I guess I'm jst trying to get opinions on any sugar free sweets after surgery...I have IBSD bad! So yeah I don't want dumping syndrome either...my mom is diabetic so I'm used to SF things in the house growing up...but again I'm scared of regain & wanting sweets after surgery ...I'm jst questioning thoughts on avoiding all together or if it's best to do lil at a time so you don't binge on sweets eventually?? Idk if that makes sense...but jst trying to get thoughts Sent from m

I'm honestly scared to eat any sweets (sugar free Jello included)... I have read too many stories of regain & I'm scared once I start down that path it will eventually make me gain weight (sugar free or not) ...I know it's about portion etc but still was wondering would it be better not to introduce sweets at all or jst do sweets in lil increments? (PS...I have everything submitted & approved, jst waiting on a surgery date..so haven't talked to ANYONE about anything yet as far as surgeons and foods)...but that recipe sounds yummy Sent from m

They said all my issues could be controlled with meds?! The bariatric surgeon basically told me that this is their common response in order not to try to pay for it.... but I appealed it ...and they had 30 days to get back to me... And now I got approved ...yaaaay!! ???? Sent from m

Thank you all Sent from m I'm jst starting a YouTube chnnl & I'm going to take videos as much as I can throughout the process....one: for something to look back on for motivation when I hit "stalls" & two: so others who have many questions can at least see what I'm going through... I put up a "test video" last night...jst because...but I am going to start documenting my PreOp visits, shopping for things I'll need postop, my actual surgery date (film as much as I can in the hospital), post op (pain & water/food/vitamin intake) etc.... If anyone wants to watch or follow: look for ..."BariatricGirl 4life" under R&Y intro (I think)... more to come!! Also have a FB Acct under that name if want to add or follow ???? Sent from m

I feel ya honey!!! Omg I NEVER see myself as fat as I am...Reality hits when I try on clothes, see myself in pics, or catch a glimpse of myself in a full length mirror or window reflection...my first thought: "Dude...that's me?!!" ... then I get depressed & get even more self conscience & my anxiety kicks in & makes me think everyone is judging me I AM SOOOOO READY FOR THIS!! Can't wait for them to call me next week w/ my SET SURGERY DATE!!! (Looks to be the beginning of November)....can't wait to shop for clothes that don't look (sorry if this offends anyone!) Granny-fied ...they think all big peeps want big flowers or print or jst UGLY clothing?! . My main store I wanna hit when I lose weight... PINK!!! Love their glittery cute hoodies!!! I have never in my life worn a pair of heels...so that's one on my bucket list too!! Can't wait to shop in normal sized clothing!! ???? Sent from m
