Help Me! I had a couple of handfuls of popcorn, surgery is around the corner
Takingcontrol replied to Letty1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery 12/17...& I sure don't feel like I've made great progress! I'm more of a slow looser. But on the positive side, my hair hasn't started falling out & my skin seems to be adjusting fairly well! & the scale is moving in the RIGHT direction for once!! Good luck & keep us posted on your progress! -

Takingcontrol replied to Letty1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'd be careful with too many laxatives..you don't want to have the runs tomorrow! -
Great! Thanks! Going to check tomorrow!

Never heard of them....I will have to check out the Kroger here & see if they have them! Are they in the health food section...or with the breads & tortillas?

HELP! I have a BIG problem with snacking. What can I Do?
Takingcontrol replied to sweetgirl1314's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm with them...it HAS to stay out of the house or I WILL eat it! I bought doughnuts for the grandkids the other morning & literally pushed them out the door with the kids when their parents picked them up! It's still too early...I have NOT conquered those demons yet..so I run from them! -
Is it realistic to not tell anyone I'm having surgery?
Takingcontrol replied to lyndeeboo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 4 months out & only immediate family knows about the surgery.....everyone else knows I'm am eating high protein low carbs & watching my portions...totally true! -
Finally at "onederland"
Takingcontrol replied to Decembersleever's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Woohoo...congrats! I can't wait to join you in Onederland!! -
I had similar trouble...I emailed the dr direct & he forwarded it to her & that got her attention!

Happy & Sad at the same time! :-(
Takingcontrol posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Today I went through my closet to purge the clothes that are now too big! Yay! But I LOVE some of these things & am sad to see them go! :-( The good thing is I'm passing them to a close friend who had bypass last yr & is loosing to...so she will enjoy them! :-)- 1 reply

What was your first pureed meal?
Takingcontrol replied to bmbrush413's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Wonderland, finally!
Takingcontrol replied to Butterflysecrets's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congrats!! I can't wait to reach Onderland!! :-) -
Change of clothes?
Takingcontrol replied to Fifty&Hippy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have not had this at all....actually I have the opposite problem at times. My sis-n-law had the bypass & has this issue though. -
That's Awesome! Congratulations!!

I use the sour dill relish in my tuna. But I have also eaten a couple slices of apples...peel & all!

Did you throw up? post op? or after you were sleeved?
Takingcontrol replied to Heather Meyer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I threw up when I first woke up after surgery...but it was the stuff they inserted for the leak test....not bad at all...more like my body rejecting that stuff. I'm not quiet 4 months out & never did again. My dr had some anti-nausea cream made that you rub on your wrist...worked great! Only had to use it a couple times though. Good luck. -
Protein shots ARE NASTY!! I threw mine away! Uggghhh!

Couple new to the whole WLS. Our details, need advice!
Takingcontrol replied to TandT's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I HAD severe GERD, turns out I had a hernia that was repaired during surgery, & the sleeve works for me...haven't had a problem since. We are not dr's here & that's probably a question you should address with your surgeon. -
Does surgery really make you feel full?
Takingcontrol replied to NewAshes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They are right, it's not the same "I'm stuffed" feeling...& it WILL sneak up on you! But you will learn your new tummy & the right portions for you...most of us get a sign..some get hiccups...I get a little burpy when I've eaten too much. I DO feel hunger though...& it's NOT head hunger!! It just takes much less to satisfy it now! -
Oh, & NUTs are OK....but I'd refrain from Pcp!! Just MO

Just try & give them some time..clearly they love you & are concerned! Don't make this a power play you may regret, just try & give them some time & approach it calmly again! Hopefully you will find the other persons dr is different & you can show them some positive reviews for you dr & they will reconsider. As a mom I unsdestand their concern
