Forgive yourself ( we all have or weakness and down faults ) and get back on track. What I do when I want carbs or think I do I buy a bag of Quest protein chips. They have about 110 calories and <5...
I wanted the lap band at first. But after talking with my doctor we both decided the sleeve was the best option. I too didn't want a bypass I just think with that comes a lot of problems from people...
Congrats hon, That's what im eventually going to have to have. Arm lifts, thigh lifts and the saggy skin from my belly removed. Hopefully my insurance will pay for the tummy. Plus I want a breast...
It doesn't feel like a diet to me. It helps me learn portion control, something I had a very hard time doing. It has taught me how to eat right and exercise. I love this wonderful tool.
I am over 19 months out and I'm still losing weight. So just because you get further out from your surgery doesn't mean your weight loss wont stop. I shook up my routine. I decreased my calories and...
Since my surgery I gotten to where I don't like meat, Im not sure if its just the texture of the meat or the taste of meat. Yes yes yes I know I need to eat food with protein in it and I do for the...
I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any place that offers protein gummies or is it even possible even if you can make them yourself?
I'm just so tired of the protein shakes. I don't like Unjury...
I had to see a cardiologist before I could have the surgery, plus see a shrink. But other than that I was good to go. But then again I paid for my surgery out of pocket
Having the sleeve has helped me more than I've ever thought it could. My body is healthier than its been in 20+ years, and I still have a lot of weight to lose
From what I got from my doctor The DS is kind of like having the bypass after you've had the sleeve . And he told me to think about it after I had the sleeve. I don't want anything like that. Where I...
You will know when you're full......I have nausea and feel like m about to vomit. Plus you get that uncomfortable feeling
We all learn from out mistakes. But sometimes I will eat a piece of bread when I make a tuna sandwich. But I use just 1 slice and I count the carbs from that into my daily allotment of carbs. We will...
My doctor told me to start taking pictures of the rash and sores that I get under my stomach and boobs. And the insurance will pay for it because it interferes with your quality of living.
That's amazing. esp. for the lady who lost 200 pounds. When im done I would of lost that much or alittle more
Im just curious. I know insurance won't pay for that since it would be considered cosmetic. So how much would something like that cost and to have the flab on the inner thighs
Awesome. Maybe we can all meet up and just exchange storys and success?
I am in Texas, Austin to be exact and I too was self paid..and for everything involved I paid about $10,000 but was so worth every penny
Anyone in the Austin area wanting to meet other sleevers to just talk and meet new friends?
My doctor also wants me to wait at least 18 months before I have any surgery. I guess this is so that you have lost the majority of your weight.
Usually you can get your insurance to pay for the excess skin removal but you need to know WHAT the insurance company considers a medical necessity that affects your quality of life. My doctor has...
My surgery was maybe 2 hours I think and I stayed in the hospital for 3 days only because my sugar and blood pressure and pain weren't under control..the surgery went well....good luck with your...
I guess im not like the norm then. because my hair isn't falling out. And you would think being diabetic that would be a point against me there...But its been 6 months since my surger and i haven't...
I weigh myself once a week.
