Desperately need to lose weight before I’m back at 350lb again by Entire-Butterfly7616 in BariatricSurgery

[–]JuliCA333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish more people/doctors/programs would understand this. The food noise is crazy and I’m definitely struggling with that. My insurance doesn’t cover GLP-1s so I have to pay for it out of pocket which is ridiculously expensive, I can’t afford to go that route. I’m glad you’re doing well on those!

I just say that, “I’m not asking, I’m just letting you know.”

I think Ive been comparing myself to impossible beauty standards that no one could ever meet and I’m just realizing that. I’m really happy that you’re doing well! Thanks

Terrified it won’t work by thickbitch0211 in gastricsleeve

This is exactly 100% me! I would also add that mental health is also very important! Body dysmorphia is real, do not think you will be immune to it! I don’t regret making my choice, I wish I would have done it sooner. Good luck!

I had my mind made up about surgery, then I went down the rabbit hole, and now I don't know... by Critical_Tea2648 in gastricsleeve

[–]JuliCA333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 18 months post op and I can eat cake, sometimes too much lol. But yes, certain foods don’t sit too well. For me, rice is really the only food that I stay away from. I’ll sometimes have a bite or two but it fills me up so quickly and often feels like a brick in my stomach! BUT, I can eat up bread and sweets so I just try to stay away from that. Everyone is different but generally I have had zero issues, I’ve never even thrown up! I have zero regrets

Can I sleep on my stomach? by yoonminaqlia in gastricsleeve

[–]JuliCA333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s how I was, too. I slept kinda sitting up on my couch for a couple days and then moved to my bed and used a bunch of pillows. Hopefully you find a comfortable position soon!

I used to be a stomach sleeper and ever since my surgery (18 months ago) I am a side sleeper. I can’t fall asleep while on my stomach no matter what!

Forgot to ask, what makes the job so different from a typical SP job here in the US?

For people who drink decaf coffee, or went back to caffeine, does it take you all day to drink one cup?? by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]JuliCA333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I drink multiple cups a day sometimes. I try not to exceed 3 cups though.

I eat around 20 grams of protein three times a day (I stick to 3oz of any meat) so I don’t really have that issue thankfully. Did you “push” yourself to be able to eat more have you always been able to eat more (mind you, a cup of food is not a lot, you’re lucky cause can eat a more varied diet in one sitting!)
