Best of luck!
Dr. Larson did my surgery. No issues. He is a good surgeon but not a hand holder. December will be 3 years, put on 10 lbs last month due to stress eating but have dropped 5 and hope the other 5 goes...
Once you have the surgery you won't be able to eat fast, no matter how much you want to.. Don't beat yourself up over it, it will not be a choice soon..
I do not get hiccups, never have, but I do get the strange "lion sound" when I am hungry, full or overeat... I have never been able to describe it, kind of a burp, but not... but I am coming on three...
I may not be doing it exactly right but I have not denied myself anything. I just can not eat as much as I used to, not even close. I can't finish a small cone now, it is great. I look at the soft...
I use it with carnation instant breakfast because I have never been able to do protein shakes. Works for me, was lactose intolerant after surgery and Fairlife milk is lactose free!
I have been taking pills since surgery, my doctor told me it was ok. NSAIDs are off limits, but everything else is ok, including my large multivitamin.
I have always had great hair, after sx I lot a ton of hair. I eventually cut it short because it was too thin on the bottom. Now, about 1.5 yrs later, I have my hair back, I still seem to loose a...
Hi!
I never could drink protein shakes, I have had the Carnation Instant Breakfast with Fairlife milk as I found I was lactose intolerant after surgery. Like you, I was on full liquids, including...
I drink the Vitamin water Zero, there are only two flavors I like. I drink 2 bottles a day a bit pricy but much less than my food budget pre sleeve. They also have vit B 12, I have never supplemented...
Sorry to hear you are going through all of this.. it must be very difficult.
Why can't they put another picc line in? It sounds like they want you to start eating?
I have heard that using deodorant in those areas can help. I used to use lomotol(sp.?) just like nystatin, to heal the areas, rubbing is a pain, literally. I am not sure I would use deodorant if the...
Thanks Ann, you have been a great source of inspiration!!
Best of luck, it is the best present ever!!!
Two years ago today, I had the sleeve procedure. I can honestly say that it was the best thing I could have done. It wasn't easy the first month, it took a while to feel myself, but once I did, it...
Are you loosing inches? Sometimes the scale does not move but the inches come off. I find that it is best to ignore the scale, especially when feeling obsessed with it. Today it will be two years,...
Katrina,
I am so sorry for all that you are/have gone through. It sounds like you have had a really tough time of everything and I have read all of your posts for some time now. I know you really...
I guess I am ashamed to admit it but I eat popcorn whenever I go to the movies. I always get the five dollar kids pack and can't finish it all. I really enjoy the theaters that have kettle corn, I...
"Over several hours" anything can be eaten.... Meals and snacks are recommended more than grazing. It is important to eat just protein first, a small amount of vegetables and then anything else. ...
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations!
I love your advice and have followed it happily since day one!
Thanks-
Michelle
Congrats Ann,
You have certainly been an inspiration to me and I look forward to hearing your wisdom, I especially appreciate your simplicity and honesty with this process. You have a few months...
Just take them whole. If you are questioning it call your dr and find out. If they prescribed the pills or capsules without further instructions, you should be fine.
