Good for you and your son. I often think of the things I couldn't do with my kids and the times the must have been embarrassed by my weight, especially on the beach. So happy your getting a second chance. Good luck to you. My surgery is 9/13

This is so helpful. Thank you and good for you for such a great attitude. My surgery is 9/13. I pray I will do as well as you.

I also self sabotage. I try to look at the patterns and eliminate it. At one point it was drive thrus. I made a no drive thru rule and if I wanted the food I had to go in. I hated going inside so I eventually stopped. Look for patterns and make a plan around them. Another one was I would blindly eat at night. I made a no eating after 8 rule and ate dinner a little later. That helped too. Good luck Sent from my VS986 using the BariatricPal App

I have learned, especially recently, that I don't have to defend my life choices to anyone. I also try not to join their ignorance by insulting them back. When someone criticizes anything about me, my opinions or my choices, I simply say "It works for me" , I end the discussion and I change the subject. I'm getting better the more I do it and it is amazing how negative people don't know how to handle the lack of emotional response. Best wishes to you.

I grow mint and it's get versatile. I have a Brita Water filter. I filter the Water and put in another pitcher, throw in fresh mint, let it sit in fridge and enjoy. Add Stevie if u want. Also great with fresh brewed tea. I chop it and add to chopped cucumber and plain great yogurt as salad dressing, spread or dip. Its also good chopped and added to chicken salad. I use the extract in chocolate shakes too

Hello Gina -- I am so sorry that you regret your surgery so much. I am in no way trying to undervalue that, so please don't take this that way. I just wanted to let you know that I am now 16 months out from having the sleeve, and I had terrible diarrhea for months afterwards, but no longer do. I can also now eat pretty much whatever I feel like, so long as it's a small portion. I've lost 125 lbs. I do hope things improve for you.

I'm having mine in the same date and have the same problem. I'm preparing the house. I went out and bought premiere Protein shakes, prepared sugar free puddings, diet Arizona teas, Water filter pitcher...... If you want to travel together on this journey let me know. I get more nervous and more excited everyday it gets closer.

From reading the blogs I should have asked about antinaceous medication and if he's using the abdominal block. My surgery is 9/13 so I'm going to call now and ask

Thank you everyone. I am considering therapy. I have been to OA many times-it wasn't for me. I will definitely pick up the book. Putting myself first is what I need to do and dont have much practice with.

I am scheduled for sleeve in one month. I'm lifelong obese, was banded 7 years ago. I haven't told my family yet. They will not understand. They are cross fitters and health preachers. Although everything they do is not healthy. As many do, they deal with stress with alcohol, prescription meds,over exercising..... That is not a criticism. They don't understand emotional eating or food addiction. I also don't understand and often beat myself up for being so fat. I guess I'm asking if anyone else felt this way before having the sleeve and how you are dealing with it after the surgery. I want to be healthy, active and involved in life. /URL]
