I can't wait for this season either!
Actually, the better question is what takes up my nights, lol. I work nights in electronics repair. It's interesting work, and I enjoy it.
So how are things going on your journey to the sleeve?

Hi. I'm an Alabama fan, all the way, but will actually root for Auburn anytime other than the Iron Bowl, lol. What about you? I have lived in Chilton and Shelby Counties my whole life. So what made you head south?

I adore LEI jeans. My waist is much smaller than my thighs and these are the only jeans that actually fit me all over. Love 'em!

Which would you suggest starting with, book or dvd (for a beginner)? -
Those with over 100 pounds lost - did you lose your bat wings??
sychadelic posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay, so I've got a total of about 150 to lose and I'm about 1/3 the way (yay!). I've been doing some resistance training and have yet to really notice a difference in my arms or bat wings rather....if anything they've started winging more than before. Any encouraging words from 100+ pound losers?Other than surgery? -
Recliner or couch?
sychadelic replied to wondering1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used my recliner the first day only, then my bed (which is a climb up) with no problems. I don't think I would have spent money on a recliner just for recovery, maybe one of those really big reading pillows with the arms on them would be a cheaper option. -

Hmmm, well, here's hoping being on the younger side and exercise will help out. I'm not looking for perfection, just don't want to look like a deflated balloon, lol. -
Baskin Robbins...EEEVVVIIIILLLLL

Ahhh, yes, temptations!! My downfall is Starbucks Coffee ice cream, yum! -
Yeah, I didn't have any complications either (unless you consider plantar fasciatis (sp?) a complication, lol). I did mess up once and had to throw up but it was when I first started on solids again. You're doing great, my exercise program isn't nearly as dedicated as yours, I'm just doing some strength training 3-4x a week and increasing activity through the day. so go you, lol. I'd love to meet up, maybe after summer....I don't do well with heat at all (even that is improving with surgery - amazing!)

Oh wow! I live in Montevallo....we're practically neighbors! I had my surgery in March in Huntsville. How has your experience been with the sleeve?

Got half my hair chopped off today! It was actually liberating, but I may be squalling in the morning, lol.

Forgetting to eat
sychadelic replied to sychadelic's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the replies. I know it's not good to forget to eat, but looks like I'm not alone in this struggle. Maybe some of these tips will help. -
I do pretty good with my eating during the week when I have a set schedule, but on weekends that all flies out the window. Since surgery I NEVER feel hungry so on weekends, I'm bad about not eating. Anybody else dealing with this? How do yo make yourself remember food when it's become not that big a deal?
-
Just wondering if anybody else gets a feeling of constriction in their throat? I notice once or twice a day my throat feels very tight - almost like someone has their hand on my throat. Sometimes it's after eating, and sometimes hours after eating. If you have had it, have you found a trick to minimize the feeling?
-
Thanksso much for the info ladies, guess I'll be doing some research this weekend.

OUTPATIENT vsg anyone?
sychadelic replied to jennifer6791's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had outpatient surgery. It was fairly uneventful for me. I woke up from surgery and actually had a faulty pain pump, only working the first time, but it was far from more than I could handle, uncomfortable yes, but bearable. The only real problem I had was getting my kidneys to work after surgery, and they threatened me with a catheter, which made me very dedicated to getting them to work, lol. Best of luck - and a side note, my doc did say that most insurance companies would approve a longer stay if there are any complications, so if there is a reason for you to stay longer, you will. I even stayed 2 hours after my allowed time "off chart" . -
Hi, I would love to take up belly dancing but there are no classes in my area. Can anyone recommend a good beginner video or warning of which to avoid?
