  1. The veggies you chose are ones very hard to digest. Are they on your food plan this early out? Keep things very soft and easy to digest. Your stomach is not healed at the earliest 6 weeks.
  2. Drinking enough fluids? Enough protein? I know, same old questions. You will lose. Your body is probably in shock trying to hold onto whatever it can so you don't starve to death. Just continue your plan and forget about the scale. Are your clothes getting loose? Are your feet and legs swollen? Maybe you haven't lost the water weight from surgery. Best of luck to you. Make sure and tell us what happens in a month from now.
  3. Schedule a gny appointment after work. What about a Sat? I would have this done before I had VSG. If you explain the situation to your gyno they may make you an appointment after their normal hours. It doesn't hurt to speak up.

    Ramblings of a happier woman!

    You look fantastic. You must be very smart also to have done this life changing surgery when you are so young. Best of luck to you.

    18 months & 175# lost (photo)

    Remarkable! Happy birthday. So you did lose after a year? I am worried about this because I have strayed big time and have stopped losing. At least not gaining. I was hoping that I could get back on the wagon and lose the last 24 lbs. Please tell how this worked for you.

    Tijuana, and the birth of Frankentummy

    Your experience is so different than all the other posts I have read. Thank you for posting this to give others that are contemplating surgery in Mexico a heads up. Glad you are doing well now.

    Vsg and hypothyroidism

    My thyroid was removed awhile back. I will be on meds forever. I am 9 months out and the only thing that has changed is my pill has been reduced in milligrams. Dr may have to test more as weight comes off.

    Where do you all see a picture?
  11. Husband is 68 and has had gout since late 20's. He is on allopurinol and cholcicine daily. Maybe you should go back to dr and get put on a daily regemine of medication. I know over the yrs the amounts had to be changed for him because he would have attacks but remission is but a pill away.

    8 months post op

    I'm 9 months out and having a problem of actually getting nauseated and then throwing up. Sometimes it is because I ate too much. Other times I am trying to pinpoint why. I thought since I did not have any problems for so long that I was home free. Been happening for about 6 weeks now.
  14. This happened to me in 1987. I was in so much pain at work I finally caved in and went to go home. It was night shift on an early Friday morning before Memorial Day weekend. I walked half way out and my legs lost feeling and I grabbed a railing so I did not fall. I was taken to hospital and a neurosurgeon came in. Because of the holiday he couldn't even run the appropriate tests. I could not walk. I laid in that bed for 5 days before they did the surgery. Most painful surgery I ever had. By the grace of god I had lost some weight at that time and was down to 224 instead of my normal at that time of life of 250. Best of luck to you.

    My pet peeve

    Try to sit her down face to face as an adult and tell her how her actions make you feel. Then the ball is in her court. If she does not try to rectify her actions in some way then you know she must truly hate you. But she is still your relative and you must try to kill her with kindness until she eventually catches on. Best of luck. It is always so much better when you get along.
  20. The stores are trying to make us feel thin.
  21. A white glove leather short jacket with a fur trimmed hood. Pair of white fitted jeans with a pair of fur lined white letter boots. I can sit in a ski lodge and look like I belong or go out and shop. Probably shop Ha Ha.
  22. I'm 9 months out and sometimes I can eat a whole sandwich. Other times I can barely eat the filling in a sandwich and a few bites of the bread. It depends on the day, who knows. Maybe this is the way normal people eat. I see thin people throw away a lot of there food sometimes and not so much at other times. Maybe I am becoming more normal LOL.
