UPDATE: I'm going to have LapBand surgery instead
Dansha replied to Dave_NW's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
BEST WISHES DAVE. I can only assume this was not a easy decision to make. I personally know two people who have the lapband and are doing very good. The weight loss is slower, but that's how they wanted it. GOOD LUCK. Deb -
Girl well done. Your face looks so much thinner and happier. Much success as your journey continues. Deb

Welcome Amber, I am so happy you have joined us. I have BIG tonsils and was a little concerned about the breathing tube going in and out. I woke up in the recovery room and the tube was gone. It was no BIG deal. I think you will be just fine. Deb

2 wks post & unable to move to mushies...
Dansha replied to vanishingvixen's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You will feel alot better with some Protein to start the day. The best protein I take is the unjury chicken soup. I would be lost without it. However the soduim is outrageous and you need to drink gallons of Water to counteract the soduim. Which is good. Good luck. Deb -
Wait, why sugar free?
Dansha replied to SouthernSleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's a very good book. My nut actually recommended it. Some other good books are Mindless Eating Why We Eat More Than We Think by Brian Wansink, PhD and the Emotional First+ Aid Kit by Cynthia L. Alexander, PsyD. Deb -
We know exactly what you mean. We all probably have a couple of clothing items we tuck back in the closet that still have price tags on. I totally forgot about that. Cool that's my next stop.... my closet. Keep up the excellent work. Thanks for sharing. Deb

Frightened by anyting more than liquids...
Dansha replied to iegal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OC, you will be alright!!! When you scramble that egg more than likely you will not be able to eat the whole thing. I am amazed at how little I can eat before I am full. You will probably eat 1/4 of a cup of cottage cheese and then you will be full and you will not want anymore. Believe me. Also my nut told me to look for signs you are full such as sighing, yawning and nose watering and there are some other ones too. Good luck. Deb -
1 week out today! Way different than I expected!
Dansha replied to PamelaAM's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My nut told me do not worry about the protein for a couple of weeks. YOU DO NEED TO GET THE WATER IN THOUGH!!! Each day will get better and better. Deb -
Weight Watchers after the sleeve
Dansha replied to escapesunshine's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I love WW too. It's the only program that I thought I might actually win my battle with food. I will probably do it for maintenance. Deb -
Thanks, Lisa for the B-day wish and commenting on my weight loss. I've had a few rough days lately, but I am feeling better now. Hugs

Interesting. Iam about 7 weeks post op and I have never vomited until yestersday. It seems like everytime I eat or drink I feel like I'm going to throw up. I been feeling off for several days. I go in for my lab work this week and see the surgeon in two weeks. I too do not smoke or drink. Maybe I can get some answers. I hope you feel better soon. Best wishes to you !!! Deb

Hey Renee. Baby girl it's been awhile. I'm happy things are progressing for you. Good luck on your new job. I have a office job, but because Dr. H's office saw I worked for the post office they assumed it was heavy work, so they wrote the paperwork for 4 weeks. I took 2 weeks off. That was enough for me.
You are right I should post some pic up. Maybe I'll do that this weekend.
Good luck and keep me updated. Have a good weekend!!!

When ere u able to eat a salad? Is anyone able to have a bite of a sub or pita?
Dansha replied to selvester420's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My guidelines are NO corn, peas, lima Beans, lettuce, cabbage, or raw veggies for 6 MONTHS. WOW that's a long time for me to wait for a salad, but I will do what my doc's guidelines say to do. It's kinda frustrating when you see others eating foods you can't eat for several months. Deb -
What is WRONG WITH ME???
Dansha replied to sleeve 4 me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Baby girl I think you are perfectly NORMAL. I too feel the same way about food as you do. I was so happy to be cleared to start eating some veggies and fruits. When I cooked some fresh green Beans the other day all I could have was three strings and the whole time I was thinking is these are not as good as I remember. :sad0: I've tried some apples, pears and plums. I even tried chewing some gum and after about 5 mins I can't hardly wait to throw it out. NOTHING TASTE GOOD!!!!! I WOULD RATHER NOT EAT!!!!! :( I too am wondering when food taste GOOD again. I am HAPPY I am losing weight, but sad about what small amounts of food I am eating does not taste good. Deb
