Yesterday I met up with my old coworkers. They hadn't seen me in over a year & since the weight loss. OMG, the compliments were amazing. The best was the lady that made the Macaulay Culkin face from Home Alone. Felt so good.

That's awesome. Persistence paying off. Good luck! -
please please get your fluids in!
Tiny One replied to kmed21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't worry yet. Keep in mind your were & are on liquids. So you don't have much in your system at this point. You'll be ok. Just get your liquids in. Sip sip sip all day. I had a bout with constipation for a 2 weeks once I started on solids. But got relief after taking a stool softener. All in all, it only lasted 2 weeks. I haven't had a problem since & I'm 10 mons post op. Good luck! -

Tiny One replied to Marivdb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My energy didn't return until week 5. Since then, I've been like the energizer bunny. Believe me, your energy will increase in due time. Hang in there and you'll be find & loving your sleeve. -

Best and worst "compliments"
Tiny One replied to Healthier2day1227's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
One of the best: "what you do with that other person?" One of the worst: "you are shrinking down to nothing, are you feeling ok?" One of the unwanted from my husband's male cousins: "look at sexy." -
Went to fund raiser yesterday. Saw a few friends that I hadn't seen in a while. As I walked down the steps, one of my friends, thats seen recent pictures of me, pointed me out to another friend. The other friend didn't recognize me initially because she hadn't seen me since I started this healthier journey. It was too funny when she did, then she went crazy with compliments. Felt so good.

last appointment! now what?
Tiny One replied to ElliottWasHere's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After I got clearance from the lung specialist, they submitted it right away. I got approval in less than a week of submission. My clinic too gave me a manual that listed every step in the pre op & post op process. And they advised my to call if I still had questions or just needed to talk. You should be able to ask as many questions as you need. Good luck to you!!!! -
Awesome!!!
-
All of mine were called in & i got them filled prior to the surgery except the liquid pain meds. I had a script for nausea (pills & suppositories), reflux, & one to prevent gall stones.

I understand y they want our liver to shrink b/f surgery
Tiny One replied to ArnoldS's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Doctor told me they want it to shrink so it would be easier to move out the way during the procedure. Makes sense. -
Did you keep a "before" outfit?
Tiny One replied to Catherine707's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've been giving my stuff away to my sisters & nieces. I'm still getting stuff together to get rid. While i don't plan on keeping any before stuff, me watching them wear my clothes is more than a reminder & motivation because I always thought I was much, much smaller than they were. What an eye opener this sleeve has been. -
Problems with bowel movements post-surgery?
Tiny One replied to akusah's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, it's normal. Especially because you are only intaking liquids.. It will change as your diet phases changes.
