What factors dictate "fast" and "slow" losers?



Recommended Posts

problem is Portion Control and emotional binge eating.

Jessica

i think thats why most of us had the sleeve (portion control, binging :angry: )

the sleeve will "assist" you in loosing the weight

but it won't/doesn't work on its own

once you are sleeved, on solids - you will feel the "restriction" that the sleeve gives you

that will help your portion problem - you are supposed to measure food - and ONLY eat that amount

as far as your binge eating - get a grip :lol:

don't know what else to say - we all have to deal with that in our own way

this is not a magic surgery :(

you must follow all the "rules" with Water, Protein, eating slowly et al for the rest of your longer, healthier, happier life

you are pre-op - try and practice some of those important Water rules now

drinking 64 oz water, not drinking with food/meals - waiting up to 1 hour after you eat before you drink again

these are just some of the essential new rules you must follow :)

getting an early start prior to surgery.....

what do you have to loose?? :lol:

good luck

take care :)

Thanks. I've actually seemed therapy for my eating habits, and I'm quite ready for this surgery. I'm ready for the change, I'm ready to not be a prisoner to food anymore. I want to be healthy for my kids and myself. This is a tool that's I'm ready to rock!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
