You are awesome John. Thanks so much. I'm going to change up what I eat and see if it works.
Can you tell me what you eat in a typical day please? I want to see if I'm track. How many protein shakes do you have a day or week? I have not had one now for weeks. Am I suppose to keep it up?...
Thanks that is reassuring. I'm eating well and exercising a lot! Don't get how I could not lose 1lb. I was 224 preop now about 180 182. Good to know you are close. Stay away from the riots. Dumb...
I am 12 weeks out and lost about 42 so far. I still have 40 at least to go at 180! The last 2 weeks I lost nothing and I've been committed to working out 4+ days a week for a month!! Frustrated and...
I would love to go but no $$ have a blast!!
I am 7 weeks post op and so far have lost 35 lbs. I tolerated surgery very well and am healing fast. I was an insulin dependent diabetic as well as a few oral medss. I have not taken any meds since...
I too had my surgery at Pacific in Edmonds. I am 6 weeks out and 30lbs down. Doing pretty good. I have not been to a support group meeting yet but the nutrionist is helpful. I am still not quite...
Beautiful!!! congratulations! I am 30 down and want another 50. You inspire me! Thanks.
That is tough. Does your mom know you are having surgery? I know you want to help her but you also need to help yourself so you will live longer to be with your family. I have had a good recovery and...
I'm am not hungry very often but in order to get my nutrients should I eat every 2 hours even if I'm not hungry? I could go a long time between eating.
TXU I can understand your position. I only told a select few and no one at work. I don't plan to tell anyone at work as I am not close enough to any of them and this is a private matter. I did this...
Reading everyone else's weight loss, I was surprised to have only lost 5lbs in a week. grrr I know be patient but dang it I was hoping for way more :p
I'm at day 9 and doing well. I have had no nausea at all!! I tolerated the surgery very well too. My only real pain is at my esophagus where the tool really scraped it and is very painful. I just...
I'm not so afraid of judgment as I just want to be private.
I agree with what you are saying Grace and Buddy I really do. Obesity is a disease like cancer and we should not be ashamed to seek medical resolution. I guess I know the more we keep it quiet the...
Yes I knew it was outpatient. The dr says they do so many and the surgery center expertise make it completely safe. If no complications I'm sure you will do fine going home. I just slept most of it...
Do you tell coworkers you have had gastric surgery? I only told my immediate family and my BFF. I did tell people From work i had a benign tumor removed from my stomach. I hate lying but really don't...
They do the surgery outpatient but you go have to come back for fluids. Some people go stay overnight but it depends on pain level and if you have sleep apnea, which I don't:)
We are sleeve sisters! I'm not sure how much I lost yet. I get weighed on Friday. I have not thrown up once or had any nausea really, just a lot of gurgling when I swallow. I do have midline upper...
That makes sense thanks!
Thanks Jackie ! Did it also hurt with each bite of food? And by food I mean liquids like applesauce or broth? It hurts then right after is the gurgle. But at first it is just straight pain. Will...
I know it is part of it. I'm ok just really hurts feels better with pain meds. I just wasn't expecting the upper gastric pain. I know now that they put a scope down my throat too. Did not realize...
To all my NW sleevers I'm on day 3 and doing ok. Lots of upper midline pain just under the breast. Hurts to breath deep or drink or eat. Feel like I can only eat or drink a couple sips b4 I'm done....
It hurts to take deep breaths and even when I'm not eating or drinking. Hurts more when I go drink or eat up high midline just below breasts. Plus I hear all this gurgling. Lots of discomfort. Liquid...
Overall pain is much better today. I am still so bloated from the gas in my belly. Cant wait for that to calm down. I look pregnant. I had 6 port holes, thought there would only be 4. Some are way...
