So you stay on day 5? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Well technically we should all be on day 5 for the rest of our lives. Solid Proteins some low carb fruits and veggies. Although life tends to happen and we sometimes stray, these are our new tummy's policy. Or so I've been told Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

To be completely honest it was my 3rd try going through all the hoops of getting the sleeve covered through insurance and he was close to the last step. I didn't want to jeopardize that, I bit my tongue and ran outta there as fast as I could!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery was August 27,2015 The weight loss definitely helps with motivation, it's up to you to fight old habits! That means everything from emotional eating to vegging out and not working out because the weight DOES come back on. Surgery is not a permanent fix, it's a push in the right direction. Every minute of every day is a struggle to choose the right foods, my teen just brought home a box of donuts (my favorite things in the whole wide world) and guess what? It's taking everything I got to not walk in the kitchen and grab one. Choices my friend, that's ultimately what life is about. We've made the wrong ones far too long, it's time to love ourselves enough to start making the right ones!! F you donut!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's amazing!!! First 2 days suck but after that, food is really a second thought. It's like a food detox!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I too was in denial about my size and to top it off, I was legitimately healthy, not even high cholesterol!! I've lost 150lbs since surgery, and was told yesterday by my own mother, the light has returned. She says I looked so sad before and never really smiled. Guess what? She's right! I internally knew how big I was, I just wasn't ready to do anything about it so I denied seeing myself for what I truly was... a morbidly obese woman who was sad, sad about how my life was going. Tired of being overlooked because I was big. You're ready my friend, good luck with finding you, it's a hell of a journey and oh so worth it!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
