Yep, I Overdid It... Lesson Learned!
cherrybombknits replied to imlosingit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Through a lot of trial and error I've found that 2-2.5 ounces is my limit. I have to weigh everything out because I can't eyeball it yet. -
Nsv: I Hadnt Seen The 250's In 20 Years!
cherrybombknits replied to IMSKINNY's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
We're so proud of you! And just think, in 10 lbs you'll never see the 250's again! -
Confuse Should We Snack Or Not Snack In Between The Three Hour Period?
cherrybombknits replied to Ms.Rosie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not familiar with the 3-hour thing. I eat 2.5-3 oz when I am hungry (usually 3-4 times a day). One of my big challenges pre-op was making sure I ate when I was only hungry instead of waiting until I was ravenous. Then I would binge, no good. -

Decided To Switch From Vsg To Rny
cherrybombknits replied to bakawaka's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good luck! -
A couple of my incision sites are kinda bumpy, so I was rubbing the one on my left side absentmindedly. I swear I felt a "pop" on the inside, like a pimple sorta. Now my left side hurts. The incision line isn't discolored at all, if fact it's flat now. I don't want to call my sugeons' office without a fever or something (they are a pain), but I am freaking out a little. Sleeved 10/4/12.

Felt A "pop" - Gross
cherrybombknits replied to cherrybombknits's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you everyone. It already feels better, just a little tender. I will keep an eye on it and report any further weirdness. -
Welcome to the loser's bench!

Skin Tiightening Procedures? What Non Surgical Works?
cherrybombknits replied to mommy794's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I will be getting a wrap before a family reunion in about a month, but I don't care if it only lasts a few days. I just want to feel super-cute while I'm there. -
32 lbs in one month? Work it you scarless wonder!

My master plan is to make this a liveable lifestyle change. Eating only twice a day and working out an hour every day may give you results, but not everyone can sustain that long-term. The sleeve is our tool, ultimately we need to make sure we use it in the right way for us.

Yeesh! I'd be happy if I lose 20 lbs by then. I'm not sure these surgeons know what they are talking about. At my 1 week f/u my surgeon bitched me out for not going to the gym?!? A lot of us are emotional eaters; the extra judgements and stress aren't helpful.

Junk Food. Why?
cherrybombknits replied to SleeveShelly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A packet of pretzel M&M's and I had a staredown last night at the drugstore checkout stand. I won, but it wasn't easy. I miss crunchy foods! -
Post Op Octosleevers 2012. Welcome To The Losers Bench!
cherrybombknits replied to SkinnyMinnie2Be's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Your sister is right. Keep up the good work! -
Another thing to add: make sure you have an adequate cool-down period. I doubled my cool-down from 5 to 10 minutes walking last night and woke up with much less soreness.

I love pickles, why haven't I wanted any yet? All this pickle talk is making me wistful, but not hungry. -

Don't be embarrassed. I told the tech I was going to ralph and he told me to do what I had to and handed me another bottle of ick. -
Going To The Toilet...?
cherrybombknits replied to able2cope's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take some sugar-free fiber chewables every few days to keep things moving. -
The common belief is that it will introduce more air into your itty bitty stomach. I feel like I drank more when I could use my camelback bottle. Regular water bottles just aren't the same.

*I still overeat at parties. *I advanced my diet to real food weeks before schedule with few ill affects so far. *I don't know what I am going to do while my water aerobics class is on hiatus over the holidays. * I tell people that "I had a biopsy and they took out part of my stomach". *I can see and feel that I'm thinner, but I don't feel any thinner. -
Nsv - I Had To Buy A Belt!
cherrybombknits replied to cherrybombknits's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Thank you! The jeans kept folding and slipping under the belt, I may have to just give up on that pair. Still luv the belt. -
We were walking around today and my jeans kept slipping. I decided to buy the sparkliest belt I could find to celebrate.

Article: Technology Helps With Fitness Goals
cherrybombknits replied to COsleeveDude's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Right now I am using MFP to track my food/protein/water and Endomundo Pro for my interval runs (c25k style). Everything is on my phone, including VST. Couldn't do this without the technological support.
