I Have A Hemorrhoid!
murfsgirl replied to missmachine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the same problem! I use preparation H every time i use the bathroom, it helps! Keep using it, and add a little more finer to your diet, makes things a lot "smoother" -
I will be 4 weeks on tuesday18 lbs and 14 in, I haven't lost anything this week either, I am trying not to let it get to me, maybe by next week we all will see a loss? I'm following my plan to the "T", nothing more I can do but keep going, good luck friends!

Eating Slowwwwwwwwwly... Ugh!
murfsgirl replied to TinaMari's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too was sleeved on the 17th, I hate cold food , so halfway through, I throw it in the microwave and take that little bit of time to move around and feel like I can fit more of the protein in me as I seem to only fit 1/4 cup of it! -
Seem To Be Stuck On My Weight :-(
murfsgirl replied to AnewG2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 15 days post and lost 13 lbs, but then I measured, lost 11 inches total so far! Have you measured yet because those totals are just as gratifying, I expected more pounds off too, but it's only 2 weeks, hang in there it will come off, good luck -
14 Months Out W/ Pictures
murfsgirl replied to Purdy in Pink's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Awesome! Great job! -
I had surgery on the 17th, today was my first day back, I also have a desk Job. I had to leave an hour and a half early as I could. not take it any longer! Just due to the fact that all my incisions bothered me due to my pants just being on them, they are all healed and no problems till after about 4 hrs. I had my pants unzipped whenever siting but the getting up and down all day, really got to me, my boss said if I need to shorten my day or this week or next week, it's fine, hopefully your boss is as understanding , good luck and feel better !

Thank you! Thank you! I will have my husband hide the scale and make every Saturday morning weigh in day , clothes are loose and that feels good but I guess we all would love to see weight loss over night, unfortunately, I have no patience and I have no self confidence, I can't take a compliment and am waiting for the day to come when I can! ????

I am on full liquids and some soft foods, when I need to crunch on something, I've been eating , believe it or not, Gerber Graduates cheese puffs' they are made for toddlers and totally disintegrate in your mouth' also my dr allowed me Ritz crackers with laughing cow cheese! The crackers also turn to mush in your mouth, little things like this mean the most to me! Good luck

Vsg Surgery Recovery Comparison Question - Ladies!
murfsgirl replied to MamaTillson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For me, had no pain compared to both c-sections, I had a partial hysterectomy in 2007 and I had a lot of gas and sore incisions, I have had hardly no gas or pain with this sugary at all! I am 9 days out today. -
Hard to believe it's been a week already! Pretty rough mentally, but started cream soups yesterday and I feel better getting a little something different to eat, I lost 9 lbs and 5 inches ! I feel great, what about all you other July servers?

I'm Still Hungry... And Miserable
murfsgirl replied to ImprovedDreamerGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too, sleeved on the 17th, on Saturday, I had a slight meltdown and cried to my husband saying I was hungry ! He helped me through it and I just needed a little cry I guess, got through the weekend ok, today when I check in to my surgeons office, I'm hoping I can start full liquids, everything is settling very well with no nausea or anything, down 9 lbs and 5 inches and that helped me get past feeling hungry as I already am getting compliments! Keep your mind busy and time does go by! We are almost a week post already! Let's hang in there together ! -

It's finally here! My surgery is tomorrow afternoon ! I'm very anxious, a little nervous , just concerned that I have to go with no food or water for such a long time! I'm hoping I can sleep later than 6 am( that's the time I always get up for work) and keep busy without needing my usual coffee ! Freakin out a bit about it! I can do this ! Lol , that's what I keep telling myself . See everyone on " the other side"!!
