What Would Happen If I Cheated?
bubles089 replied to SkinnyOnMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a month out and cheated a little by eating some chips and salsa and 5 mins later I was vomiting in the bathroom. Your stomach can't handle much and even if you think you feel great and what's a little going to do, your not a good as you think. I totally get the urge because you feel like hey I'm having like 500 cals a day what's a little going to do? Right well from my personal experience it normally will come right back out and hurt! -
Experienced Sleevers, I Need To Know...
bubles089 replied to buforu21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a month out and I have days like that. I get bad acid attacks and take priloc and Zantac almost every day! I also take my zofran every other day. It's worse when I'm dehydrated but struggle every day to get my 48oz in. If I don't drink all day long consistantly I fall behind. My month apt with the dietician is Monday and next Friday with the doctor. I guess I will find out how dehydrated I am then. Luckly I work in a hospital so I may just have someone put an iv in me so I can give my self some fluids -
Body Wraps...do They Really Work?
bubles089 replied to Queen In Me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm only a month out but I bathe my body in biooil at least twice a day. Also as soon as I'm released I'm going to do lots of weights and start yoga in a month or so. My friend had vsg 3 yrs ago and she said lifting and working on her Abs made a HUGE difference! She is in her mid 50s and did have a small tummy tuck but was told it would have been a lot more if she hasn't worked hard on her abs. I would love to know about the wraps because my stomach and chest is going to be my biggest issue. I'm only 27 but my boobs r already beyond saggy -

Hard Excersize With Little Calories
bubles089 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yesterday was my one month post op date and today was the first day I ventured back to the gym. After 20 mins on the elliptical I got super dizzy. Is it safe to be working out hard when I'm eating so little calories?? I had only had a 100 cal shake before my work out. I really want to get back into good shape but now am scared bc I feel like I can't push my self like I want to. My next dr apt isn't till next Friday. But I just want to maximize my weight loss and start building muscle! -
How often does everyone throw up?? I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and threw up today 3 times. I tried to eat like 3 chips with mango salsa ( was sitting in the break room and looked really good!) and then twice when I tried saltine with laughing cow tonight. It normally doesn't hurt when I throw up. Sometimes it's because my stomach feels like its stuck and sometimes my mouth waters and it just happens. I never know what will trigger it. One day fish is ok the next it's not. The only think I'm sure is ok it's soups and shakes. Am I hurting my stomach??? It's never like before my sleeve where my stomach cramps and flips its more like a baby spitting up, just regurgitating, sorry I know gross. But I guess stranger body functions are par for the course now. I just don't want to hurt my body but sometimes I feel bulimic lol.

I am 3 1/2 weeks out and exausted!! I started back at work and I do 12 hour shifts but only 1 at a time and half way through my shift I am exausted!!! Next week I have to do 2 in a row and am scared! I can barley keep my eyes open! I am getting all my fluids and protien in each day. Does anyone else have this problem and when does it get better?
-
Does anyone else wake up and feel incredibly nauseous? I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and the past few mornings I've woken up and struggle to get my shake in. It's to the point I have to take a zofran

10 Min "hot Flash"
bubles089 replied to mamitalosingit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the first 2 weeks post op every time I tried to get ready this happened I profusely sweated. I think part of it was dehydration because not much made my hr go to the 140s also your hormones are going crazy right now so that has a lot to do with it too -
I've been using bio oil twice a day. All the reviews say it will take away even silver stretch marks. My friend that has VSG over 2 years ago also stressed to me how important lifting was, she does a lot of lifting and ab work and her skin bounced back a lot!

It took me about a week and a half before I could -
Started mushy food 2 days ago and gained 2 lbs!!! I was sleeved on 8/28. I have been doing shakes, tomato soup with protien powder, small amt mashed potatoes with protien power. 2 string cheeses each day. And greek yogurt! I also walk an hour each day. I just don't get it!
-

30 Lbs Down, Cholest. Down, Glucose Up?!? What The Heck ?
bubles089 replied to Sheree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My bs fasting has been over 100 a few times in preop tests but non fasting it's been in the 80s. My endocrinologist said with fasting you can become a little dehydrated which can make it be slightly elevated. I wouldn't worry about 103 it's barely high -
Tomorrow I'm going to my best friends house to watch Monday night foot ball. I will be 13 days post op. my doctor won't let me start even mushy foods till day 14, and that may not even be Tuesday since I started shakes late because I had a rough first few days. I know pizza will be there. Pizza is my krytonite. I love it I ate it a few times a week pre op. I'm terrified. I don't want to not go because of a silly food and I miss seeing her. I am so scared I may break down and have a bite of pizza. I'm worried it will make me sick. I don't know I just thought I would post this since I can't talk to my friends or family about this because they would find it crazy! I know deep down this is crazy!!

Thanks guys, I decided to go because I miss my best friend so much. I decided to just bring some jello. She and her husband are the only 2 there that know I have had the surgery and I'm really not in the mood to talk about it with everyone else so I'm just going to tell them my stomach is upset so I don't feel like eating. I really appreciate the support

4 Days Post Op, Haven't Had A Bowel Movement?!?
bubles089 replied to salpal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 11 days out and I was like that, I was freaking out and now I wish I didn't because I'm having the opposite, losing half my fluids that way. Give it time your bowls need time to wake up. I know your probably sick of hearing walk, I know I sure was but walking and riding a stationary bike is finally what got everything moving. -
