revangela78 replied to Lucabelle1313's topic in Food and Nutrition
Had a slow week and a half. Haven't changed eating amount but not moving. Up and down the same .5 pounds. Granted been lax on the gym because of work obligations. Trying not to get discouraged but ready for the weight loss to resume -
August Sleevers..what Is The Progress
revangela78 replied to Lucabelle1313's topic in Food and Nutrition
Hi Aug. Sleevers. I was sleeved 8/15 and am the poster child telling everyone best decision I ever made. Started at 303 was done to 286 day of surgery and today I'm down to 253! I haven't seen 250 since college 13yrs ago! I still struggle to get allll my water in but I have a good protein shake to start the day, 3 small high protein meals. and if I snack its nuts or yogurt. -

If the scale is right I've gained 2.4lbs n 3 days. Trust me, not eating enuff to be anywhere near gaining weight. Did anyone else have this issue? I thought I was retaining water but now I don't know

Bummed At People's Reactions
revangela78 replied to AngelBaby's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I love all the positive feedback but I do have to say one thing over eating is a disease just like alcaholism, drug addiction, etc. When I fianlly understood that it helped me immensely to deal with it. My surgeon and my shrink even presented over eating n obesity as a disease n epidemic that is killing us. That is the the thing that people who see surgery as a "easy out" don't understand. Food had control over me. This surgery, this past year preparing was me taking control back. But I'm not cured, daily desires, just got to remember from where I came -

some ppl can be supportiive some dont understand its a disease. u have to know which one is which. I started out as a secret but im proud of this code and this was not the easy way out m this is hard and those who are against me can get behind me -
I sometimes wonder was there anuthing done. I'm like maybe the stomach is still there n they are lying to me. I don't know how different I thought I would feel...how do u feel when u eat. Mind u I started full liquid today n felt tightening n constriction...I'm guessing that's not normal

Ended up in ER today. Thought it was blood clot. Looks more like a muscle strain or nerve issue. Scared me I know I needed to be walking felt like a big set back but full steam ahead
