Dr Ramos Kelly
Sassafras replied to lovemybabygirls's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
My husband is having surgery with Dr. Kelly June 1st, but at Mi Doctor. I had surgery with him last August and had a great experience. -
Found it Here ya go http://slickdeals.net/localdeal/1836506/10-or-15-crossfit-classes

Yes. It was an Amazon Local deal for the Inland Empire. It was a timed deal available for a week I think and it was good at the Crossfit Covert in Calimesa I believe. If I can find the link I'll post it. If the deal is over sometimes you can call the business offering it and they will still offer it to you. I have done that with hair deals before.

Sassafras commented on Sassafras's gallery image in Member Photo Gallery
Thank you guys! I have started looking at my body in a new light after posting these and getting such positive feedback. Yes my body isnt what it was before I abused it but I am going to wear those flaws with pride knowing that I had the strength to conquer the my weight problem. And Lemonpoppyseed I am so sorry to hear about the keloids, but wear them with pride for what you have accomplished. Besides bikinis are overrated a sexy monokini is where its at!! -

Vets-Do you eat "back" the calories you burn through exercise?
Sassafras replied to M2G's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I found this in an article called "8 Reasons Why You're Not Losing Weight" on sparkpeople. I remembered this question and thought I'd post it here. #1 You're eating back all the calories you burn. When you work out, you're burning extra calories. That's why exercise is so important in the weight-loss equation. But a lot of people overestimate how much they burn—and even use the "I exercised today" excuse to later overeat, overdrink (think alcohol) or overindulge. How many times have you faced a food temptation and thought, "Well, I worked out today, so it's OK this time." Or even, "I'll have this now, but work out extra hard tomorrow to burn it off." If that sounds all-too-familiar, this is one major reason why you're not losing weight. For the exercise to help you lose, you can't re-eat all those extra calories you burned. And in most cases, we overestimate how many calories we actually burned and underestimate how many calories we're actually eating, which means using that 3-mile walk (240 calories burned) to justify that restaurant meal (1,000+ calories, anyone?) leaves you in a worse position than if you may realize: at a calorie surplus. The Takeaway: Exercise can help you lose when you're really using it to burn extra calories, not as a reason to eat more. -
Thanks guys!! This was exactly what I needed to know. I bought the amazing deal on the crossfit classes for him right after reading your replies! He's going to love it

Yay for your self control! What a victory!!! I usually curb cravings by logging them first on MFP. Nine times out of ten I won't eat it but every now and then I think its worth it, but its a decision I make mindfully and usually tailor the rest of my day around it. That being said I eat the eggo protein waffles sometimes with Mrs. Butterworths sugar free syrup

Sassafras replied to Sassafras's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you so much!! You guys are really making me look at my body in a different light! I guess after what all I put my body through I should appreciate the about the good things about it and less focused on the not so good parts!! Seriously, your comments are making my YEAR!! -

Sassafras replied to Sassafras's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
While its not in the best shape its still there lol Before I gained the weight and while I was heavy it was more bubbley, if that makes sense. Its kind of fallen to the bottom and lost some top fullness, which I am sad about. I think I would consider the butt plastic surgery where they put the fullness back it, but we'll see where I end up after the last 15-25 lbs Thank goodness for shapewear lol -

Sassafras replied to Sassafras's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You are waaaay too kind, but thank you so very much!! While I am self concious and pick myself apart without my clothes on, I just have to remember that overall it isn't too bad and I need to be grateful for that. -

Sassafras replied to Sassafras's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm glad it helped! It makes the embarrassment worth it ha ha Its great that you have age on your side. I am sure you will bounce back beautifully. My cup size has actually gone up since surgery. I was a 40D before surgery and I just recently got measured and was a 36DDD. I guess I have lost weight in the circumference of my band area faster than I have lost boob. My boobs have deflated some and hang a tad lower but my hubby is still very happy and he's a boob guy so they must not be too bad YET lol I still have 15- 25lbs to go though so who knows how they'll end up. -
