Get your butt up and walk!

Whenever someone asks me a question I don't care to answer, I simply say, "Now why in the world would you ask someone a question like that?" and then smile at them as if they were a total asshat, which of course, they are.

Things I can't wait for Post-OP.

Let's hope you don't fit into ANY of your clothes and that you need to buy all new smaller sizes!! -
Just shy of 6 weeks

You are awesome! I can feel and hear your excitement. Wooooot! -
If you go to check in, then measurements, there is an option to "track additional". You can add whatever you'd like!

Yay cheeze! Can't wait I hear from you after!

Strange feeling?
LipstickLady replied to musiclover's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I, too, have the Mirena. I had no periods for 6 years or so because of it till VSG. I spent my first two months post op on my period and it sucked. Any rapid weight loss can trigger a period, iud or not. You are still cycling, cramps may be harder than normal and you might bleed. Be prepared. -
Today is my day to become a loser.

Exciting day! You are going to do great! -
How to measure when eating out?
LipstickLady replied to loftyleo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Order yogurt and fruit. Easier to gauge and push around on your plate. -
When I am hungry, I get nauseated and a little cranky. I do have that empty feeling which may or may not be acid, but it's definitely hunger along with the possibility of acid because I am doing everything I can not to eat between meals. My meals are spaced about 3-4 hours apart with one snack. Pre-surgery, I was rarely hungry. I was far too much of a bulk eater to ever be truly hungry.

One of the best lessons my Sleevilla has taught me to date.

I wish I had a dollar for every piece of pizza I've eaten just to get to the crust. I like pizza but I don't love it. But the crust? Oh man... I'd be rich and fifty pounds thinner, at least! -
Caffeine will dehydrate you. (It will also stimulate a big poo...friendly warning!). Wait until you are getting your fluids in regularly and until your potty habits are regular.

You will relearn that lesson over and over and over and over and...

One of the philosophies that is pounded into us at my martial arts dojang is "Belief is stronger than truth or fact". Think about that.

We definitely are. I was eating my refried beans when this lightbulb moment struck. I, too, was eating around the edges saving the bite with the most pepperjack cheese and raw onions when I realized I was probably never going to get to that bite. I ate it, it was delicious and I had no desire to eat any more. -
I showered the next day. Don't stay in there forever, pat dry the incisions and get all that stinky hospital smell off.

Phentermine is legal. Fenfluramine (the other half of phen/fen) is not. That's the drug that was causing heart attacks.

No apologies! Just a ramble from me.

I also feel repulsed by others' eating. I contain it. The only people that make me sad are my friends who really want to/need to lose lots of weight and need the surgery but can't get it for various reasons.

Chicken nuggets have carbs. It's in the breading.

Take a bun, put it in a glass of water and watch it grow. That's what it will do in your tummy. You will learn to love them without the bread. I make an awesome bread less Philly Cheesesteak. Yup. You read that right!

You will be fine. Stick to your diet from here!

She sure is! I bet you are as well. Good for you!

I'm not real sure he cares much for women or their opinions. That's the vibe I got, anyways. Hopefully that changes as he gets happier with himself.
