jms7e3 got a reaction from Austin1966 in Why Getting Sleeved was the Biggest Mistake of My Life
Someone like me who's extremely nervous and scared due to surgery but it's normal feelings really dislike that you posted this comment because we're all here for the same thing and that's support and tips. Common sense when considering this your considering the whole package which is healthy eating and working out and living a healthy life. Unlike you who jumped into it by running to Mexico should have thought more about everything!!

jms7e3 got a reaction from GBLady41 in Husband just doesn't understand
I'm so sorry to hear that and I understand me and my boyfriend ended things after 5 years due to this but I realized for me it was for the best because like you my starting weight was 405 started process since 11/14 currently at 363 and starting my preop diet on 8/4 my surgery is 8/19 and its not cause I'm lazy it's because I need help and with surgery that's what I'm getting a lot of people don't understand that and think we're lazy but they will or never understand what it's like living in our shoes. Keep moving forward hopefully he can come around if not his loss! You got this keep going forward and things will be just fine!

jms7e3 reacted to dstined4gr8tnes in Interested in the Sleeve, Dr. recommended Bypass
My doctor told me the same thing. He said due to my bmi, the bypass would be the only thing that would help me get the most results. My fear was the side effects of the dumping syndrome with the by pass. And while I understand that side effects are minimized if you follow directions, I also recognize that I am human and may eat something that just disturbs me. Either way I started at 410, by surgery I was 365. This was may 2013, I am now 220 and have maintained this weight for over a year. Honestly, my dr. Would like for me to be 150 but I am happy where I am. I may go for 190 -- but going from a size 32 to a size 14 made me happy enough . Make the best decision for you!

jms7e3 reacted to beachgal2935 in Husband just doesn't understand
My husband of 23 years is also clueless but I'll give him credit as far as being supportive. He'd pass out if he knew I started this process at 257 lbs. or was 285 lbs at my highest. Of course he and my 19 year old son continue to eat unhealthy in front of me, which actually grosses me out now! Let me share with everyone something my psychologist shared with me at mayo clinic, where I had my surgery. When you yo-yo diet, which we're all experts at and have been for years, and lose weight your body goes into fight or flight mode. Take your highest weight and no matter how much you lose your body will fight it's way to get back to it's highest. That's why so many people lose large amounts of weight (I lost 85 lbs in 2008) and gain it back. Weight loss surgery is the ONLY answer for us (certainly not because it's easy either) because it gives us a "Do-over"! The psychologist told me to think of my new stomach as that of a new baby's. When a baby is hungry it cries, is fed and is satiated. That's how we are now that we've had WLS. Pretty simple. Once I heard this explanation, I felt like I finally stood a chance at being a healthy weight. In the back of my mind I thought, "It probably won't work on me" but I'm proud to say it most definitely is working. When I stepped on the scale this morning, I was down 65 lbs. since my surgery 4/21/15

I drink Premier Protein for quick ready to go ideas, but I also purchased GENEPRO on ebay. It is a tasteless Protein Powder I can put in anything and I swear you dont even know it is there. It is 30g of Protein for one little scoop. Can put it in Soup, yougurt, pudding drinks etc
