Advice from ex smokers?
GSleeve822 replied to cassandramarie93's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I quit 2 weeks before surgery as my doctor requested (4 mos ago) Scariest thing I've ever done. You'll survive tho. It only takes a few days for nicotine to be out of your body. You can do anything for 3 days. I used toothpicks and lollipops in the car and other times that were hard for me. It actually really helped. I am very glad I quit, but for the first 2 months, I hated life and hated quitting. I wanted to smoke every single day. Just know that it's normal to feel bad and that it will pass. Best of luck to you! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
No faith in myself after honeymoon phase
GSleeve822 replied to tenseintexas's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You're way ahead of yourself. You haven't even lost the weight yet. In order to do that, you have to make changes. Don't worry about a year from now, just put one foot in front of the other and worry about today. You can do it! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
I said I was getting laproscopic surgery for fibroids in uterus as to why I was gone for a week. I've lost 85 lbs so far, and my staff has barely noticed because they see me daily. Other ppl I the company tho, flip out when they see me because it's not as often. I just tell them I am eating healthy, exercising and on a mission to be healthy. I'm a horrible liar too.. I just try and change the subject.. it gets embarrassing with that much attention Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Omg that is terrible. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
It'll probably be gone tomorrow or in a couple days. I wouldn't worry about it Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App I'm at 4 months and my doctors calorie recommendations is 600. I think she's probably fine with calories. Just my opinion. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

My 600 lb life-Penny
GSleeve822 replied to GSleeve822's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Penny is gunna be dead soon. Unfortunately, it seemed to me she had a personality disorder too (the whole zero insight thing). It was weird bc at the beginning of the episode she was able to walk out to the car...then she couldn't even stand. I agree tho, it's sobering to see how u can def get this surgery and have no change in weight loss if you don't change your behaviors! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
Anyone ever see the one with Penny? She's the worst!!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

How to quit sugar ?!?!?!?
GSleeve822 replied to Armygalbonnie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The good news is that your taste buds change after surgery.. well most people. For instance, my wife was the biggest sweet eater and now could care less. I on the other hand, didn't care about sweets before and now I find myself craving sugary things I never liked before Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
Cravings def don't go away with the sleeve, but the hunger and Cravings you're feeling now are very normal for someone with very limited calories. Don't worry, you're doing fine. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Don't do it!! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App If I were in that situation, I'd either get friends to go with to eat the rest of the pie, or give it to a homeless person. That is, if I were sure I could stop with one piece. Yeah, the one piece is fine but taking it home could be deadly! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App Wow. That really sucks.

Why can't you eat a small slice of pizza? I don't plan on indulging daily or even weekly but especially 100 pounds down the line I will plan for small indulgences and adjust my calories accordingly. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App I could eat a small slice of pizza, but unfortunately they only sell the Brooklyn pies (fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, plum tomatoes) as a whole pie. I guess I could buy the whole thing, eat a slice, and then freeze the rest. Hmmm...Don't do it!! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Weight Loss Surgery Success Habits
GSleeve822 replied to My Bariatric Life's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
If you don't eat animal Protein, then substitute the protein of your choice. If you are vegan or vegetarian you are should already be used to this. It didn't say protein, it just kept saying specifically animal protein and animal meat. I don't think specifically saying animal protein for a universal post is helpful to those of us that have read things like the China study. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
I haven't lost any hair, but my wife has (were both women with long hair). I have been taking my Vitamins and Probiotics religiously and she hasn't. Nor sure if it has anything to do with it, but that's what I'm assuming. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I didn't get surgery to eat meat and die of cancer or heart disease. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App -
So rice is def not something you should be having at 3 weeks.. I mean most people are still on some sort of controlled diet during this stage. I would wait a few more months to try rice, as it's one of those things we should try to stay away from. I have sushi but always ask for no rice.. 3 weeks out tho may be too soon for any kind of sushi. Did you check with your surgeon? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I've been at 210 and then 211 and 212 for a week then finally back to 210 today. I was hoping it was just because I'm about to have my period.. now I'm thinking it might be the onderland curse haha.. I guess onderland wouldn't be so great if we didn't have to work for it.. congrats to those that have made it and good luck to those in pursuit! I am turning the 30 next month and I'd like to be somewhere deep in onderland by then! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App
