    Planar Fasiitis

    Oh my goodness size 11!?! I wish I could get some use out of then. However, I'm 4"10, size 6 lol ill prob be wearing kid sizes again once I lose more weight. Congrats on your loss! I'm 2 mths out and down 64. Loving it! I did see a podiatrist. He taped me up for 3 days then gave me inserts, put me on a steroid pack, Celebrex, and told me to stay off my feet as much as possible for 8 weeks. That was 2 weeks ago, my left foot us completely better no pain even in the am. Right foot is another story. It is better, but still painful in the am and when I first start walking on it. I guess 2 1/2 yrs if dealing with it was way too long. I'm just praying that it gets better without further intervention.

    First Step: Get this band out!

    You will be thrilled with the revision. I was unable to do the revision in 1 shot because my band was ulcerated, but I am soooo pleased with my sleeve. It's a lot more emotional than the band was but once you get through the 1st 6 wks its awesome. Good luck to you!

    Any October 23Rd Sleevers Out There?

    I'm able to eat what I want too. I still haven't tried eating anything hard or chewy yet I'm too chicken. It took me long enough to be able to be comfortable with food. Like you I eat 3 meals and 1-2 snacks. Cashews have become my new fav snack lately. Yumm

    Any October 23Rd Sleevers Out There?

    Oct 16 here...63 lbs total, 47 lbs since surgery lovin my sleeve!!
  5. Ok, that makes it hard to stop dairy. If you have a hard time doing so, Lactaid makes a chewable. Maybe try that.
  6. How far out are you? I realized week 3 that I had a lactose intolerance. I would stop dairy and then reintroduce it very slowly to see if it continues. This way you'll know your limit. Good luck!

    Taco soup

    I put it in the crockpot on low for 4 hrs but it doesn't take that long to be done
  8. I'm looking for a small vitamin that I can swallow. Has anyone come across one? I bought one tonight that I seen on amazon but its far from small. I have tried several chewables and can't stand them. I'm starting to feel crappy without them.
  9. Liz, you are in my thoughts and prayers! You have A LOT of prayer warriors! Keep your head up sweetie! Xoxo

    Planar Fasiitis

    I bought the inserts from his office they were only $35 and they feel great just from the 1 day I've wore them. He put me on a steroid pack to decrease the inflammation and Celebrex to keep it down. Now that I'm sleeved I can't take NSAIDs however Celebrex is one that is approved for sleeve patients.

    Planar Fasiitis

    Went back to podiatrist today for a follow up. The tape worked in one foot while it was on but not the other. So, he gave me orthotics for my shoes and prescribed a steroid pack and Celebrex. I have to stay off my feet as much as possible for 6-8 wks. Bummer so much for cardio.
  12. My cousin (not really cousins but long story she has NO family) whom I was practically raised with lost her 41 yr old healthy husband Sunday to a massive heart attack. She has been one of the few who stuck by me when I lost my fiancée several years ago. We both have a lot in common and this was the one thing I never thought we'd have in common. I'm so heartbroken for her. I'm leaving Saturday to go spend 4 weeks with her. Furthermore, one thing of many that keeps going through my mind is that all these years my husband and I have been so unhealthy and look how soon even the healthy can go. Although, these past few days, I have eaten nothing but garbage whether it makes me puk or not and most of it does. If much rather be resorting to the gym during this time but my dang feet are taped up and I'm supposed to be staying off them until I see the dr Friday. What I'm saying is, why am I resorting back to food? Yes I'm going through a lot, but why this is torture! I'm so disappointed in myself that I don't want to eat and then I found Reese's prices in my purse from the movie I took my daughter to and of course I had to have some! Errrrr

    New Sleevers With Little Ones?

    I feel your pain! My daughter was 18mthswhen I got my band and then had to have neck surgery a month later and was in a collar for 8 weeks. I basically just had to have her climb up on the couch and give me loves. It's so hard. Just remember its harder on you then her. When I was sleeved my now 4 yr old daughter keep asking if my stitches were still in my belly and she told EVERYONE that I had stitches in my belly. Even strangers and people I didn't tell. from the mouths of babes. Get better, it will all be worth it when you can actively play with your little one!
  14. Glad to hear your doing well.

    October Sleevers-How Ya Doin?

    I'm 7 wks out today and down 53 lbs, 37 since surgery. I've been stalling for two weeks now. I joined a gym however haven't been yet as I have Planar Fasiitis and my feet are taped up. I go back to the dr Friday and hopefully the tape will work. I went and bought a few outfits that actually fit and aren't baggy and now I feel fat again. .

    Planar Fasiitis

    I went to the podiatrist today. He diagnosed me with Plantar Fasiitis. He wrapped my feel in funky tape. It feels like a cast around my ankles and bottom of feet. Weird, but I have to leave it on for 3 days and return to his office Friday. He told me that it doesn't matter what type if shouts you wear that it's hereditary. So, now I need to find some good shoes to help relieve the problem when I walk and that Will allow me to exercise without foot pain. Glad I'm on the road to recovery!

    Christmas Day Challenge!

    7 wks tomorrow. You?
  18. Help! Okay so I have the lactose intolerance since surgery and I'm so bored with the same foods that half the time I don't bother eating. Oh also...I'm super picky. Here's what I eat...egg scrambled. Egg salad, canned chicken breast with Italian dressing, tuna, and pesto chicken with goat cheese and sundried tomatoes. I'm so sick of the same things anyone have suggestions? I go threw spurts where I don't really care what I eat as long as I get protein, but now I'm going through what I hope is a phase where I want to enjoy what little bit I can eat. I'm a few days shy of 7 wks post op.
