Happy One Month Surgiversary 2/6 Sleevers
mommy794 replied to BluebonnetMagonlia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was stalled too but finally down 2# I just can't believe it's been a MONTH already! Feeling good and getting used to my built in tool! Lol Sent from my iPhone using VST -
Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are -completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different... borrowed from Laurie Acree... words of wisdom

1 Month Post Opp Today... Wth!
mommy794 replied to JustShaunda's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Today's my 1 mo surgiversary too. I have lost 22 including pre op diet. 14 since surgery. Weighed 180 this morning. And I just started working out this week. 35 sounds super to me! Wish I was down that much! Lol but I'm short and lower end BMI so I exspect it will come off alittle slower. I agree TOM Plus weight training will add alittle Water weight for a couple of weeks but it will come off. Sent from my iPhone using VST -

What Exercise Do You Do And When Did You Start?
mommy794 replied to Debvzw's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had surg 2-6 total with the 1 week pre op liquids is 21# ... I can't figure out my PIN # to update my ticker LOL. I'm short 5'0" and weighed 205 initially lost a couple then did liquids, 195 day of surgery. Now 182. I would like it to be faster, but I just started exercising consistenly this week bc I have been tired from surgery and off work. Now I'm back in a routine since I'm back to work. I thought that was a nice touch, everyone who my Dr. does surg for gets the gym membership which is all connected to the hospital network where I work and had my VSG done. So I'm def going to take advantage of that to get it good shape by summer and my 20 year wedding anniversay Aug 28 -
What Exercise Do You Do And When Did You Start?
mommy794 replied to Debvzw's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will be 4 weeks post op Monday and right now I'm walking on the treadmill 30-45 min at a time, and I bought some 3# hand weights that I can sit at my desk and do 25 reps of this exercise and that exercise for my arms thru out the day as I have time. When I go back to my Dr. around March 20 he will give me a release for "full" exercise and my 6 month FREE voucher for a gym that came with my surgery and 6 personal trainer visits. SOOOO I'm ready to try that...kind of scared but it will be a new fun learning experience I suppose -
How Much Protein Is Required?
mommy794 replied to vampsy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use the unjury chocolate with the high protein skim milk "Mootopia" from HEB, if you have the chain in your area. The unjury is 20 g and the mootopia is 12g protein and 6 carbs for 8 oz...so 32g protein for a 8 oz shake. I really LIKE it... been trying to drink this for breakfast and before bed everyday. -
HEB 160 calories 6 oz serving 25 Protein 4 carbs. Warning alittle spicy but they have other favors available 2 for $5! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Awww darn! HEB is awesome! well maybe u can find something similar

February 2012 Surgery Dates- Who's Ready?
mommy794 replied to Dooter's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Same here ! Losing slow or stopping here n there but I exspected it since I was a lower BMI but I guess that's better than not at all or losing 30 and gaining back 35 and never getting even close to what I want to weigh like I have the past 17 yrs. I guess slow n steady wins the race right???? Sent from my iPhone using VST -
It most likely from the mild ketosis you are probably in since surgery due to low calories, burning fat, and the low amount of carbs you are eating. Just drink ALOT of Water and gargle and brush. Be glad ur fat burning Machine is kicking in!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm 5'0" and was 205 now 3.5 weeks post op I'm at 180. I'm 42 and also had high cholesterol bp creeping up joint pains and scoliosis soooo I figured I mite as well do this before I get any older! I'm VERY happy with it so far and have had NO problems or complications thank God ! I have no problems drinking at all and no problems eating any thing I have tried thus far. Except when I take the dreaded ONE bite too much! Then I feel like I could vomit for about 30 min but I haven't. I hope to be posting some of the amazing after photos when I'm about 6 mo out like everyone on here does! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ok I'm confused on idol! Which guy couldn't stay so they brought another back and why??? They never explained it unless I missed it???

Mine took about 2 weeks to approve. Thy were real helpful when I did call to ask some questions and make sure they had all the info they needed from surgeon and me. And at the end of the call she said good news! There's a note in your file saying your approved! I got a letter in the mail a few days later. The process was pretty painless Sent from my iPhone using VST

What Weight Do You Have To Be? And How Much Does It Cost
mommy794 replied to lakindberg's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Depends on your BMI google BMI calculator. Most have to be 40 or above unless u have other health problems then maybe BMI low as 35. Depends on your height and weight. And cost for cash pay varies from 8k to 20k just have to shop around but it's cheaper in Mexico maybe 5- 6k ??? Sent from my iPhone using VST -
3 1/2 Weeks Out And Stalled Again
mommy794 replied to lovePINK's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm just now 3 weeks out and down 20 but I think the KEY to keep telling ourselves is ... We never kept the weight OFF before THIS time we WILL! I keep that in my mind at all times. Ya I've lost the same 35# about 35x in the past 17 yrs but this time when I get to 165 which is 15# away for me right now I KNOW that I will never weigh 200 again! So that's my personal 1st goal. I haven't been at that weight in 11 yrs. I can't wait !!!! and I hope I get there maybe by the time I'm 2mo post op. Just keep your eye on the prize! Sent from my iPhone using VST -
