no drain, but had the cath in for day of surgery came out the next day, although i was walking all over with it hangong off my robe. DOS 12/19/11 \\.url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wOSCYDV/] [/url]

I am dealing with this struggle myself. The surgery itself is no a cure all. I knew this going in. I battle to curb grazing and making poor food choices. I wasn't exercising, and wasn't losing. Currently I am going back to basics. Started with the dreaded protein shakes for breakfast and lunch. Started walking on the treadmill daily. Finally the stall has broken. Going on vaccation with my family two weeks ago was a eye opener. Wow the amount of food was overwhelming! I certainly realize why the whole crew is obese. I am going to break this cycle starting with myself and my kids. I know I eat when I am stressed. Food is such a compulsion for me. Well after this rant, what I really want to say, is WE GOT THIS. I know you can do it and I can do this. If you need support you got it. Thanks for sharing it's great to know I am not alone, in what I am feeling. surgery1 2-19-11 HW 362 SW 344 CW 278 85 lbs down! 100 to go!

LOL I know loving being a loser, also had to laugh how excited I was when my surgeon yesterday told me I was not longer super morbidly obese I am just morbidly obese, and next time will just be obese. Never thought that would make me excited!!! sleeved 12-19-11

This was the best thing I have ever done for myself. It is worth sagging skin, my thining hair. I used to be on 7 medicines a day now I am on one BP med and one reflux med. I used to have diabetes, now don't. I have more energy, I can play with the kids, take a walk with out becoming short of breath or having to stop. I can fit into booths at a resturaunt. There are so many things that are becoming a possibilty. Then greatest two things I love are that I feel full for the first time in my life, and I no longer feel hungry all the time. In reality the only con, and it's not a biggie is that food used to a comfort, I now realize it really was a malignant comfort, causing me only bad health, and sadness. Nether the less it took some adaptation on my part. I did have one cheat dinner during per op dinner. Did lose 13 pound even thought I did that. I only know of the success stories here there are not that maany sleeves around my area, just the 20 some my surgeon had done at the time of my surgery. I know my ongoing success, that I will tak ONE DAY AT A TIME! sleeved 12-19-11

hadn't had a cycle for over 6 months, I got it during surgery and am back now to every 28 days, i want getting my period secondary to my weight. This is the only minus in my opinion to my sleeve. LOL sleeved 12-19-11

a particullary greasy piece of fish at a restuarant did the same to me, two words NOT FUN! sleeved12-19-11

When you get those stomach cramps, sit up very straight and push your chest out slightly arching your back and it should ease. Also walking around will help. Tips someone have me when I was fresh post-op. Hope it works for you! Speedy recovery with little pain! sleeved 12-19-11

Love the NSV's, I can relate to the bathroom issue. It is amazing how those lost pounds ma like so much easier! {amd cleaner too, lol} Keep up the great work! sleeved 12-19-2011

I do like to go out. Finding out that I really don't care what the server thinks when I do't eay much. As my DH pointed out you don't owe them an explaination! The only place I avoid is fast food. Lovin life more every day! sleeved 12-19-11
