I just got a beautiful paint given to me by my daughter. He was a rescue from a kill pen. He rides wonderfully and is a glutton for attention. I have only ridden him once the day before having a knee...

If I were you I would make an appointment with a certified nutritionist. It sounds like you need to review and work on your diet. Do it now before your weight gain gets out of control. I have seen...

I am almost 4 months out and can eat 6 to 8 oz per meal. Take it slow and learn what your sleeve will tolerate and don't over fill it. You wont stretch it with one meal but continually over loading...

Save it and eat it as part of another meal. I am doing great with not grazing but I hate being wasteful.

Well I have achieved another of my goals. Jumped on the scale this morning and it said 299.8 lbs. First time under 300 lbs in many many years. I am just over joyed. This has damn sure been a...

I have to agree with Tinman about not expecting your husband to change his eating habits. We all chose this path and when our loved ones agree to support us why do we assume they will eat what we are...

I was told by my surgeon to wait one week

Nope

I had an easy time of it so far. The first few days it took a lot of work to get my fluids in. No problems with pain or nausea but my anesthesia personnel and surgeon stayed on top of both. I was...

Are you getting your fluids down? Sometimes getting those stomach acids diluted a little will help

I am sorry your secret was revealed. That should never happen. However I don't care who knows about my surgery. For starters I work in surgery and had my surgery done at the hospital I work at. So of...

I do the same with the water. My first time eating out after the surgery was on Easter. A group of nine of us went to an afternoon service and fundraiser and after everyone wanted to go to Golden...

Cutting back on my blood pressure meds was my biggest victory so far.

Well I am four weeks out today and down 43.4lbs. I have been taken off one BP medication and cut the dose in half on another. Each day has been a learning experience with this sleeve. I have really...

Good luck with your journey

I have been having trouble sleeping since the surgery. I wear a CPAP and according to it I sleep and average of 7.5 hours per night. Since the surgery I am lucky to get 5 hours per night. I'm not...

Thanks for asking, I am doing great. Spent one night in the hospital and no real problems to speak of. One of my biggest problems that is weight related is hypertension. I was on 4 BP meds before...

Can you ride a bicycle?

Mine recommends 1000 to 1200 cal once on full foods.

I'm only 2 1/2 weeks out so not a lot of experience with too many foods yet. I do know that potatoes are a bad choice for me. I also tried some cauliflower and broccoli that was a big mistake....

OK here is a little background. I am extremely hypertensive. I was on 4 blood pressure meds. This is what finally pushed me to have this surgery done. Well my B/P started down within a couple of days...

Fantastic job on the progress. Also Thanks for your service to your community
