Ok, I am officially insane!
SeriouslyChange replied to buttrfli1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Actually if you read your previous post you pretty much stated that expecting to be treated with "kid gloves" is unrealistic. We are all adults. As you also stated, this is "tough love" well it's tough love for all of you guys that like to come on threads putting people down. What did YOU expect? For everyone to jump on your bandwagon? A lot of us have been bullied in the past. And bullying comes in many forms. You were also at a point in your life where you'd rather junk to healthy options. And if you really think a "kick in the butt" solves the situation, reality is it doesn't. It makes people feel like sh*t about themselves, to lose focus, and to start to hate themselves. This is a new beginning for a lot of us. Why can't we all just be supportive of each other? No one understands these situations better than all of us as we've all been there before. -

What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
SeriouslyChange replied to bigjoe102's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My grandmother passed away 2 days before my birthday and I realized that if I looked back on my life when I was 90, I wouldn't want to think, "if only I did something about my weight instead of letting it hold me back." I couldn't fit in movie theater seats. I am always sweating at work. I always feel like people are looking at how fat I am. Most of it is in my head and it took me a few years to work on those demons. Now I am finally ready to work on my life as a whole and improve my future physically and mentally. -

I Can't Wait To Not Have To...
SeriouslyChange replied to BrickHouse's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't wait to finally be happy with my body. I'm sure i won't look perfect but getting to a 16-18 from a 24-26 is perfect for me. -
Why dont I have a pre-opp diet?
SeriouslyChange replied to tarry1124's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a couple of classes, blood work, and a sleep study. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? My surgeon said they don't require a lot of tests for younger patients -

Oh okay. The acid reflux is killer. My favorite is tomatoe soup and it kills my stomach but tastes delicious, lol -

I find that my dad is always, "Have you eaten enough? Have you taken your vitamins?" -

I have an almost Splenda like taste in my mouth as well. It gets pretty annoying really fast. Will the taste go away when I stop loosing? Or when will it go away?

11 weeks out
SeriouslyChange replied to michellebelle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's what I am truly dreading when I go back to work. Many people at my job know that I was sleeved. And I feel as though big brother will be watching. -

I'm almost 2 weeks out so I know how you're feeling. I feel as though I'm getting "hungry" lol I wouldn't reccomend starches as a starter food. Try cottage cheese, an egg, or some thinly sliced deli meat. I'm looking forward to the eggs as soon as my surgeon Okays it on Tuesday. -
Post Op Rash? Hormones?
SeriouslyChange replied to sunshyneqtie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you're having a reaction to the surgical tape and OTC cream isn't working, visit your primary care doctor. They can prescribe you something for that. Happened to me too! And now I have scabs from all the scratching -
Just curious!
SeriouslyChange replied to SweetSaso's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You probably have denser bones and are more muscular than others. I was told that if I worked out a lot, I could end up a super buff size 4 at 175 pounds and I'm 5'4. Muscle does weigh more than fat. -
Attn kaiser members.....
SeriouslyChange replied to Jimbo_D's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was 7 months out. If it hadn't been for me finding out I had sleep apnea at 4 months in, i would have been sleeved at 4 months. It really depends on your appointments. Start the program, push for classes ASAP -
Learning Experience!
SeriouslyChange replied to buforu21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah, just ask if they have experience with overeating or Bariatric patients. It's a pretty common issue that a lot of us face so I'm sure you can find someone -

Speak with your psychologist that you had to see to get your date. Many of them have seen these problems before as they have to evaluate us all. -

Not able to stop loosing weight ?
SeriouslyChange replied to coltonwade's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
From what I've read your body eventually settles at a weight. May be past your goal but yeah. I wouldn't reccomend slider foods and high calorie foods just because you don't want to get back into bad habits and end up gaining a whole lot more weight. -

Surgery Is Tomorrow 12/6 ! So Nervous
SeriouslyChange replied to skinnyjenn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was crying when they wheeled me into the operating room. I was so scared. And I made sure my surgeon knew. But I was also very excited. I'm 9 days out and it's been an interesting journey so far. Proves to me that i can do anything that I put my mind to. -

Stretch Marks Please Help
SeriouslyChange replied to Carol Watts's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You could try the same stuff pregnant women use on their belly. You can fade them a bit but they'll never go away completely as they are a type of scar. : ) I think of mine as battle scars
