Hi, My birthday is next week too, 24th. There are two different pre op diets the supervised diet which is an insurance thing I think they want to see how determined you are. The second diet typically...
Caffeine dehydrates you.
Thanks all, I can not remember the last time my stomach didn't stick out further then the girls. And to think I use to think I looked good in that suit. I am still pimching myself that this has...
One year out and 70lbs down!
I agree no one will notice and if they do they will just think you are dieting. This whole issue is one of my pet peeves if an alcoholic or drug addict goes in for treatment everyone applauds and...
You should call your surgeon of PCP. Sometimes people develop a hernia or a stricture from scar tissue. Sorry you are going through this.
Another thing is that if your scale was always a little off b a pound or two it can get more off the more you lose.
Hi, I was lucky to have minimal hair lose at my last visit the nurse said that once the rapid weight loss slows down around month 6-7 so does the hair loss. You start to notice the fuzzy new growth...
With the roux n y there are issues with malabsorption which does make many look sickly then there is the age factor. I imagine your mom is close to my age (55) as we age we lose out fat pads in...
You still are early in the sleeve journey I won't make any major changes just yet but you guys should definitely try counseling.
Frank, You are doing great!
Hi, I have lost about 70lbs. A lot of it depends on your age I am 55 so there is less elasticity ;) Working out and building muscle helps. My boobs are pretty pathetic looking I've gone from a 40c to...
Water aerobics are great for troubled joints. I am eleven months out and do take aspirin and motrin from time to time but I did not try it until I was six months out and well healed. You can also...
Thanks all. This time last year with surgery still three away there is no way I'd believe my arms would fit the sleeves let alone the whole dress.
21 years later and it fits again! Thank you sleevie.
Same thing happened here it is the best money I ever spent! 11 months out 70 lbs lost at goal BMI 25.5 no more blood pressure or cholesterol issues! The pain isn't that bad the first week for me felt...
I would definitely go through the appeal process. Legally speaking I'd would think they would be liable if something were to happen to your health that is weight related while they wait a year before...
I am a walker I walk 2 hours with hills 5 days a week and walk my dog every night for 40 minutes about 2 miles.
The heating pad is a bit much. You'll some good soled slippers to walk in,a robe, pj bottoms or men's boxer shorts or loose fitting pants to wear under your hospital gown when you walk the halls, a...
It is frustrating to say the least I was in a similar position last year after my insurance was declined but we still made it happen and you will too. You may want to look into surgery in another...
Oh and unjury makes a chicken soup flavored protein I mix that into strained chicken noodle soup you have to be sure the soup is below 130F or the protein turns into this curdled mess.
What I like to do is make some sugar free pudding and add a scope of chocolate protein and then add half a cup into my chocolate shake. I also use Hood's Calorie Countdown chocolate milk to make the...
Hi, You have lost 27 lbs in less then four weeks have you ever done that before your doctor is going to say good job. I averaged 10 lbs a month even with all the stalls. My weight would bounce up...
I am a big fan of unjury they also have a chicken soup flavor that I would mix into strained chicken noodle soup (you can not have the soup any warmer then 130 because the protein globs up) the...
