100 degrees in the shade...so where are you doing that important post op walking?
wantingabetterlife replied to nomorechubbybutt63's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Go to the mall or try to get out early in the morning or late at night. Beat the heat of the day! -
Another Stall Post.....How Many Calories Do You Consume?
wantingabetterlife replied to Slim-Shady's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was told not to concentrate on the calories two weeks out. The main focus was protein and water for healing. I was lucky to get in over 500 calories a day. Since I could only eat a tiny amount, I just made sure that it was high in protein. -
Chicken, beef, pork, fish?
wantingabetterlife replied to scarletwitch19's topic in Food and Nutrition
I still can't eat pork. It is so dense and even if I chew it to mush, it comes back up. Seafood, chicken, and beef....no problems. Beef was well after chicken, turkey, and seafood though. -

Should I feel Guilty?
wantingabetterlife replied to MarceMonster's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Feeling guilty doesn't help. I felt guilty my whole life for eating the wrong things! There will always be special occasions, events, etc that you may eat something you shouldn't. They should be the exception, not the normal! Keep up the great work! -

Got approved!
wantingabetterlife replied to portuguesegal10's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Congrats on the approval and this next step! Maybe he was just expressing his first gut reaction to his daughter having surgery? Once he knows the details and you start pre-op, he may change his mind and start being supportive. If not, we are all here for you! Best of luck to you -

Question about surgery in Mexico
wantingabetterlife replied to Gina.marie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you so much! -
Cheated myself
wantingabetterlife replied to laguerr13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I keep on track with high protein and low carb. My body seems to get stuck after a while of being in Ketosis. When I up my carbs and calories for a day, it seems to like it. There have been times when nothing changes the scale but my body did change. Stalls stink and sometimes nothing helps! -
I know this is a crazy question...
wantingabetterlife replied to mickie41's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A question is a question and not crazy at all! It is solely up to your doctor and hospital. I only had on a gown. I didn't care one way or the other, just was nervous and wanted it done! -
Just make sure they are "new tummy friendly". I wouldn't get too many of them though. After surgery, the kind you have may not agree with you and you may have to try another kind.

Need to lose 10lbs
wantingabetterlife replied to tinkerrbell1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is that all you have in a day?? If so, then you may be starving yourself. You need to have enough calories so your body doesn't think it is starving. Be sure to drink plenty of Water also. -
Cheated myself
wantingabetterlife replied to laguerr13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You did it, admitted it, and now.....get back to what you know! (A little tough love) Actually, I do have more than my allotted carbs occasionally to shock my body. It has helped me along my journey. -
How long was your longest stall?
wantingabetterlife replied to GirlOnFire's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes, perfectly normal. It's called the dreaded three week stall. There are many posts on BP about it. My longest stall was 38 days. Just stick to your plan and stay away from the scale. It will move, on its own time! -
Question about surgery in Mexico
wantingabetterlife replied to Gina.marie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had EKG and blood work done when I arrived. I had to fill out a pretty extensive health form prior to going. There were a couple of things he wanted clarification about and had questions about before approving me. -
