11 weeks post op...
Lovechunks replied to 140icandoit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you really feel you need to satisfy that pizza craving, go over to low carb friends for some recipes. I lost a lot of weight a few years back and I made lo carb pizza all the time:) Just use some common sense and stay as close to your DR guidelines as you can. -

2 months postop before and after pictures
Lovechunks replied to jamill527's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Can I just say---you look sassy! -
It seems like having gone through the band makes the sleeve a whole lot easier. Mine never really worked and I had it removed during another surgery I needed. Excited about the sleeve!

Clothing expenses after surgery
Lovechunks replied to linda305's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
To make your shoes tighter, use a foam insole. You can cut them any shape you like, depending on the style. -
Will you lie about the surgery?

"Female problems". I am a female- I have problems. -

If you were offered 1 million dollars to lose 17 lbs in 4 weeks, do you think you could do it? -
Weight Gain after 4 years out from surgery
Lovechunks replied to QueenBee1018's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
QueenBee- Have you seen an Endocrinologist? Something is going on there. Could be hormones, as well. Find a doctor who will listen to you. Good luck! -
Thinking of Band to Sleeve Revision and have a question
Lovechunks replied to stacielynntate's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Gin Babe- sorry you had to suffer so much. I had my band out a year ago with no problems and am completely healed. If not for the pain around the port, how do you think you would have done? Thanks, -
Getting Pretty Irritated With Myself
Lovechunks replied to artisticbritt77's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
60 lbs is great!! I do sympathize with the long hours and stress part:). The only way I can avoid emotional eating is to plan my meals ahead-even if that means eating the same thing every day. Goo dlck! -
You need some nutrition:) What is on the menu for you tomorrow? I had some Autumn Squash soup at Panera the other day that was awesome--definitely planning on it for my soft stage:) It was kind of thick.

I had my band out a year ago, healed very fast, and don't expect complications. Fingers crossed. -

Hi Allisong- You will find lots of support on this forum. So sorry for your loss, but it tells me you are a very strong person who can handle anything! -
8 days and freaking out
Lovechunks replied to jessli7's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Of course you should tell the surgeon. Now go google "meditation" and listen to some calming music:) It's going to be okay. -
Besides weight loss, what has been the biggest benefit since getting surgery?

Sitting in a booth at a restaurant:) -
Blood thinners- you give them to yourself in the stomach. Lovenox is said to be expensive.

First day/night in hospital?
Lovechunks replied to Fit2btied's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My mother had a total hysterectomy when I was 14--a long time ago when they didn't have laparoscopy. I did all the housework and cooking for months. Kids are tougher than you think! -
Back to Work?
Lovechunks replied to sleeveforkayla's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have heard of people doing it. -
Havent had the sleeve yet but had a lapband and a revision plus multiple other surgeries. Drink a lot of water ahead of time; take a stool softener as soon as your DR allows. That's the best advice you will need:)

I swim and I wear compression socks almost every day. Does wonders!!

First day/night in hospital?
Lovechunks replied to Fit2btied's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I havent had this surgery yet but have had about a dozen others. I would wait, No need to scare them with tubes and drains--although there will be some, but maybe less paraphanalia the next day. How old are they? -

Lovechunks replied to stacielynntate's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I think he may be overstating the risk. I had my band removed and was told there might be a little more scare tissue that would cause more soreness, but extra risk of leaking wasn't even discussed.
