The Beginning of my Journey
New&Improved replied to Aodhanmom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It all depends on what they ask you to lose of course some just say 6 month weigh in Just don't put on weight. Others might ask for a goal for you before surgery. If you can lose something before surgery that will only help you in the long term... -
Do you remember your daily calories and protein for the first 6 months? Did it vary?

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty anyone?
New&Improved replied to Dr-Patient's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Might be good for those only looking to lose less than 100lbs that way you're not putting your body through a major surgery -
Wowsers you deserve a medal for your victory.

Sounds like you really need to take advantage of psychological help to deal with the triggers and emotional issues that result in food addiction. I would not bother with surgery until you are ready and prepared. It is a lot of pain to go through if you're not fully committed. You need to be ready to change everything you've been taught and start a whole new way of life.

Compression Tights and Loose Skin

Sounds like SPANX and similar stuff you can put under your clothes give the look of lifted and tighten. There's no magic to it. -

New&Improved replied to rglad1267's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Yea totally agree elcee they are both major surgeries! And NO the surgeon will not operate unless it is safe to do so. So they will not do a surgery that will cause further harm. They have the duty of care!! -
Looks like I’m not getting RNY
New&Improved replied to pssk's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

New&Improved replied to Gypsygirl44's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Look closely at your intake everyday -
Yeah that's weird I say keep it liquids for a couple weeks give your stomach pouch time to heal and adjust

Yea i think it's hard for obese people to see others change their lives around because their reality and mortality is in their face EVERYTIME they see you lose weight as they continue to eat bad and gain weight. I know now even at the start of my journey some of my obese friends act as if they are happy to hear my progress but they quickly change subjects lol Don't stress too much about it

For the men who had 100lbs + to lose i need help!!!
New&Improved replied to New&Improved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's great. I've already lost 40lbs preop and only got 100lbs to go and I'm only 35 but been pretty sedentary for a while which I know I'll have to change and start with a gym regime soon. My arms have a little loose skin. maybe over time as I lose more it might retract. (Let's hope)
