Can't wait to get in to a suit . Go on a ride at a amusement park , buy cloths at a normal store learn to scuba dive

For me I could not lose all of it on my own my highest weight was 480 I got town to 430 on my own . Could not get past 430. Every time I did I shot back up to 430 . I got tired of going up and down with my weight .i use to weigh 220 . I was hit head on in 91 and shot up to 484 fast . So getting in the gym was very hard to do . I chose the lap band first mainly cause insurance , and it went good . I lost 100 pounds on it but it was slipping and well the removed it in 3 months of putting it in . They put it back in cause I was scared of the by pass but I did not lose any weight after they stuck it back and it was slipping agin . So I went in to see dr suh and we revised it to the sleeve I am just 3 weeks out I had surg on may 30 I have lost close to 30 pounds so far . I seem to be constipated but I don't eat much . I had bad heart burn a week after surg and I had to end up mixing the Pepcid with nexium twice a day and it seems to work . Other then that I am not hungry . I just start cardio at the gym a week ago . But I am excited I was scared but I was getting to the point where I was walking worse everything was getting harder to do . And I just got tired I can do it on my own and keep it off . I think this is a great tool to get you down so you can maintain and feel better it takes work .. The surg is not a walk in the park but it was worth it for me . I am trying to get to 220 back where I was and hope I will keep it off with the new life style I am moving into .

I have notice I can taste chemicals in the food I eat now after the sleeve .. I use to love purified water not it taste like pool water to me .. Power aid zero cal taste like chlorine .. . I love arrowhead water and before the sleeve I could not stand drinking it ..

Hello today is the big day . I am getting a revision from the lap band to the sleeve , I go in at 9:30 am . I had the band put in twice the first time I contracted h pilorie or what ever it was which caused a lot of vomiting and acid . Which Inturn caused the band to bend the stomach. So they took it out but before they did I lost a 100 pounds I was 430 when I had the band drop to 330 . Then they put it in again but just maintained it . But then I started having problems , they now are saying it is bending the stomach and some of the fluid is missing .so now today I will get the sleeve I gained 20 pounds unfortunately .so I am up to 350 ..looking forward for the new lifestyle and hopefully no more constant hunger pains that never seem to get satisfied .

Well I went to my dr appointment on tue, May 30 I was 357 for surgery and tue the 17 I was down to 328 every thing looks good he said . The dr feel the heartburn is from the conspation and once I get regular it will go away .. Told the dr I was taxing both nexium and Pepcid both seem to clear it up the heart burn .

I also before the nexium Pepcid combo I was chewing 8 tums plus a day and it was doing nothing

I mixed nexium and the Pepcid my dr prescribe seem to help

I seem to sneeze when I have are to much or to fast . And it's like a lot of sneezing . I am a lap banded revised to sleeve and when I had the band in I was also sneezing a lot also ..

Are you working out ?

Ok tue was my dr appointment .. I am as of may 30 I weighed 357 And today 18 day as of June 18 I weighed in at 328 My skin is dry I td him he suggested I start fish oil so getting some .. Told him that the Pepcid was not working for my heart burn and I started taking Pepcid and nexium and it seem to do the trick . Also started taking stool softeners 2 days ago just had my first bm he thinks that once I get regular the heart burn will go away ..

My first day I did the elip and did it for 20 mins only .. I thought I was going to die .. Heart hurt to but the next day it was better I have done 3 days of cardio so far sat and sun off start back up Monday for 5 days going to up to 30 min then next week 40 I hope

I get fuzzy brain still my surgery was may 30 .. I also get really tired when I eat something .. Like my blood surger goes up .. And I need a nap any one else

Don't be afraid I just started my cardio reg the first day I felt like I was going to die I came home and went to bed I was so exhausted and I started 20 min elip . The second day was better a lot better .. But when I came home and ate something I felt like my blood surger spiked and all I had was a few bites of cottage cheese I had to just take a nap .. Never exp that ever. .. But don't be afraid the fast you get in the better

I like to think that I was a yoyo up and down .. When I get to my goal weight I feel it will be easier to maintain and be able to be active more .. It's a tool that helps you get down weight at the same time makes it hard to over eat the way you might be now .just think it trains you to eat small amounts . Yes there is a chance but you have to deal with that as it come up. . Every body will exp different things .

I suddenly got reflux 3 days back I think bad reflux

Ok how about really bad heartburn acid reflux or gerd or what ever they named it. Any one have it ? My Prilosec is not working ..it feels like the same thing I had when I had the lap band put in but that turned out to be h pilorie or how ever it's spelled I think it's back how are you all dealing with your acid pains ?

Bowl movement gross but I have only had two since surgey. May 30 been on broth so I don't know if it's normal not on the Norco ..

Low energy is and should be Normal . Your body is use to get its energy source from crap food which is why we become obese .. Now that you are purgeing it out it's much like a drug withdraw and soon should start conferring your stored fat in to energy which is a better source sugar is like a dura flame log and fat is a nice oak log what's going to give you better heat oak over dura ... So your energy levels should start to come up. ..

I had my sleeve on may 30 I was 357 . The dr said he took 9 pounds of stomach out . I have not weighed my self yet I go is ln and see the dr on the 17 . Just drinking clear liquids for one more week

Way to go cowgirl .. I wish they would of covered the sleeve I would of fine that first . I don't know if the revision will slow me down I hope not .. Still not weigh in yet and on broth and tea been 5 days now .. How long did it take you to get to 141 ?

Add kale to your home made shakes and almond butter with almond milk the low sugar one and oat meal with a little bit of blueberries and a dap of crunchy peanut butter and blend oh abd a apple try that very good I am looking forward in making it don't add to much just a little of each

Hi I just had the revision to sleeve Friday may. 30 I am still on clear liquids .. But I seem to be not able to get to sleep I also stoped taking the pain meds . And I also feel full of energy . Any one else exp the same . I see a lot of post the opposite where they are tired . I feel like I could start driving again not much pain . Or take the pain meds just to sleep they seem to make me sleep really good .

Thank you .. I only did the band first cause I was scared of the by pass that what my old dr wanted to give me cause my insurance at the time would not cover it .. Now I am happy it's out .. I met a couple of people that have the band abd it works for them
