Losing dedication for surgery.
Walter.Sobchak replied to olympia25's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I almost backed out at the last minute. I was too scared to change my eating habits and lifestyle. Life is going to be hard post sleeve trust me on that. I am a food addict and am emotional eater and this has been very hard. I was sleeved 7 weeks ago. -
Are your pants getting longer?
Walter.Sobchak replied to Marblicious's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not yet. I am trying to hold off on new clothes. A couple years ago I gave away a bunch of big and tall clothes that didn't fit anymore. I was convinced I would be fat the rest of my life. -
Hardly eating
Walter.Sobchak replied to Drzthickness85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having a hard day today as well. My depression has flared up and all I want to do is eat and I can't. Like you said, I know this surgery is for the best and had to be done but I miss food. -

My wife told me my clothes are too big and it looks ridiculous. I asked how ridiculous, she said I look like a little kid trying to wear my dads clothes. -
I am wondering if the lap band will ever be phased out? I read so many stories of people not having long term success with it. My wife has a friend that lost a ton of weight with it but has now put it all back on and then some.

I Want To See Before & After Pics! (Cont'd)

How much are you down in those 4 months? -
Just ate a lot - scared
Walter.Sobchak replied to KaiserKid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep, I was taking in about 8000 calories per day. I was literally eating myself to death. -
One month Post-Op...only 6lbs lost!
Walter.Sobchak replied to amandaaok's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
What was your bmi? A lower bmi will result in slower weight loss. Also, you could be losing inches but not showing it on the scale. Did you measure yourself before hand? What about before and after pics? How are your clothes fitting? -
Awesome, now who can I find to install it?

I want my huge stomach back. How can this be accomplished? Cadaver? Fake stomach made of silicon and plastic?
-
My surgeon's partner did mine. He didn't do a count down or anything he just yanked it out. Felt very weird.
-
I used a butterfly stitch on mine as well. It closed up pretty quickly. The drain pull itself was pretty gross.
-
Yep. I have posted about this many times. I was not mentally prepared for how difficult it would be post surgery.

I have a CRAZY question
Walter.Sobchak replied to CrissCriss's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah, just trying to be funny. I would have liked to have seen pictures of it. My surgeon told my wife that my stomach was huge. I believe it, I could easily eat a large pizza in one sitting with no issues. -
I have a CRAZY question
Walter.Sobchak replied to CrissCriss's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I kept mine and then ate it once I was able to eat soft foods, kinda weird I know. I felt as though I had to, as a rite of passage. -
I feel like I can eat too much
Walter.Sobchak replied to PepperCat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can easily eat two eggs at 6 weeks out. I don't understand why I can eat so much more. I am 6 foot 1 My doctor said my preop stomach was huge. He had to do a lot of cutting. -
I am six weeks out and mine healed up just fine. I had no issues with it.

Just ate a lot - scared
Walter.Sobchak replied to KaiserKid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am ashamed to admit, before surgery I could eat 8 McDonald's sandwiches. I could do 4 hot and spicy mcchicken and 4 mcdoubles. Hence why I was 430 pounds. -

Walter.Sobchak replied to KaiserKid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon said you would have to repeatedly overeat to stretch your pouch. One time shouldn't be a big deal. -
(Almost)6 months out 86lbs down (progress pics)
Walter.Sobchak replied to lf1227's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Pretty awesome. Keep it up. -
Dude, bread sits so heavy in your pouch. I have made the mistake of eating it and it hurts so bad.
-
Wait, can that be right? Did I really just . . . Need your opinions male & female
Walter.Sobchak replied to YeaMe's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I think you should tell him. I personally would want to know. If he is such a great guy it won't scare him off. -
Hello, My surgery went well. I was home around 4 yesterday and spent most of the night in bed. Just got up to take my vitals and walk. I am at the doctor's office right now to get my drain pulled. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Another Update. I am six weeks out. I am down 37 pounds since surgery. Including pre op diet I am down 55 pounds. I was using my Hydro flask and using the straw and I honestly think it was making me hungry by putting air in my stomach. I ditched the straw and I swear I am not as hungry.

I am not buying into that I asked my doctor and he said there is scientific data to support.
