  1. I increase everywhere. Energy level I last longer. I just simply love it!
  2. You don't feel sick forever.
  3. Your doing it for you 1st then to be a healthier person & have energy for your kids. Idk but I feel when ppl say your doing it for "someone else" it's the wrong reason. Your not going under the knife to please your kids. Your going under for you. Our kids are borrow only until they grow up & leave the house. How long will they be small? Ages new born till 10 then they develop a mind of there own & don't wanna play with mommy. They become teenagers like my 15 year old & they have there own mind set. My kiddos 3 & 4 years old I have energy for them now since 84lbs is gone but I didn't go under the knife for them. I did it only for me. I want to look & feel good. I did something for my son I stop smoking that I did for him since finding out he is autism. I didn't want to dye of cancer & leave him with out a mom.
  4. It's very normal. Even now at 6 months post up I can't eat Chinese food at all. It makes me vomit. I love Chinese but my pouch doesn't plus you know there food is greasy. They have a diet menu but who the heck wanna eat that lmbo. I rather cook my steam fish & can veggies then feel like I'm dying cuz I had Chinese.
  5. I'm gonna answer you:) I was 33 when I had gastric bypass heightest weight 211lbs I had nothing wrong with me. Okay a little asthma but it was cause by being heavy. I haven't used my pump in over 2 years. I did a life change before surgery but wasn't losing weight but kept me off asthma pump. My knee was being affected by all this weight I was carrying. Now I can't tell you after WLS you will be jumping on one foot or you will never have issues or complications why? Things have its own way of happening & god forbid something happens. In life things happen we can't avoid but this is only a small 1% chance of a person being the one who has issues after WLS. My personal experience I had my share of small issues. One month non stop vomiting. When I was three months my stomach closed so tight I had to have a endoscopy to open it up just a little cuz it was causing me to vomit non stop for 1week. Now I'm 6 months post up down 85lbs no issues no complications. No dumping. I can eat almost anything in small portions. I feel great my only issue now is that my tummy is wrinkly which I will get plastic surgery in 2014. I want other things but lets see. WLS is a personal issue and it should be taking with open eyes. Some ppl maybe extremely lucky genetics or age not to ever sag. Each case is different so if your thinking maybe your too young to have WLS you can always get a dietician & lose the weight slowly but with out rush side effects or anything. You do what makes you feel comfortable. No one is going to judge you here. There is one other member who didn't get WLS either. This is not for everyone. You have to be willing to change. It's only a tool to help you lose weight the rest is up to the individual. Good luck & all the best in the decision you make one way or the other.
  6. Welcome to the group! Yes we are your support system here.
  7. Yes it is verbal abuse. I guess he needs to learn to communicate with me more instead of expecting what idk he wants. We are in family therapy but should go back to marriage counseling when we are done in February. Then I should go for solo therapy I been feeling sad might be depress I was so freaken happy. I'm going nuts.
  8. I believe this is true. He keeps saying don't get too skinny. What's too skinny? I'm sure my body will come to the end.
  9. Welcome to the group! Congrats on your surgery
  10. Thinking if what to cook while I was gone.
  11. Congrats you are doing great!
  12. I got it also. I just ignore it didn't bother to reply.
  13. Looks like my plastic surgery is never going to happen... 2014 is around the corner. I'm planning on getting tummy tuck + breast lift if arm lift isn't so expensive I will get all 3 things done. The legs aren't so terrible yet so I guess that can wait. My mom owes me $1000 My husband owes me $2250 I'm basically flat broke now! Starting next month I have to see if I can start saving up again. I want to have $20,000 by May 30, 2014 then give half or w.e. is require and see if I can have the rest in finance where I can pay monthly for a few years. If I can have it all paid off sooner great if not then a little at a time.
  14. No no no water or iced tea
  15. My husband more then once tells me oh "you think your all that cuz your slim now"... Also you have your kids as money. "They are special need & get SSI"... I have complete control of there money I'm there mom,but no one is hungry thirsty with out clothes. He told me last night oh *****(his 33 year old son) mom is fat I rather have a fat woman that cooks then a skinny woman that don't. I didn't cook last last simply cuz I had left over chicken noodle soup. I feel he is happy with the new me but then says things to make me feel bad.
  16. Thanks I will bring it to my surgeon attention if he can prescribe this & if my ins will cover it. I had to put my daughter before me & she has an ear infection. I'm waiting to get a call back from my md to see when I can go back for follow up.
  17. It's your mind playing games with you. You sure cant eat that now.
  18. Welcome to the group. I did it for me & only me. I have more energy for my kids but I'm a happier person & loving the new me.
  19. Stool softener helps with the poop issue. Purée I'm not the best on advice cuz I was on a liquid stage for a long time my surgeon told me to go ahead & eat. I thought I was support to do liquid for a month. Lmbo so that was sorta skip & had to try solid with a little softer food since I was on liquid 3 weeks.
