Update/stupid decisions/ what should I do?
KindaFamiliar replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
So you take six weeks or so off... It's not like you're planning on gorging yourself... Just relaxing your rules a little... Give it a crack... And if it's not working for you then try something else... You're a young, healthy woman... You're now in a position to experiment to some degree, especially knowing that you have all the right tools (mental and physical) to get yourself back on track if and when you need to... You're a smart kid... You'll sort your s**t out... -
Update/stupid decisions/ what should I do?
KindaFamiliar replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Stay off the smokes!! But you know that... Stay off the drink if it's going to make you smoke...(I'll not say 'stay off the drink' because I have a drink on occasion myself..) Stop snacking... Stop 'trying' to lose weight and, for a while, just be... I know this seems like an overly simple reply to what is a complex post, but sometimes, if things are put simply, they can seem much less like big issues... Good luck with it all @@Elode See.. Deep down I do give a s**t... -
I concur... My stomach was (and still can be) a noisy little bastard... And as far as that 'feeling' goes, I also had a weird feeling for the first few weeks after surgery... It wasn't pain... It wasn't hunger... It was like an empty feeling... But not really... It's VERY hard to explain... But I had it... So if that's anything like what you're feeling, just relax..

3 pounds in three days despite the swelling and IV fluids is great!! Just follow the doc's orders and you'll be fine... And come in here and vent when you need to.. That's what we're here for!!!

3 times 10 does not equal 70!
KindaFamiliar replied to Sharon1964's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As much as it pains me, I'm with @Elode The bulk of my Protein comes from shakes... I do at least three, usually four, each day... Of course, I'm no doctor of stuff... But it seems to be working for me... And it's a hell of a lot easier on me than trying to digest meat!!! -
On the bright side, you've already started to lose weight... Of course, it's not gonna be really noticeable yet... At 3 days post-op you're still swollen and healing... But you're losing weight... Stay on top of things @@scarlep It's shitty and awful and all that... But it's worth it... I promise you it's worth it...

Low vibe day... Because sometimes, things just SUCK!!! But at least I still have... Oh shut up!!!

Does your significant other smell different?
KindaFamiliar replied to BigTone78's topic in The Guys’ Room
I know I'm a little late to the conversation but having super sensitive smell is something I'm experiencing... It's only been since the surgery and it's doing my head in... I can smell the slightest thing... And yes, people DEFINITELY smell different now to what they did pre-op... -
Not really...

You know you lost weight when
KindaFamiliar replied to Thomas CPA's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
And on that theme... When you're standing with your hand in your pocket and realise that your hand is in your back pocket!!! You've lost so much weight that your pockets are now meeting up on your hips... Perhaps it's time to but some new pants... -
Well, it amused me...
