Parents:When you're angry at your children, weigh your need to vent that anger against your want for your child to be a happy, healthy, well-adjusted adult. The smallest slip of the tongue, let alone the hand, can cause life-long wounds - Not scars - wounds.Keep in mind that you have a lifetime of being a mature adult under your belt and your child is just that. A child. Assert more patience and love into everything you say and do with your child, no matter how much you already show to th...

220# - another 3# loss this week.

Try a SF popsicle - if that doesn't stay down I'd limit my intake for a day or two. Everybody's sleeve is different and tolerates things differently.

A lot of people experience water nausea post op. Have you tried warm broth or something other than water?

This past week has been a roller coaster ride of emotions - from joy at hearing that my gram.was going to be OK, to sadness and sorrow when she passed two days later.. I'm grateful to have such an amazing support system of friends, coworkers, and family. Thank you all for lending a bit of your strength to help me get through it.

Alright I get it, it's 4/20, you're excited. Now STFU about it already! If you're "celebrating" then by all means please enjoy yourself and don't do anything stupid, but I don't "celebrate" and I don't care that you are, so stop posting it for the whole world to see.

I was on a keto-diet with 30-40g of carbs per day. One symptom or side effect of ketosis is vertigo or dizziness, but just like with any medication, not everyone will experience all symptoms. I agree that OP may be having BP issues they may want to have checked.
-
What's your normal daily carb intake? There's a strong possibility that you're ketotic. I had the same issue last year and couldn't figure it out for the life of me - I even went to the Dr. The first question he asked me was how many carbs I was getting a day.

I had that issue as well - my surgeon had me on pepcid but I switched myself to Zantac 425's OTC and took one right before bed. No more heartburn!

What is my child's obsession with sleeping anywhere but his bed? My bed, the floor, UNDER his bed, under MY bed... Such a weirdo...

Holy freaking crap! I got all my protein in and lemme tell you and am soooo freaking full! It took me an hour and a half to eat the 8oz of chicken that it took to get my protein in, but I did it! Two hard boiled eggs for breakfast and 8oz of chicken for lunch and I really have no desire to eat ANYTHING for dinner... I have lived on chicken and fish for 15 years (I don't eat red meat or pork) but after today if I never eat another piece of chicken it'll be too soon.

Thank you

That's my grandmother. She passed away Tuesday so I changed my pic in her memory.

It wasn't all at once - I've been working on it for an hour and a half - basically from about 1:30-3:00. I was basically taking a bite or two every 15mins or so.

2 Week + Post Op Food Tolerance
Lilee84 replied to CaliKat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Based on the knowledge that everyone's experience is different and everyone's sleeve tolerates things differently, I'd say it's totally normal. I for one am jealous that it's going so well for you - there are many of us who are still having trouble even months out! -
It's that time again where you get to b!tch, gripe or moan about whatever's eating you without fear of judgement or reproach, so let's hear it! Alright alright, so we may secretly judge you, but we don't even know what reproach means so you're safe there Gripe away!

I thought of you with love today but that's nothing new; I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part ; God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

And here you are... We must all suffer from one of two pains; the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is that discipline weighs ounces and lasts a moment while regret weighs tons and lasts a lifetime! - Jim Rohn

I need 8 more oz of protein for the day and so far I've only been able to eat 3... I don't think I'm gonna make it and my surgeon was adament today about making sure I get my fluids and proteins in... Grrr!

Question For The Guru Sleevers!
Lilee84 replied to txchickinla's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm one of the worst about protein shakes - I don't use them at all, but I was told by my Dr today that I'm not getting my protein in so now I HAVE to have at least 1 a day, with milk since I don't do that either... -
Healthy Snacks At 2-3 Months Out
Lilee84 replied to Jlo77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had a single graham cracker sheet with a tbsp of reduced fat PB. I also eat fruit, or grab a slice of sandwich meat, or some baby carrots/raw broccoli with ranch dip, a yogurt, applesauce, basically whatevers handy that doesn't scream "you may as well just rub me on your thighs cause I'm headed straight there anyway" when i look at it -
I'm doing OK - Still having some issues eating and have to take a zofran about 30mins before I eat. Not always, but frequently. Also having issues getting my fluids in but I've only hit 80oz once since surgery, and 30 of those 80oz were wine. LOL! My weight loss has slowed to about 2-3lbs per week, which is actually OK by me since it will help to minimize skin issues. Other than those few things its been a great experience!

Anybody have any questions they want me to ask? I'm sitting in the waiting room now

90 years ago an angel was born, tonight she went home again. I love you Grammy - I'll miss you more than words and I'm thankful for every moment we spent together.
