  1. As a sleeved patient especially post op you should already know the struggles on both sides of fence. I think it's disgusting for a former obese person to criticize another obese person because you were once in their shoes so you should at least understand more than anyone else their pain and suffering. Instead I looking down on them like the world looked down on you, why don't you try to do the opposite and help them the way you helped yourself when no helped you? Why don't you try to enlighten them. I'm not saying do the work for them, I'm saying give them the blueprint to follow. As an obese person it's hard enough trying to maneuver around the insults and feelings of insecurity, no pun intended. So why would you make another person go through the same **** you are desperately trying to change in your own life? Why being them down to a place where you once felt the most vulnerable? How can you look at your fellow obese comrade or friend and judge them so easily and disgustingly? My question is do you hate yourself THAT much that you have to portray your faults on to others to make yourself feel better? If that's the case you will need more than this surgery to accomplish ya goals becaus this sounds more psychological then physical. I dont know about you all but I've neer been a negative person during my obese or slim stage. I've always remained position and kept my head in the game at all times and that helped me push myself further. In the process it ave me the strength to assist other going through what I went through. I'm a strong believer in karma becaus I'm a stronger advocate for support .
  2. 30 before and after because after 30 minutes the food moves into your intestines crest space for liquids again
  3. Easiest way to break the habit is to eat and drink at the same time till ya stomach hurts. Now you have a deterrent NOT to ever do it again cause u kno of the suffering that comes with it. Learning the hard way is usually the most efficient way to break habits but least chosen.
  4. Your stomach will ONLY stretch if youre drinking nothing BUT carbonated beverages. This recipe like all recipes should be taken in moderation like everything in life. This post if for those who have a sweet tooth and want something healthy instead of drinking a coke or sprite.
  5. I really dont like to share my private recipes online, but im going to help all of you soda craving post op and pre op sleevers cut down on your liquid calories while increasing your Water intake at the very same time. All you need is 5 things A bottle of water A cup A single serving packet of Crystal light (choose your fav flavor) Ice cubes Flavorless Sparkling water or club soda Now all you have to do is pour about 25-30% of the water into a cup and mix it well Then add in the ice cubes, dont forget to stir, so the ice melt a little, we dont want the drink to be TOO sweet. Pop open a sparkling water or club soda and pour it in the cup until it fills 75% of the come and enjoy. *P.S.: you dont have to use crystl light you can use any powdered drink as long as it low in calories* I'll post some pictures later to show you all. Till then ENJOY!!! pour the
  6. No not really doctor made sure I used the bathroom before I was under. Plus after you wake up you never pee right away it takes awhile because the anesthesia puts everything to sleep. That's why right after my surgery an hr later my dr had me walking around to wake up my lower section and to stimulate active blood flow throughout the body
  7. I didn't have a catheter because my dr is the kind of dr that made me walk around right after surgery to get the lower pipes in gear again lol
  8. it definitely will get better i can assure you that. once the swelling of the stomach decreases you will start eating normally. jus bare with the healing process. u was in your shoes so i kno.
  9. If your going to cheat just pick a healthier option. Don't eat what the kids eat because they are at a different nutritional level than you are. Have a piece of fruit, Protein bar (low calorie/carbs/sugar) or drink Water to kill cravings. I personally eat 5 meals a day because they are small portions. No sweets, junks, and lil to no carbs at all... Water is all I drink most of the day besides a lil tea from Starbucks
  10. Overrating constantly is the ONLY way to stretch ya stomach after the surgery. This will be very discomforting in the beginning tho. I don't advise it.
  11. Extremely bad... Very counter-productive to weight-loss
  12. You are prolly dehydrated. Most time we confuse thirst for hunger. Up your water intake then tell me how u feel
  13. Worry about losing the weight first. Baby steps. Leave that thought when you're ready for it
  14. Baby oil... They slide right off
  15. Congrats! It only gets better!
  16. The shot does NOT have to be in the stomach. It can be anywhere on the body as long as that portion of the body is meaty. Arm, leg or butt. I personally take it in the arm. Be careful tho not to rub it or it will turn into a lump. After you inject just wipe the area with the alcohol pad lightly. Don't rub, squeeze or press down on it. I REPEAT "Don't rub, squeeze or press down on it." those lumps will remain there for about few days to a week and they are bothersome. Gluck
