    Re: She did it the "right way"...

    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...

    Re: I love food but would love to healthy more

    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...

    Re: The phonies in the health care field...

    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...

    Re: Acid reflex

    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...

    Strange Pain

    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...
  9. Re: How much pain are you in after the sleeve surgery? BE HONEST!

    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 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...

    Sleep Apnea Question

    I have begun to experience some issues at night that I am wondering if anyone else experienced and can confirm my theory.

    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...

  19. Re: So how long did you wait afterward before you, ahem, got 'back to business' in the bedroom?

    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!!

    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...
