Is an awesome feeling isn't it, Scott. I remember when I first had my surgery and my wife hugged me one day and she got shocked then excited. She was shocked because when she hugged me her hands...
Welcome to the forum but more importantly welcome the "losers" bench. Do not get all caught up in the scale for rating success. You want to look for NSV's (Non-Scale Victories) for they will...
Relax. You are in the liquid stage and that full feeling will be hard to find. Do not stress the protein as much for the first week and make sure you DO NOT become dehydrated. Hydration is the...
Sorry to hear about the stricture but on the other hand you are doing great. It is amazing how much of a change I can see in your face. You look like a different person. Keep up the awesome job...
Congrats on your progress. You state that you feel better then when you were 40 that is 20 years ago and now you look younger also. What a great combination. Keep up the good work.
Forget the fact of the empty calories. The major concern with popcorn for the first six months is the sleeve of the kernel that so easily gets stuck between the teeth also can get stuck in the...
I went to Disney this last summer and I don't recall any special diet plans. I was able to find decent food choices in all the parks and even in the food court of the hotel resort area. They do...
Wayne I want to welcome you to the losers bench. For the first time in my life I was happy to be a loser when I had my surgery. Being a "loser" took a on a whole different meaning, LOL. Godspeed...
This is awesome. I thought I was doing good but you have my numbers beaten. I was 10.6 before surgery and since surgery I have been 6.6 and my Endo is happy. I bet he would wig out if I was a 4.6....
This goes along with the mantra that I live by, and I have seen others say the same thing. It really doesn't matter what we eat as much as NEVER, NEVER over eat. I can eat 6 ounces of steak with no...
I don't put a whole lot of faith in others comments. I really don't care what they say or think about my journey. I did this to be healthier. I will tell anyone that acts interested or that...
Might be time to have them check your A1c. After I was sleeved I was taken off all my medication for the first couple of weeks of liquids and then when I stared eating pureed stage they had me...
5 days for this man also. I had to make sure that the wife was satisfied before I went back offshore. Didn't want to leave something turned on at home. Just be careful and if any pain try a...
YES. There was a person on the forum at one time that said they woke up in recovery with stomach still intake. The liver was rigid and couldn't be manipulated safely. So the Dr. closed them up. ...
Olivia,
I have lived my entire life around the medical field and was even in it at one time. I will say that you have taken a very big step just by speaking up to us here in this forum. I have...
Melanie,
Once again you poured out your heart and soul for us here on the forum. You have really come out of your shell lately and I for one am happy about it.
For the OP, and this is just...
I was drinking hot fluids the day after my surgery. They gave me broth at the hospital. Right after surgery we were given ice chips the same day. So hot and cold are not an issure. It is the...
The thing that many people fail to acknowledge is this, "We have 2 ears and 1 mouth, we should LISTEN twice as much as we SPEAK" just saying.
You want to hear the funny part? It is when I am offshore that I do most of my posting. When I am home I am so busy with the new found energy I have from weight loss that I am to busy most times to...
Sorry Toopie if that sounded like I was pointing you out. What I was trying to say is that Material things will not make a relationship better for the long term. In my first marriage I had just...
I am offshore so I will have to see how much my wife brought in this year. She said she was prepared for it but no trick or treaters showed up. I asked her if she turned on the porch light...she...
Great job!!!! Just make sure you dont lose the other half, LOL.
I think about the ugliest discription of breast was, They looked like tube socks with a roll of quarters in them.
The decision is ultimately yours and your surgeon to make. I would say that IF you are leaning toward the sleeve and find that it does not do what you need it to that it can be changed to a bypass. ...
