    please tell me the truth

    I have a huge weakness for pizza its a big thing for me as well. I did have the toppong off one medium slice not long ago...im 2 mos post op. I also eat the weigh watcher smart ones thin crust onky maybe 1/4 to 1/2 of it. Theyre very small but helps the craving of it... i kind of want to not eat it much tho because old habits die hard and id just prefer stay away from the eal deal as much as possible lol

    Am I selfish for wanting bypass?

    The sleeve can still give u acid reflux issues and the bypass usually doesnt... i do not think u are selfish at all.. u and only u know what u want and need .. i too wanted bypass as i have diabetes and wantes to ensure eating sweets would make me sick so i would stay away from them more and. I have already made the mistake of having a wls i was unsure about when i had the lapband 9 years back. My reflux worsened and i did lose but couldnt get fills any longer due to the reflux complications.. eneded up having gastric bypass on july 29th and so far 44 lbs. Plus my diabetes is under control and i feel womderful. You do what is best for you!!

    Miserable!

    The more u walk the better u will feel. I had alot of pain too but it passed after a few days. Just keep sipping and walking and things will get better i promise
  7. Thats awesome!!! U look fabulous
  8. Aww yall are all so kind. Thank u all
  9. Thank u wallflower. I believe that is true because everyone else sees it drastically and i just see it a little. I hit my 40 lb loss on the scales this morning was a big yay for me!! U have done fabulous girl!! That before and after pic is amazing transformation!! Woohoo! I cannot wait to be in ONEDERLAND! lol i actually had lapband 8 years ago and lost 100 lbs. Had it removed about 6 months ago due to the fact i had so much reflux issues that for 3 years i was basically deflated and it wasnt a tool for me anylonger. I gained 20 of that 100 back. So if i was to count all that loss id be at about 120 lbs lost too. But im basically just counting what ive lost w this whole gastric bypass... i still have about 120 to lose. But ur photo is inspiring to me. Thank u
  10. Thank u. Im so excited for this journey... i have questions pop up from time to time but usually find the answers here from somwone else asking similar stuff but thank u so much
  11. Im onky 5 weeks post op and have lost 38 lbs so these are not a huge drastic change yet. But definitely starting to see the differences

    Sense of smell got stronger!

    I wondered if it was just me but i see its not. My sense of smell is way stronger than it ever was... and my tastes have changed as well. Ate some squished up baby carrots and loved them and i used to hate carrots. Also tasted fish and didnt gag and used to i gagged everytime lol

    How can you tell

    I just use protein powder to make me shakes. Have never been one to puree meats etc... i use bariatric advantage protein powder and use 2 scoops per shake which gives me 27 g of protein in 1 shake. So i only need 2 then maybe a yogurt to hit 60 a day. Also sometimes i add a teaspoon of fat free peanut butter to the shake for that lil extra protein. Chocolate peanut butter shskes are good i also use premier protein already made shakes they have 30g a shake and taste pretty good for that much protein.
