I was Sleeved in 2018 and just had my revision to bypass this month. I definitely feel more ready this time, and my recovery time has been pretty fast. I'm not sure what my "get there" looks like, but I will do my research. I'm on Day 15 of being healthier and happier.
For YEARS I battle food addiction and still I hear myself make excuses. Now I’m 45 and I’m so tired of yesterday’s problems with food. September 9 2024 is my gastric sleeve surgery and I am so curious of how I can overcome this addiction. Counseling has helped get this change rolling. I know this is the right direction and the right path to my new normal. 🙏
I bought a Oster 1200 blender and has a function for smoothies .. it wrks great .. been drinking smoothies for about a month and my inflamation and my pain in my lower back went away ..
Thats one thing that baffles me is how can someone gain weight if they had not just the sleeve but the bypass surgery. They hectically have no stomach. How can the be gaining weight with an untouched stomach and still gain weight with no stomach.
19:53 Not gonna lie.... I was kind of hoping he was going to say "Bad Patient..... you have unlocked the code, you are a rebel and this maximizes your weight loss"
Ive seen ppl who had gastric bypass and lost NOTHING ive seen ppl who had it done and was on her 4th surgery she had lost and REGAINED each time the surgeon i went made you go to 10 sessions prior to surgery and 10 sessions post with a psychologist also see a nutritionist 3-4 times and attend a support pre & post surgery ive lost 230lbs but put back on 20lbs AND IT SCARES THE LITERAL CRAP OUT OF ME the way ppl treat you is so different after you lose the weight especially the men but im telling you food addiction is REAL they recently found the same gene tht trips in an alcoholic to reward them for drinking also TRIPS for coke ALSO TRIPS FOR OVEREATING ( university of Chicago research into GLP1 skingrafts to treat drug abuse 2022) look up the article so the 400lb heifer in church talking smack about a crackhead should SITDWN AND SHUT UP because their overeating gene is on same gene as crackheadci know my overeating began as reaction to abuse its self multalation i thought if i made myself ugly i wont be abused ( it didnt stop it) then i was in DV situation and continued to deal with emotions by eating ate myself to 380lbs @ 4'10 i had no neck i was miserable this is interesting to hear
This is so honest. Thank you doc. I'm 8 months out of WLS. Lost 50 lbs before surgery with IF and Keto. Lost 53 lbs in the last 8 months. In the last 42 months I've lost 103lbs. I feel great, but I don't want to fall off the wagon and get off track. I needed to hear this brutal honesty.
I had my pediatrician tell me with my oldest when it was time to get off formula that don’t worry about feeding my child milk…milk is for baby cows…not baby humans, so no need to force the milk on the babies! That was 28 years ago. So GO DR. V!!! Loving all your videos and keepin’ shit real!! 🙌🏻
I was stabbed and had to have a by pass surgery. I weighed 180 before now I am 145 . I always have been high active . I ride my bike about 4-5 miles a day. So I stay lean . I can’t eat more than my body will allow. How can I get back to 175 and have some muscle mass.
Wish I had told myself that everyday I’m more powerful than mt dew. I regret this surgery even though I’m only 15 days post I haven’t had but maybe one positive day so far.
Get a ribeye, mushrooms, peppers and zucchini. Saute the ribeye in butter, cook it 3 minutes each side. Take out the steak, add veggies. Saute the veggies as you fry an egg or two. Throw some cheese on those eggs. Cut up the ribeye, add it to the veggies. Sautee 3 to 5 minutes. Get a wrap. Eat. I love Dr. V, but that will just lead you to look like a meth-head post op.
Number 9,000 why not to get this surgery. I miss being able to eat/drink wish I had just gone to therapy or something and asked my wife to give me less on the plate. So over this.
I’m hungry just ten days out but that’s because I have a big hernia they couldn’t repair yet. So therefore my intestines aren’t up against my stomach is what I think is happening and why I’m getting hungry faster.
I hope to see in the near future this surgery is banned. I wish I had given exercise and better eating habits one more chance. I’m not a half ass person by no means but I’m the type that needs to eat more someday due to needing more energy. I’m over the having to eat a little then a couple hours later looking more food and or wanting water every twenty minutes. Can’t wait until a doctor can figure out how to give me my old stomach back which I know will have to be an artificial stomach. It’s no one’s fault but mine but it’s because families only know how to remark on peoples weight not ask do they want help.
