Is WLS the easy way out or the only way out?
LadyK44 replied to *Lexie*'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
WLS has added time/quality for both my husband and I. We don't give a care if someone thinks we cheated! We are getting healthy and headed to the gym!' -
My refrigerator is a graveyard of leftover meals. Every weekend my husband and I go out for dinner. We are both sleeved! We order no carb and high protein meals! Over the last eight months we have had leftovers every time. This has been a new experience for us. Sometimes we even split a meal. I can't bear to clean out the refrigerator and waste food. Therefore, it has become my husband's job to discard our take-home boxes! Getting skinny is a family affair.

I went through a time when I ate Cheetos for a several weeks! Then I got depressed. Then I got mad stopped and started over. Back on track and headed to goal. I know that this is a journey and I not perfect! However, this tool is gift and has to be used appropriately. I'm on a journey of a lifetime.

Congratulations and a journey has just begun!

You know you lost weight when
LadyK44 replied to Thomas CPA's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
When you jump out the car and the pants that used to be snug hit the ground. Then you left in your underwear and you are afraid that that might fall next. lol -
It just a part of getting you healthy! The test will show whatever they show. It provides a baseline to work from. I just completed the these test again after surgery. I have increased my odds of having a healthy life despite my genes! Good luck to you!

Walk, sip, rest and take pain medicine. Welcome to the loser bench. It will be a lifetime journey!

Sometimes we just have to remember that being fat did not happen overnight. I am nine months out and working towards goal. This is not a miracle cure it is lifestyle change. Keep trying and keep moving and you'll make your goal don't give up on you! I am officially 184 pounds and my goal is around 145 and I started at 269. Keep it moving and best of luck.

Hi I am moving back to the Atlanta area after being in Fl for over three years. Looking for support around this new sleeved life. I will be sleeved 6 months as of 2/01/15. My husband is also sleeved so if there are some couples that would be great. Thanks!

We love are sleeved life!

I have experienced it with a piece of deep fried fish. Within 30 minutes I started feeling dizzy, sweating and nauseous. It was horrible and scary. I will be eight months sleeved 4/1. I also had greasy French fries. Never again! I still don't always make the perfect choices. However I never want to feel like that again! My sleeve and I are still getting to know another! SW: 269, CW: 186, GW: 140.

Do you miss anything about being fat?
LadyK44 replied to aSleeveStory's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sometimes I miss saying "I am fat anyway so I might as well...." I haven't reach my total weight loss goal at six months sleeved. However I am still moving forward. -
You done great congrats. You are inspirational.

Question for those who had their incision sites glued?
LadyK44 replied to laurashelby's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep in a few weeks mine came off. My surgery almost scraped them off. Talk with your doctor! -
Best thing I ever did!

Congratulations. You have done wonderfully. I know you feel healthier. -
For me being sleeved has saved my life . I was headed down towards an early death. Yep I had lost weight on diets and gain it back plus. Being sleeved is giving me a chance to take control of my eating habits. This takes work but it is worth the effort. I am not at goal but I am keeping it moving.
