My Sleeve Is Saving Me

[SexySlim 107]

So I'm almost three weeks post-op. I'm in my hometown to visit my dad for the week. He has stage 4 cancer. We had to get him an ambulance to come to the house last night to get him to the ER. He is now in icu. Pre-sleeve me would be stuffing my face with all the food available at all of these restaurants in a 1 mile radius. I'm enjoying some KFC mashed potatoes instead. No more emotional eating for me thanks to my new sleeve.

hi sexyslim

its great when you can bypass a fast food restaurant, or just some junk food in a mall, and candy, pretzals, doughnuts (msp).... oh no, starting to drool we have to pass these things, sometimes daily, it is still difficult for me at times, but i don't give into my head hunger, nor do you as i can see.

good for you about KFC and mashed potatoes!

keep up the great work - we should all root for each other

Woo Hoo

best

That is amazing that you have gotten past the emotional side of food. That is such a hurdle to get past. That is something for you to be so proud of. A definite NSV!! My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

that Dad has stage 4 cancer. This is going to be am emotional roller coaster for you and your family and will pull at you in all different directions. Take 1 day at a time and pre pack your meals if you can. Glad to hear your not tempted by the junk food places. I'm lucky I worked through that a couple years back.

Prayers to you and your family, I lost my father 9 mths ago. He was one of my reasons for this life changing surgery.

I have found that kfc has really good grilled chicken too. Keep up the positive ways.

My father passed yesterday evening. We all knew it was time and he was tired of fighting. He suffered a great deal. It's funny I used to be a stress eater. Now no appetite at all. I will try to get as much Protein as I can. And Water.

My dad was so happy to hear I decides to get surgery. He knew that I have struggled with this battle all of my life. I just wish he was around to see when I get to goal. I know he would be so happy for me.

Slim, Your dad will still see you get to goal. He'll just be on the other side of the veil from you. I'm sorry to hear that he passed, but I'm happy that he is no longer in pain. You now have a guardian angel in heaven looking over you. (((Hugs)))

Sexyslim ~ I am so sorry for your loss. I know that your Dad is very proud of you and is with you everyday. It is a blessing that he is no longer in pain and his spirit has been released from his shell. May God bless you and remember, he is so PROUD of you!
