woman in me

I craved pickle juice after VSG. I drank some post op day 4. I also found it to be very soothing after I had my tonsils removed.

I'm doing great. FINALLY broke a 2 week yo-yo stall and lost 2 lbs over night. Down 32 lbs since surgery. 70 total loss.

Hey can you send me a link to the FB 25ers group?

Always have food with you. I bought an insulated tote. I keep Wisconsin Turkey Bites in a ziplock baggy, 2 Weight Watchers Mozzarella Light cheese sticks, and a container with a piece of pineapple, a chunk of cantaloupe, and about 5 grapes. Every couple of hours I just pop one or two in my mouth. Also if you don't listen to anything else, LEARN TO EAT SLOWLY. Put your food down between bites. Wait 3 minutes between bites. Chew chew chew. Eat slowly.

Today I am officially 70 lbs lighter. I lost some of the weight pre-op and 32 lbs since surgery 2/25/12.

I told EVERYBODY. Posted it all over FB. Because i was so happy. And didn't give a **** what anybody thought about it .

Wisconsin Turkey Sausage Snack Bites. String cheese. These are always in my insulated tote.

Can I be nosy and ask if y'all were self pay for the TT and boob jobs? Did insurance cover any of it?

I think you have a problem. It's called an a*****e for a husband. Yank a knot in him girl.

I think it's lack of education. I was self pay so no hoops to jump through, no psych eval, no classes. This forum was my education. I knew exactly what to expect. I think people that regret leap before they look.

I would do it again a thousand times. I've had a few dry heaves and only minor discomfort if I eat too fast. I love the fact that I don't plan my day around what I will eat. I'm down 30 lbs in 35 days. Feel better than I've ever felt in my life. Oh and I'm off all BP and diabetic meds too.

Lost 15 on pre-op, Sleeved 2/25 and have lost another 30 since DOS. I was doing diabetic diet prior to pre-op and had lost from my highest weight already though. So all together I am down 68 lbs HW 338 DOS 300 CW 270

I get them every time I eat.

I'm 36 days post op. I've lost 30 lbs since DOS. and 52 all together since pre-op. I'm down 9" in my waist. It's awesome. No regrets. Best decision ever.

Seafood goes down easy. I'm clear for all meats, veggies, and fruits though.

Nope I'm exactly 1 month out and mine just started coming out.

Instantly! If it drops Its mine. Lol

DOS 2/25. Down 25 lbs since DOS. Stalled the entire fourth week. Barely reaching 600 calories. Not reaching protein. Going to be more mindful and try to correct this starting tomorrow. I lost 22 lbs per-op. I've gone from a size 28 to a size 20.

My face and then boobs. It seems to move down my body in order.

I've been stalled 1 week now. Which is my 4th post op week. Hoping it breaks tomorrow.

Show them the videos on YouTube of people that have gone to Mexico and the drs there. You just need to educate them all. They just don't understand. However if you change your mind. My dr only charged $9800 total.

Multi gummy, biotin, vitamin D, Vitamin C, b12 sublingual

When you start solids, this will get worse. My Dr told me to take a Pepcid each day and a swig of Mylanta before each meal. It helps alot. You still get the full feeling but not so painful and I don't get sick.

I'm 4 weeks post op and that's about all I get.
