Afraid I'll gain the weight back...
sweettea replied to sweettea's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Ugh! Gained three pounds back. I can't drive yet. I'm doing some excersizes at home. My husband doesn't help. Ice cream, cookies, chips and cakes... He had gastric sleeve surgery. He was 350, now he's 275. His BMI is still in the obese range. I worry he's stretching his stomach back out. He's also eating more. I'm worried about him too. I'm not eating the junk. I just don't want it in the house. -
Very scary pain a few nights ago -- gastric dumping?
sweettea replied to CloserToFine's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I took the "gentle" laxitive. lol! I had two days of misery. This happens every couple of weeks. I have IBS on top of it. I've tried stool softeners an homeopathic remedies. I always end up going back to what works for me. I'm lucky if I have a bm once a week. -
I've gained three pounds back.

I had two plateaus. I thought I would NEVER get past them. Don't give up. My fear now is gaining the weight back. I haven't exactly been following my plan AND I had total knee replacement surgery. Soooo no excersize of any kind. See I'm having my own pity party.

I'm sorry this happened to you. Sounds like he doesn't deserve you. It is emotional and verbal abuse. They're always sorry. My husband has never once talked to me that way. He has always said you can't hide beauty.

I don't know if it was dumping. I've never experienced anything like it. I hope you are feeling better. I have had extreme pain from constipation and the extreme cramps from the "gentle" laxitive. -
Worried about regrets
sweettea replied to AmyNLaynie6's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So as you see, you're not alone. I was sore and tire the first two weeks. I had a very understanding husband. I've never regretted my decision. I'm at my goal weight. Now I have to be careful not to fall off the wagon. It's a life changing decision. It can be difficult to change bad eating habits, but with the sleeve, it makes it much easier. -
Small baby steps. You didn't gain.

Smooth sailing... waiting for the other shoe to drop
sweettea replied to byebyedarkpassenger's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My only fear is gaining the weight back, the other shoe. Deep breath. I'm following the program. I'm getting "some" excersize. Definitely a life style change. Not a miracle surgery. You'll be fine. Be happy you aren't having problems. I threw up every other day up until 1 month ago. -

Thanks all! Sometimes I feel like I'm going through this alone, and then I found this forum. -

Swimming would give me a reason to wear my new swimsuit too. :-) -
Me too! Me too! Mine is completely gone. Thank the lord. I also don't have to go as much.

Don't give up yet. My doctors staff was wonderful. Then again, I had a lot of physical problems.

I don't know why I'm so afraid. I'm now 122. I'm 3 pounds under goal weight. I think it has to do with PT. I watch what I eat, but I do cheat occasionally. Sprite soda has been my downfall. High calories, no nutritional value. -

Well, PT did say swimming would be good for my leg. I could just lather on water proof sunblock. I'll have to see how much it cost. -

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this fear. Not that I wish this fear on anyone. -

I can kind of swim. Wouldn't win any medals. There are no inside pools around here. And doctor says if I tan scar will be more noticeable. -

My fear has me to the point that I don't want to eat. Or if I eat, it's a couple of bites. -

I'm having problems exercising. I just had a total knee replacement. No exercise in a month. I just reached my goal weight. -

Eating at Restaurants – Yes, There Is Life After Weight Loss Surgery!
sweettea replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
I still go out. I can usually find something on appetizer menu: Grilled shrimp chicken wing without the sauce With a side of veggies (usually steamed broccoli Or on the regular menu: I just ask for a few changes. I've never had any problems. And I always have left overseas for next day or two. I have had waitresses ask if I didn't like the food.
