It has begun...Relationship changes
MouseOnTheMile replied to Nurse_B's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Be cordial with this person and nothing else. She wants you to be angry and lash out at her. She wants to get under your skin. She sounds completely malicious and jealous and all around a bad time. Cut that tie as soon as possible, I can already see that as soon as you stop talking to her she will lash out in some way, saying because of your surgery you think you're too good for her BLABLAHBLAH it's all just noise, because you've seen her true colors. There such be no room in your life for someone so toxic. Best of luck! -

On The Verge Of Mental Collapse
MouseOnTheMile replied to MouseOnTheMile's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started at 259, they want me at 245 and I've stalled at 253 for most of it. I understand the science behind it, I was a bio major once upon a time. My scale must be screwing with me, to put me down and then up two in an hour without any intake of food doesn't make sense. Debating buying a new one tonight and burning this one for its treachery. -
On The Verge Of Mental Collapse
MouseOnTheMile replied to MouseOnTheMile's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for the kind words everyone. It's the time frame that has me freaked out. If they weren't going by weight loss as the signature for if my liver is small enough, I wouldn't be nearly as freaked out. -

MouseOnTheMile replied to MouseOnTheMile's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I asked if they do a test for if my liver is small enough and was told they just go by how much weight I lose preop. So yes, it is about weight loss at this point. I am fully ready for stalls post op. I don't care if I'm a fast or slow loser because I know it'll happen with time and effort and thats why I'm doing it young, cause I have lots of time to reach my goals. But when I have paid a great deal of money to travel and have a surgery done and only have two weeks to get done to their projected weight and their diet is not working and if I go there and they don't operate that's waste cash on flights, then yes, I have more than a right to be distraught about the scale not showing my efforts. -

MFP calories: Aim for goal or net?
MouseOnTheMile replied to outwithbenjiboi's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I ignore the starvation message, and I understand why it's there. Obviously we as wls users with doctors order to only eat 800 calories a day are the minority of people using it and MFP is most likely covering its back with the disclaimer message to avoid encouraging people with eating disorders of another breed from finding the app enabling to their illness. It probably sadly still happens but at least they understand what implications a calorie counter can have on certain minds. -

Hehe I don't think you'll be doing much swimming dear it's still surgery, those other days there you'll still be recovering. I could be wrong though. -

Should I have the surgery?
MouseOnTheMile replied to Short N Sweet's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What most people don't realize (especially someone whose never had a large amount of weight to lose) is that studies show that if you need to lose more than 20% of your body mass (most of us need to lose well over that), the only real way to secure that loss and MAINTAIN that weight loss long term is through surgery. People might think its extreme but yoyo dieting hasn't gotten us anywhere except obese and it's not their life being effected by it. You make the choice for you, and your mother will deal with it either way. My parents weren't thrilled at first and I only have around 90 pounds to lose, but now they have come around and are being extremely supportive. Because they know I'm trying to fix this now so I don't have issues when I'm older. Mostly parents and other support systems worry because they fear surgery will kill you. You are FAR more likely to die of obesity related health problems than you are to from the sleeve. Let us know what you decide either way -

I've emailed the nutritionist a couple times, she said well reevaluate closer to the day if we need to get an extra push of sorts. Still nervous :/ -

Im six days into my preop and have only lost 6 pounds. They asked me to try and lose 15. I'm feeling very nervous... I don't want to be rejected. I started at 259 and it's slow going.
