So, does the scale hook up via bluetooth to your phone or something? How does it record/track with app's and which app? If it links with My Fitness Pal I may just need to get this scale!
The water thing is definitely a struggle, and I understand it well. I still have trouble most days and I KNOW that's why my weight loss is going soo much more slowly these past 2 months. I have heard...
I also definitely recommend eggs, and beans. Though I will caution you that you MAY find egg yolk to be too rich post-op.
I was shocked when I realized I had to eat egg whites instead; I've...
Way to go Shirl!!! LOVE hearing that you're still losing and rockin' your sleeve 13 months out!
<3
<3 <3 <3
SOOO happy for you! Way to work your sleeve! WOW!!
(I am envious, totally. You've just motivated me to redouble my efforts on getting my fluids in, I think not reaching the fluid goal...
Yeah, I had trouble for the first 6 weeks ish. What I didn't realize was that my 'slow eating' was actually too fast. We need to take a FULL minute or even TWO between each swallow of food, and small...
Wow!!!!!!!
Here is a GREAT video explaining all you need to know. YES it's temporary and WILL come back in; and not everyone gets hair loss.
This is from Chemistry Queen, a great YouTuber who had VSG on...
I check almost daily if you have any questions you'd like to ask me. Some of my stats below:
I was sleeved 1/11/17 in Mx with Dr. Almanza. I am almost 42 years old, 5'3" tall. Prior to pre-op diet...
I, of course, can't tell you what is 'normal' for you. I will say that I think your body has been through a RIDICULOUS amount of trauma since January and is likely going to be non-typical in weight...
Congratulations!!!! That's Onederful!!!!
I've been doing the same thing; since long before surgery. I am working VERY hard to get through my social avoidance issues and it's one day at a time. I was a very social person until a few years...
I'm sooo glad for you Lisa!!! :)
I know your journey so far has been REALLY rough, and am thrilled to hear it's getting better/easier.
Hang in there!!! Keep up the good work!
I'm TOTALLY interested. Will you post a link for me? Or message me with where/how to find these tips? :-)
The surgery itself takes 30-45 minutes
SOO happy that your recovery is going well!
Welcome! <3
This is a great group of people, you've found a good site for support. I've only been here for about 4 months, so still feel 'new'. lol
Feel free to reach out to people as I have...
My understanding is a bit different.
Ghrelin is produced by our stomach, and when you remove 80-85% of it you remove 80-85% of the hormone. Your body/brain is used to that 100% level of Ghrelin,...
Definitely worth it.
The 'no straw' rule is to help prevent you from swallowing air, and/or taking too big of a swallow. The small straws are normally fine. I use straws and have zero issues.
You should post your questions so people can answer them :)
Hey Lisa :)
Sorry to hear that your stomach is still feeling sore and raw. I'm guessing that's due to the procedures you had to fix the leak, etc. Your healing process isn't done yet, I'd GUESS...
Yep. I'm 2 months out and my heating pad, electric blanket, and hot shower are my best friends.
Thank you for sharing that very personal story. I hope your son is able to 'get it together' sooner rather than later; I know I wish I had. <3
Keep up all the good work Shirl! I'm sure your son...
