It's Awesome that you are feeling so good. I like that idea of hard when you feel up to it hold on to the plans for increased activity. Bike riding is also my favorite. Congrats

How long were you off work?
Ballermom replied to Cindeez's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
6 weeks. I do heavy lifting. -
That is the reason why I don't explain my surgery to others only when I think it will benefit them. Then on the 1 occasion that I did I educated them to the point where the might join us. This Sleeve Surgery was a great decision. Lowered my blood pressure faster than All the herbal or Natural stuff I ever tried. Plus the hcg diet didn't work. Lol

Frustrated with pain

Praying that you are feeling better. -
Totally normal. At 4.5 months out I don't like sweets, bread, pasta and more. But it's not a lost because I didn't need them anyway. But everyone is different. Your taste buds will improve.

No regrets. and I agree with others I wished I'd done this sooner. My family member is struggling with borderline high blood pressure but, mine has improved from 170/100 to 109/72 or lower since my sleeve and I love it. I only pray for my family member and I have inspired them to eat better and exercise.

Frustrated with pain
Ballermom replied to gerrybee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would say yes I had some discomfort like that when I get full but mildly. But for the past month it's been better I just avoid being too full now. Glad your seeing your physician they can run test. That's the best thing for you is a professional opinion. And please continue following up too. Good luck -

stall and weight gain?!
Ballermom replied to Onesassychick79's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yea, it's the infamous 3week stall. Happens to many of us. Just stay with the plan. Try my fitness pal where you chart your food intake stay accountable. Relax, and get your water and protein in. Try or continue your exercise routine whatever you been cleared to do by you physician. Good luck -

Good question Maybe some one can chime in but skinny sex is a term we coined here. For me, At my heaviest I couldn't get in certain positions like on top etc. Now my libido is higher and I'm less tired with 60lbs loss. Hope some one else will answer your question too with their opinion. -
I absolutely don't miss my old habits or food. I'm satisfied. But what I got is 1. Blood pressure from 170/100 to 109/72 sometimes lower. 2. Loss 60lbs in 4 months 3. No more meds for migraine headaches, knee pain. Frequent trips to the bathroom. Gone! I just posted this under another thread. But I love my sleeve! I couldnt really buy better health and a normal blood pressure! Thanks to the sleeve I got it. Good luck
