It's so frustrating when people who have no clue what so ever try to give you advise and end up trying to persuade you not to do it or they try to crush your hopes and dreams. No one understands except in here.

Human nature is a funny thing. Focus on the work you need to do to eat healthier and exercise. When people see the results you can decide what to share. People know I am working hard to eat healthier. I don't mention my lap band because it is only one tool. Counting calories, low carb, high  Protein, turning down dessert. Those things they see me doing.

Lap-banded and love it!

You know what? I don't tell people because most of them have some sort of advice that they want to give me. I used to tell people, but know I just say thanks and if they ask how I tell them I watch what I eat (which is true).

Only one person gave me a negitive comment and that was, "Can't you just diet" :angry:

I know it was because she was scared for me having the surgery and she has been supportive ever since but Geeze Louise.

Like I hadn't been yo yo dieting for the previous 30 years.

People may understand about WLS on here but you'll notice that there might be a lot of unsolicited advice on here as well. ;)

I exercise a lot. I walk 3 miles 5 days a week. I go to the gym & lift weights 3 days a week. I gave up Fast food, Sodas, Fried Foods, Sugar, Alcohol, bread & Pasta. Drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast. Eat 3 small meals 3 hours apart. They average 300 calories each. I have 2 or 3 Snacks a day. Protein is mainly grilled chicken or fish with veggies. I'm now used to eating this way. Everybody is different but this is what worked for me. Ive lost 180 lbs in 2 yrs. Got 20 more to go. Good Luck to you. Hope you figure it out.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
