Perhaps its because you've never gone through menopause lol
I agree with you 100% with this on the water issue. Water / liquids do not stretch the sleeve.... eating and drinking might but not
just water. So fill your water bottle up, or whatever it is you...
Ok heres my 2 cents cause I didn't read everyones posts lol solids at 2 weeks? Ummmm no.
What did your doctors protocol tell you? FOllow it to the letter (at least for the first 6 months)
Be...
As always you keep it all in perfect perspective. (especially the drinks part lol love a good cocktail at night!....actually discovered white peach cosmos over the weekend!)
I think that's great Touts..... I fall into a cookie bag or a chocolate bar every once in awhile but get the hell out before I drown! lol
I just read your post Tout and now that you've mentioned it - I've been having a rough time sleeping on my sides lately...... maybe I just don't have the 'pillowing' anymore like I used to lol If...
I must agree with you on the sugar issue..... I know when I've eaten a spoonful to much cause the next day - I want to eat a bag of cookies. I do not deny myself sugar or a small amt of carbs or an...
I look at it this way - Everyone has their own way of doing their sleeve. I personally have followed my surgeons recommendations and tweaked them where they needed to be. I do not get on the scale...
Texas Rose isn't it wonderful being a new healthy you! :) The weight loss is the bonus but the icing on the cake (so to speak) is being healthier than a year ago :)
Snowy heres my truth..... does anything last that we do not put a bit of thought and effort in? I was told I had 1 year to get my weight off - and I did. I am still 14 months out not particularly...
I very much agree with you Joe. Ultimately our surgeons/ bariatric groups know what the answers are. Sometimes the PC's just don't get it as was the case with my sister whose Surgeon told her to...
I am beginning to think that the NUT are not what we all need every step of the way. I went to 2 appointments with mine and after the second one - I knew I could never go back. She was uprooting...
Just to insert some 'personal thoughts on the topic' There are quite a few gastric surgeons in the states (New York being one of them) who will follow up with you if you provide clear documentation...
If I may slip my thoughts in on the topic - I am only 14 months out and have lost 100% of my weight - I have carbs but do not count them. I am however mindful that the slider foods can throw a huge...
wishing you a quick recovery and no more 'blips' on your journey!
Welcome and try to keep your nerves under control. This is a wonderful journey you are embarking on. My suggestion is - read and learn as much as you can.... go to all your support groups that...
Lee we are so similar in our weight journey! Just breaking those decade markers is amazing to me :) You are almost at your goal!!!!
Thank you so much :) There isn't anyone here who doesn't understand all the trials and tribulations post sleeve surgery. Fortunately it's like my friend Tinman always says - don't over eat and...
Trex that was exactly what I was going for with the table cloth lmao
Today marks my one year anniversary of getting my sleeve. It is hard to believe that one year ago I weighed in at 225 pounds and today am 125 pounds. I went from a size 22 to a size 4...... high...
Heres my personal take on this whole thing..... gastric is a walk in the park... This is coming from someone who had 2 C Sections :)
Well that certainly gives a solid perspective! Thanks :)
Thank you Lucky. I see you are well on your way too! I couldn't have done it without this site.
Ann I am over the moon lol I've never accomplished any goal weight in my life so this is worthy of a parade or something lmao This sleeve is awesome and so are all the wonderful people on this...
