LET'S TACKLE FALL CHALLENGE
dreamingsmall replied to Dashofpixiedust8's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I can not imagine 200+ lbs being any womens set point unless your super tall if I am honest even if you started super obese, dont think things like that or you will just give up , I bet you have come a long way so keep going , how long have you been in a stall? whats your eating like? are you hitting water goals? you go this -
LET'S TACKLE FALL CHALLENGE
dreamingsmall replied to Dashofpixiedust8's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Second time still in hospital on iv fluids 2 bags. And on iv pain killers. And iv treatment. So I don't feel my weight represents what it is . but better say it so I'm still in the game if its wrong I'll know when all this is out my system. Disappointed as I would be way ahead in weight lose if I wasn't full of iv fluids and things. 213 -

Lets rewind, your weightgain is caused by stress - being re sleeved does not remove stress. getting older- you will continue aging despite resleeving your lack of time to be active wont change because your resleeved, being resleeved will give you a change to keep it right? keep what right when youve gained 61lbs from never overeating? Unless you have other health issues, you don't gain 61lbs from air and just from what you mentioned ALONE. In combination sure. But have a visit to your doctor and do further investigation if that is the truth. You said you dont eat, so.. the sleeve will.. make you not eat more? its a confusing one, goodluck i think when some one is ready to be honest it makes the world of good All the best.

If you do not eat why do you need to be resleeved?
-
You gained 61lbs and you don't eat? This part I may need you to break this bit down? Are you just drinking milkshakes?
-
I am glad your being honest often when people say what I said they are meat with a rude response, atleast you know what your trying to do but we all know this is not a quick fix you still have your tool
-
You responded to Drop, but didn't say anything about this part. ..
-
So you have already gone straight to discussing being resleeved instead of getting couselling to found out what happened to put you in a position that has you needing to be resleeved? no judgment just trying to figure out the thinking, get re sleeved what will stop you doing the exact same thing again without solving what caused you to do it? I cant see you geting a total gastrectomy to resolve the problem.. What are you eating at the moment daily including calories? You have obvc done well and can do so again if you get your focus back instead of looking for another surgery as a way out. There is no way out , our minds can always win no matter how many surgerys we have if we are not in the right place, youve done amazing you can do amazing again but believe in yourself not another surgery to fix this.

Any other sleeved Jews have a much easier fast on Yom Kippur?
dreamingsmall replied to GotProlactinoma's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That is okay your higher power what ever you believe in will know you are wanting to keep your safe in a safe place which is what they will want, they do not want you to join them to soon, so good you listened to your body you will be able to soon. -
I dont know anything about the effect on weightloss but my team says all the gummys i sent them to check if it has enough of everything i need said no, not enough of what i need it in so unnecessary carbs yet doesnt do the trick, i know other people take gummies but i gues we are more strict in the hosp team i am under. I am allowed centrums chewable vits at a minimum if i insist on a sweet one.

How to get enough calories?
dreamingsmall replied to faithlove's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My surgeon okayd me for normal food on week 5 even though the traditional plan is soft till week 6 so your right all plans vary -
See your dr anyway about the period issue common or not.

When do you stop losing?
dreamingsmall replied to mustanglauri's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I only giggled because you seemed so direct and obvious, your right lol but sometimes stalls happen for no reason and then suddenly start things up again with not much change lol but think we need more info from the op on her eating habits if anything has changed her weight to start and now etc. -
1000 calories per day...HOW?????
dreamingsmall replied to Walter.Sobchak's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
'Pouch' reset is for bypass patients we have a sleeve. It's not needed to get Back on track but some people have developed really bad eating habit so the detox from food to start a fresh may help them mentally but there is certainly no need for everyone to do it. Focusing on protein first can get anyone in track and sticking to non starchy veg and protein sometimes I eat my proteins alone. Non starchy a few hours later for an extra boost and feeling Fuller for longer -
1000 calories per day...HOW?????
dreamingsmall replied to Walter.Sobchak's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If someone is eating carbs heavy and bad food ( not this persons husband generally) then going back to protein first and non starchy veg and measure food. I've heard people 5 years out still teel restriction with protein. -
There is not much I can eat. I'm finding myself hungry but cant stomach anything here I'll just have a few bites of the spinach goo and I often ask them to bring me the tiny blocks of cheese. I usually have the rice and curry and just eat the curry sauce but gets boring. 2 bites for each meal no wonder I've got not energy. I'm three months in. Nothing is appealing to me.

i asked about that they dont have a fridge in the day room anyway lol i am in the ghetoest part of the hospital if that is a word, but they said they dont want me to eat food from outside something about contamination? they said they dont want me to end up getting something from food from outside that is not monitered or something what they said didnt even make any sense. because a lady brought me stuff from the ward i was on before so i dont see how thats not contamination? i coulnt eat it anyway , my guest who visit me have to wear gloves as they dont want me to catch anything to make me more unwell as they are trying to get me fit for this chonolocopy and other stuff. i can tell you if anyone came in here fat they wont even need surgery haha you wil leave here skinny because i have tried to order different things on the menue it sometimes looks like vomit. i sneaked of the ward when i wasnt so bad about 3 days ago but the head nurse brought me back as they saw me on cctv lol i cant even get outside for fresh air lol its like prison i tell you i look forward to the most grossest runniest scrambled egg in the morning as i cant eat toast which is what they usually offer so i should be greatful lol thank you so much for the suggestion though its a good one as i know other people not in side rooms are allowed all kinds of nice food to be brought in! lucky people lol -
