Mr Alley Gator replied to Lilypop's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Stuff Happens - You know what to do! Get back on a healthy lifestyle and so you OOOPSED you figured you need to get back. So put on your big girl undies and lets get er done! YOU GOT THIS Btw I have seen many here fall off the good road and get back on it and get back to healthy you are not alone it is common. I am coming up to that dreaded two year mark and i guess its common to mess up around that timeline so I most likely will screw up to.

Waiting on a date and social media thoughts
Mr Alley Gator replied to ajb1029's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I highly suggest you wait you are going to go thru a lifestyle change and one of the bumps are head games. The last thing you need during this journey is bullshit and feedback from Social media. This is you time do not let others ruin it for you. Down the road you may be ready but it is a journey and i see nothing in social media that can help you on this journey, all I see is trolls and idiots messing with you -
How much are you eating a year out?
Mr Alley Gator replied to Lilypop's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I pretty much eat anything - But I do not really sit down and eat a meal I snack and pick through out the day. I am actually trying to gain a little weight but can not sit and eat a whole meal just to hard to do -
Should I still have surgery?!
Mr Alley Gator replied to lynnh's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nobody here can answer you on this? 1. Have you tried to loss weight and failed? 2. Does your eating habits are unhealthy? 3. Do you think you can stay on a healthy diet for life? -

Mr Alley Gator replied to Christo711's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Just took it strange but same as you lost 177 Frorm june 2019 to dec 2019 still holding it off no problem -
Gulf Coast Bariatrics Very good surgeon - No i do not miss food because i still eat all the time - Just smaller amounts - For example for lunch had 4 CocoNut Shrimp and coleslaw. Before would have eaten 25 and fries and coleslaw Its the food that is killing you -

Not 3 years but as a Fellow Floridian wanted to help you Lost 177 in 8 months Complications: Really none a little heart burn and i get crabby at times when i can not drink Cravings - White Russians and I now eat what i crave but I eat differently, One thing you will realize is your taste buds will change and your tastes will change a little But you are on the right place for information

Healthier, But Lonelier
Mr Alley Gator replied to kc892020's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Let me start by saying I have seen this a ton on here, People are mean by nature Not all but some. People are jealous and tend to talk out there ass. You have changed your life for the better that is what is key! Stay clear of the toxic people and enviroments, They killed this above so not going to harp on it, one thing i found was doing new things allowed me to meet new people. For example I joined a MC club and new nobody i never mentioned I had surgery and at huge cook outs i would just pick saying not really hungry. Met new friends and a few of them know now what i did but really do not judge People Suck at times so just become Ice b***h and do not let it bother you, who cares what others think or say. You got this -

Will I like the new me & the new life?
Mr Alley Gator replied to KJ6262's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Above killed it BUT WAIT there is more ..... I also BBQ and compete in many cooking compititons both BBQ and other. I also love a good drink and cheese? So where in the Sleeve Manual does it say you cant have a piece of cheese, Yes it says Not a block of cheese! Where does it say you cant still cook? It doesn't In fact I love cooking now even more! I actually just tried out for GGG - Guys Grocery Games Tv Show. Just waiting for Covid to end so they can set a date. Oh yea i had my Vodka drink last Saturday all was good What I am trying to say is they are giving you a tool - Not taking your life away. -
Giving Blood
Mr Alley Gator replied to Sassafras1's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I would say Wait a few years get your body balanced out with all you Vitamins and Minerals - I did give last week in a covid Anti Body thing was fine, but Got really Tired quickly One thing for sure its easier to find the veins now that they are not swallowed in FAT -

Husband is supportive but also not
Mr Alley Gator replied to cellbell's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Above says it all - I just said one day lets get thin - Called a Doc in my area set up a appointment - Pulled out a ton of cash - and 8 days later I was sleeved. Was this the best approach probably not but i new if i did not get this done i would be dead soon. I looked around at my kids and my life and said you are a lazy overweight unhealthy male who already did a Trip thru a cardiac ward. You have no choice So I did it. You husbands concern is really something special you guys have, but it is a very safe surgery and not a lot of down time. I was in at 9 am and out at 10 am the next day. Back to work the same day. You have to really look at the pro's and Cons - If you have tried every diet and fad out there and it doesnt work maybe this will be the tool to help you? But one thing i did not realize its a whole lifestyle change. The days of slamming down subs and wings and pizza are over. You will be limited on quantity and keep hydrated and nutrition are a F@#ckin project for me on a daily basis. So would i do it again if I had the chance? 100% YES - beats being in a URN -
No Just order online much cheaper
