Top 45 Things I've Learned- 5 Months Post Op
elizabeth12677 replied to LacieMC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you still eat sugar based foods like cookies? I am 9 months out, down 95 pounds! -
I am from Little Rock. Sleeved on April 23 by Dr Gibbs. Down 75 pounds so far
-
I do a non fat chai tea latte every once in a while but it eats up a lot of my calories for the day. So it is a present to myself, a luxury!

Gallbladder Comes Out Today
elizabeth12677 replied to kmbrlycool's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know what you mean. I think it is my body adjusting to digesting and it is causing pain. My doctor nurse said milk of magnesia will combat the pain killers, lets hope! -
Gallbladder Comes Out Today
elizabeth12677 replied to kmbrlycool's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mine taken out on Thursday. I was in a lot of pain. Now it is more sore pain than indigestion pain. How are you feeling? -
Anyone else loose your patience recently? I never had road rage or said exactly what I was feeling with the irritation I have since surgery. Lately I have made an employee cry, insulted my mother (we are really close) and yelled at another driver. I hate feeling like this

I called my ob-gyn and told him about my hormone rages. He changed my hormone replacement (hysterectomy) to a lower dose. We store hormones in our fat and with less fat I was overloaded. I will tell you all if it works but I do feel more aware of my attitude. It was good to say it out loud

I was just talking to my mom about being scared of food last week. I am making an appointment to see my therapist and going to group this week but this post has made me feel better. Not alone! I don't want to eat bad food and fitness pal has helped but I am nervous about eating out, what to order, people looking at what I don't eat! I use to eat my feelings and I don't want to fall back into that

This May Be Inappropriate, Forgive Me :)

Well I need to get a man! 50 shades of Grey, all this talk about better sex, etc... This thread has made me giggle and turn a bit red. Love it! -
Changes In Body Temperature... Normal?
elizabeth12677 replied to AmberK1026's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have always been warm blooded, it was really bad after the surgery. I froze everyone out at my house and had to take 2 showers a day! It passed about 2 weeks after surgery. The more weight I lose, the colder I get! Yeah!!! -
Made To Onederland... Finally!

Is This A Problem For Anyone Else?
elizabeth12677 replied to It's all new's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not supportive at all! I have supportive family and friends around me. They may not believe in the procedure, but they believe in me. Last week I opened the freezer and saw Ben and Jerry's, I almost cried until I looked at the label. Not one I would like. My mom said "I would never buy something you liked, that is just cruel". That is what you need around you, people who want good things for you -
Where Are My April 2012 Sleevers?
elizabeth12677 replied to JimmyGotSLEEVED's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on 4-23 and including pre op I am down 29 pounds so far. I had a stall 2 weeks ago and was a little depressed but then it started coming off again. I am so happy I made this choice. I am finally learning how to eat right. I told my family over the weekend "I have a new body and I am going to treat it right this time " -
Amount Of Time Off Work?
elizabeth12677 replied to Thinner Peace's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I work in retail, store manager and originally took 2 weeks off. I went back last week for half days and was hurting afterwards. I think it really depends on you, but 6 weeks seems like a long time to me. -
So Very Annoyed! Not Losing
elizabeth12677 replied to kwindham's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Reading your story, it is so much like mine. Same day surgery too! I had a hysterectomy when I was 28 (endometriosis). I asked about the HRT and my doctor didn't think it would effect weight loss. I have lost 26 since pre op and the last few days I gain a pound then lose it the next day. So frustrating! I am also so sick of the protein shakes I have been drinking. Let me know what you think of the Sams club -
I use to drink a cup of black coffee every morning but since surgery I get sick at the smell. I have started to drink tea instead. I miss my coffee!

I have days where I am full and then days like today where I am SO hungry!!! I called my dietician today to make sure I was doing ok and not over eating. She went through my diet and stressed that I need a lot more protein. I am averaging about 40 grams and need to be at 60. I hope that if I can choke down more than 1 shake a day I will feel less hungry. Really beating myself up today!

TMI for some...but how do you smell?
elizabeth12677 replied to Texasmom65's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I can smell things I couldn't before and my taste buds are weird. For example I had a strawberry Popsicle and could taste peanut butter with it...crazy! I take 2 showers a day now and can't seem to feel clean in my butt region? -
I am 12 days out and feeling pretty good except I think I over did it yesterday. I felt great so I changed my sheets and vacuumed the carpets. Today I have pain in my stomach in the center. It isn't fall over pain but I feel it when I move around. Anyone else have this?

Too Much Activity?
elizabeth12677 replied to elizabeth12677's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the pain in my rib last week. From what I read it is due to the instruments in there during surgery. -
I had it on day 3. I was sobbing, it was terrible! I came home that day and it changed everything. I do have depression but not like that! I was so happy to be home with my pets. Find your happy place, it will pass. If it doesn't in a week, I would call your doctor

Gross Topic
elizabeth12677 replied to elizabeth12677's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
YUCK the smell!!! -
Have been out of the hospital for 3 days now and the day I was released I had a normal colored bowel movement. Since then all have been clear and snotty looking. Anyone have the same and is it normal?
