Well well new to this site and new to this life! I'm 25 mother from California... I had my surgery feb 28 one week ago and I thought the battle was actually getting to the surgery date and finally it's over with. But the battle has just begun!!! Liquid diet, protein shakes its all a little much but I know it's worth it in the long run but maaan am I missing food right about now!!! Need some friends right about now and not the skinny ones either lol on the bright side I have lost 14 pounds already!! And I don't need my pain meds I'm almost back to 100! Surprisingly everything is going well I'm able to drink Alot of water at once which I thought was weird maybe just me anyways....I'm really digging this app!

Suprised at how much of an a** my husband is being
djmelen replied to SweetTee's topic in The Gals' Room
I'm 7 days out and my husband has had a bit of an attitude. I understand I guess the hospital stay,family over Helping,everything all at once can be overwhelming especially the guilt he has eating my favorites in front off me! But what really gets me is he says things like this is something YOU wanted and you knew there was sacrifices while he guzzles down a double double with cheese! Maybe it just me or I'm jealous he can eat that and not gain a pound...but I'm really just trying to not make everyone suffer lol a house with 3 boys dinner still needed to be made and that's my job lol -

I'm 8 days post op and I'm guilty too I just can't help it I did the chew and spit but this diet is hard I'm in a pretty big Hispanic family and we eat!! So it's hard to smell all the good good and walk away! But I guess it has to be done this liquid diet is pretty blah but it will be worth it in the end but the funny thing is when I did cheat I didn't feel full or get any pain kinda scary

Any other ... smokers?
djmelen replied to buchannon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There sure are there so many different kind for different things uppers downers they have diet tea 1oz liquid thc they have just about everything in ca but I guess it's how it makes the person feel -
So I had the same problem who should I tell how will they judge? I always get but your not thst big to need sugary mind you I'm over 300 lbs the way I see it is this is life changing I'm going away with negativity! And that includes people if there not with it then they don't have to be a part of it after all the tears and fears they knew no matter whst anyone said I'm determined and I'm was going to do it took a little bit to come around but everyone is so supportive now! It's kind of like coming out of the closet for gay or lesbians but it has to be gone eventually and it's not healthy to hold things in! Not to mention when they do find out its worse cause most people feel dipped like your making a fool out of them but everyone's diffeent I have a new screw you policy lol

When Did Your Doctor Say You Could..... And When Did You?
djmelen replied to Pinky Green's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a regular medical marijuana patient and made my doctor aware if it immediately! I smoked pre op post op I'm 7 days out and I use different methods like liquid thc in like diet snapple and it not only helps with nausea but with stress which 7 days post up there a lot of! And as for the munchies there different effect to different stuff uppers downers! Even vaporizers everyone has there own option but for me and my doc no major concerns! -
