Speedy Recovery to you Sam!!
Stress Test & EKG here...and I didn't have to go to the cardiologist for it. We have a "lab" where they do diagnostics and they did it there.
I did 1 week of liquids, 1 week of "heavy liquids" and 1 week of "soft foods" before I started eating normal food. the week of "heavy liquids" which is supposed to be the yogurt, cream based soups,...
Why the issue with specific grapes or types of wines? We make our own wine and brew our own beer, so I'm curious. Also - on the subject of carbonation - I'm very fortunate - since we keg our own...
Sending prayers and healing thoughts their way.
I always sat with my family - whatever I was eating, I ate, and they ate their dinners. Now that I'm back on normal food, I just eat a much smaller portion. I also find that since I'm the one that...
I choose the sleeve over the gastric bypass for the pure reason that I WOULD be able to continue a somewhat normal lifestyle, just at a much smaller portion. Yes, I understand that if I eat crap,...
I'm thinking Ruby Tuesdays. They have such a nice salad bar. and yes...it is a little like food porn. ;)
You are doing great! Yes, we all see it in your face - but look lower - you have a WAISTLINE! I am down 37 lbs and felt the same way - until I went and had to try on some clothes - and realized...
Lane Bryant will also measure you, and they often have a clearance rack. They might be weird colors - but you know you might not be wearing it long, so it's all good, right? If you have previously...
Ooh - I'll have to check out the FitnessPal app. I'm currently using MyNetDiary on my iPhone. That works really well, but but having the bar code reader option is cool too!
I am also a stomach sleeper - and found I was sleeping mostly on my stomach after 3-4 weeks - my incision above my belly button was about 2 inches long, and that incision hasn't healed quite right -...
Happy One Month! I just celebrated mine and lost 29 pounds!
I was the same way - out of necessity. I am very lactose intolerant, and was supposed to be on heavy liquids for 2 weeks. Well, that's mostly ALL DAIRY! I started "pureed foods" a week early. I...
I am with you there! I'm struggling with this same problem. My brain after a month still has not caught up. I find that I do better on the days that I remember to drink a protein shake twice a day...
Another trick if you are eating out and have to order a normal sized "meal" - as soon as the food hits the table, ask for a box right away - don't wait until the end. I have found that if I...
Lily is our 4 year old Basenji.
The negative always outweighs the positive when it comes to people's opinions. The same thing happened to me - but it was to my hubby. He told a couple friends of his at work how excited he was for...
Diane - that is a great idea - doing something every hour - I think I will try that tomorrow and see if that helps me too!
I had a similar experience. I called into my doctor and they said that if it was just red but not "oozing", to put a hot compress on it for a bit. Essentially, that will either draw infection out...
I have a magic bullet and that has been my savior for the "pureed foods" portion. I was told I could do canned chicken, a little mayo and some mustard in the food pro for "chicken salad". It's not...
Lip balm and hand cream were definates!
baggy shorts or pj pants to wear under your gown if that helps you be comfy
mouthwash (I wish I had brought that for my surgery....)
phone (AND CHARGER)...
Jess, I just did the sleeve on the 29th of December, and I feel great. Honestly, the hardest part for me is the weight lifting restriction I'm still under from having the surgery. I'm healing...
I had mine done on the 29th - congratulations & welcome!
