Pre Op Diet Vent. Perfect Dieters Need Not Respond!
incontrol(almost) replied to Sharonisshrinking's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
the pre-op diet just plain sucks. you will get through it. any time i needed some "real" food i would just have some protein. chicken breast, cottage cheese or piece of beef jerky. do what you have to do to get to the next stage. you will make it! -

Lap Band Or Sleeve
incontrol(almost) replied to Cassie1/21's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i wanted something permanent. i also did not want a foreign object in my body that would require monthly adjustment. so the sleeve it was. if you are questioning your decision i would go with the band - if sure, stick with the sleeve. hope this helps. -
Nervous About Surgery! Oct 15, 2012
incontrol(almost) replied to milanhope's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
as many sleevers told me: if you were not nervous before surgery, you would not be normal. this is a permanent operation and a life commitment. trust yourself. this journey contains many steps. the surgery is one step along the way. wishing you both the best of luck! -

What Is The Psych Eval Like?
incontrol(almost) replied to DreamsOfSkinny's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i sat at a computer in a room by myself and answered questions. took about 45 minutes. no big deal. if they do see any areas of concern they just want to address them before surgery. you'll do great! -
congratulations on your hard work and determination. what a journey!

Drinking And Eating
incontrol(almost) replied to laceyb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you are doing amazing! each day will get easier. just make sure you are getting your liquids in. you do not want to get dehydrated. hang in there! -
i feel like i cheated myself for years by filling myself with poor food choices. now my "cheats" are comical. the other day i had some strawberries. they are not on my food list yet but they were so delicious. i am just living on the edge.

Help! I Can't Get Anything Down!
incontrol(almost) replied to my new self's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
those first few weeks are such a struggle. i am five weeks out and am finally able to take normal size drinks of water. i know it is extremely difficult to stay positive when you feel so weak. just keep up the sipping/small bites and you will make it! -
my husband has had to pick up some of the meal preparations. i have been so tired/nauseauted/emotional that making meals is the last task i need to face. don't be afraid to ask for help. in regards to family gatherings, i have just steered clear for the time being. it is just too much to face so soon after surgery. hope this helps. good luck with your surgery.

Sleeping On Stomach
incontrol(almost) replied to mamitalosingit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
within an hour of coming home i went to sleep on my stomach. was very careful when adjusting and although was painful at first, it was the only way i could get "good" sleep. -
Week 24 (Or 6 Months Post Op With Pictures)

congratulations. what a lot of hard work and determination to get you to this point! -
two weeks out and having hard time getting protein in. just soooooo tired of protein shakes.

sorry about your discomfort/agony. i also, had an unbearable first week. my pain was not relieved at all in the hospital. after five days home found out i had a splenic infarcture. i have been uncomfortable every moment of the last two weeks. i am now covered in a head to toe rash from the pain meds. whoever said this was the easy way out has no flipping clue. i am just trying to take it moment by moment. hang in there!

One Really Weird Nsv (And An Awesome One)
incontrol(almost) replied to keldolbeth's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
cannot wait to cross my legs again. it truly is the little things that make this journey worth it. today, i got in the truck and put my seatbelt on. i went to unsnap my jeans (for comfort) and realized i didn't need to. -
only you can make the right decision for yourself. hope your body has time to heal now.

Fear Of The Scale....my Precious!
incontrol(almost) commented on Mz_Elle's blog entry in Mimi's Journey 07/03/2012
i do not have a scale in my house. i am just relying on my dietician/doctor appointments. i don't need the constant questioning of my body. i have done that long enough. if you can't get rid of your scale entirely maybe you can pick one day a week to weigh yourself? -
