Freaking Out. Starving
Carolyn6_11_2011 replied to lovely29's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lovely, First advice remember we are not starving. Just because we forget our food automatically we think we are hungry. Just calm down and think. We all go t through this..... and most important relax. Carolyn -
Same here just had a fill Friday and been on liquids today i start soft foods.... Carolyn

The band work for the people that make it work.... getting a band on doesn't mean that we will automatically loose all the weight we want it means we were ready to start loosing the weight with sacrifices stopping everything that will got us here. The band is an instrument of help but you need to know how to use it. We have been bless that we have the support on this site of people that have gone through it all.... sit down and research the band can't do it alone it needs your help. We all can tell you what had work for us..... but we cant tell you what will work for you. If you are ready for the hard journey you are in then get on the wagon and work if not then remove band. Sorry Carolyn

Thank you.... Im trying hard... Carolyn -
A year and 5 month ago I started this journey of loosing weight. I lost 88 pounds in 9 months and got really sick nothing to do with the band..... because of the lost of this weight the fat that was covering my organs actually protecting them when off and the complications of a really bad endometriosis started..... after 5 surgeries the worst and last one 6 month ago now I feel great. I am ready to regain control of my life and continue my so wanted journey I'm 33 pounds away to get to my goal..... I only gain 8 pounds after all this.... this past week i lost 5 ..... Today I'm getting a fill that I hope will be the one that take me to my goal or at least close to it.... I hope to get lots of comfort and support........ here are some pictures from the before and after so far. [ATTACH]25335[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]25336[/ATTACH] Carolyn

Sabz nobody will never understand..... All you need is for you to understand and just taking this big step is an understanding...... 12 pounds in 4 weeks is a lot the average weight loss is 1 to 3 pound a week and you lost 4 pounds a week... you are not sacrificing yourself. For the world or your family you are doing it for yourself. You will learn a lot on this journey first is to block the people that are not supportive. I did.... Unfortunately I lost friends and family but is their lost not mine I'm happy my daughters and my husband are happy and they are very supportive. Carolyn

Thanks Taijos..... This Journey is really hard the band will not do the work by it self lots of sacrifices need to be made .... but at the end results are amazing.. Now that you took the most important step of helping your self don't ever give up... . There will be obstacles that you will face but we are here for support. .... the first step is done now you need to work on your mind...... every time you think you are hungry change your thought and do something else...... exercise, read a book, dance, clean organize......

Hello and congratulations on your 20 pounds. You have to analyze what kind of food makes you feel stuck and why on my experience meets like chicken and turkey usually are the food that get stuck because i forget to cut it very small and chew it a lot.... if you have to snack a lot make sure its not excessive food and its the right food..... I used to eat or snack every 2 hrs...... but right foods..... just to keep my head of hunger..... I hope this help you and keep going you are doing great Carolyn
