How to forgive someone?
Newme17 replied to My Bariatric Life's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Absolutely! We must die daily to our flesh which includes harboring on hurts, etc. forgiveness is a must! -

Congratulations hon! It'll be here before you know it! How exciting -
Omg my fat friends are worse than my skinny bitch friends...wtf
Newme17 replied to xoxococojay's topic in Rants & Raves
I remember that one too. It was sad to hear. -
So all you mommas, tell me if I'm wrong. I'm equating the preparation of WLS to first time pregnancy. 😂We read, educate ourselves, prepare, and plan. When it actually happens, seems as if reality is a bit different then all of our plans, but we "go with the flow" and all falls in to place anyway. All the preparation is not for nothing though, it gives us a better flow than to not been prepared at all. So, with that said, I know I'll be just fine.

It is similar in the sense people over think it and buy all the crap pushed at them they don't need.

That's what I'm thinking! I bought so much stuff for the first baby and didn't even use most of it. So far, I haven't bought anything for WLS. I'm procrastinating here.

Metabolism levels a year or two after surgery?
Newme17 replied to s2dm's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This is what I will be doing when I hit goal. Not to screw up my metabolism by eating less than what I should be at 5'6" and 145ish. -
I've noticed a difference between whey protein and plant protein....whey makes you extremely thirsty (dry mouth) afterwards. Plant doesn't. Well, at least it's been this of my experiences. I think I'll stick to plant protein for good.

How to stop grazing?
Newme17 replied to avatarkorraa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Could be you're actually thirsty?? Maybe always have water on hand, when you feel like grazing on something, drink water first. -
Yay!!!!!! Mack truck, 😂😂😂😂😂

Nope. No sleep study for me either. I'm glad.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I did that a few weeks ago and boy my knee felt awful afterwards. Lol. But it was good to walk.

Does VSG really need Bariatric vitamins vs. regular chewable?
Newme17 replied to Seraya's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Lol. This made me laugh! 😝 -
Then I think you must be the professional. 😊 You can do this hon. I believe you can and will. I understand about the snacks. I think I gained some of my weight from my kid's snacks over the years. Although I have them on hand, it's easier for me to say no now. You can do this too. But the biggest thing we could do not only for ourselves, but for our little ones,(mine are 7 and 3) is to incorporate healthier snacks for them too. It's a go here but it's slow adjusting. I totally get ya.

We're all here to encourage and cheer you on! Just stay close, keep us updated and ask away! 😊

Are these items readily available to you? It'll be easier to not have them on hand. Unless you're going out to get them. ??? If you cannot control your relationship with food now, how will it be post-op? You've got the rest of your pre-op to prove you are ready. Give the next six days the best of you and make it happen. I would highly encourage you to talk with a professional about it as well.

Hearing stories and seeing pics are motivating and inspiring. But actually seeing someone in the flesh a few months later really puts it in to perspective. I saw an acquaintance tonight at church. Didn't get to talk, but I had to do a double take because I honestly thought she was a different person. Wow! ...and she had a big beaming smile on. 😊 Love it!!!
-
This is very true. My friend had surgery a few years ago. We both went our own ways for a bit (due to work and life). When I saw her a year after I was amazed. She was a new person! I couldn't believe it. She was so happy. I wish I would have not been afraid of the surgery back then. We could have done it together. Now i'm in the process and regret not doing it sooner.

I have them, but like you, don't know either. From what I've read of others with cigna, seems like they're pretty fast actually. So I'm trying not to worry about it myself.

DO GASX STRIPS REALLY HELP GAS PAIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER SURGERY
Newme17 replied to pastbandedsleever's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This makes sense. Gas-X might help with intestinal gas, but it won't help with the gas (carbon dioxide) they use to inflate the abdomen during surgery. Because that gas doesn't get into the stomach or the intestines, Gax-X won't do anything to relieve the shoulder, neck, and back pains -
Is it possible to lose TOO much and be rejected?
Newme17 replied to mareana's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The first weigh in is what they go by or should be going by. I wouldn't worry. @kins117 I'm surprised they submitted your current. Did they say that in the beginning of your program? -
No weight loss, Denied?
Newme17 replied to chynadoll619's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Unless your insurance has something very specific to weight loss/gain, then no. I haven't lost any either. Nor did I gain any weight. So it's all good. Your pre-op diet you'll be sure to lose a lot of water though/ some fat. So I wouldn't worry. 😊 -
