Another NSV for me! Wearing a dress!
debbo1959 replied to FayBee's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Hey,I finally lost 50lb,but I'm at a stand still & it's driving me crazy,I know this is something that happens to everyone so I will be patient! How much more have you lost. I live in Texas,but I'm from W.V. we're going home for Thanksgiving, I'd love to have another 20lbs before we head home. What sucks is I gained weight once we moved here,I think I was just so lonely missing my daughter & grandchildren. My boyfriend was working all the time,so if they would see me now,They would say your the same size!!! Lol. Sent from my SM-T560NU using the BariatricPal App -
CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS
debbo1959 replied to Tresa Embil's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery 7/6,I can eat about everything,well I haven't tried red meat yet! But beside that,my problem is slowing down!!! A couple of times,I ate a little to much,I'm learning trust me. I was so sick at my stomach I actually had to lay down,so about 20 minutes later I was fine. So for anyone that feels full................STOP,DON'T TAKE THAT LAST BITE!!!!!!lol. Do you all know your brain doesn't let you know your full until 20 minutes after your already full???? Weird,huh??? A little trivia there. Have a great day!

CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS
debbo1959 replied to Tresa Embil's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my sleeve 7/6,I'm down 43lbs,I'm still have 65 more I'm wanting to lose. I'm at a stand still to,I'm haven't lost any weight for like 3weeks,but I'm noticing on here,it seems like the norm. So I'm going to hang in there,it will come off!!! Good luck to each & everyone of you! People think you go have surgery & BAM,the weight falls off!!!!Wrong,you have to change your eating habits,the way you eat,how much you eat. The surgery is a tool to helps us get the weight off! Most people don't understand that,not that I care what people think!!!!!! Again, good luck!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!☺ Sent from my SM-T560NU using the BariatricPal App -

Why some & not others?
debbo1959 replied to Ebony Rose's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dr. told me the pre -op diet was to help the liver shrink so they can get to your stomach easier. The stomach is behind the liver,the take like a "metal Straw"& lift the liver up. Why I know this may dr. gave me the pictures of my surgery. I couldn't believe how huge my stomach was,he cut alot off!!!! It was interesting to see!!!!

Trouble Swallowing
debbo1959 replied to Sassy-Anne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomorrow will be a month & I eat slices of cheese,of course I eat small pieces & make sure I chew them up really good. Do you guys think it's too soon for solid food like that? I feel comfortable eating cheese. I even had a tuna salad sandwich one day,it was cut into 4 small pieces& again, I chewed it up very good.It took me a while to eat it,but it was so tasty!!!!!
