AMAZING!

Go back or to another pcm, bring a notebook of your research and present your case. Point out people die of obesity related conditions too. Very ignorant of her to spout that out!

All of you please be KIND to yourselves! You just had major surgery! You are going to feel ucky for a while yes, No pain,, no gain, ( in weight loss that is:) ) I tried to just think of every discomfort as the price I was willing to pay to get healthy. I kind thought of it all as proof I had done the right thing. Don't wake up at night to just to sip. You will be fine overnight without liquids. I promise each day gets better! Soon life with your sleeve will be the norm and you will be rocking the numbers on the scale!

Thanks! I surprised myself! I just got into a zone and pushed myself. I refused to walk the hills, to embarrassing in front of those sleek advanced riders :embaressed_smile:

I rode 35 miles today in a bike a thon! me at Tour De Cure!

5 hours! AND i am working an 8 hour shift due to end at 11 tonight. I think I will sleep good!

Oh PS, I am the one in Orange and Grey!

In the Morning I am riding 30 miles in a the Tour De Cure! In celebration of reversing my pre diabetic condition with the sleeve I am riding in honor of those who have diabetes! I AM SO EXCITED! A year ago I would have never even got on a bike, let alone in a bike a thon!

Congrats! Keep up the AWESOME work!

Doctors are just people with opinions, sometimes not educated ones. My doctor did not have a clue what VSG was and kept pushing the lap band on me. Glad I did my own research. Get your surgery done and then go back and WOW this doc!

Both non exertion sweating and ankle swelling are a thing of the past!

Don't fear advancing, just be sure to chew chew chew and go slow. You will be fine and not cause any problems to your new tummy!

I tried it, was not impressed with the flavor. I am currently stuck on Diet Snapple Raspberry tea.

I think it boils down to height/weight ratio and health status. The most important thing is that it allows you to keep it off!

I can say honestly I have ZERO regrets! I am living life and loving it now! It is only a tool, you have to be committed to change and health to make it work for you. For me, I wish I had done it 20 years ago!

Bariatric advantage, premier protien shakes from costco and Maxx... all have under 2 carbs and about 30 grams of protien.

I have not had nausea with my TOM but it has changed a lot since surgery. Pimples, worse, cramps etc. When we loose weight the fat that is burned releases lots of stored estrogen. I hear that it balances back out as the weight loss slows down.

My Nut fully endorses one protein shake a day. If you are using a high quality one, like Bariatric Advantage or similar in ingredients and nutrients it has to be doing some good for us! I am not and never have been a morning eater so my shake saves me, starts my day and my metabolism.

My biggest complication was a noisey stomach! I feel lucky, but I have to say I have had zero issues post VSG and I am a very happy camper!

I know this is in the Man's room, but I thought I might answer you. I would say about 6 weeks I was able to swallow liquids without really thinking "about" it. I am 7 months out now and I still have to watch swallowing liquids when eating. There is only so much room but hey, that is the whole idea of surgery right??? I will take the trade off!

:bananahuge:

I thought your pictures are eye candy We are our own worst critics!

This is perfectly normal. I wish the docs were more honest about the first 2 weeks but the fact is it easier to say what you "should" do vs what is possible when they preform the surgery but have not actually gone throught it themselves. ( kinda like a guy doctor telling you what you should feel like post hysterectomy or child birth) . Concentrate on liquids, clear and your protien shakes,,, all will be well and check in here often!
