Oh Goodlife that is great, my 6 weeks was yesterday but my doc does his post op different, I'm so proud for you and it only gets better.way to go girlfriend. I can't exercise alot either because of RA in knee's but we'll get there, slow and sure happy and healthy.:thumbup: -
Thanks for the situp info, I too have been lifting my smallest grand, that is so cute about the belly buttons. Little girls are special.Mine keeps telling me my legs are still fat..guess she thinks it was a magic melt fat off surgery.lol:lol0:

Questions you wish you asked before surgery?
cwalker replied to Papillon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What size bougie..I still don't know. lol Good Luck! -
I had a 3 week stall at 3 weeks.lol. Hang in there and measure to see if inches are coming off then you're doing great. I feel better too but only walking 1 mile a day..being kind to my knee's. I have gone from 18w jeans to 16 and they are getting loose.YAY!! I'm still trying to work this tool but my loss is satisfactory to me:) and I'm 6 weeks out tommorrow. Does anyone know when we can start sit-ups and other exercises?Carla:confused1:

OMG I got a B12 shot yesterday am bout 3weeks post op
cwalker replied to bigjay's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told I might need b12 shots as it is the only vitamin we don't absorb as well so my pcp gave me a shot @ 4 weeks out and it was a energy booster for a few days! Good Luck!!:thumbup1: -
10 pounds in two weeks
cwalker replied to Lovingme2011's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think 10 lbs is awesome!! Tommorrow is my 6 weeks anniversary but for the first 2 weeks my loss was even with yours.Your body is in shock and it'll even itself out just stick with the program and try to exercise some. I'm not lighting any fires but doing my own thing at my own pace. I believe it'll only get better. :thumbup1: Carla:thumbup: -
How are all ya'll April sleevers doing? Any updates? It is amazing to see your own body changing, shifting.lol My taste have changed for sure...just wondering about ya'll.Carla:biggrin0:

It took me 8 days, it may have been sooner but the office person said I'll let you know when I know but at 8 days I called her anyway and had surgery 9 days later. Good Luck and keep us posted so we can move over for you!! Carla:lol0:

can we have strawberries at 22 days out, I thought I saw a post where we werent supposed to have them but I had ! with a little nutella now I'm wondering if the seeds were bad for me or something? Carla:confused1:

bring something loose to wear home, sip,sip,sip,walk,walk,walk and be kind to yourself and rest. I think the fluids are very important and unflavored protein helped me, although you dont need to stress over protein at first, it helped me heal, I'll be a month post op this Saturday. I love the sleeve. You'll do great just make some broth or buy egg drop soup and crystal light popsicles.

I'm in a stall too for last week and half, and I step on the scale 3 times a day, ugh!! We leave Friday on 9 days vacation wondering if I can leave scale at home.lol

you need to put YOU first Take time to heal and maybe things will be better and if not you'll know you went the extra mile. Carla

surgery in less than 24 hours!
cwalker replied to erh92's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
something loose since your stomach will be swollen, I wore a housecoat home that hung from my shoulders but I had a 2 hr drive home. houseshoes or flip-flops. Good Luck!! -
i too added unflavored whey protein to everythin just to get it it and I felt so much better, like 3 days out my energy increased alot, the fluid is really important,I drank special k20 protein water from the pharmacy too.Good luck.

Yeah my 4yr old granddaughter loves the nutella and strawberries and it looked so good I ate ONE and then got scared, I sent it home with them because I could seriously eat it by itself.lol:001_smile:
