At 3 weeks out I was still on pureeds....at 4 weeks I was released to eat soft foods....now tomorrow I will be 7 weeks out and my doc has told me to start trying out regular foods....

Yes! The pre-op diet is the worst part of the surgery....but just keep thinking about your goals and desires....I kept that present on my mind.... You will get through this....this too shall pass....

I'm 7 weeks out...and I was told at my last dr appt to start trying out more foods, and if it doesnt cause any issues I can eat it..... so I imagine, you can do the same, but contact your drs office to be sure

As of today' I've cried twice...mainly because I miss my mom...and I am a person who cries easily....I usually would go on a binge eatting session when I have those feelings, but since this procedure, all I can do is cry....its very cleansing, it makes me get out the emotions I used food to push down...

my therapist recommended that I buy tic tacs and I asked her why and she told me to wait until I was post op and I will see....she was so right!! I have a pack in my purse, in the kitchen, and in my office desk...they help alot!

Dont Want To Lose My Curves So Now Im Worried
PEvette replied to Christina760's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are going to go down in bra size and panty size when you lose 100+ pounds (I know, I've lost it twice through crash diets, to gain the weight back) You need to ask yourself what is more important....curves and boobies (Which you can buy garments to enhance) or your health? Its just my opinion.... -

Went for my 6 week check up today....lasted 15 minutes...lol, Dr. Yu came in and looked at my file and said "You've lost a whole bunch of weight!" LOL I said thanks! My blood pressure has been normal since surgery, haven't had to watch my sodium so I am officially non-hypertensive...now I need to incorporate exercise....he said keep up the great work and see you in Sept....so so happy...that made my week!

PEvette replied to tjustus's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
RELIEF! I had mine for 7 years until it was removed in June....I dont miss cramping in my port area if I bend over too long or acid reflux i developed in year 6...

Well, I'm not sure, just assuming, could it be bile in your stools?? Do you still have your gallbladder?? -

Anyone Ever Lost Friends After Knowing You Were Getting The Surgery?
PEvette replied to Kiki Von Moonshine's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
WOW Weee, congrats on handling that! -
Realized today it's been over 2 months since I've had a piece of cake....and I dont even desire cake nor chocolate in any fashion....hope it continues!!
-
I'll ask my GYN later today, I have an appt with her to talk about it plus my annual....thanks!
-
I was taking the pill, I took myself off because I was paranoid of getting blood clots from the surgery, but now since I'm past the surgery I want to get back on...but I'm scared of it hindering me from losing weight because I feel that they increase my appetite..
-
Is this a pill??
-
I dont know, maybe its me, I would question any surgoen who is running a "sale" or "special" check with past patients and his success rate... My health is priceless
-
If you have it done by laprascope, you'll have 5 marks....open, one long scar....with the spider 1 mark....that's a question you can ask your surgoen, he or she knows what his or her work looks like after a while.....
-
yes
-
Yeah, make sure you stay on top of that....they probably can appeal it and resubmit your paperwork with the missing info.... good luck! My District has Cigna and put a total exclusion for bariatric surgery for us....
