Yay)!!!:-)

Isopure is my new friend!!!

I was on the lap to sleeve revision journey until I sat down and did my homework and really thought about it.For me I look at it this way...Inhad the choice at the time back in 2004 andvI went with "The hot new trend and flavor of the month "The lapband".....misery,failure and pain......I am now if given the right opportunity going to choose the bypass...,.I am going to go for the Gold!!!! Finally!!!:-)

So it's very obvious the new newbies want nothing to do with hearing what successful WLS patients have to say. The recent debate over the the eating bacon 1 week postop makes it perfectly clear that what they want is for someone to tell them it's OK to be stupid. They are not interested in listening to their surgeons or nuts or veterans. Self sabotage is the new fad and compliance is apparently out of style. I made the mistake of responding to the post when, as a veteran, I should have known better. Turns out I'm just a big meanie (no surprise there!) At this point it's 95% newbies posting on that thread who don't have a clue what the long term repercussions of eating off plan so soon will lead to. The blind leading the blind.
Oh well. It will be interesting to see the stats of successful EWL go down over the next few years as more and more unprepared, uncommitted people continue to have WLS. In the meantime, I'm outa here. The newbies won. As hard as it is to tear my eyes away from the car wreck, I just can't take anymore people that do stupid shit and then whine about getting their feelings hurt. Someone PM me when the grown ups start joining again.

I am not sure what to make of my stall and slow weight loss? I am over 50 with a PCOS.I have lost 45 pounds in 5 months .I have stalled for a month....not so happy.

You look fantastic!

Somehow this is not cool!!!She is just figuring that out now!!!????Give me a break...what's important that you understand that life is short and you need to live your life happily..lI am not like others..,I am going to tell it like it is...you deserve better,You deserve someone who is going to prefer men and most of all you..."YOU"...ditch this wifey who doesn't wAnt you...you can remain friends if you want.GET YOU BACK..LOVE YOURSELF AND GET OIT THEREAND FIND YOU SOMEONE that will loveYOU...want to have a fulfilling intimates do meaningful relationship with YOU...this wife needs to be EXED.Live your life...this is coming from a cancer survivor!

well, I can only speak for me, and imagine what it would have been to make such a great change younger -
but at this age, I don't care what anyone else thinks. if they were close to me I took the time and respect to listen to their opinions and then did what I knew what was best for me. that includes my dear husband.
also, being over 40 I have a better understanding of what is best for me.
and I think I also didn't care if I end up having to give up wine, or anything else. I understand more than ever as I get older that life is not forever and it has to be grabbed and lived. I want to see my grandchildren and I don't want to be robbed of experiencing life with them long enough for them to remember me when I am gone. I think when I was younger I thought - oh, I have time to try this or that to change my weight - and now I have realized that the time is now, and I needed to make it happen.
people have always thought I was a lot younger than I am, and in someways that as annoying as my experience was dismissed at times - it will be interesting to see how that perception might change as I get closer to goal weight, I am sure I will also be looking more my age. I just don't think that will bother *me* much as I don't spend much time looking at myself.
I think I am also more likely to set aside the money and time I need to take care of myself. whether that means doing less for someone else so I can make sure to get in my exercise or carving out money for the gym - spending appropriate money on good healthy food. I am more willing to do that now than I would have been when I was younger.

They should stop performing Lapbands altogether.

Stop reading negatives..,If you had WLS to begin with it means you are morbidly obese.The sleeve is a great "tool" to lose weight and that's why I assume you opted for the procedure.You are talking about Gherelin I assume.
The biggest worry is not losing the weight and taking care of your health while you are young.I had bypass and my hair is thinning as well but at least I am not gaining weight....I am taking my Vitamins and feeling better...trying to stay positive..,that's why we are all here to help you.We are all going through something....
You will be able to have kids and all the good things...your future is ahead of you!

Thanks...water is a struggle...will increase and buy bio oil as well.

I take BariMelts,A good bariatric multi Vitamin my doctor suggested,liquid Vitamins,chewable Calcium ,Biotin,D3 and liquid collagen because my hair is thinning rapidly.
Most important is the PROBIOTIC.I prefer the refrigerated type from Vitamin shop ,whole foods or other vitamin stores.I range from strains from 30 billion to 80 billion.

No regrets whatsoever...I regret not having bypass from the start!!!

They should stop performing Lapbands altogether.

Soda is not acceptable nor is carbonated soft drinks....end of story.I read the thread...in the end it is your body and your choice....good luck.
