    aviiva got a reaction from minnie20 in Is Keeping The Secret Possible?   
    I chose to tell very few people 3 friends at work know but on the other hand I am a therapist and some of my clients are very obese and asked me how I am losing weight I did share with them in the hope of helping this was personal decision and I do not feel bad about not wanting to shout it from the rooftops. We are all entitled to live our lives the way we choose. No one has the right to judge another what is the saying about living in glass houses

    aviiva got a reaction from Kat1 in Who To Tell And Not Tell....   
    I did not tell many people until after I did not even tell my mother until after. At work only 3 people know my best friend had hers in july and she had been my biggest support we also work together. Thankfully the people I have told have been supportive. My mother was the most negative she could not understand why I did it since according to her I did not need to lose much weight but at 75 she is always in a diet and does zumba she is thin. My brother told me.I will be back to my birth weight he had been great even had an argument with my mother defending me. So far so good I was sleeved on 4/4 and have not had any complications since day one. Positive mindset plays a big part in this journey

    aviiva got a reaction from SashaWLS in Im Having A Hard Time Adjusting.   
    It is like when a drug addict is in recovery and all the feelings they avoided with drugs come flooding out when no longer using. I think it had been easier for me because I am a therapist and most of my friends are so I have a great support system I have been thinking of seeing people who have either hadwls or considering it my dr thinks it is a great idea since most therapists have not gone through this it is important to find another healthy coping technique alot of time people trade one addiction for another

    My friend gave me a 30% off coupon to GNC & I thought I would go use it today because I leave for surgery Monday morning.
    I know you guys say not to stock up because tastes change, but if you were me, what do you think I should get?
    I'm thinking powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Isopure & Protein Shots?

    I know from reading about other people's journey this is common. I got on the scale today and was up 1 pound. I am not freaking out since I know I have been doing everything I am supposed to do. I have no problem getting in my Protein mostly through shakes and Water. I started eating mushy foods on Friday, not alot and mostly protein. So I guess this is normal right?. I am logging everything on my fitness pal. I have decided not to weigh myself everyday but 1x a week now. Please tell me this is normal. I was sleeved on 4/4 and have lost 20lb, well 19 now. Thanks

    I went for my first 2 week post op and list 20lb and feeling great. I can start mushy foods today. he said to watch calories more then anything and to eat Protein first. he agreed that the south beach diet is probably the best to follow. he said about 1000 1200 calorie a day and 60 to 80 grams of protein that that sound right. he also said 4oz of protein per meal. he used a 34 bogie us that considered average
