Seriously froggi I think I almost busted a stich when you quoted her...but you are right...I have liked you since I first met you. I honestly have to say that I believe that you will do FANTASTIC with the band. You have the right mentality and determination.

As for opening your mouth...I have learned to shut mine a bit more now, but earlier in life when people called me a bitch...I thanked them and thought it was a compliment. As a teacher...I have to be more diplomatic and it has spilled into everyday life. Though I have to say I really had to bite my tongue last night when someone told me that I shouldn't get a fill at all because I am at goal even though I am hungry. She told me that I should figure out where my hunger is coming from. Maybe it was in my head. This was on my "home" thread. But I replied with a very curt one liner and then I was done. Really had to fight myselt to not just throttle her.

Chickie, thanks so much for posting the links to your before and after pictures! You look amazing. You should be so proud!

I would love to read that entire article but the print is so small for my old eyes. Maybe I can read it earlier in the day when my eyes aren't so blurry. Is there anywhere it's printed in a larger font?

Oh man. So the only way I get to be a sucess story is to do only liquids? Are we STILL on that bandwagon?.....who is this person's Doctor? My Doc would slap me over the head if I told him that was my diet because thats all I could keep down and then he would immediately remove a lot of my fill!!

Its for reasons like that my doctor is afraid to give proper fills. He stresses it to no end every time im in his office. “You shouldn’t want to get so tight all you can consume are liquids, so Im only going to give you a small fill. I’ll give you .3cc” :)

He even sings songs about it, You know, the Blondie one…

Man from Mars I think it is – eating cars and trucks, no motorcycles… If you are looking at the screen right now like… “WTF?” Well, when you’re stuck on a highway in a traffic jam because several lanes are merging, what’s going to get through faster? Trucks & cars or motorcycles. Exactly.

Also, if we are to regurgitate our motorcycles as a means of training ourselves, then some of us don’t learn so quickly.

Some of us do and frankly don’t need to accent the fact we shouldn’t ever do “that” again.

Love your Docs use of that song as a metaphor LilMiss! That should be the LBT theme song!

LOL, yeah, picture it… you’re lying on the exam table with your shirt practically over your head and your surgeon is singing about eating trucks and cars.

He’s actually got a nice voice.

Dr. Huacruz.

Which explains a lot, IMO.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
