Curious why you think you’d be denied? My experience was pretty uneventful and “ easy”... 6 months from referral to surgery

Amazing job! You must feel awesome!

Ate a chocolate cupcake yesterday 😖

Now that I’m at goal I think I’m in trouble BC I’m loosening up on what can be eaten. I’d like to say I can just enjoy what I want in smaller amounts but I think that’s the road to hell lol

I was sleeved on 9/10/18. I also have buyers remorse. Have had it since 9/11/18. But I absolutely would change it if I could!! If this situation had an undo button, I would have been hitting that thing with every ounce of energy I barely have. I have been miserable since surgery. I’m mad at myself for doing this to myself. I’m tired of the smells of ANYTHING making me nauseous. I’m mad that I’m going to have to miss 2 weeks of work for this mess, when I would much rather be out every day getting paid. I’m just so completely miserable and mad at myself and I don’t feel any better today than I did on Monday evening.

Amazing for you- congrats!!

I’m over 9 months out and still weigh and measure my food.

Surgery dec 20th so about 9 months post. Lost over 100 lbs. obv slower as the months went on—

I’m about 9 months post and eat around a cup.... or 4 oz . My nut says around 3/4 to 1 cup so maybe that’s fine?!?!

I’m def full after — do wonder if it’s over doing it but it hasn’t hurt my weight losss so all good I guess??

You’ll do just fine! Congrats!

I had sugar free coconut chocolate candy (2) today . 😳

But isn't that what the veterans' forum is for? Focusing on things other than the immediate effects of surgery? I imagine vets still have plenty of challenges and wisdom to share with each other. Our "old life" will always be issuing its siren song, trying to drag us back . . .

I can't wait to transition to the vet forum!

p.s. I've stepped back from most of the basic question threads. I let newer people answer them. (Unless it looks like they're not going to get a response. Then I can't help myself.) I try to make sure no-one feels ignored.

Thank you!

Congrats on your journey and your new found mindset independence

I bought the chocolate and caramel covered soy nuts from this site. Expensive but good! Also sugar free puddings and popsicles are my life savers sweets wise

Good luck - you’ve got this,

Congrats to you! Walk often and get rid of that gas faster :)

Breathe.

You’re ok.

Yes the slimies are gross

Don’t eat dry fish and slow down your eating

It gets easier :)

Hang in there xo

I don't see the difference but the scale says it coming off somewhere. Not pre-op but closest I have. 7/22 10 days after surgery and last night 9/6. 342lbs on day of surgery, 345lbs in 1st pic, 299lbs in 2nd pic. 46lbs lost and counting but where? Only thing I've noticed is feet and hands, lol.

Hi - congrats on surgery. It passes hang in there. Day 5 turns a corner

Get up and walk ALOT. Really- don’t stop getting up and walking over next few days- it helps a lot .

Digital food scale , body scale and bio oil :)

Love the idea and want to do the same but haven’t found a design I like— curious what you decided to represent your weight loss?

Congrats!

Thanks!!!!

Pan seared shrimp has been a quick easy lunch. I usually have little spinach bake with it. I made this awesome greek turkey burger. We've had salmon a few times and ground chicken sausage cooked with cabbage and onion.

Thanks for the update! I’m sure she will be a champion today! She will most certainly post when able lol

Congrats Frust!

Congrats on the journey you’re about to begin! It’s an amazing ride— good luck tomorrow!
