months out and down 49.5lbs. I may make 50 by my three month mark. But dang it I still see a fat chick. I'm almost 1/2 way to goal but I think I still look fat. I'm now in an 11/12 as opposed to a 20w. But I don't see it. Ugh. I know this is a minor issue, but it is starting to really bum me out.

You're doing great. 50 lbs is a lot of weight. You can definitely tell the difference.

Body issues is something that many people have to deal with. We have felt trapped in out old shape for quite a long time and have become accustomed to it. You have lost a lot of weight and that in itself is a huge victory. Remember, you are no longer that person you used to be. You are no longer defined by food, you are defined by how you see and present yourself; and you are one hot mama with crazy hot tats!
Keep on doing what you are doing and be a role model for those who may follow your lead. {{{hugs}}}

Heyher got a reaction from coops in what's the difference between something that fits and something that's tight? May 6, 2013

I'm not a vet, sorry. But I thought I would throw out a suggestion... Maybe go to a boutique type store and ask the sales person what shape might look best. Then try three sizes. One a size bigger, the size you think you need, and one smaller. Go with what you feel confident in. When you look in the mirror be honest about how you feel in the clothes. What makes you hold your head higher and stand taller? Don't think about how others will perceive you. Focus on if the clothes make you happy and confident. :-)
