kimmy*custis replied to goldenraisin214's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes, I do remember, we are sleeve sisters, same date! I know, I am feeling pretty darn good, over halfway there, it is getting exciting. The weight is coming of slower but...still coming off! Congrats again to you! -
Tight Clothes Question
kimmy*custis replied to marimar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh yes, tight clothes were a big no for me! I lived in my fav yoga pants and a big tee for the three weeks I was off work. Even after I went back I left my pants unzipped, couldnt see it under my shirt so I was fine. It was about 6 weeks before I would wear something a bit tighter that didnt bother me. -
Readily Available Sources Of High Protein Foods
kimmy*custis replied to DesertRat's topic in Food and Nutrition
I think most any restaurant /fast food place has a choice you can pick from or modify to fit your needs. I have been to chinese, mexican, burger joints, italian and have always been able to fing a low carb/high protein option to eat. Good luck! -
1 Month Post Op Appointment

Yaay to you Kathy, you are doing fantastic. Keep up the good work. -
Happy Birthday, you will be better every day. Try the sublingual b12, I have been using it since surgery and even before, it is a good energy booster for me.
-
Congrats to you! Just keep up your fluids. It is much better at home, when do you get to go? I was home the next day mid day.

Congrats to you! I just loved that day!

I agree with willow, try prilosec, works wonders for me!

I say go and have a fun time with your daughter. I had to go to a funeral 7 days after my surgery and it was easy. I cant say the food didnt smell amazing ( home made mexican) but I had my protein drink and water and did just fine. I think just having mom there will be the most important thing to your daughter. Make yourself some soup, put it in a thermos and go have a good time...you can do this.

I am glad you are doing well, keep up the walking and you will be great in no time.

Dont worry about the vitamins, concentrate on getting re-hydrated, that is way more important. You can get back on schedule with the vitamins when you feel better. Get better soon!

Short-Term Disability For Mexico Surgery
kimmy*custis replied to Gastricsleeve4me's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
It shouldnt matter where the surgery is, like you said, as long as they can verify. I had to use my sick pay and then got to use one week of disability, didnt have to use my vacation, worked out perfectly! Good luck to you! -

It's Midnight And I'm Hungry
kimmy*custis commented on tmorgan813's blog entry in A funny thing happend while I was loosing weight
Three meals a day isnt enough, aim for 5-6 small ones, it really does work. I am 12 weeks out today and I seem to be eating all the time...and keeping my body from getting hungry. Best of luck to you. -

Im Feeling A Little Woozy...
kimmy*custis replied to mrsflyboybs's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I get that every once in a while too and I am 12 weeks out today. I am thinking fluid intake is lacking a bit for me but...I also find if I sit for a extended period of time and get up quickly I get the dizzy feeling too, just for a few seconds tho. I would call your doc to see what he thinks. Good luck to you! -

My Hair Falling Out; Weight Loss And Drawing Unwanted Attention To Self
kimmy*custis replied to paperbacknovel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hear you Veronica, weight should have no bearing on interest but it does... I am sorry you are having the hair loss issue, I am not thank goodness. I hear Biotin hair products are good for thinning hair, cant hurt to try it. Congrats on your weight loss too!
