NeverBeTheSameAgain

Why? Im just speaking the truth...lol

Girl, put ur big girl panties on & dont worry about lil stuff like this. A stall? We been in a stall for as long as we been fat. U worried about the way ur body look after 3weeks? Dont do that 2 urself. When u feel like that please think about me...I started at 526lbs, so imagine what this body is going 2 look like in 6 months 2 a yr....but I DONT CARE!!!!!!! Im going 2 put on a GOOD girdle & my Sunday bra & keep it moving. THIS journey is about being healthy. If u dont like certain things believe me its some doctor somewhere that can fix it...from now on put all ur change left from $20 in a jar & call it my NEW body collection & by the time u lose all that weight, u will be ready 2 fix whatever u like. Think positive about this, u just added YEARS 2 ur life!

Ima have 2 try that butter but the fish was AMAZING...I was so proud of myself bcuz I like FRIED fish lol & No problem, I kno it was hard 4 me 2 do the liquids & If I could do it the WORLD could do it lol. U are goin 2 do wonderful

Lunch for SEVERAL days!

So I was cleared 2 eat soft food 2day. I jus made me 1 pc of talapia. I cut up some onion & bell pepper, put 1 teaspoon of butter in a skillet & let that simmer...then I put a pinch of seasoning on the fish & jus put it right on top of that simmer. It was the BEST fish I ever ate in life...maybe cuz its been WEEKS on liquids. I cant wait 2 eat this fish EVERYDAY..lol I made 3 pcs & could only eat half of 1...but it was damned good!

Girl, peanut butter is protien...lol Anyway, ur body is like WHT the hell is she doing...so u get those feelings of I NEED something other than just liquid. U are fighting against ur own mind. My mind says a protein drink or shake..is just that, a drink, where is the food? So u literally have 2 play tricks on urself. You will be fine. I ate 3 grilled chicken patties on my liquid diet not all at the same time but I did it & everything went fine. You can do this, trust me IF I can ANYBODY can.

Thank you guys, I have my follow up appointment with the surgeon 2morrow...so we will see what happens but I have been drinking water all day & still dont need 2 go. I really hope I dont have 2 go in the hospital bcuz I NEED 2 WORK!!!! lol

I was sleeved on the 3rd & been home since the 7th, I have been drinking water...not as much as required but quiet a bit. My problem is that I am only using the bathroom once a day if that & its dark. Im not sure whats going on & my mom is VERY worried that I'm getting dehydrated. Has anyone else experienced this? PLEASE HELP!!!

Praying 4 u...congratulations

Congrats chic...keep up the good work!

Im sorry I dont have any good news for you because 2day Im really down myself. I shouldnt be because just like you, I too have lost weight (30lbs) & Im only 2 weeks out but for some reason Im just not feeling into it. I feel like I wanna just climb back in bed, put the covers over my head & just cry myself to sleep. I think about how I have SOOOO much weight 2 lose & it gets 2 me EVERYTIME. All I can say is keep doing what you been doing as far as your weight lost is concerned & pray that moments like those pass. I know Im praying & HARD!

Girl, u just made me so READY for thursday to come....I will then be on soft foods & u just named EVERYTHING I love. Thank u in advance

I went back 2 work 10 days after & I am the computer 100% as well, so all I do is take the long way around for bathroom breaks. U will be ok

This week I am starting 2 have my follow up appointments & I went to the 1 of the doctors 2day. Now when I 1st went I couldnt be weighed on their scale because it only went up to 500lbs & as all of u know I was 526lbs. Well 2day, when he called my name I was thinking omg, Im still not going 2 be able 2 give my weight. So the nurse said just put all of ur things dwn & lets see. So I did & I got on that scale WITH MY SHOES ON & it read 497lbs smh. Yall have no idea, how that made me feel. I know EVERY scale dont go up 2 (500lbs) but I can actually get weighed like a normal person...all I could do is cry. Most ppl dont have 2 worry about that kinda stuff but I do & it made my day 2 see my weight come accross that screen EVEN THO its still alot it came accross that screen & thats ALL that matters 2 me.

Congratulations on ur new life.

What happened?

Well, I dont kno really because I have 2 different list...1 from the doctor and 1 from the hosp. The doc says, that full liquids include puree things such as soft eggs and mashed potatoes....BUT the hosp list reads full liquids is just that ONLY liquids. My doc says at my 2week appt. he will introduce me to soft foods which is AFTER puree, I been really hoping that Im doing the right thing. I can only get 3 spoons dwn anyway, so the rest is all liquids.

Girl, thats the hosp protocol... then I had 2 stay because my blood pressure wouldn't come down. I have a high pain tolerance so I was using the meds. They made me take the meds & once it went down I went home

I have this feeling in my chest that comes & goes ALL day. The doc says thats the top of ur stomach where the surgery was being done. Um I dont like that feeling. Anyway, besided that im doing pretty good...up fixin my own broths, tkin my showers alone, walkin around, im ok. Im ready 2 get out of this house & atleast jus RIDE lol How is everybody else doing?

I was sleeved June 3rd, the doctor said I did excellent... even tho all I had 2 do was lay there & sleep lol Anyway, I came out went 2 recovery, then 2 ICU for 2days. I was walking in about 5 hrs. Wait! I lost 13lbs on the liquid diet & 4lbs in ICU, so I am on the losers bench now & will REMAIN there happily. Thanks 4 ur thoughts & prayers smooches

I was wondering the same thing, I kept telling the doctors who kept saying it's apart of my stomach & im thinking this is TOOO high up. Ima try gasx & I will let u know If that helps

Its so sureal, all this time I did nothing about my weight but gain it & here I am layin in a hosp bed LITERALLY minutes away from changing my entire life. Wow, im finally lookin out 4 ME & it feels good

Im so excited...I already lost 13lbs last week on the liquids. This is really happening

Welll guys, im up & about 2 take my antibacterial shower...lol Then I will be on my way 2 the hospital, where my NEW journey will begin. I've prayed, been prayed 4 & im ready 2 go. Keep my in ur prayers. See u on the losers bench muahhhhh

I wanna see toooooooo!!!!! Congrats good job
