When I am in the gym working out I think to myself: "Building twisted steel and sex appeal!"
Other mantras include: "Attitude is everything" "This is my individual journey and I am finding my way" "I am growing and changing." "I make appropriate food choices based on my goals." "I am finding my own recovery."
Great topic!!!

Great question! I take 3 different kinds, depending on what I am doing for the day. I use Wellesse liquid, UpCal D powder, and Calcet Creamy Bites. The wellesse liquid doesn't taste that bad, the powder I mix in with my protien shakes or sugar free pudding, and the Creamy Bites when I am on the go. Using a combination of the three, I never struggle to get my Calcium in.

When my tummy aches I tell it to shut up! I have a great inner dialogue going on all day with myself. Sorry I wasn't much help.

I broke up with my girlfriend 3 months post-op. I am not sure if it had anything to do with my surgery. I think it had to do more with not wanting to settle. I am hoping to meet someone at a race, support group meeting, or at the gym.

I didn't wear anything after surgery. I did start wearing compression gear when I started working out and running.

I use the same ones I used pre-op, the only difference now is I use a lot less at a time.

As a single guy, I still spend about the same amount. The big difference is now I spend that money on quality items. I can live with that. Great topic!!

I don't know why, but I asked mine how big my pouch would be. Otherwise, I was more than ready for the surgery.

Do not give up! Keep at them!

Good for you!!! I ran my first 5k a few weeks back, it was awesome. I have a bunch of 5k races lined up for this year. I would have never thought in a million years that I would enjoy running, now it has become a part of my weekly fitness routine. Good luck, hope you have a great time.

I can't say I disagree with you. I didn't write a note to anyone, but I did fill out my advanced directives. I told my family about those directives and what to expect if something happened to me. Best wishes!!!

Congrats on your decision!!! Continue to prepare yourself for your surgery. Be pro-active, soak up as much info as you can. Start exercising. Attend a support group if you have them in your area. Best of luck!!!

I started walking the day I got home from the hospital. I wasn't cleared to lift weights until my 10th week.

The surgery will only do so much. The rest is up to you. I have co-workers who have had WLS and have regained most of their weight back. One of them was looking for a "quick fix." It doesn't sound like that is what you are looking for. I hope you find what you are looking for. Best of luck!
