A thread for when Umm Yasmin wants to add marginally relevant comments about stuff



Recommended Posts

Well now I have one of those tickedy-boo things, lads! And to my surprise I've lost 40 kilos since my original Lapband in 2009. Half of that is since my gastric bypass surgery in Oct 18. Actually, maybe I'll reset the ticker just to show my bypass weight loss - it's more meaningful to me these days.

I feel too guilty to start a million threads of random stuff that goes through my head - noone needs that much Umm Yasmin in their lives, so here it will all be in one glorious thread.

Do make one for yourself too, I love reading your posts!

Oh I think I'm all tapped out. I've run the gamut of things I'm going to talk about, I'll just continue to participate in the ones I'm already in. LOL. No new threads.

Here is the trick especially when things come too big/family/value/bulk sized:

Open it over a trash/rubbish bin and pour it out indiscriminately, (stop before nothing's left of course but) and whatever is left in the bag is yours.

Become ruthless on your path to success

Good news is, I'm back on plan today.

I made prawns with a tablespoon of leftover aubergine pesto that was in my fridge. Steamed up some brocoli and Brussels sprouts then when the prawns were nearly done, put the veggies in as well and stirred it all around with the bit of pesto. It was actually pretty tasty. Soz no pics.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
