I was (am) a food addict. I had to wait 6 months die to insurance guidelines and during that time I got counciling. I addressed and dealt with all of my issues, learned my triggers, and am successful in my surgery losing 100 pounds so far. It is still hard after surgery. Physically you become disinterested in food but it's all there mentally. You can still eat most foods. In smaller quantities but you can eat more often. My advice is seek counciling and deal with the issues that make you over eat. It will be quite worth it!

Jolly rancher is way to much sugar for a new sleeve. Also if you happen to swallow it the candy would be sharp on your staple line. How about some sugar free Popsicles?

But the weight loss is just one part of being healthy. You aren't as healthy as you can be if you aren't exercising. Your heart, limbs, brain all get healthier with exercise. It's not just about losing the weight. I would recommend atleast walking.

Yeah call doc now! And no more gum until 6 months out!

Please don't let this forum scare you from having surgery! Sometimes we need to whine, cry, vent but I promise 98% of us wouldn't trade it for the world. Do some medical research, don't just come to an opinion forum and get scared off! All the stress is completely worth it at the end of the day. For myself i decided i would rather be scared and do it than heavy and unhealthy and unhappy about my apparence and depressed. It's your decision but please don't base it on just some posts on a forum!

Every single regrowth on my head has been silver. It's BS I'm only 30! But atleast it's growning back!

My nut told me 120 carbs. I know it's lower than 150 but I always thought that was too high. I stay at 70 usually.

I was told oats were a great complex carb. You don't want to cut the good carbs out. Stay away from simple carbs. Fruits oats whole wheats all good. And full of B1 which is important.

I just got there last week so I know how you feel

I was told to wait 2 weeks when I started purees. Some chewies are hard on a new tummy.

Some people says the loss of gherlin in our systems contributes to memory farts. I dunno there seems to be a lot of debate about it. I googled it once and my head got jumbled trying to understand it.

You need 60 minutes a day of good heart pumping cardio 4 days a week to LOSE weight. Then I would add a half hour weight regimen for toning and strength.
