Plan to Suceed
WInston223322 replied to A New Day is coming!'s topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Great Plan - Only thing i can say as a Drinker and Smoker and one who slammed the WLS journey is that is alot to bite off at one time, But If you can do it Go for it! The surgery is a tool that will enable you to run the journey. Your calorie plan is a great one, Almost identical to my plan that my Nutritionist set up for me. But be careful Do not focus so much on Calories make sure you focus on healthy foods to get those calories in. Do some research here on Vitamins and Supplements this is going to be a challenge that most of us struggled with at the beginning. Have fun and welcome to the Losers club! Weight that is -
3 week post-op problems 😩
WInston223322 replied to May Brown's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My brother had this same issue - it went away in about a week, I agree with the pedialyte but he made ice chips out of it and use them instead of swallowing gulps it worked for him - He just sipped ice chips all day made of Electrolytes and also try drinking some broth diluted -

Feeling Great? Too Good??

Did you keep surgery a secret? What did you tell people?
WInston223322 replied to FinallyLosingIt20's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
WTF - you would think management would Not put up with that! I did not keep mine a secret but many here have Search this site and you will see many threads about this. -
Ok I am jumping in on this From a differnt angle NO WLS will not fix a abuser of food and alcohol! Most likely will make it worse My Male Ass Story! There is no doubt i went thru some rough times with this, To put it bluntly was a complete Prick! Moody grumpy and all out miserable! Until i got my head on straight. This is a huge issue with both males and females, the extreme changes our bodies go thru make is different. So this tool will never fix those issues I am not married but very close physically and mentally to my x wife. She saw the changes and it got ugly again. I have a few other friends with privileges and they noticed it also. Even my Male friends said WTF! I am 52 and ended up in a Lake side bar brawl with a bunch of 21 year old. Temper was short and they did cross the line, But I would have never even let it bother me pre WLS. Lucky for me i crashed and got help getting my stuff together. I am fine now but it took some time, back to the old person i was. I did not get divorced from WLS i have been divorced a long time. I suggest you get his closest friend or brother to talk to him Man to Man. In other words Man up or you will loose a lot around you. Then get him a Head Doc that specializes in Divorce saving and behavior Changes. Anything can be fixed! Just may not be easy. But i fully understand Hard to Break a ALpha Male Complex

And it begins (or ends?)...
WInston223322 replied to aseknc's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
The above Nailed it! But i wish i would have had my workshop in order before getting this tool called the sleeve. The head games are bumps in the road -
Every person here had second doubts - It is only a tool and it is a rough decision, but you are a addict you are addicted to unhealthy eating! This tool will help control this addiction and get you healthy if you follow the rules of the WLS Road. Only you can make the choice but i will tell you Most of us here will tell you it is the best decision we ever made! Good Luck -

Where to start with everything?
WInston223322 replied to KellyRenae's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Start with a Bariatric surgeon in your area, And make a call to your insurance company to see if it is covered. I just went with the sleeve but all the information you need is here and tons of videos on Utube describing the options -
Bone is your calcium line Dont have that issue but somebody here may have it

Definitely Call the Doc = But i found i was dizzy due to low electrolytes - Once I started taking the pills you drop in water for runners it really helped

Do you miss food?
WInston223322 replied to Suzi_the_Q's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I really do not miss food, I eat healthy high end foods but in small amounts/ For me i was addicted to food and carbs - I am very lucky I never get hungry so I have to eat for fuel not for hunger. To me getting healthy is way ahead of eating tons of food -
Officially in the hair loss phase
WInston223322 replied to loridee11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a male so Really do not care if i loose my hair = plus i had gradual hair loss due to age first. But what i can tell you is my female friends who had the surgery before me went thru this stage and it stopped and grew back. or be like me and Shave your head and loose weight and get asked if you have cancer every day! It will pass i have two friends that were sleeved and made it thru this phase. -
Fully agree Getting healthy and feeling good is the goal not digits on a scale

A year and a half post op
WInston223322 replied to likehasjustbegun's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok I disagree with most of this! However I am not at this state or time frame! My view is your head is doing this, How the heck can you work so hard to get healthy and let some addictions take you back down the rode you were on! Bottom line STOP EATING. There has to be something else you can do besides snake and swallow. May be harsh but my view is simple we all work to hard to get to the finish line! It may happen to me but I never want to go thru this again and No way a bag of Fritos or candy is worth it to me. My view This WLS Head games are the demon that haunts us all -
You have chose to be healthy and that is all that matters! Keep it up and get healthy! Good job! aj

Considering Surgery
WInston223322 replied to xoeriin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You only have to choose one of the two below Pick one 1. Stay the way you are with your addiction and your unhealthy lifestyle! Stay a addict and shortly you will develop diseases related to your obesity and will be miserable and in the mean time Order a Urn on Amazon cuz you are going to need it. You will miss out on years of time with family and friends. Slowly you will kill yourself and be miserable! 2. Get this tool, Fix you addiction and get healthy, Return the Urn to Amazon cuz you wont need it for awhile. Enjoy your new You and enjoy more time in this world! You pick 1 or 2 I am a straight forward No bully poop guy ... but really this is the only two decisions you have!
