Recommended Posts

While I'm here at the Marriott hotel in TJ waiting for my sleeve tomorrow with dr Garcia, I am thinking about how many times i tried? How many years I wasted in frustration, pain and shame? So I came up with my "list" of diets that turned out as failure.

1- Brazilian pills - totally forbidden but I managed to get them

2- weight watchers

3- Quick Weight Loss centers

4- HCG shots in my belly

5- nutrasystem

6- dunkan diet

7- Soup diet

8- Hollywood diet

I'm sure I'm forgetting something but you can have an idea.

Now tell me yours : )

For a while, in college, I took anything that made my appetite go away...basically speed

After what I did to myself to, unsuccessfully, lose weight....removing part if my stomach is the most sensible

It's easier to list what I haven't tried..........weight loss surgery :rolleyes: It's been 16 years and thousands of dollars (I'm sure I could have paid for a double digit number of surgeries in Mexico) that have led me to this point. August 4 is my new beginning.

Starting back in the early 70's....

liquid Protein diet

80's: Hollywood diet

90's: Jenny Craig

2000's: Weight Watchers & Hydroxicut and later other ephedra based diet pills. When ephedra was outlawed in the US, I resorted to sudafed (did not really work)

I'm really good at losing weight. It's keeping it off.

I have tried them all.

I even did the bariatric diet and lost 129pd and gained it all back in one year.

I am so grateful for my Dr. and the sleeve.

Good luck tomorrow.

I had my surgery on April 15th 2014.

Hey does anyone know where I can get me some Brazilian diet pills?

I've pretty much tried everything else.

I've tried all the diets mentioned and then I counted all my diet and diet cookbooks WELL over 300 that alone could have paid for a sleeve????

You can't anymore because now it's forbidden there too. I did get them when was forbidden here but not in brazil.

      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... :(
