    Re: True cheating- HELP!!

    Mate - that you'd even try solid food so soon after surgery is pure madness. Almost a death wish. To even get this far you've risked your life on the operating table already - ask yourself some...
  2. Re: I may need to break up our relationship. I didn't mean to cheat on my wife.

    You change something and those around you are obliged to change also - things are not the same and never will be. You are not the same. Having the courage to have the surgery fundamentally states...

    Re: Biggest Fear!

    I did not lose a single hair through the whole process. I put it down to following my nutrition plan to the letter. Getting protein, drinking clean fluids and a variety of fruit and vege options. All...

    Re: This was a major mistake

    From my experience and I'm 18 months out.... You can eat anything you like, just less of it. IF you are expecting to do that at 5 weeks then you are just plain crazy!

    Re: Nesting???

    Yep, I also took to getting my house in order. Some sorted deep seated desire to get prepared for change. Very normal.

    Re: Why can't people lose weight?

    I think that a lack of weight resistant exercise contributes to weight gain, or a struggle to maintain. We need to challenge our muscles to keep our lean muscle mass and thereby burn the fuel we...

    Re: What did I do to myself?!?! =/

    Ah mate - it's early days. Be kind to yourself, what is done cannot be undone and as much at that might freak you out I guess it is the same type of fear that first time Mum's face. Once the baby...

    Re: Weight Loss Expectations

    By the way - you start seeing results from the first day. Naturally there are stalls - but that is going to happen regardless of the procedure you choose.

    Re: Weight Loss Expectations

    I'm sorry but I do not understand your post. Why is it going to be quicker to lose with bypass instead of sleeve?
    I'm one week past my surgical anniversary - I have reached my goal weight. I'm...

    Re: Surgery tomorrow...

    I hear you. I had my 1 year anniversary over the weekend and it brought home to me how I felt just before the surgery. At this stage you are left with one option only. Faith. I recall that I had done...

    Re: I don't think I'm eating enough!

    I think swapping to a Greek yoghurt that is low sugar and NOT 0% fat is a great idea. My intake is about the same as yours over the day.
    I've swapped to coffee with skim milk - lots of milk and...

    Re: So nervous!

    Stick to the preop diet. As mentioned it is to prepare your liver for the upcoming surgery - get it nice and small and easy to lift out of the way so the surgeon can get to your tummy to do the...

    Yeah 5 weeks out is the hardest period. I hear you on all of it.

    Re: All most 4 weeks out and not losing weight

    Three week stall. Happens to everyone. Pop in some key words and there will be more info than you can read in a day. Messes with your head - so get prepared mentally.

    Does it matter how you got fat? I was menopausal - lost weight and put on weight. Post menopause I decided on the surgery.
