To tell or not to tell your work about WLS
Stella S replied to colleenfrances's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
No way. If anyone had asked I.panned to say genital implants My work has boundaries and is not tolerant of knowing specifics. I took medical leave. Did the same for plastics 2 years later. -
Jenn1 summed it up. Not sure but I bet sodium is also high. I try to stick with food with less than 5 ingredients which is not sausage deli meat some cheeses and the pop tart plus. After holiday I am coming off carb cravings too. I drink a glass of water then wait 30 minutes after noticing hunger.

How to tell a loved one you plan to get WLS?
Stella S replied to AK37's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I sat him down - over wine and told him. Had spoken about previously. It happened quick and cost a bundle We had a few moments. He was not on board until like 6 months after. It was hard Life is hard. I knew he was with me even though he disagreed and was confused. He was scared It is OK. Trust. -

Help - I’ve stalled during first month!
Stella S replied to amybeth150's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hang in there. Maybe cut back on exercise to you get more fuel. Take measurements you may be building muscle. All just passing thoughts. The stalls are frustrating and is easy to lose sight of the fabulous progress you have made. -
Agree - it was through activity I pushed that last few lbs off! You have done amazing!! At 120 - 5 lbs is like a clothes size! Financial stress is stress - which makes weight stick.

Excellent. Yes fitness but all goals connect to wellness. I joined a running group in 2017 now setting a couple milestones for 2018. Had the WLS to be healthier more active. I hit goal in 2016 an have to work to stay here!
