Best and worst "compliments"
mandymae replied to Healthier2day1227's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
At first I was getting a crap load of compliments on my hair. "Your hair looks great!" Umm. Thanks, but I don't think it's my hair, I think it's the missing 30 lbs. lol. -

Hoping a vet or two is lurking here, since I can't post on their page ... I'm a year out, and have been in maintenance for about 3 months ... I'm still cold. All. The. Time. I have the heat set in 73 and everybody else is walking around nearly naked while I'm in sweats and under blankets. STILL. When does this regulate? Get better? Stop?? (Lol, please tell me it does).

8 months post op, and new pain
mandymae replied to mandymae's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Guess I should find a specialist? Gastro doc, or sleeve surgeon?? I went to Mexico for surgery, so I don't have a doc. Also, this has happened a total of 3 times over the last month and a half or so. I don't think it's an emergency, but may well hit the er the next time it strikes ... -
8 months post op, and new pain
mandymae replied to mandymae's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm hurting on the left, though. -
Hi all, I'm occasionally experiencing excruciating left side, right below my rib, pain. This is so bad, I begin to sweat, feel disoriented, and have shortness of breath. I'm shaky and feel drained for hours afterward. Anyone ever experience anything similar? This has happened 3 times in the last month, and I'm curious.

I read here somewhere a similar story, and it turned out the lady's thyroid had just all the sudden stopped. Might want to get some blood work done. -

Are you sure he wasn't being sarcastic?? My ex husband was master of sarcasm, and that's exactly what that sounds like to me. I think it might have been a backwards attempt at a joke. -
I gained 2 lbs the week I went on regular foods. I attributed it to the fact that I was not getting many calories at all prior to that. I really struggled to find Protein drinks that I could tolerate, therefore, I was hardly getting anything. I stalled there for one week, but since then I've continued to drop about 2lbs per week. I haven't treated this like a diet at all. I've not measured anything or prohibited anything that I'm not willing to do without for the rest of my life. If I avoid food that I will someday want and will eat again (my definition of diet), I will only gain it back. I look at it as my way of life now. My rules are only these: Clear fluids, as much as I can drink, all day long. Protein first - and I'll admit that when I pay attention to the grams of protein the scale moves faster. Fruits or veggies next. Carbs absolutely last, and I generally don't have room for them. As of today, I've lost 39 lbs since surgery 1/18. My starting Bmi was 32.

Nsaids after surgery!
mandymae replied to shelbyshumyers's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon sent us home with toradol for pain!! I hear what everybody is saying, because my mom has gasteroparysis (sp?) from taking Celebrex every day for 10 years (lupus). But, I was sent home from the hospital with toradol, so I'm finding it hard to believe that I can't pop two Advil occasionally. -

*treated* not grated. Lol. Although that also got on my nerves ...

I was sleeved on 1/18 in Mexico ... My Bmi was 32 at that time, but I was also being grated for high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and I am high risk for developing diabetes. I'm not yet at goal, but now only 20 lbs from it!! I haven't been this small (size 14) since my early 20s. Lol. I'm just so happy about all this!!
