Questions about weight loss and losing more weight
slojo replied to rxkid2384's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have found that I lose a while, then it slow/stops for a while. It's just the body's way of dealing with the changes. I have noticed however, that I still lose inches during the slow times which kept me going and encouraged... Good luck...Be patient with your body... -

More often these days some WLS surgeons will take mexico patients for f/u care. I was sleeved in Mexico as well a nd found a surgeon close to home to do my f/u care. I would try to find a doc/nut to help you. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress... -

Baby Food During Pureed Stage?
slojo replied to Khloé's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I LOVE banana baby food and did eat it post-op during puree stage. It went down great and helped me through a hard time, it's easy on the stomach... -
You'll do great, and feel sooo much better physically and mentally. You're an inspiration to all of us... Keep us posted on your journey...

5 Weeks Post-OP Still Teaching Myself to Eat Slowly
slojo commented on joatsaint's blog entry in Gastric Sleeve Surgery - An Unexpected Journey
I know! i'm 51/2 months out and still eat too fast. I try so hard to chew chew chew but it's just not 1st nature for me. -
Same here, a couple of weeks. Then I would have good days/bad days for a while. Still have those days now, just fewer and farther between these days...

51/2 months out and had to go back on antidepressant... The depression is just now starting to lift for me. Still have some days where I just sit (has alot to do with the weather for me, I"m an outdoor person). Started tanning in a tanning bed (Just once a week), and this has also helped...

Eating With People Who Don't Know About My Sleeve
slojo replied to alw1981's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've told everyone I know about being sleeved so I don't have to hide it, but it is uncomfortable to finish my food after just a few bites and have to sit there while the other person is still eating. I think it's probably uncomfortable for the other person as well. I try to eat as slowly as possible and push the food around wiith my fork.. -
So glad you're having a good experience and feel so well.
