I'm sorry but I think your mistaken. Just yesterday I was at a restaurant and had to use the bathroom so I went into a stall..... I'm not crazy there was a stall... Or was there?!

ok Im on my phone so can't see your before pictures but looking at your profile picture you look far from sick let me tell you. your gorgeous obviously your friend is sick i believe jealousy is a sickness x x

Uncooked Beans.< /p>
5 chicken breast
Onion
Green pepper
Stewed tomatoes
Chilli seasoning packet
Spices.
In crockpot over night
Yummmmmmmmmy!!

I just don't understand why some people are so stuck on the actions of others. If I decide to eat a small fries from McDonald's right now and then post, nothing you say will remove those fries from my stomach. Telling me I'm a screw up, that I might die, that I have hidden motives, that I wasn't ready for surgery, etc won't change the fact that the fries are sitting in my sleeve. It won't change the fact that I have a sleeve and that I made a poor choice. Encouraging me to make better choices in the future would help.
And if something happened to me, the "blood" would be on my own hands as my hands fed me the fries. Not anyone else's.

Wait till you get to Sarcasm Specialist.

I was sleeved on November 19 and I am at 30 pounds lost for good!

ah Im delighted for you x

If it's cold outside, why not try the mall? Lots to look at to distract yourself, it's open long hours so you can go when you want (especially this time of year!), it's well-lit, it's warm and there are lots of places to stop and rest.

Well hey hey... you are capable of standing up for yourself. Now try some of that with your parents... it's your life... and if/when you do go through with the surgery... you'll love life more with every passing day...

If you make the decision to leave, make sure your personal items are safe before you give a clue. Important papers, jewelry, keepsakes, bank account, etc are all things to lock down. You may think you know how things will go, but once the other person realizes it is really over, you have no idea how they will react. From experience, I can tell you that it does not always play out theway you have imagined it in your head.
All the best.

Hello everyone!

P.S- I am not writing this topic to be mean or anything, am just trying to make a picture clear since the error i see here does hurt sometimes.


This topic does not have anything about weight loss but It is about an issue that i have seen in many posts.

As you should all know by now, that people from different parts of earth have joined this forum, people of different colors and different religions... WE ARE NOT ALL CHRISTIANS.

I am not christian but i follow a religion that has a god that i pray to. I respect all religions and as to christians i have tons of christian friends actually my bestie is a christian, my cousin married a christian.

But see...Sometimes i feel that on this forum only christians are to pray and to give support.

I will give some examples to specific sentences in posts that made me think like this. I wont give direct quotes so that i dont call anyone out.
I am having the surgery on (bla,bla day) and i wanted to ask all the fellow christian sleevers to pray for a speedy recovery. (well why wont you just ask all the sleevers to pray for you, do i have to be a christian to pray?)

If you are a christian, you know what to do. Just pray and everything will be better. (Well am not a christian and i also know that praying is the key)

i wish all the christians a happy thanksgiving (we also Celebrate it!!!)

etc...etc

Too many examples very short time... I am not being mean and i know that this error is not intended... I just want everyone to please review what you type before publishing just so you are not leaving anyone out of the equation. Learn to love all religions because not everyone is a christian, and i would love to pray for you for a great recovery and thank you happy thanksgiving to you too.

We are all here to support each other no matter what color/religion we are... its about the support!!

I am now ending Week 2 & moving on to Week 3 of my liquid diet. I meet the with the nutritionist on Friday to discuss my transition to soft foods next week. I was so stressed about another week of Protein Shakes & Water. Well, my boyfriend just came home from his parents house & his mom had bought & put together a whole basket of things I didn't even know existed! Things from BariWise, Wonder Slim and Proti Diet all filled with Protein & meeting all my other nutritional guidelines...fruit flavored Breakfast drinks, Jello Snacks, Soups and also pudding. All have at least 15 grams of protein each. Amazing! I am super excited & so grateful that his mom took the time to do this for me. I'm pretty sure that I have to wait another week for the pudding, but that's okay.

your body probably just grabbed those extra calories and stored them . . its a survival mechanism you were starving your self and when you started putting stuff back into your body reacts by storing them in case you start starving again.
don't panic !
easier said then done i know but your still recovering concentrate on that put away the scales

I'm 5'2", starting weight 279.6, surgery weight 257 getting sleeved in 45min.

Well, I can tell you why I didn't think RNY wasn't for me!!!
1.) malabsorption (multiple Vitamins daily)
2.) rerouting of intestines (increased risk of leakages)
3.) rapid weight loss (loose skin)
4.) dumping (can't eat any sugars)
Those are just a few for me. I still wanted to have a normal life and eat in moderation and the sleeve has done that for me. I personally haven't had any complications but I've seen some on BOTH sides. I choose what was best for ME!! I take 2 Vitamins daily ~ Calcium and Multivitamin. My labs have been SUPERB!!! I suffered from PCOS, PRE-DIABETES, snoring, shortness of breath ~ all of which are non existent 6 months post op today!!! I was even told ill never conceive ~ after years of seeing a fertility specialist and no success ~ I'm now 13 weeks pregnant! Me and my baby are both healthy right now!!! I still exercise, I've ran a 5K (NEVER could have seen this 6 months ago) I sleep and feel better about myself!
My advice, do your research for whats best for YOU!!!! You've heard both sides now....YouTube has a wealth of successful stories for both RNY and the sleeve. My channel is jmcbribe. Also I have a YouTube friend name Millaplus3 that had RNY and she looks BEAUTIFUL!!!! Ask questions!!!! Then make your decision!! Best wishes to you!

I started out at 283. I'm 186 today. (6 months...even though I lost slower than an RNY patient, I liked the fact it gave me a chance to tone my skin) But 90+ lbs in 6 months!!!! Who can do that without any surgery????

Losing too much weight
Having too much money
My car being too fast
All problems I think I could live with.
