6 years post-op....still down over 100 pounds!
ElleG replied to Ourpaints's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Awesome story! That is so encouraging! -
Be strong! You will fall in love with other foods healthier foods. Sugar was the hardest for me to shake but I know I can't have it or I will b sick so I don't eat it. Do I think about it, sure do I have cravings, sure but it's a no-no.

Broke up with a "friend" today
ElleG replied to Kellyk2511's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Friends accept friends for who and what they r. They support them and have their backs no matter what. I have done things from going with a friend for abortions to helping friends leave abusive mates. I may not agree or not support them going back after we went through this but as a friend I have to just b there. This lady is not your friend, she is jealous and it's best to just let her go. It's sad when u have to do that but a friendship can't b one sided. -
So happy for u!!!! Keep us posted on how u do when you get to the other side.

Awesome!! Congrats

How Long Before You Returned to Work?
ElleG replied to KellyLessBelly's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was off work 6 weeks, I think I needed 8. Lol I was unlucky and had lots of pain after so I was in the hospital a week and in the bed the next 5 weeks. I went to the doc and tried to get up and walk as much as possible but it was rough for me. -
Best Wishes! Keep us posted!!

Drink drink drink. Try to keep something in your pouch so u can get ur mind off food. It's head hunger. U will probably get really sick if u try to eat something, not worth it.

So many temptations in the world!
ElleG replied to Ammariehs mommy's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Somehow I have gotten to the point where I can't stand fast food. It's crappy food that is bad for us. It doesn't bother me but it has become gross to me... i am starting to miss sweets but I know I can't have it so I eat fruit or drink crystal light for my sweet fix. I have a book called eat this, not that try to look for healthier options until u can stop eating it. No one is perfect and this journey will not b easy, but u can do anything u set ur mind to. Best Wishes! -
Everything is going to be great! Soon you will start your new life.

It really depends on you, your health, your doctor, your insurance co etc. probably blood work, EKG, x rays maybe a sleep study it really depends. Don't be nervous it's a piece of "sugar free" cake. Lol. Best Wishes!

Your doc is going to give u a specific list of approved foods because all of our docs are different and does things differently make sure you follow the your docs orders to the "t". Congrats and Best Wishes!

Take stool softeners daily until u get rolling. I have started chewing 2 fiber choice daily. If all else fails take a laxative because it has to come out (lol). Best Wishes

Oh okay! I will be praying for u. I'm glad your getting this done so hopefully you can get rid of the diabetes. My mom, dad and brother are diabetic I was lucky I didn't get it. Wishing u the BEST!
