I'll try and scrounge up the courage to tell him. I. Just so embarrassed being this heavy and only 23! Having 2 kids in 2 years (and bad pod after each) really screwed my body up! But i know it's my own fault and I have to take control!

I know this time next year ill be a new person, but I hate the person I am now, and I hate how I'm treating my husband because of my lack of self esteem.

Thanks, I'm definitely not doing the food funeral, I actually just started Atkins shakes for Breakfast and lunch and a regular dinner (low carb). My husband just bought me a George Forman grill so I've been obsessed with grilling chicken and steaks lol.

2 month surgiversay and down 44 pounds since surgery
JessicaAnn replied to Nicole Chavez's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Wow you look fantastic! I'm still pre op but I have the same exact stats. I'm 5'3" and weigh 285lb. I also have the same body type. How is your skin holding up as far as looseness? You look young too (I'm 23) so I was just wondering. -
Did anyone need to lose 200+ lbs?

I have to lose about 160 so I'm looking forward to see other answers! -
Recipe ideas for the puree stage...
JessicaAnn replied to kc82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How does purée chicken taste? I'm a texture freak and keep thinking of my son's baby food and how gross it smelled/looked -
I guess it depends on te doctor. I know my doc does some test during preop blood work the week of surgery and will postpone the surgery if it shows you still have the chemicals in your body
-
I know my doc requires quitting 2 months before surgery. Not to preach, but if you can go a few months without it, why go back to smoking?
-
Is it something they don't see until they're in there? Can it been seen by an endoscopy? What are the symptoms? I've had a lot of gastro issues for about 10 years and no one can pin point the issue. Wondering if maybe it's a hernia that's been unseen.
-
That's the age I got it. I had an ulcer when I was 11, these symptoms started shortly after. Are there meds to manage it? I've tried almost all ppi's on the market and none work
-
-
No I'm pre op. I've had csections, but obviously they wouldn't see it then.
-
I though maybe it could be a hernia that's been missed
-
Oh ok, because I've had chronic heartburn, diarrhea and gas for over 10 years. All tests come back fine and normal
-
Did you have symptoms that's you wrote off as something else that was really caused by the hernia?
-
This is good to hear. I've had two csections, one being an emergency where they cut me pretty hastily.
-
Don't have anything to add because I'm pre op, but just reading through the titles of the threads, I stopped on yours and thought this was about a "male problem" lol
-
My mother in law and father in law both got the band. They never lost more then 20-30lbs and they are constantly puking. They also say that the "good foods" are the ones that often get stuck while the crappy, unhealthy stuff slides right down.

7 months post-op - Return of the HUNGER!
JessicaAnn replied to LawDiva312's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe you need a different one? I've read here that some people need to change their ppi. I know protonix is a common one that's a little stronger then Prevacid. I'm on protonix now, but I'm still pre op -
