ALL BAD RELATIONSHIPS MUST COME TO AN END
fatBgone replied to GreenEyedMamma's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I did the same thing, "borrowed" the seat belt extender! I just kept it with me and very discreetly would pull it out. I didn't want anyone to see that extender!!! I went to great pains to hide it. That day I got on a commuter flight and that belt fit (those are the smaller planes and those seat belts are the shorter ones) I was so happy! When that flight was over, I knew I wasn't going back so I stood up, collected my things and I very openly pulled out that extender and dropped it in the seat! At that point I didn't care who saw it! I left it on that plane for someone else-not me anymore!!!!! Congrats to you, I know how great it feels! -
bad headaches during liquid diet!
fatBgone replied to ScentsyLady's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I thought I was going to die the first 3 days! It was horrible, the headache the tired feeling. I think its carb withdrawal. If you are getting your fluids (and I assume you are because you're on a liquid diet) then its just time. I felt better on day 4 and continued to feel better each day. -
The pants that didn't fit.

I want it so bad I can TASTE it!
fatBgone replied to Rootman's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
If anyone can do it, you can. Youve been a great success thus far, no reason why this one piece won't happen for you. It may require a bit more patience but it will come. -

What is the one significant thing in your life that you can do now...
fatBgone replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
For me it's getting thru the day without being exhausted. I travel for work and I used to arrive in a city and go straight to the room and lay on the bed to rest. Now I see the city, go out for dinner, do some shopping. I have about 50 lbs to lose still but what a difference the 73 I've lost have made! -
Incredible! Nice job.

Please put me on your prayer list

OMG what a nightmare for you! Good luck and I hope it all works out.

Just How Important is your Post-Surgical Dietitian
fatBgone replied to happy1957's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow definitely request another!!! There's no need for that treatment. Both the NUTs in my dr's office are band patients so they 'get it' in terms of treating us all w respect. I really need the NUTs advice, especially onvitamins. Good luck -
Unless you're allergic, aren't shrimp and Scallops a great protein
fatBgone replied to USMCwifeandTEACHER's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I made this this weekend... First I made a compound butter, took half a stick of butter and added 1 minced garlic clove, chopped fresh dill and some Old Bay (I love Old Bay), and a dab of hot sauce and the zest of half a lemon. I assembled little foil packets to grill: First I layered thin sliced red new potatoes, then a handful of cleaned, deveined shrimp, I took an ear of corn and cut it into four pieces and put two small pieces in each packet. Then I put a sprig of fresh dill, a pat of the compound butter and sprinkled some more Old Bay and sealed up the packets so there were no holes. Grill for 14 minutes on med hot on your grill. It was sooooo good. You can also add lemon slices to the packets. -
Protein Bars anyone???
fatBgone replied to decamom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for this info. I travel for work at times and I typically do a Protein shake for Breakfast at home. But was thinking a Protein Bar would be a good substitute when I travel. These sound like they are pretty good in terms of protein and carbs. -
Ladies, this question is for you
fatBgone replied to sleeve newbie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep my weightloss stops the couple days right before and then during my period! But as soon as its winding down, the loss begins again (thank God!). So I think what you are experiencing is completely normal.
