NO BLOOD (transfusion) SURGERY
Ballermom replied to JeansBeans's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yea. Patients have rights to whatever you don't want to happened in case of an emergency so just let your surgeon team know a head of time. It has nothing to do with insurance. It's similar to if you had an allergy to certain meds or products. But discuss that ahead of time. Good luck -
Love and hate relationship
Ballermom replied to chibabyy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I understand how you all who are advancing through the first stages may feel. I'm happy to say that at 5 months, I seeing that it gets easier each day. Now I use food for fuel. My relationship with food has changed. I still recall many birthday and celebratory gatherings that for me brought almost a chemical feel good feeling. Learning to live without that attachment. Especially birthday Cakes, OMG! I had a personal Baker, for me and my kids. Except, I would end up eating most of the cakes! Happy to report, that these few months of Major changes with hard work is paying off! It was harder in the beginning and a way of life Now. Not a day goes by at work that i don't get many compliments! Yay, im very happy with 68lbs down from a size 24 to a size 12/14. Yay Be encouraged we can do this! -
I have trouble with muffins/ and cup cakes trouble swallowing 5 months out. So it goes on that list of things I don't bother with.
-
Sweets, muffins, rice, ice cream cake, bread, pasta. All my pre sleeve favorites!

My Nut put me on vitamins and especially b12. Talk your Nut and physician. Even now if I slack up off the protein though I get slowed down too. Good luck

Woohoo! Congrats on your 100 lb weight lost. You are Gorgeous! Continued Success. -
I agree my psych exam was the least of the very few unpleasant things I had to deal on my Journey to getting sleeved. Very easy, I did have a slight anxiety though. But, Even my questioner was not the long test I heard about.

Ballermom replied to DivaNurse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I wanted to Also loose the "100lbs" in 4.5 months. But that didn't happened. I started out at a size 22/24 now I'm at a size 12/14. Yay I'm rebooting this week trying to break the bad habits of slider foods. Day 2 in the 5 day pouch test. Yay Hoping to get to goal by 9- 10 months. -
I failed my gastric sleeve!
Ballermom replied to SK8RMOM's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
What is the 5:2 diet. -
Honey, you can do this. I do the same work. So I know how hard and exhausting the job can be. But you worked so hard to get the surgery I agree that it's too early to fall off course. But the great news is that we are here to support you. Call your Nut and physician. Put your self first! You Can do it. Good luck

Can someone help me with this whole "slider foods" concept?
Ballermom replied to endless80's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I had to go back to basics. Because popcorn has been a slider food for me. I read the post in the link provided and I can say my slider food attachment developed because I didn't like the full feeling. So I could eat a whole bag without feeling food. Sometimes i would rest and repeat. So now I'm on day 2 of the 5DPT. Mainly to get back to basics. I like that I'm reaching for protein. I' was stalling and not lost what I wanted, now these slider foods is part of the cause. -
Yep, it's ANOTHER ONEderland post!
Ballermom replied to zenandnow's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
