Amen sista

Lol PaulB. Well I've said no more babies for a while because we have our hands full at this moment.

My insurance requires 6 months of dr supervised diet. BUT I was able to get everything done in 60 days. It is possible. But you have to be your own advocate. My surgeons insurance coordinator told me I might be denied because I didn't wait 6 months but I had faith And said I wanted to see if they would approve me and they did within 3 days. But I also should tell you that I am 3 weeks post op and there are times I regret it. Because you will never know how much your life will change until you do it. I miss my foods so much and I am now totally lactose intolarant but I am feeling better little by little. Try to tell them what you want. And you just might get it.

I am 21 days out and 30 pounds down.

That was a week or so ago now I can't even eat hardly anything now my pouch is working full blast. Including vomiting, dumping and telling me my stoma doesn't want anymore.

I can't swallow so I start sucking and it always leads to more than it leads to a new baby. But I am done for at least 3-4 yrs. I have 4 now and 3 under 3 so I want this time for me.

Well I just threw up. No fun. I am headed back to pure liquids I think.

I am totally F@&$ing lactose intolarant and super sad. Because I was part rat before and now no more dairy. Not even cheese. :..(

Uuuufff I started working out 2 days ago now I'm on a stall. WTF?!?! I thought I would drop more. Now its 2 days and not even down an ounce.

It totally is. Damn on a diet u can cheat. I we cheat we dump or feel like our insides are gonna explode. How the bleep is that the easy way out!?!?!?

ITs not an easy way out. At all

Very true. I think that we are doing a disservice by not telling the whole truth tho because we gotta make a truly informed dicision.

Thanks. I am feeling better and I am trying to see the positives. I am very thankful for this surgery. It's just hard to break up with a food addiction I've had for 20+ years. Trust me I want to over come this. But I guess I never knew exactly what I was getting myself into. Which is strange to say because I saw SO many videos and posts about RNY but I cannot recall anyone who shared how much this phase sucks.

Oh well I won't be doing that. The last time I was biteing and sucking I got pregnant.

Thanks everyone for the love and understanding. I am trying to keep things in perspective but I'm struggling. I appreciate being able to keep it 100 here and be honest.
