Brendasgonnalose replied to Chancie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Highest Weight: 335 lbs Surgery Wieght: 322 lbs Current Wieght: 277 lbs This week had a 5lbs lost this week, don't know if the new Shape-up shoes I bought last Sunday has made the difference,usually I only have 2-3 lbs lost a week but I'm likein' this bigger #. Plus the shoes are really comfortable, wear them all day everyday. It's like walking on clouds. Brenda -
No appetite at all.....
Brendasgonnalose replied to Barbara278's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was using the Premier from costco and took the last box back, loved them at first now can't drink them they make me gag. I tried the Atkins Coffe Mocha and the first 3 were ok the last one just gagged down 1/2 of it then dumped the rest. Even the unflavored has been a no go. Brenda -

Brendasgonnalose replied to Barbara278's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have been having the same problem all thou food tastes ok it just don't get hungery and I'm not getting enough of anything. I have been trying to get ing extra Protein using shakes but the ones I liked form the begining now I can stand the taste and can't seem to choke then down. Even the unflavored doesn't taste good. Hope this passes soon. Any sugestions on better tasting protein shakes? Another strange thing is that it feels like I have more restriction now than 3-2 weeks ago, that is when I seem to hve lost any desire to eat. Now I can eat 1/4-1/2 what I was able to eat then.

Skin reaction
Brendasgonnalose replied to imagine.dream.inspire's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It could be from the adhesive. I had the same problem with the tape at the drain site. I'm using a scar cream now and it did heal when I was able to go without the cover on the drain site. Brenda -
That is so great down 4 sizes. I haven't bought new pant yet I had smaller pants that I can know get into.but I only have 3-4 pairs that I can wear right now, I also have several pair that it may be another month befoer I can wear them. I was able to buy 2 shirt at JCPenney's this week, first time in 20 years I have been able to do that, usually Walmart or the big ladies store have been the only place I could find things that fit.

I'm doing pretty good. this last week I've stalled at 44lbs, but I'm ok with it ,I know I didn't gain the wieght over night and I know it's not going to come off over night. How about you how are you doing? I have finally gotten to that not hungery stage that everyone talks about. Yahoo!!! Getting enough water drank is still a problem that I work at every day, yesterday was a bad day only got in 25oz. and today I'm paying for it (dehydrated).

Hi Barb,
I'm doing pretty good.This week I have stalled,bbut I'm still happy with the 44LBS I've lost so far. I still have trouble most days getting enough water drank, I'm paying for yesterday today, only got in maybe 25 oz. so today I'm very dehyderated.
I also tried coffee yesterday for the first time, it wasn't very good, I think my coffee is old, haven't used it since Jan. I was so craving coffee and it was a big let down. The good news is I finally have that not feelingn hungery thing that everyone talks about. Yahoo!!!!!!! I got a Wii gme earlier this month and found the EA sport Active Saturday, what a workout. I'm not someone that exercised alot and found muscles I forgot I had, but it is something I can do at home and there is an easy to follow routine. Have a great week. By the way your picture looks great!!!

New citygal-surgery scheudled for the 9th
Brendasgonnalose replied to citygal's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welome to VST. You will be in very good hands with Dr Aceves. I had my sleeve done in Jan. and haven't had a regret at all. I plan on having the Tummy tuck and what ever else is needed when I get to goal. They have a good plastic sergoen there also. I am 50 and started this journey at 335lbs, So I get the feeling the sagging is inevitable. So far the bat wing on my upper arms are getting flappier. Good luck with your revision. Brenda -

Jan Feb Surgeries
Brendasgonnalose replied to ishary's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have had the same thing happening, I tried taking a previcid at night as well as the nexium in the morning as some have suggested but that didn't stop the huggeries. Usually just snacking on almonds helps. It mostly happens in the mornings till lunch time as I am not a Breakfast person, the only thing I can tolerate in the AM is a Protein shake. Then around 10AM I can eat something. Brenda -
