I think setting small achievable goals is an excellent idea. You will do great. -

Weight loss stall
flowerchild replied to ldietrich's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was also sleeved on 4/23/13. I have only lost 23 pounds. Still having trouble getting all my protein in 40-50gm. I did not lose any weight in about 10 days. Its very scary. I have been walking, but have not hit the gym yet. -
Brandy, I totally agree with you about people asking how much have you lost? I always feel like they expect the number to be bigger. Im sorry your family is not giving what you need in the way of support. Take care you and your baby are beautiful.

Hi There April Sleevers!
flowerchild replied to Babysteppin's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello April sleevers! I had my surgery 4/23 in Plano, TX. I live in SF bay area. Im excited, nervous, happy, scared. It feels like I'm on a roller coaster. I'm really trying to enjoy the ride. Not used to feeling like I don't know what to expect next. -
I knoew it was coming! But it's still messing with my head!

Ok, starting to have some anxiety. I feel stupid for asking this but I just need some reassurance. I am post op day # 17 and I have only lost 10 pounds. I don't know if I am on track or if I am failing. I spoke with my surgeon at my 2 week post op and he seemed happy with the way things are going. I have a fair amount of pain on and off still and have not been walking for exercise yet. I just don't know, what do you all think?

Swallowing pills and Anti-Depressants after sleeved?
flowerchild replied to Heather Meyer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take effexor also. I skipped 3 days post op. No side effects. When I restarted I just took the whole pill which was ok by my surgeon. I would have kept taking it in the hospital but they didnt carry it. -
Im on Effexor and Wellbutrin. I have taken Celexa and Prozac and had weight gain. No weight gain on my current regimen.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to talk to friends about my VSG. I feel really uncomfortable. I don't regret my decision, but having trouble sharing.
-
Good Luck! I am a Endoscopy RN, Im not back to work yet. Only took 2 weeks off. I hope I don't regret it.

Hello Everyone, I can't believe what an amazing wealth of information you all are. I had my surgery on April 23, 2013. I feel like I just have not completely got the hang of it all. Feeling a little scared to do something wrong. I am very comforted reading everyone's post's. Thanks Again
