I feel like a new person. - like the person I always wanted to be.
I was sleeved in December 2010. I have lost 145 pounds, and feel fantastic. It has been a long journey, but was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I thought you might like to see a few...
At this point, the Oh Yeah! bars are the only one's I'll take.. They litterally taste like baby ruth candy bars, and have 26 grams of protein. Sorry, but Chocolate covered sawdust doesn't do it for...
I just tried th Oh Yeah! Bars, and they should be called Oh God! Bars. They really taste like candy bars
That's what my dr said, but I had no complications. I think they will say anything to get us to quit, because they think it's for our own good, even if there are no complications
I don't do cigarettes, only cigars, and don't inhale them, and haven't had adverse reactions.
I was in the same situation, but once the cat was out of the bag, I made sure people knew what I required for my needs and comfort. Those who cared, abided by my wishes. Those who didn't care,...
My Doctor, a great Doc by the way, told me I had to quit smoking FOREVER if I were to get the sleeve. I had the sleeve, and have done great with it, but I have always loved smoking cigars. I quit a...
Go for it! I had my abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) in February. The recovery was worse than for the sleeve surgery, but its worth it. For the first time in my life, I feel like a thin person, or at...
most of them taste like sawdust. The only one that actually is good and kinda tastes like a candy bar is called OHYEAH!!!! you can buy it at costco or online.
you have a goal.. you slipped.. get up and keep moving toward that goal. In the end you will have a much better, happier, healthier life. It will be okay.. just don't do it again.. until a month...
If you pay attention to your body, and don't eat past the feeling of fullness, it won't stretch that much. If you keep force feeding yourself, you will constantly throw up and stretch your stomach...
my BMI was high so I had to go 10 days liquid pre surgery, two weeks post surgery, one week of pureed foods after that, then I was allowed to take solid food in small doses. Im 16 months out and i...
wow.. wish I could go to celebrate with other "sleevers!" I don't think I can afford it at this time. between airfare, hotel and food, its just too much. Have a great time everyone!!!
be prepared for the fact that foods might not taste the same at first. Your taste buds need to adjust back to food.. Also, food texture will become more important to you. After a while, it will be...
yes, it is normal at first. I had the same problem, but as I got used to solids, it went away. you will grow in what you can tolerate. Just be sensitive to what your body is telling you that you...
don't worry.. everyone;s weight loss is different.. I didn't lose it fast, but I lost it all... slow and steady wins the race!
its good that there's no lifting.. you can't lift for 3 months. One week might be enough time. took me two to get back on my feet. Just realize you MUST take it easy. Talk with your Doc.
you need to get used to listening to your body.. when it says you had enough.. its time to stop.. even mid bite. Spitting it out is better than throwing it up. and yes.. smaller bites help. Best...
There is no normal. I've seen people lose weight faster and others slower than I did. Mine was not fast, but I lost it all and am at my goal weight.. slow and steady wins the race... you are doing...
I would check with the dr. I normally don't eat any rice for the reasons we all know, but I had some when I needed something that would be "binding." I did what I would have done without the sleeve...
Congratulations on your sleeve. the pain meds help alot once they kick in.. I had bad pain for the first couple of days, but after that, it was manageable. After you get back to solid food, all...
I first went to my Dr to get the lap band, but he explained all three procedures, and I chose the Sleeve. It was less invasive than the bypass, and had less complications than the lap band. I am 14...
I lost ten pounds on the liquid diet I had to be on for the ten days prior to surgery. A liquid diet will make you drop it easily. This forum is great.. its a place to go when you have questions,...
I flew to Europe three months post op.. I cleared my schedule to make sure I would be healed enough. I could have gone after two months. Flying was not a problem, as long as you are back on solid...
