Do the best you can. Learn as much as you can. Start curring out the "no-nos", smoking, carbonated drinks, caffine. Start practicing keeping records and eating focused on Proteins and veggies. Don't worry on losing weight. Work on following a plan and getting in control of the "fat brain"

The Reasons I Would Never Recommend This Surgery To Anyone Anymore.
Arts137 replied to endless80's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
From Laura Ven: "THIS IS MAJOR SURGEY and should be the last resort after all avenues have been exhausted. There are risks but if you are fat enough those risks are outweighed by the benefits..." When asked I answer any questions that I can, refer 'em to this board, and remind them to consider EVERYTHING else before major (and permanent) surgery. I do not advocate, but I do support. THANKS for the post!!! -

The Food Police Were Out In Full Force Yesterday!
Arts137 replied to Seela's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
well done -
Don't disagree, and since it took me THREE times to find someone to STAY in love with how could I. BUT... now is not the time. Your mind is in a fragile state and you do not - cannot - make clear decisions now. And no matter what get counseling for yourself... first.

Arts137 replied to LipstickLady's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
Darling dear, our lives and weight loss may be complicated by (in my case at least) ages, I I still have a lotta life in me. So do you. And thinner will help.

First Day Of Pre-Op Diet
Arts137 replied to kellymoon122013's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After 3/4 days it'll be a piece a cake (without the cake) -
Depends on what you mean by "with you". I am with you, it's hard. But I felt (vis my research) that it was pretty important. Do it!

Why DON'T you get to celebrate? Have a great time with your family and friends, and think about this: Food does not need to be the center of attention -- the reason for every celebration!

Your GI track is going through some BIG changes. It WILL get better, but don't trust them farts...

Me too Life. I am in a 3 week stall... But I believe that if we stick with our program, this too shall pass. Just avoid the One Big Mistake... giving up.

I want EVERYTHING all the time... Luckily, wanting is very low calorie. But if there is an add on TV, then that restaurant is OFF LIMITS to me. Taco Bell is out (for me)

How Much Help Did You Need?
Arts137 replied to GotItDoneInHarlem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wanted to be left alone. My loverly wife waited on me my first day home but stopped when she (finally) realized that I neither needed or wanted the extra care. PS, I am a TERRIBLE patient.
