I would agree with Sonja about being colder. I am always cold. But have been told in support group that this should change with time. In the mean time I am still wearing my jacket most of the...

I am only a little short of 6 months, but we have several in our support group at the hospital who are 18 months to 2 year out. And they still come to our month support group meeting. They all look...
Don't know, but wondering about the too. We did hear in my WSL support group at the hospital this past month that you have to have a stable weight for 12 month before the will preform the surgery. ...
NOT AT ALL!!!!!!!
I was heading for an RNY all the way up to the final console. I am very happy I changed!!! No dumping, still can take pills for my meds, and I have not changed my body that...
Sorry ladies, I'm not seeing anything about the lack of ghrelin affecting one's sex drive in the Medical articles on-line. I would say, party-on!
You need to be taking supplements & vitamin the rest of your life. Your going to have to make this just part of your new routine. Your engery level is from the B-12 and is only obsorbed in the...
GREAT words barrbdoll!! Loved your posting.
No regrets here either. It is very normal to be nervous before any surgery.
I am 21 weeks out now and I eat around 2-3oz of Protein & 2-3oz of vegs or fruit for 2 of the 3 meal everyday. Either lunch or dinner will just be 2-3oz of protein. I have gotten pretty good at...
Would someone pick my jaw up off the floor? Girl, you look INCREDIBLE!!!
I had a lot of plain Greek Yogert with honey in it. Clear soups and my protein shakes. It was no more then a 1/2c and most of the time I could not finish it.
I had baby food during weeks 3 & 4...
That's wonderful! Congrats to both you and your hubby!!!
Congrads on the surgery and recovery. I also echo the water retention factor. I come home 20lbs more then the day I had surgery. All of it was water weigh and came off very fast once I was off the...
The left side pain is usually gas pain from the inflation of the stomach during surgery. Walking should help to relieve this pain. If not, then it is something else going on.
As for the acid...
You have to do what is right for you. Most folks do not understand what the WLS is all about and have not done the research to ever understand what it is your about to undertake. My wife as also...
Last week at our monthly support group meeting we talked about that very same topic. Our Nut told us that most VSG will stop losing weight around the 3 week time frame for a couple of reasons. ...
I had the time and took 5 weeks off and glad I did. Yes I had to go out and get a new set of cloths also as I had dropped 2 sizes in pants and my old ones where just falling off. But it sounds like...
I would say in the first week that would be a little early to try refired beans??? The first 2 weeks is pretty much a liquid diet. You don't want to rush the healing process of the sleeve.

Welcome Kasey. All the best for you on Friday! We will see you on the other side.....
tempred, I seem my Nut yesterday and we looked over my food logs for the past 2 weeks and I was ranging from 800 to 1000 cals. But nothing seems out of the ordinary for Sat Fat levels or carbs. So...

Wow - someone else with a higher triglycerides in the first blood work after surgery. I'm not alone........ Mine came back also with a higher triglycerides which I have never had before. I had my...
Yep, that happened to me too. It took 3 1/2 weeks to clear up and I had to clean it out twice a day myself and repack them(which was not fun). They cut open 2 of the insicions to let them drain,...
This sounds like when I had 5 bites of pena pasta. Oh my god, what pain. Have not had a bite of pasta since. And I love pasta!
We all have to live a learn what our new bodies will do when we try...
