Your chugging habits will be either be extremely or moderately adjusted by the sleeve, plus the pain if any will make you change habits

Do this is not wrong UNLESS it becomes habit forming an you start to unconditionally do it without actually knowing your doing it. Now you are practically trading in one eating disorder for the next... Tread carefully, the waters are deep on this one.

So with NO appetite all I find it extremely easy to look at at food w/o craving it. It's an awesome feeling. My family order pizza the other day with all the works and it looked delicious. I mean it would be selfish of me to tell them "NO, you can't bring that in house cause you know what I'm going through and what I need to do to get where I need to be"... I mean this decision was mine and MINE ALONE. They did ask for it but they said they would support me. So I already knew deep inside that my burdens shouldn't be theirs. Then I came to realize that the point of surgery was not only to lose weight but to actually learn how to control yourself around food. This was a test for me and I passed with flying colors. Even though the pizza was delicious I used my WILL to negate the thought and in the process used my selflessness to allow my family the meal they so desired w/o having to walk on egg shells around me. This was definitely a win/win situation for me and it felt great... has anyone else had a similar predicament?

Do I brought my own Pepcid AC MAX STRENGTH because what the doc have me was the generic cheap kind that insisted I take it 3 - 4 times day. They will not work for me lol... Now I old gotta take it once a day... I actually when into GNC and brought myself a pill container. now when I drink my soup and I pull it out and start popping pills like a addict everyone jus stares and laughs lmao

YES, oh god yes lol... I was at work and I was saying to myself damn wtf is that smell and why is it following me around... It was my damn breath lol I started brushing and gargling like crazy 4 times of day

Only thing I regret is the heartburn lol... That ish is no joke., especially when it wakes you up out your sleep on hell nah lol

Good job man! I see you doing ya thing!

I thought after four days I would be at least 75% and slowly crawling back to 100% but that seems to be too far gone from the truth. Yesterday was feeling well, I wasn't sweating a lot, I barely felt any pain besides that damn acid reflux. So I wake up this morning and oh boy the drama begins. First I wake up with acid reflux that won't go away for nothing, then when it finally goes away and I hop into the shower I became very dizzy and discombobulated. Taking a shower actually took me so time because I began to feel Ly incisions stretching with every movement and pain just happened to tag along, no surprise there. I finally get dressed up suit and tie, you know the whole 3 piece. As soon as I put on my tie I start sweating like crazy and became disoriented again, Smh. After sitting down for a while and making some protein shake I bean to sip on it. Everything was getting better, so I thought. I looked up at the time an I'm already an hour late for work, mind you this is a fresh new job that I got before surgery. Now I'm in a rush to ER to the train station because I realize that I am in no condition to drive ANYWHERE with these dizzy spells pop in on me like an unannounced relative. I start walk to the train station and I begin to have stomach pain from the vigorous walking. When I finally get on the train I find a seat and sit down. I reached into my suitcase to grab a bottle of water and it slips out my hand and rolls across the train. I Lear my bag in my seat and make my way towards the elusive water bottle that refuses to roll back. When I finally grab the bottle I returned to my seat only to find my suitcase has been replaced by an elderly woman. So now I'm in pain, pissed, sweating and becoming extremely aggravated because my stop is literally 12 stops away then I have another 9min walk to catch my connecting train to my final destination. The train decides to be an a*****e and goes local which made it a 19 stop train ride. Mind you I'm standing up in this train that practically enjoys rocking from side to side like an isolated baby carriage. This motion starts to stir up this discomforting feeling within my guys that slowly begins to aggravate me with each repeated motion. Now I'm jus mean grilling the elderly lady who took what was rightfully mine. When I finally get to my stop my legs and calves are burning and my stomach is knotted up like Christmas lights. I have no choice but to walk slowly in hopes of unknotting this irritating condition that is desperately trying to fight me at the moment. With all this going on I come to find out that my connecting train has already left and another one would not be appear till 30 mins from now due to a technical difficulty along the tracks going northbound. Now I'm over 2 hrs and 30mins late feeling the, pardon my mouth, weathered down **** in the middle of road. When the train finally decides to come it is PACKED UP, practically overflowing, like shaken soda bottle, with people. I mean getting a foot in a door was like trying to fit a a mans size 14 foot into a woman's 6. I mean it was totally ridiculous. If there was ever a fire hazardous this would be the ultimate definition, period. I decide to wait for the next train, since I'm already late I doubt it could be any worse. So I wait and the next train is jus as bad as the last one who passed. I jumped on it and I couldn't have been more uncomfortable... People were pressed on me like starch. My stomach starts to hurt again... Acid reflux l, so I popped a Tums and drank some water. I finally get off the train at my destination walk into my new work site which I find to be gorgeous only to find out that I will be starting working officially in a week because they are still going through an organizational reconstruction... Just my damn luck

I'm gonna start making these once solids are a go ahead for me

i get this pain at least 3 times a day... at first i thought it was gas pains but now i kno it was acid reflux smh... i goin to my doc sometime this week. this pain wakes me up in my sleep smh.

Where are u getting your procedure done?

Yeah, I took the meds but they don't seem to do the job. I use the liquid Tylenol they supplied me plus a couple of tums and gas-x chewables... I get a really bad case it feels like stomach acids is eating through my esphogus Smh lol...

Congrats on your continuous weigh loss success. How do you feel?

Protein gives you energy plus it develops lean muscle forcing your body to burn fat for energy and not actual muscle... Without it you will lose muscle and fat at the sametime which will cause a bad reaction. In most cases extemu saggy or loose skin... Your best bet is to find a Protein shake that you can stomach or something you can mix the Protein powder into to void the taste that makes you nausea. There is no way you can escape eating protein... After the sleeve it's 65% of your diet

Gas is finally gone, temporarily... but has anyone felt any heartburn when laying or sitting down? I feel it and it's pretty intense lol...

I didn't have a catheter at all... It was hard using the bathroom at first bit forcing it out a bit cleared the pipeline and I've been good ever since

I didnt have a drain

Whoa, remember when I said I didn't have any gas pains??? Negate that, I all of a sudden have a lot of Gas caught in my chest that refuses to leave... I had bm last night and it didn't help in the slightest...

I do feel pain though when I breathe heavily or stretch ... I didn't have a drain or a Catherder i was happy about that lol I was actually the only one who Walked into the OR without a stretcher... I spoke to all 8 ppl who were assisting in the surgery and it was a great relaxing convo. Dr. Gorecki has to be one of the best damn surgeons I've ever came across... His team definitely ranks amongst the top 5. They always came in to check up on me, cracked jokes, and kept me relaxed throughout my stay at NY METHODIST hospital

Did anyone feel extremely nausea after the surgery? Because I was in a lot of pain and nausea like crazy lol... My nurse kept tellin me to be patient the morphine will kick it soon, but I didn't care I wanted it right now lol... For some reason the gas pain did a number on me but unlike most of you I didn't feel anything in my shoulder and really didn't need any gas-x at all

Lissa always seem to give relaxing advice lol

can someone post the link for myfitnesspal thread?

Sorry If I haven't posted a msg right after surgery, but I just wanted to let very one know I'm doing well... Didn't have any electronics for a few days but I do now!!! GO APRIL SLEEVERS WE DID IT, together!
