Veterans....#1 thing you miss / don't miss
Kathy Coop replied to Kindle's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
You only think you miss it. I used to drink a 12 pack of Dr Pepper a day I had a sip of Dr Pepper last year and I spit it out it was disgusting -

Kathy Coop replied to Maggie Journey's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions

How does the weather effect your eating/cooking?
Kathy Coop posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
We have all these storms moving in and I find myself leaning more towards Soups and casseroles which can be very rich and fattening. Since I am a vegetarian (my family is not) and I am a from scratch fanatic (I only buy canned Beans and peas nothing boxed or frozen) I have been making my own recipes. This is today's. It is a white bean and cabbage crockpot Soup with leeks and other goodness Since I will be eating it for a few days I added it to myfitnesspal You could add broth but it would up the sodium I plan on seasoning to taste as I slow cook it over the next 10 hours. I just added Water for now. I add tofu to each bowl for more Proteins. I cut it in chunks and sautatee it. It gets too slimy if you toss it in too soon. -

I still feel huge in mirrors and pictures. I find all my trouble spots and just want to cry. I think that will be my curse till the end of time. I took a photo of my baby the other day and my hand was in it and I just kept staring at how fat my hands look LOL -
Why does people treat you different?
Kathy Coop replied to Daniel Fonseca's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Bitches who would not give me a single glance before want to be my bestie and guys want to bang me. Just remember if you got fat tomorrow they would be gone. They are a fad. Stick with the people who loved you when you were a fatty and make friends with people who love you not your body. It feels great to be wanted. Just take care of who you give your precious time to. You need to surround yourself with people who don't want something from you. It's tough to go from invisible to popular. Some people can't handle it. -
From orientation to my WLS was a whopping 4 weeks. I had really good insurance Blue Cross PPO via my husbands work and they rushed me through my psych evaluation, Endoscopy and general physical. I was on the table like wait... I change my mind lol I was never even asked to diet or loose weight it was nuts. I had to learn as I went and thankfully at the time was on a great site that helped. Now it is a ghost town and that's how you got stuck with me <3

Kathy Coop replied to Kindle's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
when Imwas fat I could be walking around with one of those huge acme weights like in cartoons and no one would even look at me. Now guys come out of no where to help. It freaks me out. How was I "invisible" at nearly 400 pounds and now I am a damsel in distress?? -
How much volume can your pouch hold?
Kathy Coop replied to cocoa8utter's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
3 years out I can take about 5 bites of anything then I get very uncomfortable -
Kinda/ sort of had gastric bypass RNY surgery today......
Kathy Coop replied to parislosesw8's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow. That's crazy. I have an umbilical hernia but Doctor left it. He said it would likely return with all the hanging skin and with that kind of hernia the apron surgery it practically a shoe in with my insurance. So glad they found out and they are taking charge!! -
They are lovely boobs but I want to get to know the real you hehehe
-
Off topic... Why is your profile photo just your boobs... It's terribly distracting lol Ok on topic. I have to assume your hunger is in your head. I am 3 years out and feel none but I also dump. Everyone is different. I think we all think our pouch is too big or too small at some point. I think they are all the same but our minds are different. At that soon out Water made me full and sick so if I felt I was eating just to eat I would drink water and make myself rethink if I REALLY wanted to eat or not.

Who knew right? -
I hate it. I can only eat 5 bites of a chicken breast but a whole bag of popcorn. I purposely never buy it because of that.

200 pounds a REAL look at weight loss (skin galore)
Kathy Coop replied to Kathy Coop's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I have literally done no exercise what so ever. I have either been pregnant or my iron has been so low all I can do is function enough to be a stay at home mom. 2016 is my year of "me" I hope <3 -
When do I stop regretting my Gastric Bypass?
Kathy Coop replied to Veiados's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
