5DogMa, how are you doing now? (we have 5 dogs, too, btw, all rescues!)
Eight weeks out myself yesterday and down a total of 26 lbs, so you are not alone -- I exercise almost every day. It's still faster than I had the lap band and I know it's not coming back! Hang in...
How are you doing now? It's been more than a month since your post and we want to know how you're doing!
My arthritic pain was pretty bad this week and I did end up taking Celebrex two days this week, and it helped and I didn't get sick -- but the doctor also made it very clear I can't take it on a...
I had the lapband removed and the gastric sleeve done in one surgery -- if it's option for you, I would recommend it. One of my friends had her band removed in early March and has to wait until June...
LOL -- I sure understand! Yes, when I've been traveling, and staying in a hotel, I make coffee in the coffee maker, then stir in my vanilla protein powder -- with that, I don't need to add any...
Congratulations, Wendy, it's look like you've done fantastic! A year out and you're only 5 lbs from goal -- and thanks for letting us know about the diet soda, that's how I've been drinking it, too...
sugar snap peas are great! a touch of smart balance light, really tasty and satifsying!
I find it I let it go flat, then it's okay -- I really love Black Cherry Citrus Fresca. But I'm trying to limit it to 2 a week, 'cause I hear it is bad for your bones.
Yes, I had the same issue the first 2 weeks -- I felt like my engine was stuck in high gear, and I couldn't sleep -- it was pretty uncomfortable. But it does pass, somewhere during week 3.
I had the same issue! Pain for a whole month because of the extensive hiatal hernia repair -- I had to beg the doctor for more pain killers, and now, almost six weeks out, I can finally get by...
This is worrisome, you should be feeling better --- you need to be able to get some nutrition in, because otherwise you'll be headed into a downward spiral. Head to the ER, for sure! And let us...
I often feel nauseous too, but I'm only six weeks out and I'm hoping it passes...
It takes a while for the hormone Ghrelin to leave your body -- the first week, I dreamt about food that I couldn't eat. That does subside, so hang in there! A month out now, and the hunger pangs...
I'm finding the urge for sweet has diminished tremendously since my surgery, about 1 month ago -- it used to be, every time I went by a Dunkin Donuts, I would have to fight urge to go in and buy my...
YES, you can have dumping -- today, I started on soft foods and did pretty well until dinnertime -- my housemate (who is a chef) brought home some ribs and I made the mistake of eating one of the...
Today, I started on soft foods and did pretty well until dinnertime -- my housemate (who is a chef) brought home some ribs and I made the mistake of eating one of one -- oh, it tasted so good, but...
Wow, MSvtrn, you've lost almost sixty lbs in 6 months? How is your energy level? I'm just barely 4 weeks out and I'm hoping i have more energy soon.
Yes, me, too -- I had the band 4 years ago and last year, something went wrong and I was either too loose or too tight and miserable as my weight started climbing back up. I had the sleeve almost 4...
I found it definitely helped to take a nap, if you can, or at least rest.
This hasn't happened to me, but I was warned that if I didn't hydrate properly that it could lead to kidney problems -- especially with a high protein, you need lots of liquid to help the kidneys...
I'm just 14 days out today and struggling -- my belly still feels like i've been had the crap beaten out of it and then a truck ran over it. I can get about 40 - 50 grams of protein in, but the pain...
Polyethylene glycol -- need a scrip, but it's safe and effective and been a godsend!
Hi, everybody -- I had my surgery almost 14 days ago and I feel like my internal engine is running hot all the time -- I don't have a fever, I just feel cranked up -- yet, at the same time, I'm...
