Question for the slow losers
Elode replied to AuriP's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I don't even know what's considered a "slow" loser? Who knows the guidelines for that?? I think sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves. If your working your programs like you should and your losing weight that's all that should really matter. In order to be "slow" you would have to be comparing yourself to someone else's weight loss. Don't do that. -

Sounds good. Thanks for sharing! -
It's probably not going to be as bad as your imagining. Pain is a short side effect of a beautiful journey!

If I'm not trying to build muscle, why should I care about protein?
Elode replied to chunkyloverlovesyou's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
There is no way I could possibly even begin to explain how important protein is in your body. Protein is used In every cell in your body. You need protein for protein synthesis and DNA replication. The body's primary building block for muscle, bone, skin, hair, and many other tissues is protein. There are over 10,000 different proteins that are found and needed in the body for maintaining life. After water has been excluded 75 percent of your body weight consists of protein. Crazy huh?! Proteins play many important roles in the body including the structure of enzymes; these are important proteins that help reactions occur in the body, such as releasing from the food we eat. Proteins also function as transport proteins such as hemoglobin; an iron containing protein that transports oxygen to exercising muscles via the bloodstream. Protein consist of amino acids. Amino acids are extremely important . There are twenty different amino acids of which eight are considered essential because they cannot be generated by the body but are necessary for survival. The body uses amino acids circulating in the blood stream, released from the breakdown of tissues, or consumed in the diet to make protein. It's incredible just how important protein is in our bodies not just for building muscle. Eat/ drink your protein whatever just get some I've been studying protien in college for years. Every one of my mastering courses that involves the human body has a section on the importance of protien. Ok, that's enough class for today!!! Class dismissed! -
I use to watch that show all the time. Food addiction either too much too little can be a bad deal!

Has anyone tried a waist trainer?
Elode replied to Pac-woman's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I like that it comes down over my big hips and up over my entire back to smooth it all out! Sorry the picture is side ways I don't know why it's like that it's not that way on my IPad. -

So I have heard contradictory stories.....why are we not suppose to drink from a straw?
Elode replied to Thinkingthinner1109's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't know I am drinking out of a straw right now and I'm fine. I think I get more air opening my mouth gulping than I do through a straw. -

Choosing Fat over Sugar?
Elode replied to DizzyLib's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My NUT and surgeon told me to use the real stuff and not use diet because of all the hidden sugar. They said if they take out fat they add sugar and if they take out sugar they add fat...it's pretty accurate. -
