I have encountered this once ... about a month ago. I was at my health club and a guy I used to see there from time to time, but hadn't in months, saw me and commented on how much weight I had...
Very common ... my surgeon and his staff often refer to this as 'Last Supper syndrome'. I snuck several foods down the stretch of my pre-surgery liquid diet for this very reason. Just try the best...
There are good and bad in every profession, but I think the criticism of health care professionals on this basis is not really fair. I've heard it before and it never made sense to me then, either. ...
Tough call, depending on how important the business meeting is to you or your employer. Everyone responds differently to the surgery. Talk to 10 sleevers, and you'll likely get 10 different...
Diane I completely understand where you are at right now. I too decided against Bypass due to the risks and complications. Weather it was dumping syndrome, malnutrition, surgical complications ......
I never had an issue with it pre-op, but did post op. My surgeon explained that this is very common in VSG patients due to the small stomach left behind and the increased pressure in it as a result...
I'm quickly approaching 2 months post op, based on my experiences so far I think:
1) You will get your appetite back ... mine started coming back at about 6 weeks post op.
2) While I haven't...
6 Weeks out of surgery today, but encountering 3 things that are concerning me. First off, I've hit my first stall. 4 days and am stuck at 68 pounds lost. I'm not overly concerned, but it's...
As everyone has said, everyone's experience is different. In my case I experienced very little pain beyond the gas pains everyone gets. I took no morophine in the hospital, and took the liquid...
I know what I am about to say may not be supported by many here, because it doesn't follow the 'By the Book' approach. And by no means do I mean to come across as any kind of expert, or claim that...
Obviously, it's best to follow your doctor's orders. Having said that, I doubt you really did anything all that dangerous, though you might want to consult with your surgeons office if you have...
i knew it!! :( ... ;)
I didn't stall in the 3rd week, but I definetely slowed down. On the diet progression my surgeon uses, this would have been the 2nd week of pureed food. When I moved into week 4, which is the first...
I also have the sneezing problem in the morning too ... I didn't really equate it with CPAP til now. My doc did say that he would likely switch me to an adjusting machine sometime after surgery. ...
I have begun to experience some issues at night that I am wondering if anyone else experienced and can confirm my theory.
I have sleep apnea, and it had gotten pretty bad over the last year or...
If you are like almost everyone here, every weightloss success we have ever had in our life, has ultimately been reversed, and you wound up weighing more than before you started. For me, this...
Morning is the only time of the day that I believe I experience true hunger. By that point it has usually been 12 hours or more since I last had anything to eat, so it has always made sense to me...
I went to the Gym for the first time last week and did 30 minutes on a stationary bike, and finished with an average HR over that time of 148. Felt fine when I finished. However, when I went to...
10 Days for me ... but could have done it 5 out ... my luck being what it is though, I had no choice but to wait another 5 days. Amazing how much better it is already though, for both of us!!
I may be the only one to post here that i'm losing my boobs, and am damn happy to do so!! No more 'mansierre' for this guy!! :p
Exactly the same for me. The only time I feel hunger is in the morning when I wake up. Once I get a little cream of wheat and yogurt in, I'm full. But it's behaviorally triggered cravings that...
Congrats on your success to datee! That is fantastic! I don't know if it's 'normal' or not, but if your surgeon is pleased, than I think you should be too. I am down 42 pounds (25 lbs during 2...
Best of luck to both of you today! Can't wait to hear how you're both doinig!
No, that doesn't make you girlie at all dude ,... However, if you post a picture of yourself in the new suit, and then ask us 'Do I look fat in this?' ... THEN, we may need to revisit 'Girlie'...
Interesting you posted this today. I was sleeved on the 12th and Last night I watched 'Blue Velvet' before going to bed and had an absolutely horriffic nightmare starring Dennis Hopper shortly...
