Thank you! Trying to gather as much information as I can :-)
I'm 3 1/2 years past vsg and have just started having gall bladder attacks. I did not know what it was at first and now they are coming more frequently. I had no idea that I would have issues with my...
I was at total peace with my surgery. I set myself in a zone and just went with it. It was over and done with and I was home before I knew it with no complications. Best wishes to you all! Best...
Carbs. Ugh. Nutella is LOADED with them. Time to give up my new "crack". Thanks for the inspiration!

It does take awhile to catch up mentally. I am just getting there and almost a year out. Enjoy yourself and the liberation you feel as you experience life in a different way than before. HapPy...
Old habits are something we have to be aware of and fight daily. Dont deprive yourself of one little thing all the time, though, but be diligent! I, too, have been lax and have allowed myself to...
I've had those and sometimes still get them. Amp up your fluids but especially with SMART water or low sugar/no sugar sports drinks with electrolytes in them as Garystevanus said. If you can get...
I mourned food during my 2 week liquid diet and I hated people who NEVER had to watch what they ate. It just wasnt fair. I am almost a year out and almost 100 lbs gone. Food is still an addiction...
Loves right back atcha' Melissa!!! <3 <3 <3 There is a sisterhood here!
Right now you should be concentrating mostly on protein. I just started eating salad about 4 months ago but rarely do just because I need the protein. I had about 1 cup of salad from Olive Garden...
You will do amazing. Best of luck and be at peace. Prayers and fast recovery!
The body clock indeed. I had my period prior to and during surgery but my cycle sped up and my hormones started raging two weeks after. I noticed my disposition getting snappier and not very nice...
One of my favorite things in the last few months is digging through my shoe bag of shoes that I could no longer wear due to FAT FEET! Most of them are slightly too big but I am having a ball. I...
Easterbunny and Meshel2817: Best wishes and speedy recovery!!!! You both will do amazing!
So, before I was sleeved...I would step in my closet and look for something to wear. Nothing fit. Everything was too small. Weight problems! Now, almost 100 lbs later...I step into my closet and...
You are regaining your power. Way to go! Whether or not he deserves you, congratulations and great victory!!! Savor the moment!
I'm thinking gas too. I'm 11 months out and if I drink a cup of coffee too fast or something like that, I'll get those pains...they last for about 20 minutes but are VERY uncomfortable...almost...
It is hard to walk away from food. The "Clean Your Plate Club" has damaged us and left deep scars. My kids are allowed to leave food behind! It takes a while to re-train your brain from a lifetime...
Now you know. Sometimes we have to learn a hard lesson to realize things are completely different now. I ate eggs one week after surgery and never threw up but got foamies and was VERY...
Wow, I lose at a snail's pace compared to you! lol Congratulations!!! I am about 8 lbs away from my 100 lb mark. Cant wait to be in the same club as you!
You poor thing! I cringed at the thought of having a catheter following my experience with birthing my first child...however, they did it after I was knocked out and pulled it out the day after...
Start from the beginning...when you first got your sleeve. If you are like me, you've completely relaxed in your discipline and eat whatever you want only less of it. I need to get back to protein...
Food addiction is awful! My restriction works pretty well, but my brain is my worst enemy. You are not alone! Keep moving forward. You will be successful. It is a day by day battle and we CAN do...
It's hormones. I'm not bipolar but I act like it. And the chocolate thing. YES! My mind is my own worst enemy. I am going to have my hormone levels checked asap! :rolleyes:
