  1. Colleen I LOVE LOVE LOVE your reply to this question. It actually brought a tear to my eyes because I can visualize you achieving these goals. I have to remember that the surgery is just a tool and I have to do the work, mostly in my mind & then follow the plan. I am so excited for you to achieve your results. You should make a DREAM BOARD and put your weight loss WHY up with the things you mentioned so you can remember during the hard times. Love... Cindy
  2. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your comments! Thank you so much. You never know how your reply and words can really help all of us who are starting out and are in Pre and even Post op. Love ya
  3. HELLO FRIENDS, I had met with my Nutritionist and have one more appt before paper work is submitted to Ins. I started logging my meals into MyFitnessPal which by the way is under (losingmyweight) I would love to have you as an encouragement friend. Can I just say WHOA had no idea I was consuming so much FAT!!! The Nutrition person set me at 1,800 calories and 90 grams of protein! I have been doing a detox as I really just wanted to get my body ready to receive weight loss. I AM SO CONSTIPATED and dont want to take laxatives. Is there a healthy ORGANIC remedy I can take that you would recommend???? I get my EGD in the morning to see if I have a hernia... which I believe I do and the surgeon said he would repair during surgery I gave up caffeine for my detox and lets just say I have had a major headache even thou I only drink one cup in the morning. Shhhhhhh dont tell anyone I had a cup today because I woke up feeling so bad. QUESTION: If you drank caffeine (I dont drink soda just coffee) did you wein yourself off BEFORE the surgery and what seemed to help you during the transition????? Love....

  7. I had my first appt with my surgeon today. I was expecting him to say Gastric Bypass for me as I am 50 and have to lose 100 pounds. I do not have any other health concerns excepts my knees, arthritis and oh yes I am obese. I have been concerned with the malapsorption of the gastric bypass but also the sleeve with gerd. I am having an EGD to rule out Hiatal Hernia and from there the surgeon will give me his recommendation on surgery. QUESTION: If you have had sleeve and you had to do all over again verses the Gastric bypass would you?
  8. Hello Friends... I meet with my Nutritionist tomorrow morning. What questions would you suggest asking her. I am going to try and stick to Organic products for Protein, nutrition, etc as I want to get the purest form of absorption into my body. What is a question you wish you would have asked that you now know about and would have been helpful? Thank you your response means alot to me.... Cindy

  10. I am meeting with surgeon in a couple weeks and we are discussing the sleeve verses bypass. I am 50 years old, no other health concerns except my knees are bad from my extra weight and the obvious.. I am overweight scratch that obese : ) So for those of you who have had bypass I was wondering if you would now have considered the sleeve or visa versa. THANK YOU ahead of time as I am a newbie.
