Mine is 41. According to the Cardiologist if I go any lower it is pacemaker time. That ticks me off since I lost this weight I thought everything would get better. Turns out the diabetes has reaked...
I am 2 years in and I use the Bariatric Chewable multi vitamins from the Vitamin Shoppe. I also use the Sugar Free Bariatric Advantaage Calcium Citrate Chewy Bites 250mg. I take 2 of them a day. Do...
My Dr said it was not necessary so I didn't do it.
Hope you are feeling better.
Welcome and good luck. You will do great.
If your family knows about the surgery, they will be more than willing to help accommodate your new eating habits. Mine did not know about the surgery but when I went to visit and they saw all the...
Same thing happened to me on the height. I have always been 5'7 but they said I was 5'5. I think they wanted to raise my BMI. Lol. Didn't matter since I was a self pay.
Great article. Thanks.
Congrats!
I drank a lot of clear soups and broth. Get use to drinking a lot of water. 64 oz is the recommended daily amount. Good luck
I am 57 and the only side effect if you can call it that is that if I eat too fast it does not sit well in my stomach. I have vomited it up once or twice when I over eat. Just remember to chew until...
What you are feeling is natural. Check out how your clothes are fitting not how much weight you lost. Your body just had a shock. Give it time to heal. Walk as much as you can and sip that water...
I have to agree about the hydration. I get them as well from time to time. I eat banana's and drink more water and that seems to help.
Great job.
WOW. So glad you are well. As for the idiot, your response was on point.
Remember you shocked your body. It is going to stall and try to heal itself and get used to the new machine. The lbs may not be dropping but I guarantee the body is shrinking. Check your belt buckle,...
I won't say that my husband was not supportive but I will say that he would bring tacos home and I would have to ask him to stop offering them to me. Once he saw my dedication and my weight loss and...
Don't forget to walk. Even if it is down the hall. You need to get EVERYTHING moving. Keep sipping. Stay hydrated. Get as much rest as you can. Watch out for the "sharts" lol
Inspiring.
Thanks for sharing. You are an inspiration.
I am retired so I honestly can't speak to that. What I will say is by week 3 I had more energy than I knew what to do with. Take it slow and easy at first. If you can take 2-3 weeks off do it. You...
I was on Victoza and Lantus along with Metformin. I had the sleeve in July 2014 and was immediately taken off Victoza and Lantus. My A1C went from 10.5 to 6.5 and now I am easing off Metformin. I...
Best of luck to you.
You give me hope.
