What to do? Who to tell? & the reactions!
belle40 replied to mafe's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I just had surgery June 30th. It was the BEST decision I have ever made in my life! You have to do what's best for YOU and to become healthier so you will be around for your daughter and husband! This is not your mother in laws decision. This is YOURS! Not everyone will support you. I had to come to terms with that. But you have to get passed that! Besides....as long as your spouse supports you....that's what matters. Personally, I would advise anyone who's had weight problems to have the surgery! But it's a decision that only you can make. Don't let others make you question yourself when you know the decision you're making for yourself is the best one. Good luck to you! -

my routine has been shake (premier protein) in the morning, chicken/salmon/scallops for lunch (one of those), teriyaki turkey jerky snack, and then whatever protein I make for dinner. I don't eat any sides right now, as getting water and protein are most important. For treats I have fudgecicles or SF popcicles. May sound boring to some, but I am thrilled with the results!

FYI!! I know this has more than likely been discussed but I haven't seen it! I have been wanting something fruity to drink so I went to the sonic becasue I knew they had slushes made with Splenda. Well I orderd a DIET CHERRY SLUSH.....don't be fooled by the word DIET! The car hop informed me that the flavored syrup was sugar free but the slush mix (the clear mix they make all the slushes with) IS NOT SUGAR FREE!! Needless to say, I sent it back!! I feel deceived!! I have drank them before surgery before and that is why I knew they had them, but I had NEVER been told that they are really NOT surgar free!! Just letting y'all know!!

You look amazing!! My mom has been on my weight my whole life. I'm only 23 days out from surgery so I'm not at that place yet where people tell me that! -
I am one month out and here is a before and after
belle40 replied to grandmaofone's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
That's so awesome!! The only advice I can give you is make sure you're getting in your protein if you're not drinking shakes. Your hair will begin thinning out. The best I have found that taste like chocolate milk is Monster Muscle Milk. Not only does it have protein but also gives me energy!! Good luck and keep reaching for your goals!! -
Feel like I'll pop if I put anything else in my mouth today.
belle40 replied to KarenKaye's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yeah first 3 days are clear liquids. Then 4th-14th day is full liquids. Then 15th day start soft foods. I imagine you do feel bloated. Your tummy is not ready for what you're putting in it. I can only do 3oz of anything at a time and I'm 17 days out. I just started soft foods this week. Take care and don't over do it. -
At 4 days out you're more than likely still expelling the gas from the surgery. I noticed I burp less (I'm 12 days out) but I now get the hiccups really easily and that's not fun at all. And I'm not sure why I do.

Hey my sleeved friends! I'm 4 days post op, 11 lbs down, and feeling really great. Today I start on full liquids and so excited, however I have not felt hungry at all. I have to make myself stay on schedule and take in what I need. This was the best decision of my life!

2 more days until surgery! I'm excited, nervous, impatient, joyful, scared, thankful, blessed, giddy.....I have so many emotions going on all at one time. I'm like a kid the night before Christmas EVE!! I'm ready to get today done and go to sleep so tomorrow can be Monday!! There's lots to do the day before surgery so Monday will go by quickly...I hope!! Did I tell you how excited I am?? Lol

Y'all its 7 days until surgery and tomorrow is my prop. I've been sick since Saturday with like a virus including fever. Major stomach pain. So much so I went to the dr yesterday. I'm just praying this doesn't have any affect on surgery. I'm so worried. Anyone experience this right before surgery?
