  1. Thanks for the feedback, Kaye! I actually had my first 'ate too much of a bad thing' last night and got sick to my stomach... NO GOOOOD( I wasn't sure if it was a sleeve thing or a bypass thing but as Im reading, I think it's just too much for the little gal My bad! "Note to self... cheese it's are NOT on the post diet plan... I was half asleep and have a bad habit of going for the cubbard in the middle of the night! MAN, did I PAY FOR THAT BAD HABBIT!! Glad to hear you're doing so well!

    Hi Hippy Heart. I tried my best to do exactly what my doctor told me to do. I have been very lucky, also. I read where people have trouble eating, or they hate their protein shake, etc. The only negatives I've had are a few plateaus, and occassionally I'll eat something that doesn't agree with my tummy or I'll overeat and I'll throw up, but these are usually of my own making. This forum is a great place to be, by the way. People are always supportive and no matter what you are going through, someone had "been there - done that". It is very helpful. Good luck on your journey. I am sure you will do wonderfully. It has truly been a wonderful experience for me and I hope for you as well.

    eeeep... thank you, you are so sweeT!
  4. Hey Ever'bodies!
    It's Monday... scratch that... TUESDAY... aaaah, Tuesday, my nemesis... anyway, as you can tell, the pain medicine works well and makes one rather creative. However, I prefer NOT to be on it and to be able to pick up my sweet baby girl agian.

    None the less, I'm very thankful for what I went through even though this new eating program is a challenge and I find myseld having these little habits I didn't realize I even had. (Snacking as I'm making my daugthers breakfast or snacking as I'm making my own) It's all good, though. I'll get there. Using my tool to make a difference.

    The drain is a pain, I've named him "cedric the sucker" ... mosty because it's easier for me to feel compasion towards something with a name.... I'l' get through this. Thinking about everyone else and eager to become active in the community, again! Peace
  5. Hey, thank you!! I'm sitting here in the hospital doing well On an IV and the only spot that's really bothering me is where my drain is. Surgery went really well (knocking on wood Ill start sips of fluids tomorrow and just hoping I don't start to feel Ill. Even though its 230 in the am and I can't sleep because I'm accross from the nurses station, I feel really good! I TOTALLY HEART my surgeon.... I heart a lot of things right now, I'm kind of on dolatta (sp)? thanks, all, for the good wishes!

  10. Really happy to be here. Thank you all for your input, compassion and wonderful advice!
  11. I GOT APPROVED!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!)))
    HEY GANG, sorry no writie in so longie but I kind of gave up for a while. As it turned out, the previous surgeon's office had NO idea how to handle insurance. I LITERALLY spent at least ONE hour a day for the past four months, on the phone with Aetna, doing this girl's job!
    ...soooooo, I voted them off the island....

    I found a new surgeon, he actually did gastric bypass on our town's mayor and is highly recommended! AAAAND, AETNA said "YES!" I'm THRILLED but it's still kind of just sinking in....

    I'll hang out with you guys more, please tell me what's been going on with everyone??

    MUCH love and light, my brave peopley peeps!

Hey EVERYBODY!!! I'm 2 months, 1 week, 2 days and FORTY SEVEN LBS LIGHTER!!

by Hippy Heart on 11-18-2011 at 11:59 AM
... and hopefully I will never have a hernia again

Hey all, please excuse my absence as I've been recovering and trying to hold down the fort

I'm feeling much better since the hernia operation and am actually NOT having problems with hunger (at all, meh:/) However, I Do get sick if I eat too much or mix food and drink. (do NOT attempt this)

As far as this mysterious "dumping syndrome" goes, I've been fortunate enough NOT to have it. Which

E.R. trip Thursday night/ 2.5 weeks out from bypass,,, HERNIA!!:( ok... so I'm still in the 'what have I done' phase;)...

by Hippy Heart on 10-02-2011 at 09:12 AM
Hi all!
If you're reading this, then you probably know that I chose to have the full bypass as opposed to the sleeve. However, I befriended quite a few brave and kind people before I made this choice and really like it here on gastric sleeve.com My surgery was september 9th and here is my latest update.

This being said, I had a big scare Thursday night. I started cramping really bad after a 1/2 cup of pureed brussel sprouts and a feeling in my stomach as if I were about to

Yep, here it comes... the 'WHAT HAVE I DONE' phase...

by Hippy Heart on 09-18-2011 at 05:37 PM
I sure hope this is just a phase!

So this is day FOUR, since I've had my drain removed and I'm stuck in bed. I mean literally. My daughter has a fever and my husband is ready to make a run for it, I can tell I have toughness the surrounding area where the drain was and I think it may be trying to get infected. It hurts to walk, stand, move, cough... I got up at 8 this morning and was back in bed from 1-6.

Called the emergency nurse for antibiotics and more pain
