I don't make as much home made food only because it ends up tossed. I do eat Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisine type meals. And then i only can eat half of one of them. Fourth of July is coming up and...
I "mourn" the loss of appetite and joy of eating, but I "celebrate" the lost weight and gained health. It's a trade off of sorts.
I am 3 months out. I have lost 40 pounds. I have dropped at least 2 sizes. My tastes have also changed. I don't crave sweets at all. I still can't eat very much in one sitting. My joints feel better....
Congrats on your progress. I am also 3 months out. I have lost 40 pounds. I have dropped at least 2 sizes. My tastes have also changed. I don't crave sweets at all. I still can't eat very much in one...
I am involved in church, Red Hat, retired teacher groups, bowling, Zumba, and much more. But it sma inv how many of my activities at some point involve food. Luncheons for instance. Bus trips too....
I try to focus on other things like exercise, arts and crafts, family, friends and other activities. Food is about 10th on my list. I have a daughter who is trying to start a family and i focus on...
My band/sleeve resection was done March 27 so I am out almost 7 weeks. I am below 200, my first goal. My next goal is to be overweight, not obese. Then my goal is 150. I have followed all the dietary...
I just drank the poison. For the first time in 6 weeks I had a few sips of Coke. (I was not a big soda drinker).The thrill is gone. I ate 1/2 a small piece of Domino's pizza. It was OK. My brain and...
I am sitting here eating a bowl of Wolfgang Puck potato soup. Pricey but good. Can't eat half a can. Drinking grape juice. Sick of tea. Haven't had a Coke in at least 6 weeks but actually don't miss...
I have become the queen of doggie bags. Seriously. It takes me 2 days and then I still throw half away. I am wondering if somehow my esophagus narrowed. I see my doctor next Thursday for 6 week post...
Is this normal? I also have had a cold a week after surgery and now getting over strep. So throat was bothering me. But I still can barely eat a quarter cup at a time, total of anything. I had the...
That was my diet too. I am now a month out... Hurray! Getting protein from chicken and other real food now! I'm down 25 pounds but the loss has slowed. Still can't eat more than 1/4 to 1/2 cup total...
Oh, and I am now wearing a new pair of pants from Dress Barn...size 16! Down from a 20. :D
I have moved on to the soft food stage and can finally get real protein...welcome back meat and potatoes. I have lost about a pound a day so far, but I would guess that may slow down a bit now. I...
I had 7 year old band removed and sleeve done March 27. Band had hernia. Glad it's gone I have lost 25 pounds so far.
It's a year later...how are you doing now? Dr. Ceppa did my surgery on March 27 this year. I live off 222 south near Mohnton.
So my band has been out along with most of my stomach for 18 days. The band caused a hernia. Not surprised. I'm glad it's gone. I have recovered pretty well and still eat like a bird. I hope my...
I'm surprised he did the surgery.
My insurance company almost didn't cover my band-sleeve revision as my BMI was just under 40. But then they did. I am 2 weeks out and have lost about 17 pounds. I can hardly eat a thing. And I have a...
Not sure. My throat felt funny for a few days too. Maybe from the tube in the throat during surgery? Anyone else have an idea?
That band gave me discomfort for 7 years even when not filled. I wonder if the hernia, which was not discovered till the surgery, caused the discomfort. I have had 3 sections (1979, 1980, and 1988....
I had the band (ugh) in 2005. Glad it's out. I had a hernia with it. Sleeve done 11 days out. I had some gas too, stillhave some but no longer in my shoulder. Just down below. : )
Congrats! Some people do stay extra days. I was in 2 days. My main problem was not pain but nausea. I warned them, but I still had it. I am 11 days out, and can still hardly eat anything in one...
I am 9 days post op. Here are my docs recommendations: Day 1 (surgery) and Day 2 clear liquids (water, Crystal Light, SF Koolaid, decaf coffee/tea, low fat broth, diet Jello) . I was in the hospital...
