    Re: Gastric Sleeve OR Gastri Bypass

    I can tell you that I was having pain and the tests showed that I had multiple gall stones. However because lots of people have multiple stones, and my gall bladder was not inflamed and I wasn't...
  9. Re: Saw my new surgeon C. Kennedy and love her! I AM SO READY...I HEARD IT WAS PAINFUL!!!

    I am ten months out and I can tell you that the pain is a very distant memory and very worth going through to have the surgery. The results are life altering and you will have your own roller coaster...

    Re: I don't know how I can do it

    Yep went the powdered drink mix route also before the surgery. Try sugar free popsicles to quench your thirst. It worked for me! Since the surgery I can only take so much of the powdered drink mixes...
  17. Re: 1 month Post-Op! 50lbs gone, and a trip to ER

    You are doing great! Chew your shrimp really well and you will be okay. It is my go-to protein and you can flavor shrimp and cook them in so many different ways! Good Luck!

    Re: Pre Op Diet - All liquid? Really?

    I had two weeks of liquid before the surgery. You can do it. Six months later it just seems like a distant memory! Sugar-free popsicles that was my salvation. Good luck!

    Don't worry about the slow down! You look great! Not gaining and maintaining is success! Your body may just be taking longer to adjust because of the broken toe thing. That is why we have to take...
  22. Re: Do you tell people that you are getting/got weight loss surgery?

    I've basically told everyone. It's hard to hide it when you drop weight so fast. Since I had my gall bladder out at the same time (which was one of the main reasons I went to a bariatric surgeon), so...

    Re: Confused...
