The Starving Mom replied to The Starving Mom's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Oh I will definitely be on here keeping everyone up to date- I also have a blog so feel free to check in and when I started the process I did the math on how long it would take me to get everything done and DECIDED I without a doubt WILL get my surgery in September and even tho the nurse doubted my ability make it happen- I did it! So dont ever give up it will be hard but it is most definitely worth it!!! There is a light at the end of the tunnel! -

Need help, quick!
The Starving Mom replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have to say I was super happy to see this because I actually gained a little weight and then lost some of what I gained and even with diet and exercise and weight loss meds I lost nothing... Its good to see that even under similar circumstances it DOES work -
Breaking habits before surgery
The Starving Mom replied to Gordita81's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have used crystal light like crazy- I would just recommend staying away from the caffiene versions now since you wont be able to have them later. I also have 4 water bottles- all 32 ounces- that I fill before bed- I have gotten myself in the habit now of drinking them all before bed time the next day- I know I do not need 128 ounces of water a day- HOWEVER my train of thought is that if I trained myself and got into the habit of drinking that much water now then 64 ounces post op will be much easier. Now I drink water like its a bad habit- I also replaced smoking with taking drinks of water lol so double score on that one! -

How is yoga useful in weight loss?
The Starving Mom replied to karthikselvam's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I decided to start yoga in combination with walking/jogging, light cardio, and light weight lifting. Right now and until my surgeon clears me for more strenuous activites after my surgery I will only be doing yoga and walking -

Abdominal binders. Are they worth it?
The Starving Mom replied to 111's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
That's what I am hoping for... I have one compression tank and hope to get a couple more before surgery day... Hope Your Day is Great, *Amber* The Starving Mom starvingmom.wordpress.com “I'm not telling you it's going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.” - Art Williams -
Abdominal binders. Are they worth it?
The Starving Mom replied to 111's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Ah... I was wondering if wearing it would help the skin "bounce back" after weight loss... after my csec I wore mine about 2 months and you could barely tell I had been pregnant aside from a small pooch, and some stretch marks...

Abdominal binders. Are they worth it?
The Starving Mom replied to 111's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yes the one I used was actually the one my daughter got right after her C-Section. It worked wonderfully! Did it help at all with skin?

OK...

I have been looking also, I used a post partum binder after C-section to help with skin and muscles... think it will help after rny also?
