I know u want this change but how bad??? When u are strong enough to walk away from the doughnuts and don't look back your ready. You will not b able to eat like that initially post op but the cravings and head hunger remains. Then there will come a time when u can eat it, what will u choose??? Start taking baby steps in the other direction, we want success for u. This is major surgery a true second chance at life. I know u want that more than food run towards that. We r all here to support u and need u to support us. We all get weak!

Welcome! That is soooo shocking, but I'm glad it happened. You will need your doc during this journey and the other guy would not have been available. Wishing u the best!!!

Advice needed
ElleG replied to imaskinnychickfinally's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Please talk to your doc. The vitamins r a must so they have to figure something out. I also have some that can be mixed in a drink they look like crystal light but u can drink them. Ask your doc first. -

Help! 3 days out post gastric bypass
ElleG replied to ellaclairesmommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with everyone. I cried too, but food grossed me out so I didn't miss it. I stayed in the bed a lot resting watching tv and sleeping I had a lot of pain. Walk as much as possible it really helps with the gas. Best Wishes -
They will put you out in the operating room.

Protein shake makes me sick!

It's hard to get a lot of things in, in the beginning. Take it slow but keep trying the protein is VERY important. Best Wishes and Congrats! -

ElleG replied to ElleG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
3/26/13 I was 4 months post op and I'm down 50lbs. This is an amazing feeling. I love seeing the changes my body is making. I LOVE getting dressed to go out, it's so fun now and it use to b such a drag. I love this new life, I pray I am able to hold on to this feeling forever! -

Absolutely! Don't b so hard on yourself. You didn't gain overnight and you will not loose overnight. Your using the tool correctly so trust it, trust yourself and celebrate how far u have come don't worry about how far u have to go! -
When would be a good idea to start the gym in full
ElleG replied to amelo's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I would talk to the doc. It really depends on you, your progress and health. Best Wishes! -
What you tell people at work?
ElleG replied to ponchik's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree. The info has to remain confidential. If not I would talk to an attorney. Share what u want to share or don't share at all. Some people r so judgmental and discouraging. Best Wishes!
