I am 11 months out and had to have mine removed last week. He also removed some scar tissue and made some alterations to my hernia repair (from original surgery). I have to say it sucks because I am back on a liquid diet mainly due to the hernia issue. Knowing what I know now and if I was given the option, I would of had it removed in the beginning.

October 2012 sleevers whats your progress?
blumoongirl replied to Indigoflgrl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How is everyone doing? I started at 270 now at 190. Really was hoping to hit 100 at my year mark (oct 23) but don't think it is going to happen. Unless my gallbladder weighs 20 lbs. That sucker is coming out on Wednesday. -
Need some tips for gallstones!

My ultrasound came back with stones. Surgery scheduled for next Wednesday. Mixed emotions about having it removed since I have not had too many attacks. But they are pretty bad when they happen. Plus I hear the diarrhea is miserable after it is out. -

I had an ultrasound and blood work last week. Waiting on results. I've had about 3 major attacks over the past 4 months. Lastest one today starting at 2p. Still suffering. I thought it was gas too. I was hoping not to have it removed but signs are pointing that way. -

How did you deal with the pain during your attacks? -
Now that the fat is starting to go away, my butt is starting to sag. What do you think is the best solution for saggy butt? Squats? Lunges? I don't have time to do a full workout everyday so I need something to do in the morning and night.

Any particular challenge? Looks like a few out there.

Feeling motivated already!

I confess.. I ate a decent size piece of cake today...and almost barfed. I didnt get my husband anything good for his 40th bday (no relation to cake). Love that people are finally seeing the weightloss. Honestly i think it has to do with some new bras -

Sleeved on Oct 23rd. I have no real issues which is becoming an issue. I can eat pretty much anything so I have have to be careful. SW 270, CW 225. -
I started today and didn't blow out my knee. That's promising. I am working towards doing a 5k in April.

blumoongirl replied to happytobehere's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey, 23rd here too. What did u guys eat today for Thanksgiving? I cut my turkey REALLY small and mixed with potatoes and gravy...only two ounces. I was excited since the only meat I have eaten in tuna. So sick of tuna. -
Do you count the protein in milk towards your protein total or just your fluid total?

At The Weight I Would Always Give Up...
blumoongirl replied to Ruffus's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I totally understand. I was telling my husband the same thing. I am three weeks post op today and have been at the same weight for a week. Sucks. But everyone says this is normal so thats what keeps me going. Plus the fact that I have no choice than to eat soft foods. -
Break It To Me Gently!
blumoongirl replied to wnicoleb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Done. Easy. And I even had a tricky one that didnt want to come out. Nothing compared to that dang drain. That thing almost killed me. -

Good question. I am in the waiting room now about to get mine out. It cant be worse than c-section staples. -
Me too. Sleeved the same day. I thought i would not want to even see food but i could easily take a bite out of a chicken nugget...of course I am being strong.

Post Op Day 4! Feeling A Ok!
blumoongirl replied to healthiermom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How are you guys sleeping. On day 4 and can only sleep sitting up. -
I was sleeved on 23rd too and went home yesterday. Drain incision seems to be the worst pain for me now. And some reflux. Felt really good in the morning but the drive home was rough.
