  1. The mirror lies

    JustRobin replied to a post in a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    Here's the thing, though... Our brain is trained to see us a particular way in the mirror, TRAINED. So it takes a bit of deprogramming as we lose weight for our brain to adjust. Instead of solely relying on the mirror use pictures. This is a great way to not only document your journey (trust me, a couple years down the road you'll wish you had) but it is an excellent tool to retrain your brain -Mental health professional, rny surgery 1/26/15.

  2. Any Long-Timers here

    JustRobin replied to DiminishingDawn's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
    Absolutely! But I don't think the supports you receive (from medical community) really prepare you for the emotional journey...and its the most important part to success. Sent from my LG-H830 using the BariatricPal App

  3. Why did you choose bypass?

    JustRobin replied to Seraya's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
    Bypass. Most people struggle more long term with sleeve. Its too easy to gain back the weight. Sent from my LG-H830 using the BariatricPal App

  4. Pain Meds?

    JustRobin replied to MichaelaRae's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
    You can't take ibuprofen or any nsids, only Tylenol. I don't remember taking anything after I left the hospital. But if I did, it was for a short time. I went back to work after a week (including surgery day). Sent from my LG-H830 using the BariatricPal App
