Yes im glad for the slow weightloss ..Im too young for saggy skin lol

A percocet and 2 bottles of wine on an empty stomach?? Id be puking from the percocet alone

And also congrats on the loss .. very good job !

for me watermelon is a no no i am a little over 2 years out and i just puke it up its too high in Water content my sleeve is a tricky bugger i foam and its game over tried several times same thing every time no matter the amount i try and eat.
when i say its a bugger most people have no problem with popcorn not me even a little handful of the stuff puke it back up in little chewed up puddles lol

I asked for a catheter right after surgery lol i got up like 30 times it felt like . Of course i couldn't get a catheter. Congrats on making it post op

I was nervous too.... but you just close your eyes and wake up with your nurse holding ur hand lol. I don't remember being intubated or extubated. Very easy. No worries

Congrats on making on the other side I didnt have any full symptoms until i moved to soft foods . My first solid food was tuna and i could only get 2 fork fulls. That is when my wieghtloss stopped for two weeks when I moved to solids just a heads up. Good luck

Are you post op yet? Beagle lover?
We all don't have the same surgeon or NUT so everyone's post op rules will slightly vary. My surgeon said 2 gummies everyday and I will be fine. If my preop levels were off or if I had certain comorbidities my surgeon might have given me different directions. I think as long as you can keep what you are taking down and your blood work comes back good you should be fine.

I am 4mths out and i tolerate watermelon fine its a semi slider so i can eat a decent amount in a day ... i eat maybe a half of a large watermelon in a week. It has satisfied my fruit addiction. I dont dump ..hence me having to read about the sugar 4 slushees later smh . So if you are really sensitive to sugar watermelon might bother you. I love it.

Kind of a weird title. I've read all the complications of the 3 surgeries on this app and I am still glad I chose the sleeve. The lapband effect on quality of life(can't eat but can't lose weight) (eroding esophagus)and being tethered to doctors when things goes wrong still terrifies me. The rny malabsorption and Vitamin deficiency also still scares the hell out of me. I am very fortunate that i haven't had any complications thus far but I dont have the fear that I think I would have about the future had I chosen lapband or rny. Do any sleevers that have/had complications wish you chose a different surgery??

Hope you are feeling a little better now wellbutrin is the only med I have stuck with it suppresses my appetite and gives me energy to exercise ..most importantly it eliminates my depression ...maybe it could work for you...all of the other AD i took caused crazy carb cravings and some actually raise your blood sugar and effect the way you process carbs ...most psych meds have weight gain as a side effect ..weight gain from psych meds is what actually made me feel that surgery might be a good option for me....Very sorry about your mom hope things get better for you ..nothing that i hate more than depression
