feeling of food in esophagus and heartburn?
GermanShepherdMama replied to ForLfKlovr's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
Are you eating slowly enough? I know that it's sometimes hard, but try to be mindful of that. -
Don’t over pack! You most likely won’t use anything you bring!!
GermanShepherdMama replied to mdmiller9385's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I agree with this! Definitely make sure there's a pillow in the car for the ride home though so you can hold it against yourself when going over bumps or anything. -
This! My stomach and gut are so loud, too! I’m over 2 years post op. It’s embarrassing!

I used liquid roxicodone for like a week and really regretted it. I went to the ER for constipation.

I get this all the time, but I'm super proud of myself too for doing such a great job at getting healthy. This does not bother me because these people all care about me and are genuinely proud that I'm getting healthy! Go me!

Reconsidering Goal Weight
GermanShepherdMama replied to sillykitty's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yes, my original supermodel goal weight was 180. As I neared that I have lowered my supermodel goal weight to 175. I'm sitting at 179 today and feel that 175 is definitely achievable and I think I will actually pass it. It seems crazy to think I will be that light!!! Blows my mind! -
Eating slowly
GermanShepherdMama replied to Jolie18's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I usually play on my phone in between bites. Also I think about what will happen if I eat too fast, I’ll get sick and have to vomit it up! -

GermanShepherdMama replied to Creekimp13's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I’m making baby back ribs in the slow cooker with a sugar free bbq sauce! So pumped! -

Is this normal post op?
GermanShepherdMama replied to mlynn90's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with "the stages are not written in stone". So so true. Give your tummy time to adjust! -
Hospital bag
GermanShepherdMama replied to Drealeeanne's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know that I way over packed. I definitely was not in the mindset to read or anything. I maybe watched some TV when I wasn't sleeping. I stayed in the hospital gown until I was discharged, just easier this way and I did not care. Take what you want, I don't regret over packing or anything. -
How long did it take to lose 100lbs
GermanShepherdMama replied to Yo-yo girl's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
It took me from May 5th to January 27 to lose 100 pounds. From 327 day of surgery to 227 approximately 8 months post op! Almost 26 months post op and still losing! I think I’m down 152-ish at this point. -
Bariatric Fusion chewables! They seem to be less expensive than other brands. I prefer the strawberry flavor.

Made my decision
GermanShepherdMama replied to Beautfully Flawed's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I echo this. Best decision I ever made for myself! -
concert either after surgery/ during pre op liquid diet?
GermanShepherdMama replied to saygrace's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I definitely would not do it in pre op phase or that soon after surgery. No way jose. -
Thinking strongly about Gastric Bypass
GermanShepherdMama replied to Erin18's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Gastric bypass was the best thing I have ever done for myself! -
Yup. You gotta kick your own ass and start making good decisions! There's a reason you had this major surgery to begin with!

Officially Overweight!
GermanShepherdMama replied to BostonWLKC's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Oh man. It is awesome to finally not be labeled as obese anymore! I agree! -
Favorite things you can do now that you couldn't before, or things you're looking forward to doing?
GermanShepherdMama replied to GeekSweetheart's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Shopping and crossing my legs! Love it! -
Trouble eating meats & losing a lot of hair
GermanShepherdMama replied to kandieqvt1's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yes and yes. I went through both of those. The hair loss will stop and hopefully you’ll be able to tolerate meat in your own time. It took me some time to be able to tolerate meat! -
Rather Nervous at Current Weight Loss
GermanShepherdMama replied to Thkaal's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
When you have a lot of excess weight, it will come off easier and very fast. That’ll slow the closer you get to a normal weight! -
2 days away from being ONE YEAR post op!!! (actually posted pics)
GermanShepherdMama replied to goldenbarbie's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Omg you’re a total babe! Great job! -
It’s hard to find good “before” pictures
GermanShepherdMama replied to vanelifejourney's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I’m so annoyed with myself that I didn’t take before pictures. At the time I was just full of so much pure disgust at myself that I didn’t take pictures. -
Oh my gosh yes, don't forget to get MIRALAX on a regular basis with the narcotic medication! I went to the ER with constipation because I couldn't go by myself! It was embarrassing taking a dump in the ER! Colace, docusate sodium, was not enough for me!
