Weight loss... Weigh in with your opinions.
Sweetcarol238 replied to devine.adon's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Don't be discouraged. Everyone is different and each doctors plan is different. I lost 120 pounds in 7 months...10 more to goal, so you will be fine. -

I wake up in a panic and think I've cheated. -
Why do people make this commitment, risk their lives on a surgery table and then...
Sweetcarol238 replied to LipstickLady's topic in Rants & Raves
Have a friend who had the sleeve 2 weeks after me. He went to a different doctor and has a different plan. He is doing horrible...drinking...eating McDonalds, etc. he also stopped going for his checkups then he sees me - down 120 pounds in 7 months and keeps telling me I am losing to quickly...not eating enough...not healthy, etc. really getting annoying and I want to tell him off but he's my customer and I can't. Lol!! Some people think this is an instant cure and it's far from that. It's hard work. -

I Can't Wait To Not Have To...
Sweetcarol238 replied to BrickHouse's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I fly a lot for work and the best feeling was not having to ask for a seat belt extender and actually have so much room now in the seats and seatbelt is swimming on me. Lol. I also used to only fly business or first class because the seats are bigger. Love seating coach now!!! Lol -

What you wish you knew before the sleeve
Sweetcarol238 replied to Healthier2day1227's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am in sales and travel all over the world...part of my job is taking clients out to eat. I am 7 months out and have done great when eating out. The only issue I have is that I don't eat as slow as I do when I am Home...it's something we can't avoid (socializing) so don't avoid it. Believe me...I have lost 120 pounds in 7 months eating out 2 or 3 times a week. -
What is cauliflower rice? That sounds interesting. I'm sure you will be fine...pasta is very filling ,
-
I am 7 months post op and I have been getting dizzy all the time now. They actually want me to eat more...if you can believe it and drink more liquids.

How much weight have you lost on the pre-op diet?
Sweetcarol238 replied to thebabycakes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctors plan seems to be very different and restrictive compared to others I have spoken to. I have 2 protein shakes, 1 snack and1 meal a day. I work out everyday. I just wish I did the liquid before because I would have probably been at goal weight now. Lol -
Your doing fine. You don't want to eat a lot right after surgery.

Sweetcarol238 replied to Sweetcarol238's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
They want me to eat more but so afraid to try anything... -

Sweetcarol238 replied to thebabycakes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't have to do a pre op liquid diet... Kind of wish I did now, but I'm not complaining. Down 120 pounds in 7 months. -

Sweetcarol238 replied to Sweetcarol238's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My doctor's plan is so restrictive. I wish that there was a standard plan for everyone. I'm down 120 in 7 months. 10 pounds till goal weight of 135...so I don't think the jello will hurt me but so afraid. Will check with my doctor. Thanks you. -
LEARN A VALUABLE LESSON FROM MY MISTAKES
Sweetcarol238 replied to linda1000's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Same problem here,,,my doctor has me taking clear Metamucil everyday...not that it helps much. He also gave me a stool softener...I suggest you ask for that. -
Try not to weigh yourself. I only weighed myself on my doctor check ups. Now that I am close to maintenance, I have to weigh myself once a week at home to monitor how I am doing. I felt that way in the beginning... Then it comes off. How are you feeling otherwise?
-
It takes time. Don't be disappointed. I am down 120 pounds in 7 months...10 pounds till my goal weight. Your doing really well.
