I didn’t lose for the first at least two weeks. Your body is healing and focused on that, not focused on losing weight. No More weighing yourself for a bit

I didn’t tell people I work with. The weight doesn’t fly off 30 lbs at a time, so when they see you everyday it’s not as noticeable. My body, my business

You’ll be tired for awhile, it’s normal. Keep up with your water!

Bypass at 37! A shattered ankle sidelined me for about a year and I gained so Much weight during that time. It was time to take control

I also had the bypass and was told that no two patients are the same. I can also eat more then 1/2 c of food but I usually don’t. Sometimes I accidentally overdo it and I’m in a great deal of pain.

To each their own then. I explained to my family that when I had this surgery, things would look different for the whole family. We are a team, and we are all Making healthy changes. I don’t see it all “punishment” I’m teaching them to be healthier individuals.

I’m just saying the food doesn’t make the holiday. Your family will do fine without cinnamon rolls. Just explain to them that things will be different moving forward

I love it, syncs to my Fitbit and takes the guess work out of getting my 64 oz per day

Hidrate spark “smart” water bottle.

If you are cooking, you get to set the menu. Cinnamon rolls aren’t good for anyone. Set a good example

Have you spoken to your Doctor about help dealing with your SAD?

Very common after WLS

Right now you need to love yourself more then you love him.

Good for you! It’s so nice to hear compliments! I recently dyed my hair red (I was blonde) so that’s the first thing people see, and that seems to be the only thing they comment on ? Oh well

So how did it go?

Wait until you start dropping weight! Then you’ll remember the reason you did this

I’m rochester too ?

My overall rate is 2.45 lbs lost/week

Is the relationship worth saving?

I had told my teaching team about seeing a nutritionist and starting a new work out regime back in the spring (true) and that I had my gallbladder out in July (also true). Basically I’m just going to tell people that after I had my gallbladder removed there were so many foods I could no longer tolerate and thus, an added bonus was additional weight loss.

I didn’t lose anything the first 2 weeks. You are healing. Give it time

You’ll just need a ride home

Ask to see another doc in the same practice if possible so it doesn’t take forever to get an appt with a brand new doctor in a brand new practice. The wait can sometimes be months

I had the bypass because there is long term research on it. I didn’t feel like there was enough long term research on the sleeve
