This is the type of thing that scares me to death. I am almost 8 months out and have lost 111lb. You think I would be happy, and I am, but I just hit Onederland and I have a feeling I am going to...
Some people seem to be able to swallow medications and some can't. For those who can't crushing is an option but be sure to check with your pharmacist first before you do it. Some pills are not...
Absolutely DO NOT go off your blood pressure medication on your own. For your safety, this is something you should only do with the advise and direction of your physician. Some blood pressure...
Oh Happy Days! It IS a really BIG deal. I too have been in what seems like a never ending stall. I hit 211 which is 100lb down for me.... but there I sat. I am now 207! Why? I got the 24/36 hour...
OK, I was 57 when I had my sleeve. I was in menopause. Two days after surgery, I was spotting. The week after I got home, full blown period. My surgeon told his nurse that I was the first to have...
It will get better. I had three C-sections and it was nothing like the sleeve. Why? I guess because it didn't affect the stomach. Once sleeved, you have a huge incision down the side of what is left...
I have had no problems whatsoever with artificial sweeteners. I mainly use them in iced or hot tea that I drink. Water is my other go to drink. Stevia, in my opinion, tastes terrible the first time...
Congrats on the start of your new life. I am twice your age and I started at 311. I am now down to 211 and wearing regular clothes. ( Well still in 18 W jeans, those non- W sizes aren't quite comfy...
Ok - this is my opinion and I will share with you because you asked. NO taco shells at 6 weeks out. You just had a major surgery even though you probably only see a few healing tiny wounds on your...
I would not even bother to ask about what individual people eat. The reason is that for everyone, it is different. What one person tolerates and thrives on, another person throws up. You have to...
I also have BC/BS of MI and will be interested in what transpires for others. The thing is, although I have lost 100lb so far, I am not quite ready for plastic surgery. And the other thing, I...
I tired it and it was terrible. I did mix the last of what I had with something else and managed to get it down. I really do not see how how these body builders eat and drink some of the things they...
Oh, and let me add. A pound or three may creep back and then go away again. Stalls are a reality. I have been fluctuating small amounts for the past several months. I will probably go back and forth...
Since I was a cardiac nurse on the telemetry unit where many of his patients are, he has known me for most of his practice - about 25 years maybe. I was a very bad patient I guess, having had heart...
Well, Tinman - you do have an different method than most. Who am I to tell you to do it different. I did discover that when I was finally able to eat something with a little fat in it, that things...
Hi Eileen! I have a daughter named Eileen. Yes, it is not good for you to be on the higher pressures of C-Pap if you do that need them. For one thing, it will dry out your mucus membranes and set you...
You can do this. Just be prepared that your first month or so is going to be awful on a few levels. But stick with it. That 100lb weight loss will be yours. Do not compare the time frame. You are...
OK Tinman - give up the protein secret. That is my biggest challenge. My hair is falling out.
That is me in a nutshell. Detailed posts. I will admit to being wordy. But for people who may have Doctors who do not really explain things well, I say things that they may not have been told. For...
I am 6 months out of surgery and I have lost 100lbs. That is right! ONE HUNDRED POUNDS!!!!! So, this is a message to everyone considering this surgery, afraid of this surgery, unsure of having...
I have not had this happen to me - yet. My best friend, also previously obese, started losing weight before me. She became diabetic as she was afraid she would so started the process and started...
Don't stress about this. Weigh only once a week as others have suggested. I think our bodies go into a "starvation mode" when we lose weight so fast. I had an early stall about 3 weeks after surgery...
No, I have not experienced this. However, do you still have your gallbladder? I ask this because many people who have had weight loss surgery, that still have their gallbladders, end up with...
That is absolutely wonderful. I am at 91 or 92lbs depending on what day it is. Looking forward to the century mark.
As nurse, you probably know that you can get flu ( a different strain of flu ) despite having the flu vaccine. The temperature is a bit worrisome. But I am afraid you may have misunderstood some of...
