SOON_TO_BE_THIN

I was just searching support groups in Kitsap County and came across these two old posts. I would be game for putting a coffee group together for other weight loss surgery folks looking to share tips/tricks and keep on task. I was sleeved 11/9/2016.

I've had a few surgeries....this was the easiest one I've ever recovered from. I really could have driven home the next morning if it were legal. I was working from my laptop in bed right away and was stir crazy and wanted to go shopping or do something just a couple days after being home. My belly was a little sore, but honestly felt better to move around than lay around. Easy Peasy....keep your eye on the prize! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

If you are moving towards surgery, you can always start prepping now. Get in your fluids.....cut down on sugars and carbs....don't make yourself heavier while stressing about surgery. Remember that surgery is not a magic pill...you still have to work hard. It's easy to feel defeated. Keep your eye on the prize and your chin up. Good luck with your journey.

Howdy - I've been reading so many mixed reviews about if GENEPRO really has 30 grams of Protein or not.....but since I have it, I am going to use what I have. People say the mix it in food and coffee. I just put a scoop in a cup of tomato Soup, and it was clumpy and nasty and I had to toss it out. Is there a trick? Do you have to dissolve it somehow before adding to hot liquid? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

BTW --- Not all Newbies are millennials looking for their next praise point or trophy. Some of us are just legitimately "new" and looking for advice and tips from people who have already done this. I'm sure I've asked dumb questions too. Today alone I've seen this post, some weird religious chick crying about Sarah Palin and saying why you can't have morals without Jesus, some woman who doesn't understand why a guy she has known for 2 weeks still hasn't devoted his life to her....the list goes on. I've also read posts from Vets bitching about newbies in the same way conceited HS Seniors pick on stupid lowly Freshman pukes. Is there always so so so much drama here?

I'm worried as well. My husband is even heavier than me...although very supportive so far. I fear though. It's a little bit like alcoholism. When both people drink and one stops or cuts back....how can that not create tension. Even with best intentions, the one who still drinks has loss of their partner in crime....and the one who gets clean watches the other one continue to make poor choices....whether there is judgement on either side or not, there would be perception of judgement. You have to do what it takes to get yourself heathy and on track and worry about yourself first. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I wasn't restricted on caffeine (within reason). Starbucks w/nonfat milk and sugar free vanilla syrup = Life. Also cold brew w/nonfat milk and sweet n low. .....now if there was only a diet equivalent of Cabernet Sauvignon! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I am on day 8....and worry about the same thing. I can really gulp liquids. I'm losing weight, but who wouldn't on a liquid diet eating 600 calories. Nervous about adding real food into the mix. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

What a journey. Good for you. Be proud for all that hard work Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
