What did you tell people?
1happyloser2b replied to jmendezrn's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tell them your diet must change since your surgery and that you can no longer eat the same foods,because they cause you too much GI distress! Sent from my iPad using VST -

Super Nurses With Sleeves (Support Group)
1happyloser2b replied to Need-a-Sleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey Jana and fellow nurses!!!! Add me to the group!!! I am a RN specializing in psychiatry. I have been a nurse for 15 years! I have lot of co-workers who have had WLS. Last year a co-worker I didn't know started talking about her 100lb weight loss. We were in the cafeteria and she had a cup of fruit and I had placed an order for PANCAKES!!! She just started sharing her journey right there, and she told me her husband had the surgery also. He was also doing great! That conversation got me thinking, I scheduled my WL seminar (for the second time) and went in December of 2012, I am now waiting for my surgery DATE!!!!! the first time I went to the seminar they only talked about 2 surgeries "The Lap Band" and "The Bypass". Well I knew a few people that had the band and were struggling, and I was afraid of the bypass. The second seminar to my surprise there was another option The VERTICAL SLEEVE!!!! Hopefully my SAVIOR!!!! As nurses we must be an example of health as best we can I believe, so this surgery will give me the best chance of doing that since ALL OF THE OTHER METHODS I HAVE USE IN THE PAST WERE EPIC FAILS!!!!!!!!! Good luck to everyone!!! -
What do you tell children?
1happyloser2b replied to anniemay's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Keep it simple! Tell them u are going to get a procedure that will help you "feel better" and that u won't be in the hospital as long as your oldest child was there. If they begin to question just keep it vague! Good luck to you!! God bless! -
Anyone having problems telling others?
1happyloser2b replied to TTL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My mantra will be: I cut down my portion sizes, increased my protein,eliminated sugars and junk food, and I walk everyday! THIS IS NOT LYING! I did omit one other fact of the matter!!! LOL! People are gonna think what they wanna think anyway! I remember my co-worker ,when she got "The Lap Band" everyone had an opinion. INCLUDING ME!!! I remember saying I wouldn't let anyone cut on me unless I had tried EVERYTHING to lose weight first! Well I am not her I don't know what her life and health have been like, I have not walked in her shoes!!! Look at me 4 years later I am having surgery to help me with this struggle!!! If I hear one more time from the few family that I have told " just have willpower!" (They are overweight too so you would think that THEY of all people would understand!!!!) I WILL SCREAM!!!! Not telling! Final answer!! -
I feel/ felt the same way!!!! I am waiting for "MY DATE!" We feel this way for several reasons, one is our family. I have two boys ages 14 & 12! I want to see my grandchildren thats why I am doing this and for many other health related prevention issues! Secondly I believe since this is a surgery that we are choosing that makes it more scary, for me at least!!! Think about it if this was life saving heart surgery we had to have I don't think I would be as afraid!!! I still would be but I would know I needed to have the heart surgery! SOME OF US IF NOT ALL OF NEED THIS SURGERY!!!! It's the fact that WE ARE CHOOSING IT!!! That is scary!!! Yes we can not get it but then look at our CONTINUED QUALITY OF LIFE!!! We will be fine!!! God bless you!!!
