RAMDON THOUGHTS

ABOUT WLS

When you are thinking about having WLS I want you to think about just a few things.

1. Saying yes means you will do something new, meet someone new most likely and make a difference in your life.lovestruck.gif

2. Be true to yourself. It is you, your authentic self, the one you were in the first grade, before you leaned to massage your personality into a form that would suit others.heart.gif

3. Sometimes it is hard to hear the message because of all the external voices and they are so loud.

4. Voices that are loud are always meant to bully. DO NOT BE BULLIED.angry.gif

5. So carry your courage in an easily accessible place. Be your OWN authentic person when it comes to Weight Loss Surgery. This is ALL about you and NO one else.

6. Last you don’t need the approval of the Bully. You know what is right for you, follow your heart and go for it.biggrin2.gif

Hugs,party.gif

Hi,

Excellent. Sometimes we just need to the the simple things in life when we aren't getting the support from those who we thought we could count on.:unsure:

It is amazing that people who are our friends are scared they will lose us if we become thin and healthy. These are just simple and easy thoughts. So many of us are care takers and we want to please others and take care of them. We need to put all our efforts in taking care of US FIRST!. :angel_smile:

I am thrilled you have your sister and she has you.

Keep up the great work with the support.:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

Hugs,

Suzanne

I think #1 really hit home for me. The sleeve really is about a new life and moving away from what we know to make a change that will help improve our lives forever.

Hi,

Well, I know for me it means being healthy, and having the life that I wished I could have and always felt like "I" had failed.

With the sleeve it was my tool to allow me to achieve my goal and it also has showed me that I am NOT a failure. And I know I will always keep the weight off. I have made a lifestyle change. It is funny how we are our own worst critic when it came to trying to lose weight before the sleeve.

Hugs, and I am glad that what I said hit home with you.

Thank you Suzanne for the great inspiration just yesterday I had to explain to my ex it’s not about what someone else feel or think, it’s all about me, and if God gives me permission, it’s going to be done.

For once in my life I am doing something for me, something I never thought about, it was always about serving others and I will continue to help others, but I will not forget about ME anymore.

It’s God, Me, Kids, everyone else!!!:D

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
