I would like a little cheese with my whine
Ballermom replied to gamergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I felt like that too early out. I was dehydrated. Don't be afraid go an Urgent care and get an IV and blood work done if you need it. You will have ups and downs but you will be Successful. I like that you have been active on this forum too. Be proactive in getting the care and follow up you need. Only a professional can check your blood levels Symptoms and treat you.many people had to get an IV if needed. If not push fluids protein and more walking. Good luck. -
I use syntax nectar premier shakes. Like fish, chicken Occasional red meat Fruit Yogurt Tea coffee water Don't like Sweets Bread Pasta Cutting out slider foods Popcorn My biggest mistake is when I was cleared to eat all foods I did and didn't understand the importance of protein dense foods. Which my weight to me. Was slower. Good luck

What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
Ballermom replied to bigjoe102's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
1. I went to the Wedding of a very close friend took pictures. The picture for that day is my before picture I was astonished of my weight After looking at that picture. 2. I have not been active since I got a torn meniscus and i still receive shots in my knees. I was riding my bike before that injury 4 times a week at 220lbs. 3. Most importantly my 5 year old would cry To go with my skinny Neighbor and her kids to the park because I was winded getting to the mailbox! 4. Have 5 boys who play or played basketball and I could nt even climb on the bench without moderate pain. I want to at least get back on my bike. Friends wedding and now! -

From what took me 5 1/2 months to learn Sliders foods will slow your weight loss! Look up slider foods vs Protein dense foods Wish I'd realize that sooner. Good luck

Slow losers..... Motivational steps
Ballermom replied to Ballermom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was stalling around 204lb up 1 pound then back down 1 for weeks. I had to go back to basics. I did the 5daypouchtest.com it work to decrease cravings for sliders. Popcorn OMG. I was addicted. Well that pouch test broke that carvings for sliders. Went from 204 to 199lbs by the 5th day. The goods news is I went into ketosis with it and lost another 2 pounds! Stalling again today but I understand more between dense protein in the pyloric sphincter vs sliders foods. I was eating like I had already lost all the weight. Before the pouch test. Lol -

4 weeks post op questions
Ballermom replied to amb24697's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well my Nut told me that people end up back in the hospital sick because a lack of protein. Syntax Nectar has many flavors you can try BJ bariatrics, I get mine from the Vitamin shoppe, and premier are my favorite. For the hunger and pain try a PPI Like Prilosec next call your Nut ASAP. Physician for the pain. Good luck! -

Why am I ashamed that I had to have WLS?
Ballermom replied to gamergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had unexpected issue that sprung up right before my surgery so I decided to only tell family. No body at work. Able to keep it a secret till 70 lbs later, boy do they ask, and ask, even got told they assumed that I had the sleeve surgery. Lol Well now I've even had to say it my business. Because of other issues health I'm keeping it private. Well after going through the constant barrage of questioning daily at work only, Had it to do over again I'd be open!!!!! I just even have to walk away from some people. Because of the privacy nature I chose. People will talk any way you cut it. On a flip side, I recently told my son girlfriend and and I was totally glad to tell. And had peace and praises! -
Congrats on your surgery.

Ballermom replied to Success2013's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am 5'6 starting at 267 lbs day of surgery 260 lbs. 2/27 By week three lost 21 lbs. then also hit a stall. Below approx. numbers 2nd month -15lbs 3rd month -13 lbs lost 4 months -10 Months 5 -12 lbs lost.Yay I use My fitness Pal but haven't tracked all the time. My typical day includes syntax nectar Protein shake. Tuna salad, eggs, or Wendy's half salad and coffee Maybe fish for dinner and green tea. My blood pressure went from 170/100 and a trip to the Which i went o the ER felt sick to drumroll 109/76. I recently did the 5daypouchtest.com diet I was 204lbs up 1 pound down 1 pound for 2 weeks. but after test I went down 5 lbs got to 199lbs Yay. Onderland! I'm So Excited, So yea, I kept loosing now I'm 196 lbs. Onderland! Loving my sleeve -
I was stalling more and more so I started the 5daypouchtest.com I was 204lbs for like 2 weeks then after my theist was over I went to 199lbs Onerdland. Yay But it mostly cut my craving for Sliders like Popcorn, cashews, and Protein from fast foods. I learned to eat better and not like I'm already in maintenance. I've been eating like that for a few months. Lol Then afterwards I guess that diet put me into ketosis because I lost faster afterwards. Even you can re examine what you eat look for slider foods and just go back to basics.

How long till you felt human
Ballermom replied to pjknitts's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't say exact because each person is different. But each each week is different. I was shopping at 1 1/2 weeks with whatever energy I had. I so would keep in touch with your Nut if i were you, in this case because I found out That i needed vitamin b 12 and a mutil and calcium. Any time I skip protein and protein shakes to this day I'm weak even at 5 1/2 months out Good luck
