4 Month Post Op Doctor's Visit
Sweetybabs commented on Helen the Cat's blog entry in Helen the Cat's Blog
Wow...I, like you, have always been overweight...so to think about being to SKINNY...is somewhat optional in my book! As long as we are healthy ...I see no problem. Granted...I do not want to look like a skeleton! Congrats on the weightloss...and best of luck on your test! -
The scale HATES me!
How can a person gain 1/2 pound on a 900 calorie liquid diet and be excercising? HOW?! -
6 Months post op w/pics
Sweetybabs replied to kewlaid585's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Someday that will be ME! You have accoplished so much in 6 months! You deserve this moment..and you know it! Congrats! You are a great inspiration to us all! Looking forward to your "goal" pictures, too! -
Welcome...I am a newbie too! I am having my surgery on Nov. 2nd. I am so excited to add this tool to my toolbox. I learned early on the surgery is not the answer. Making a commitment to the long term lifestyle changes are the REAL answer to weight loss and management! I began my journey on Aug. 2, 2011... 1200 calorie/90 carbs/90-100 proteins/50 fats...and I added walking to the mix. As of today....I have lost 50lbs WITHOUT surgery! So, I know once I add the "tool", WLS to the mix...I will reach my goal and be able to maintain it for many years to come. I really wish you the best in your journey and may God bless you with your desired success!

I walked 1.5 miles....even though I was already exhausted! I am sure the scale will appreciate my efforts...LOL

Anyone Ever Had Gastric Sleeve Surgery In Mexico?
Sweetybabs replied to noeandyvetter's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I am confussed...why is so many people getting the surgery done in Mexico? I am just curious what the difference is! My surgery is Nov. 2nd in the grand state of OKLAHOMA! Just a few miles from where I live and where my friends and family members are! -
Went shopping today to get me a "reward" for losing 50 pounds...no it was not food related...it was 4 new shirts....and they are a size XL...NOT 3X or 2X...but a simple "off the rack" XL shirt fit perfectly! Woooo Hoooo!

Sweetybabs posted a blog entry in Sweetybabs' Blog
I began one week early to help shrink my liver...now the million dollar question is, what can I have that isn't a protein drink? HELP! -

Humm! Well...this is day 4 for liquids...and I must say, it has been easy! I don't feel hungry...and have to remind myself to have my protein shakes! Crazy I know...but it is working. I have lost 50 lbs in 2 1/2 mths! -
That is fantastic... God bless you!

What is $20? To most of us adults...it is nothing and it is a long ways from $100. So..the question is how many of us would be willing to give "someone" "$20" If we knew it would change their life? If you are interested in joining me in this $20 life changing experience...please email me and I will give you the details! Just remember, what goes around...comes back around! I promise this "person" is deserving and you will forever bless their life!

well... so far so good! The good news is the scale loves the liquid diet! Kim....you only did 3 days of liquids? Wow..I am required to do 2 weeks..but opted for 3 weeks just to be real sure the liver is smaller! After all that is the main reason for the liquid diet! I see alot of people only doing a few days...I wonder why? -
Yesterday was kind of awful
Sweetybabs commented on putasleeveonit's blog entry in putasleeveonit's Blog
That is priceless information for a pre-op girl like me. I am always on the go...sounds like I had better plan to change that for a few days! I have done a food log since I began the program...and plan to continue it as long as needed to make sure I am getting all the things I NEED! You are a inspiration...and sounds like you are on the road of recovery! God bless! -
AMEN!!!!

Well...about that "list"! They are re-vamping the nutrition section and did not give us one of those.."list" yet! To late for some of us! Yes, I saw her...twice! But she only talked about after and current...nothing about those glorious 2 weeks of liquids. I am assuming I can have anything liquid...creamed...or strained. Over all I am doing 3 protein shakes (27 gms of protein each shake) , gogurts, puddings, jello and creamed soup. I think that will cover me for the next few weeks. -
I am on day 2 of the liquids... I am so happy to have 1/2 cup of strained cream Soups...it is a treat! LOL It helps if you find a Protein drink that you like... or 3 in my case. I stocked up on all 3 amazing flavors...and they just called to tell me they have the chocolate Peanut Butter flavor in...I tried it today and it is AWESOME. IsoFlex is great!!! I am doing 3 weeks of liquids.... so by the end..I will hate them all.

Time till approval?
Sweetybabs replied to Bariatric Barry's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wholy Cow....3 days?!? They submitted me last week and we still are pending "Approval"! (Cause I know it is going to be approved..I am faithful) I too have slight apprehension about the alternative...but my faith is keeping me positive....and I am preparing as if I am already approved! Faith goes a long ways in my world! -
AWESOME JOB!!! I am ready for my surgery...it can't get here soon enough! I have done very well on the pre-op diet plan...and now I am on the liquid stage! 3 weeks from today....I will be sleeved! I love this site....if only I knew how to use it right...LOL

Thanks so much! Thank goodness it is fall...and soup (cream) sounds good to me! It is day 2...and over all I am doing great! I use the IsoFlex protein mix with 1% milk... it is awesome! They have many flavors...and all are excellent! -
Hummm! I didn't know that either! Thanks for the heads-up on protein!

You know the TRUTH...you lived the TRUTH, but all you speak now is LIES! Forgivness is a gift...not a excuse for ignorance!

I feel the same way!!! I have lost 45 lbs so far...and my surgery is 3 weeks from Wednesday! I know I am making the right choice...and I know that I will succeed because I have changed my eating habits already. The "tool" WLS is a bonus! I am struggling with exercise...because of my, plantar faciitis, foot pain. But....I am walking 1 1/2 miles atleast 3-4 days a week. Please keep us posted...and if you have any tips for the liquid diet part...PLEASE share that too!
