Ms skinniness

Comgrats'. It gets better from here on in. Try to rest, walk, and sip water.

Enjoy ur sleep and take full advantage of ur morphine drip! I did and had no complications.

Before surgery vit d was really low. So that proved and I started taking vit d every day mow even though I get bit d in other forms.

I don't take ba vita. I use the regular form but make sure they are small capsules or caplets. I'm 7.5 post op and have no complications from vitamin deficiency. When early out I used pudding or yogurt to help slide them down.

I arendehydrated. Drink as much water as possible and get some Gatorade in. Drink, drink, and drink.

I had a really vivid dream about a month ago that there were lumps of hair falling out in my left hand from the left side of my head. I was telling my hair dresser and the lady sitting in the chair told me that someone in my extended family was going to die. My FIL passed away within a month. So sad.

Some day I will post of picture of myself. Just need to take them. I am always procrastinating about everything these days. I love everyone on this site! We all Rock!

Each and every case for wls is different. To get a more accurate answer to your question, it is best to consult with a wl surgeon. That is his/her scope of practice and they have the best answers. If you go on youtube.com and I believe it is Dr alvarez from Mexico that is open to questions and he will get back with you. I like his videos bc they are very informative.

The vanilla isopure powder I purchased at GNC vitamin store. It's great for cooking with.

My boobs are smaller and deflated. They feel spongy too. Blah

Congrats! Onderland!

That is totally shocking! Why Lexi?

coops ~ I will be the first to hear you over that pond! Especially when you hit 160 lbs! It will move, you are one of the most determined people I know! I bought a size 8 Lee's jeans yesturday and they fit great! I bet you can too really soon! Hope your feeling better!.

Call them ASAP! It's time to be assertive and go for what you need! Let us know the results.

Hopefully you can take tylenol. It will be hard to stop cold turkey, but you can do it! You have a great plan of action and will be highly successful. With reduced weight, your pain will be eliminated. Let me know how your doing on your pre-op plan.

The only thing I've heard about VSG being hard on the liver is if you have a fatty liver and the possibility of the fatty liver getting nicked during the surgery. If the doc's not concerned about hydrocodone and you are still some what anxious, check with another doc and ask for his professional opinion. Especially the pain doc that prescribes the meds.

I am praying for him. It sounds like the doc has a handle on this and he is where he needs to be. I hope your taking care of yourself. I am doing some visual healing for your dad and I hope you can visualize his heart getting back to normal arrhythmia's soon. So sorry he is experiencing this.

I am not at my personal goal yet, but am with my Surgeon's goal. I do admire how you have reached your goal and also am worried about myself being at goal and letting my guard down, and then the weight gain begins. So for me, I suspect I will always have to watch what I'm eating. I'm also going to weight myself 2 times a week at least. I am curious to know how others are with maintenance. Sleeve of Steel,you have done a great job and CONGRATS! You are very successful and will continue to be successful with maintenance.

Lisa you are and have been working really hard to shed those pesky pounds! You are a hero in my book! CONGRATS! I love your positivity and the awesome feedback you leave others. I do know that I have come to a stop in WL. But I am going to keep working the program and see if anything comes of it. I do love wearing a size 8 in jeans and a size 6 in slacks. We have all Rocked our Sleeves and will continue to Rock my sleeve for the rest of my life.

Welcome to your new journey! Can't wait for you to join us on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH on May 22. This is an amazing journey that has saved our lives.

So proud of your successes! You are a poster child for weight loss and a new found you. You have worked hard for what you have accomplished, it hasn't come easy as you know. Now the job is to maintain and continue building you new found confidence! By the way, you are beautiful inside and out!

I haven't notices my eyelashs, but have noticed more pubic hairs! Sorry for TMI. My hair is also a couple inches long now, the new growth that is.

Lisa ~ ditto! I like those NSV's TBB! My butt is so boney and my collar bones are showing. My weight loss is virtually at a stand still, but have just gotten into a size 8 Lee Skinny Jeans and a size 6 in slacks! Love it. I feel really good also.
