I'm not proud of this....but....
dinglehopper replied to HoosierGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved in June and promised myself popcorn during first Nfl game. So yummy and didn't bother me or slowdown weight loss. So, I had it again during Monday Night Football with some Indian corn and pumpkins in it...cramps and the trots ALL night. Never again! -
How do I break through this stall?!
dinglehopper posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a month post op. everything is going great. I don't feel sick and I get all my water and protein daily. I lost 18 lbs the first 2 weeks and now I'm done. Am I done losing for good? Getting so discouraged! -

dinglehopper replied to dinglehopper's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am putting my trust in what you're saying! I fear I'll be the only person in history that the sleeve won't work for!! I'll add some more water today and hopefully the scale will move soon! Thanks! -

dinglehopper replied to Melanie757's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you still losing with eating all that? -
All i want right now....
dinglehopper replied to kailie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Gotta confess. I'm 3 weeks out and had a bowl if Lucky Charms tonight. IT WAS HEAVENLY! I chewed like crazy and it went down just great. I won't do it again, but some cravings need fed or you become obsessed. -
Feeling pins & needles in legs when touched
dinglehopper replied to Pixie Dust's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have pins and needles in both my feet! It kept me up every night. I'm 3 weeks out and I had it from the start. I was borderline type 2 and now off metformin with normal blood sugar. I think it's neuropathy. My diabetic dad had it also. I started wearing magnets on my ankles and it is a thousand times better. I can barely feel it now!! Worth a try! -
Any july 8 sleevers?
dinglehopper replied to tashman's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Reading these posts make me laugh now! I'm 14 days out and I felt exactly like you guys! I didn't know what to do with my tongue! I would take a mouthful if food, chew, and spit it out. I just needed to chew and get a decent taste inu mouth. It sucked! In 2 weeks you'll feel like new. I love it now! Keep fighting, it's worth it! -
Not doing the liquid diet
dinglehopper replied to Ashlee K's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ashlee, I had a terrible time sticking to the pre op diet. If I could stick to a diet, I wouldn't have needed surgery!! Don't let these posts scare you. As long as you lose some weight, your liver will shrink. I lost 8 lbs and everything went fine. You will follow the plan post op cuz your stomach won't allow you to cheat! You will be just fine! Relax! -
I am 10 days out and I can't even remember what the pain felt like anymore. I feel fantastic! It's all for a great purpose. Take ur pain killer and wait it out. It's part of the process.

Rhonda, I was in helll for 4 days.

9 days post-op drinking question
dinglehopper replied to Sleeveland's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I am the same way!! I think I could eat anything! I have a 1/4 cup broth done in 3 sips then feel so unsatisfied. Someone reassured me it will be different on solids. I hope so cuz I've never felt like I was full. Protein goes easy too. I try hard to go slow as I think it can damage the staple line if we overdo. -
Oh good, thanks Brian. Everyone says they are never hungry. I keep thinking something is wrong that I haven't felt full. That's not my goal, just surprised I haven't felt uncomfortable after drinking. Hope my sleeve is tiny!!
-
I'm only 6 days out and I have never felt full. Only doing clear liquids, but I think I could eat a gallon on broth. I'm afraid my Dr accidentally removed my spleen cuz I'm hungry!!
-
I'm 4 days post op. I'm totally exhausted and sore everywhere, especially when I take a deep breath. I'm not sick but feel nauseas most of the time.. Shouldn't this be going away soon? Hope it's not a life sentence! Someone please remind me again why I chose to do this to myself...

Why did I do this again?

I'm so happy for you! I so hope I feel that someday!!! How far out are you? I'm only 4 days and I want to feel good again! Right now I don't feel like I'll ever run again . Keep up the good work!

5 days post-op. Is this hungry feeling really gas?
dinglehopper replied to Im14fun's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Relieved to hear that. I don't know if I are too mych, not enough, if I need to walk, or stop walking. I just know my stomach hurts and don't know why! Frustrating... -

June sleevers?
dinglehopper replied to Healthier2day1227's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I love your honesty!! My sleeve is June 28 and that will be me! -
My nut said you cannot drink again after the sleeve. She said we will not be able to tolerate even one beer without getting extremely drunk. Anyone post sleeve had anything to drink?
