I have speent so much time weeding through this forum to get pertinent info. Hope others think like me, whereas I'm looking for info on actual plastic surgery and not how long after weight loss...
I know we've gone over this before in prior forums, but I thought that I was invincible and was not going to lose my hair. Surprise, surprise, it started coming out about 4 months and I'm now at 5...
I have to take Prevacid every morning and it works all day and night. If I forget to take it though, my body tells me. After surgery, the heartburn was worse and the doctor told me to also take...
My weight loss has been very slow with many stalls, but continues to go down. I will lose 4-5 lbs in one week and then won't lose anything for another 3-4 wks, which is really discouraging when you...
I still feel hunger and always have post op surgery. But, like others have said, you don't need much to satisfy it. I'll have a cheese stick and it will fill me up. Also, I don't have wild cravings...
People who are small also get plantar fascitis. My sister weights about 125 and had it really bad. I also have it and mine got better before I lost any weight by wearing good shoes. Very, very...
Don't worry, all of sudden one morning you'll try on clothes and all of the old ones won't fit. I didn't buy any new clothes for 4 months post-op, and when I decided to buy a couple of new pants...
I'm jealous, I had to pay $1,500 out of pocket and then $500 for a non-reimburseable class, but it was still worth it and way cheaper than self pay. Once I had everything completed the approval from...
Liquid goes down a lot easier than food.
Kay is right about the 6 months of doctor appts. Make sure you start right away so that the six months goes by fast (I hated that waiting period). I actually gained 5 lbs during my 6 months, I'm...
Woo freakin hoo is right! Congrats!!!!!! It just keeps getting better and better and better as the weight comes off.
leesmummy, I don't think you were asking me, but I also had the same problems presurgury. In fact the dr tightened up my hynal hernia (sp?) while he was in there. So, I thought that I would come...
I definitely get physically hungry, but my tummy fills up easily. All it takes is a cheese stick and I'm good to go for a few hours. It's amazing how the cravings go away. There's only a couple of...
Tara, I wish I had some good advice but I feel just like you do. I even told my mom the other day, "forget the tummy tuck, I'm getting the skin taken off my arms first. I am wearing tank tops...
I would like to hear some responses on this as well because I feel exactly the same. I feel pretty good with clothes, but without, I see a just as fat person as before.
My nurse, who also had WLS, said that the heating pad was her best friend. I took her advice and used it all the time. I have one of those that I heat in the microwave. It felt so good to put it...
I was told by my clinic to take Miralax. It works great. I would put the powder in some crystal lite and you can't taste it at all. I still use it since I don't get enough fiber. Also, over the...
I love the compliments. The encouragement makes me even more determined to do this. Even though the surgery has helped me more than I can say, I still have to follow the diet I was given and make...
That darn ice cream! My worst craving is always ice cream. Sometimes you just have to eat it and go on. You've done really well so far, so you can't be hard on yourself, tomorrow's a new day. I...
I disagree with the prior post of being out of ketosis over 800 calories. The way to get into ketosis is by consuming very low level of sugars not calories. If you consumed 800 calories of pure...
Yeaaaaa, oh what a feeling! Congrats!
It is definitely a learning experience. Eat very slow and small bites. You will know when you get full. I get the foamies when I have eaten too much and know to stop right now when that happens. ...
I checked with the nurse after a week and she said I could have 1 cup a day and I did. I love my cup of coffee in the morning, it's like a treat to me and very glad I didn't have to give it up...
I was told not to count calories but to eat low carb food (no sugar and starches). I will sometimes estimate in my head how many calories, habit formed from many of years trying to diet. I'm...
Josh, I've lost just half my weight, 48 lbs and I already have lots of saggy skin in tummy, breasts, arms and legs, yuk!!!!! I was thinking of going to mexico, but now a little reluctant hearing...
