I only regret that I didn't do it sooner.....I am 7 months out. :)
Things I wish I had known before surgery: THIS IS A MAJOR SURGERY. It's not like the gallbladder surgery. I wasn't prepared to be that sick after surgery. I wish I prepared myself to go under a...
Don't worry. I had the worse recovery....I mean the worse. Lots and lots of issues. I couldn't eat, drink, I was vomiting and the other. However, 4 months after surgery, I am doing good. You...
any stool softener will do. fiber supplements help. good luck
I am taking biotin and I agree I don't see any different. I am still shedding. My nutritionist told me that it doesn't really help, but I just take it....
I stopped eating ground beef altogether. However, I tried ground turkey, 1 month in....and threw it up. I tried ground turkey, 2 months in....threw it up. And, tried it again, and guess what? I...
I had the worst time with feeling of food getting stuck. I can say that if I slowed down, ate smaller bites, and chewed chewed chewed, it was ok. I finally got it. However, I still have the...
I am 3 months and it does get better. During the first 8 weeks of postop, I had a ton of complications. I thought I ruined my life. I was depressed and hospitalized about 5 times. However, it...
wishing you a good recovery
sounds about right, but you could always try vanilla and see if there is any change
I had the same symptoms and I did throw up (a lot). Then I learned to slow down, eat smaller portions, and chew chew chew. I am still on soft foods and I am 3 months out. I am starting to add...
Today, I took a yoga class and then took a zumba class (back to back) :)
I had the worst recovery....I mean I had a lot of complications. However, I have to say that I wouldn't change it. I love my sleeve and my smaller tummy (along with my smaller size). I went from a...
My nutritionist told me that I should live by the 80/20 rule. If 80 percent of my life is filled with good nutrition and exercise, and 20 percent is filled with little guilty pleasures, then I have...
Hi Kristen, I've been eating 800-1000 calories for the last month. I am down 41.5 lbs since August 1. Yesterday I freaked because I ate 1200 calories -- but I exercise a lot -- kickboxing, zumba,...
that doesn't make a lot of sense -- I am a benefit manager, and having the sleeve surgery is surgery not a condition. Does she have underlying issues?
I scratched every day. My surgeon was annoyed with me because I kept scratching. However, it all seems ok now. I used Benadryl to control the itch. Good luck to you and try not to scratch -- the...
I'm only 2 months out, but protein shakes helps supplement my protein. I think when you are ready to come off of them, then you do. However, I work with a lot of GI doctors, who supplement their...
I think your post is very interesting because I've been battling depression and anxiety since the surgery. However, I've had all my blood work done and everything is perfect. I think in my case, I...
The nutritionist told me that weight loss will sometimes be slow, but if your clothes are fitting looser than you are still losing weight. She told me that sometimes the scale doesn't show a real...
Hello all and welcome!
Don't worry -- I had every possible issue with my recovery. Now, 2 months out, I am eating and feeling good. Have patience -- it will come. Good luck :)
that thought crossed my mind too -- I thought I wanted this? This afternoon, I feel better. I think we just need to keep praying. Keep me posted on your progress. My prayers are with you!
Yesterday, was hard for me too. I am 3 days after surgery too. I am having a hard time drinking the full liquids. I have so much gas. It's horrid. I think also, everyday, gets better. The...
congrats to you -- keep up the good work. you are inspiring
