Hey guys, this site is not the easiest to utilize. Well, Three weeks and I can start Zumba with you guys. Um, Kar said I need to get on here and talk more because I need support. LOL. Well all is good so far. Kinda doing my own diet until Jeannie gives me my blood work results tomorrow. My instruction for this week was to drink unsweet tea or half and half. Can we say yuck. I just quit tea altogether and am drinking tons of Water. I have to say its not bad. I like water. No, pop or anything just water. I cut back on my calories. I am getting a little hungry towards bed.. At work is not to bad because I am busy. Evenings are a little harder that is why I am hopeing to start dance soon and zumba. Three nights a week I will be busy with that. Ok, well let me know if any of you are going to do dance too.

Have you tried Crystal Light? It gives you a little variety. 5 calories per 8 oz. I LOVE tea and was raised on tea with sweat n low so that wasnt too hard for me, now I will admit, every now and then I just need a sweet tea. I have also been drinking a new drink that I have found, I dont know if it is all that new or not it is new to me. It is Low Calorie Snapple Kiwi Pear. only 10 calories for the bottle and 1 gram of sugar, its not too bad.

Well I got my Upper GI, and just as I told them ,nothing was blocked I just have Reflux. We are going to try changing my meds from taking 2 nexium a day to taking 1 Protonix a day. Hopefully that works.

Sorry I didnt make it to line dancing last night. I thought I posted it but I dont see my post....After doing the Upper GI, I thought it would be best to stay home. That Barium does bad things to me, if ya know what I mean. I will definitly keep going to Zumba. Well I better get ready for school, I dont wanna go lol. I was supposed to think of a topic to write a process essay on today and I havent thought of anything yet. oops.

I was reading your post about you thought you had posted it, and I'm like ya I thought I read it, its hiding at the bottom of the previous page, sort of easy to over look.

WB Bek,.....Kar is good at motivating LOL she got me so excited about Zumba I was thinking Parkersbusg was off I-79 and was planning on coming this Monday on our way back from Mo Town. Unfortunately, now that I've looked at a map its pretty doubtful. Hopefully I'll get up there sometome.

That's disappointing!! :) I was really looking forward to it. Hopefully I will make the following Monday. I'm flying back in from Arizona that day. If my plane's on time, I'll be there.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
