Did anyone buy skinny clothes before they lost?
suryfer replied to Stacie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a huge bag full of "skinny" clothes when I used to weigh 130 lbs in high school because these are super cute and super expensive outfits that don't really go out of style and I can't part with. I'm hoping to fit in them by summer or the end of summer Can't wait! -
Thank you!! I was sleeved on 2/11...tonight i'll be joining a support group for WLS patients so I'm looking forward to that.

Nagaraj, You are right. I going to try and stay calm and focus more on my Protein intake. I haven't been writing anything down and today I started doing that, just to make sure I stay withing 800-900 cals. I have my first doctor follow-up today so lets see how it goes. I'll keep you updated. Thanks again for the words of comfort :001_tongue: Sury -

What does it mean if food feels clogged in your throat?
suryfer replied to pumpkin07's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pumpkin: You are not alone. I feel the same way regarding not being able to eat yummy food! I was sleeved 2 days after you in Houston, TX by Dr. Miranda. I feel miserable on this liquid diet! I want to at least eat tuna or chicken or even Baby food!!! When I smell food that others are eating around me my mouth waters! I think about sushi (my favorite food) and my mouth waters! I know this is all mental but it is really disturbing me! I have an appt with a doctor tomorrow and I'm going to discuss these feelings with him and hoping that maybe I can join a support group or something because it's worrying me! :tongue_smilie: How much weight have you lost since your surgery? I've only lost 9 lbs and it worries me as well, don't know If it's ok or too little... Sury -
A word about stalls-losing pounds and sizes

A word about stalls-losing pounds and sizes
suryfer replied to tennessee1031's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
JeepChick, That's so awesome about your weight loss! I'm very worried because I'm almost 2 weeks post op and have only lost 9 lbs :tongue_smilie: Does that sound normal? My friend had the surgery on Feb. 11th the same day as me and she has lost 17 lbs!! I'm still on my liquid diet (and hating it) and don't understand! Am I doing something wrong? -
2nd month after VSG over today !!
suryfer replied to nagaraj's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
That's awesome Nagaraj!! Ok, I need some comfort because I'm worried! This coming Thur will be 2 weeks post op for me and so far I've only lost 9 lbs!!! I started at 211 and I'm not at 202! My friend that had surgery the same day that I did also started at 211 and is now at 194!!! What am I doing wrong! I feel so depressed :tongue_smilie: I am still on the liquid diet and believe to be doing everything fine! I don't understand what is going on? Am I not meant to lose weight? I'm sorry I'm having a breakdown here Also, can someone tell me how I can make a new post?? I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find it ! Thanks Sury -
Kerri, Who is your surgeon? I just had surgery in Houston, TX with Dr. Fernando Miranda. I definitely recommend you stay at least 1 night! I have a very low tolerance for pain and after surgery I was in quite a bit of pain, plus you get to have a morphine drip (at least I did), not only that but you need to be on IV fluids for at least 24 hours! I don't see how this can be an outpatient procedure. Does he give you the option to stay hospitalized? Ok, keep in touch....when is your surgery scheduled for? Sury

Mini-Me: I'm drinking Water and chewing on ice chips with no problem, I'm just worried that I won't have enough of it and might get dehydrated! The last thing I want to do is end up at the hospital with an IV :biggrin0: I also have the SF Popsicles. We'll see, I'm going to buy the Crystal light and that Special K water to see how it goes. Thanks for your message :001_smile: Sury

Hi,
I traveled to Houston, TX for my surgery and I live in Miami FL. Unfortunately I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes to pain
I to have to do a 2 week liquid diet, but mine does include protein shakes, yogurt, SF Popsicles, light juices, broth, creamy soups, etc. After the 2 weeks then I could start on my mushies. My incisions are ok I guess, they still have the little stirry stripes over them, they haven't fallen off yet But it is starting to itch around them. I did find a local doctor in which will do my follow-up visits and then I'll return to Houston for my 6mo, 9mo, and 1 yr follow-ups.
One annoying thing I have noticed is that I get thirsty and I feel like gulping down the water and I can't! I hate that because I usually drink a lot of water, also I can't sleep on my side
I have to sleep on my back only for now and it sucks!!Oh well, Hope you are doing fine...take care..

What do you want to do that you couldn't do before the sleeve?
suryfer replied to *susan*'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Wow! Reading all these stories is just amazing and encourages me so much! Well, I am just 1 week post-op and so eager to start losing. But before I got to a horrible 211lbs I used to be a very active girl. I used to jog, ride bike, do spinning and step classes at the gym and most importantly used to compete in Duathlon and Triahlons. I want to be able to compete in a triathlon again. Be able to easily transition between a swim, bike, and run without any problem at all or feeling like my heart and longs were going to pop out and collapse! I am so excited I have made this decision and so eager to get to the point where a lot of you are at!!! Thanks again for all these wonderful posts! Sury -
Hi, Tomorrow will be 1 week post-op for me, and today has been a very bad day! I have hardly had any liquids and I feel like I have pigged out! I feel very fulll! The most I've had is a sugar free pudding cup. I was just chewing on some ice because I'm terrified of dehydration. Has this happened to anyone? Thanks! Sury

First Horrible Experience...anyone else?
suryfer replied to I Can and I Will's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Shutterbug and Thinoneday: Thank you so much for your messages! I was really scared last night! Thought of ripping my sleeve were going through my head! Needless to say, I didn't fall asleep till about 2 am! The episodes went away, but I really do think it was the yogurt that was too thick and too late! I did call my doctor's office today and the nurse confirmed it was most likely that. She said I could have yogurt, however to make sure I dilute it with Water and make sure it's not that cold so that my stomach doesn't have any spasms. This morning I have that "full" feeling, I couldn't even finish my 4 oz Protein shake! Now I know I learned my lesson. And I'm so anxious to be over these "healing" days!! Thanks again for your quick responses!! Sury -
First Horrible Experience...anyone else?
suryfer replied to I Can and I Will's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok, I'm freaking out! I'm about 1 week post op and i'm experiencing these weird stomach pains that come and go! Feels like small contractions! I've been doing pretty well on the liquid diet, but tonight I had a small amount of yogurt mixed with my medications (yuck) right before bedtime and then a little while after that the pains started! Has this happened to anyone else? Help! Was the yogurt maybe too thick? -
I'm almost 1 week post-op and I'm burping a whole lot! One weird episode I had tonight was weird stomach cramps that come and go. It felt like contractions! I don't know if maybe I ate too late or the yogurt I had was too thick but it freaked me out! Has anything like this happened to anyone before?

Hello Everyone, I was just sleeved on Feb. 11th and now still a little painful in my abdomen. I am also having problems crushing and taking my pills. I tried it with Jello and it made me gag. Next I will try apple juice to see how it goes. I fly back home tomorrow and I'm a little worried about the pain and going on the plane tomorrow. We'll see....has anyone been able to take in all the Protein and Water they are supposed to have? I'm at about half of it.
