I had surgery on a Thursday and returned to work the following Monday. I just sat in my office and didn’t really walk around the building as much. I walked very slow and had to take my time standing...
That sucks. I’m sorry to hear it isn’t going as planned. I’m sure everyone will tell you to keep and food log and see what you’re eating/how many calories. Creating deficits in your food intake and...
I had gastric sleeve in October of 2018. I still feel gross after eating. I just have light nausea if I eat more than a few small bites. It is short and maybe goes away after 20 minutes. I know I’m...
Have you tried the fudge pops popsicles that have very little calories and are fat free?
For sure get him in the doctor or get a med change called into the pharmacy. Many things can cause nausea. Stomach acid..so maybe a med he can take. Also a new nausea med. I always like Zofran that...
I’m impressed you could walk that much without passing out! When I started working out after surgery I couldn’t make it more than 10-15 minutes without having to sit down because I thought I was...
I did TJ. I used doctor maytorena. He operates out of the oasis of hope hospital. It was a much nicer hospital than the one my friend used. Everything was flawless from transportation to the...
Hi. Welcome!
Congrats! On getting it scheduled. That’s very exciting.
Thank you! Oh yeah. Best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I wish I did it sooner. Ask me anything!
As of October 18th it’s officially been 1 year since I had surgery. The year has flown by. I’ve lost 118 pounds. 264 to 146. I’m 5’9 so that pretty small for me. I thought my goal weight was...
The only reason anyone tried to talk me out of surgery was because I was having it done in Mexico. Like I didn’t do my research and was having it done on the side off the road behind a taco cart. Do...
That’s rough. But you always have people to talk to here.
Stalls happen a lot. I know so soon after surgery can be worrisome. But you have lost a lot in a short period of time. The weight will come off. try not to obsess over the numbers. The time will pass...
When you say digesting what specifically do you mean? Bowel issues? Pain when it going down? Vomiting?
It started for me probably 2-3 months after and lasted maybe 2 months. I don’t have bald patches or anything crazy. It’s just a little bit thinner. Nothing I can’t deal with.
Best of luck to you. Keep us posted with how you’re doing.
I never actually passed out. I would get super dizzy like I was about to and I would just sit down right where I was standing. This wasn’t right away after surgery. It was maybe two months after when...
That’s awesome! It’s only gonna get even better!
I agree with a pillow. I traveled for surgery. So I used it for the plane to hold against my stomach and on car rides. It really helped with any bumps. Make sure you have everything bought and ready...
Thank you so much!
Thank you! Yeah I went boating one time with my family and after taking like 10 minutes to get back on the boat, I never went again. This summer has been so much different. Best thing is wearing...
It’s been 9 months. Time has flown by. I went from 264 to 158. That’s 106 pounds! I’m 5’9 so I’m at a healthy weight. My BMI is 23 it was 39.Weight loss isn’t really on my mind anymore. I would like...
I had my gallbladder removed on 6/14. Friday I was diagnosed with dumping syndrome because of it. So much fun! Has any experienced dumping syndrome for any reason and taken questran? I was also given...
