Why Should You Have Weight Loss Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Why should you have weight loss surgery? So let me ask you if what you are doing now has permitted you to lose your weight and keep it off. I am predicting if you are readying this that you are thinking about having weight loss surgery, and YOU keep saying to yourself that you should be able to lose the weight YOURSELF! If that were true you would have lost the weight by now and KEPT if off. So many of us would lose the weight but always put it back on in a few months. That is because you ONLY improved your eating style and eating habits for a short time, and then went right back to doing what you have always done—eating poorly, and your easting is being driven emotional things going with you. I can see you sitting there shaking your head, and thinking how does she I know what I am are thinking and have been doing? I can do this because I used to be just like you up until Oct 2008. Then I made the choice to have a VSG weight loss surgery also known as a “sleeve” It was the best thing I have EVER done for myself. I had Dr. Aceves from Mexicali do my sleeve and of course I am very prejudice because I feel he is the very best you can find to do your surgery. And when it came to my health I wanted the best I could find. But please do a lot of research and check him out for yourself. You will find that ALL his patients feel the very same way I do. It took me 14 months to lose 105 pounds and I have kept them off.

Please STOP slowly killing yourself with this thing we call a “fork”, and shoveling in food like you are never going to get enough of it. I used to one of you who did this too. I was fat and it I was killing myself with food and a fork. You DO have a choice—you are the ONLY person in control of YOU.

WLS (weight loss surgery) is ONLY a tool, you do have to put a lot of determination and work into learning to eat healthy and I recommend exercise too. I was the person who HATED to exercise. I now walk 7 days a week and average 3 miles a day for a total of 21 to 25 miles per week. You do not have to do this much. When I first started I walked 3 days a week and I walked about 2 miles each day I walked. Most of the people who exercise find what they love and do that.

I am always here to help you, answer ANY of your questions and I will be very honest with you about this. There are NO dumb questions, so ask away. PLEASE love and care for yourself enough to put yourself FIRST and do something about being fat, obese, overweight, fluffy, or whatever you chose to call it. But, you do deserve and have a right to be healthy and happy and at the right weight. This is your answer—I promise you. I was sure that I would be the “first person” that this was NOT going to work, on if I had weight loss surgery. We have ALL thought that, so I am telling you ahead of time, you won’t the 1st or last person to think it will not work for you because you have failed at everything else you have tired. Read about all the people that this DOES work for. This is YOUR ANSWER!

Hugs,

Suzanne

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
