groovearmada replied to groovearmada's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you so much Kelly. A lovely reply. I am still scared of photos but I will try to bring myelf to upload some. What you said about being scared to feel successful could def be something for me to think about. Congrats to you too, I hope everything is still going smoothly. I <3 this forum. -

Thank you Foxbins for such a well put reply. You know I think you might be onto something about directing my emotions onto this instead of other things. I work abroad and have been increasingly homesick, maybe this is what my real problem is? I will try to write a list of all the positives this surgery has brought about. Maybe seeing it in print will help too. I appreciate your reply. Heartfelt thank you. -
5 lbs til normal. I cant believe it. It seems only yesterday I was happy dancing about getting to overweight!

DR KELLY & TRISH -AWESOME!
groovearmada replied to wannasleeve's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
God this is becoming boring. Anytime someone posts something positive about trish there is an almost instant reply by someone trying to discredit her..... -
I used to say, "no thanks, i dont want to go out tonight" mainly because i felt so fat and ugly and had no nice clothes. Now i never turn an invitation down and am never in!

Told a patient I had a VSG today....
groovearmada replied to BlackBerryJuice's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel the same as everyone else, I think what you did at that time, was perfect. It was your gut instinct to open up to her and share it with her. I also think that the fact your are so obviously evaluating what you did makes you a real professional. -
friggin p'd off! STUPID STUPID STUPID DOCTOR WHY DO THEY EXIST?????
groovearmada replied to italianlady13's topic in Rants & Raves
Italianlady: could you maybe message me the name of your regular, "awesome" doctor? I'm struggling to find a decent general doctor in Abu Dhabi, the majority of them are exactly like that "ass" you described! -
Thanks for all the great answers, sorry it took so long to reply.

The hair loss has started. 4 and a half months out, thought I was one of the lucky ones. Praying it doesnt get too bad. Its pretty scary seeing all that hair on the hairbrush.

Thanks Kelly, do you still track your Protein?

Thanks for the reply Amanda, wish i had your dedication!

UPDATE I had a very small glass of wine and soda and drank it very slowly. No problems at all however, it just didnt taste as good as it used to. Wont be bothering with the bubbles anymore!

I am not a drinker but have have a few special nights coming up. These are the only types of alcohol i enjoy. Does anyone else drink these? I know we are not supposed to drink bubbles after but......

I really want to go sunbathing on holiday but am still worried about my scars. I dont want to deepen the colour. I am 3 months out, scars still pretty prominent. Any experiences, recommendations? Thank you

Nausea three months out
groovearmada replied to irkenpanda's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved april 3rd and few weeks ago the same was happening to me. I thought it was the sleeve but I actually had a tummy bug which was doing the rounds in the school I worked it. Couldn't eat, didn't want to eat, constant nausea! Thankfully it passed after a few days. Def the weather is not helping, I also live in a v hot climate, but could you have some kind of tummy bug? Virus? -
I would love some sucky sweets for the airplane, get sore ears. Thanks

BMI 29.9 no longer obese, 49 pounds lost
groovearmada posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Getting out of obese is a big deal for me and i did it today! I am just thrilled. It has not been easy, i find it really hard to get my protein in and still worry that i might need that part of my stomach that is gone forever! However, this has made it all worthwhile. I am in us size 12 jeans and am starting to get my confidence back slowly. I cant wait to smash my goal! -
BMI 29.9 no longer obese, 49 pounds lost
groovearmada replied to groovearmada's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Thanks everyone. Anonynurse: The good habits just seemed to have happened, without me pushing it. I dont make bad choices anymore, Proteins first etc. The thought of fatty take out carby food makes me gag. When i want to have something "bad" i will, in a small amount. Last week I was out for dinner and had a little bowl of homemade very creamy ice-cream. It was delicious. I didnt feel bad about it and it didnt affect the scale. Now excercise, thats another story. I still hate it and I always will i think!
