May 6th was a life change for me...
biggietosmaller replied to MadamPrincess24's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hang in there yall. We all had the surgery for a reason or more. Please keep that/those thing(s) in the forefront of your mind. We must learn to retrain our thoughts, actions and desires. We now eat to live instead of living to eat. The sleeve is our tool, friend, constant pal to help us achieve the things we had trouble doing. For me, it was overeating that I needed help with. Although I am only 2 weeks and 1day out, I have changed my focus from food being the center of my life. I have gone out to Breakfast just to spend time with my partner and it did not bother me because the focus was on sharing time and not the food. I know tgat evemtually I will be able to eat again but my tool will be able to help me not overeat if I use it. I am sorry that the lady at the party was so insensitive with her statement but in my case that statement may have had some truth and thus the reason I got the sleeve was to help stop me from overeating and getting help conntroling the amount I could wolf down. Please be careful in the choices you make when you decide to cheat and limit those things as much as possible. My go to cheat has been cheeses nips because they pretty much liquidfy. It was not something I am proud of and I know that if I made that a daily go to, eventually that high carb junk food will get out of hand. My biggest fear is going throigh all of this and ending up gaining all my weight back or not meeting any of my goals. I won't be able to blame anyone but myself because I dod not use the gift I gave myself...my sleeve. -

Looking great keep up good work. -
surgery tomorrow, 1 main concern
biggietosmaller replied to joseainoa's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Relax!!! Don't worry about something you can't change by tomirrow. Trust that you have done your part and things will work out either way. If it does not happen tomorrow, there maybe a good reason. If you can't shake this worry, call your surgeon's office, they may be able to helo ease your worry. -
1 month post op tomorrow.

I've been able to do it.... me and my Water bottle are attached at the hip! . This great to hear. I think I just can't get past the lack of thirst or huger that I'm used to telling me to drink or eat. I keep a bottle close by I just don't want it. All that I've got in has been because I forced it and I'm still not nearly there may be 32 oz tops. But on a good note I can drink Protein shakes if I think about which I know people are having trouble with. I'm no quitter I'm gonna keep trying. Thx for giving me hope that it can in fact be done. Do you know that counts towards your 64oz? Well at least that is what my doc says.

Day 5 of pre-op diet...Only minor cheating like eating a few almonds and wanton soup but only ate the meat and one or two pieces of the noodles. Also, a teaspoon of peanut butter and banana before hitting the gym this morning. I have been in the gym every day since starting so far!!!!

4th day on pre-op diet and scale says 234 on 4/16. That is down 13 lbs. from last weigh in at my doctor's office with clothes on. I should have weighed in at home in bday suit on Sunday morning before starting diet but I knew I had been bad the last few weeks and hated to face what the reality of my actions would have been in weight gain. I am happy that I am 3lbs lighter than I was the last time I weighed myself at home about a month and 1/2 ago. I thank God for helping me to have a good start.

Awww that is great that you have a supportive husband. I am sure you may have warned him about the mood swings and his love for you is more than that little breakdown you had. -
Thank you Lord!!! Day 3 and I made it to the gym first thing this morning. I feel a a lot better than I did yesterday. I took some cough syrup last night and this morning just in case I'm coming down with a cold or something. I also placed a call to my nutritionist to make sure that I'm getting enough food based on new gym routine and also I'm going to eat lunch instead of waiting for dinner. I will let you know how I feel later. have a great day

I am afraid (God has not given me that spirit!111) a trainer will push me too hard. I just can't see myself being tortured like some of the trainers I see on tv like on the Biggest Looser.
