One Week Update.... Weight Loss, Protein Issues And "cheating"
mdefabio replied to Jadesatin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Be careful about lifting boxes and stuff with your move. You shouldn't lift anything for a least 6 weeks. you could open up your staples. -

Well, here goes........I confess that I've had a couple of glasses of wine at separate times with dinner, that I've eaten some chocolate, cake, Cookies, pastries and ice cream (just a forkful or two) that I'm not excercising like I should be. that its extremely hard for me to give up carbs but I'm trying very hard and doing the best I can. I promise......that tomorrow will be a better day. -
I had pain for weeks on both my sides but mainly the left side. It would come and last for days then go away for a day or two then come back. My surgeon told me she had to stitch up some muscles and that was it. The more active I became (walking) the more the pain would come back until finally healed and is gone for good. Good luck!!!!!

Hmmmm. So far have not found that anything tastes different. It still tastes the same to me. I wish cakes, cookies, candy, chocolate and chips tasted disgusting to me, but no such luck!!!!!

I try to eat fruit, but when that doesn't cut it, I eat a piece or two of Hersheys Dark Chocolate Mini's.

Hi Emily, I'm from Lindenhurst, Long Island. I had my VSG on July 11, 2012. I'm down 37 lbs. I was sleeved in North Shore, LIJ Syosset. My surgeon was Dr. Heather McMullen. I'm so happy I did it. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Good Luck with yours, Maria

I'm 8 weeks out and I've had thin crust pizza twice already. No problems!!!!

yes, I had chest pain and upper back pain (between my shoulders) and it was all gas. It broke up after a few days. Try taking some Gas X and see if it helps.

If your leg aches, I would call the doctor.

How Much To Lose Without Getting Denied?
mdefabio replied to Paigers's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes, I know what you meant. I'm feeling great. I'm so thankful that I didn't donate my smaller size clothes because that's what I'm wearing now. I am going to donate my larger clothes that I was wearing pre surgery because I never want to wear them again. I started out at 271 lbs and am now 236 lbs. Oops that's 35 lbs. My goal is 150 lbs. so 86lbs to go. I'm averaging about 1/2 lb a day and am loving it. -

Whats Worse Child Birth Or Vsg?

I had two c-sections and that wasn't so bad. VSG wasn't that bad either. I'm on the fence!!!!!! -
I Have A Odd 10 Day Diet
mdefabio replied to ArtSong's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
it sounds fine to me. very much like my pre op diet. I did have some protein shakes though. Your nutritionist must that's enough protein. They mainly want to shrink the fat in your liver to make the surgery a little easier for them. The protein shakes should come full force in the two weeks post op. Good Luck. -

Family Doctor Unsupportive Of Wls

I guess I was lucky also. My surgeon wrote the insurance company the letter and sent everything to the insurance comany. My PCP filled out paper work for my clearance. -
48 Hrs After Surgery
mdefabio replied to printerman68's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a bm right away. Very watery. I'm six weeks out and its still watery. But if you don't go soon, I would try some Colace or someother stool softener. I didn't sleep in my bed for a week. I slept on my recliner. It was much easier to get up and down. I didn't have a drain so can't help you there. Good Luck to you. -
