    September surgery

    I think I hit my stall. I actually gained 4 pounds and then lost 2. I can't seem to break the 264 mark. The holidays were good. I baked too much but didn't eat that much is was fantastic. I've increased the amount of exercise and started cutting back on my solid foods in hope that it will kick start the weight loss again.

    Do you enjoy cooking still?

    @ BeagleLover, yes but it can take the place of my "grazing all day". No extra food needed. ????

    i love cooking! I'm a culinary arts student, which is one thing that prompted me to get the surgery. I didn't want the extra calories from having to taste everything I cook.

    So Cold!

    I'm 2 months post op and on a full diet, yet I still get so cold. My son calls me Mr. Freeze. It's totally normal.
  5. I went to my doc yesterday for my 2 month post op. I had the usual blood work done a week before the appointment. I lost 24 pounds since my 2 week post op appointment. The total weight lost is now at 54 pounds. According to my blood work, the only thing that I need to do is start taking vitamin D; everything else was good. Also my BP was in a more normal range. At my 2 week post op appointment my BP was 164/108 and yesterday it was 124/86. That is the lowest it has ever been for me. I got a lot of attaboys for everything I've been doing. It made me feel good about myself and my decision to get the surgery!

    September surgery

    Hi Fab@@forty! I also was sleeved on 9/23. I was feeling great up until this week. I am suffering a gout attack. Other than that I'm doing great. I've lost 20 pounds since the day of my surgery.

    Cookie flavors post-op

    I was allowed to have cream of wheat on my full liquid diet. I had to thin it with milk to make it drinkable. So I think it would be OK to take.

    post op time off from work

    I was off for two weeks. I could have taken 4 but I was feeling great after 2.
  9. The stall happened to me too and I actually gamed weight. After my 2 week post op and adding soft foods to my diet, I started losing weight again. 14 pounds to be exact. Just keep with it and don't get discouraged. The weight will come off.

    So so so cold!

    I thought it was only me. I am freezing all the time now. I noticed it a week after my surgery.

    Sleeved on 10/13/14

    I have 6 incisions as well. For pain, the doc gave me a perscription for liquid vicodin. I only had to use it once and that was the night I came home from the hospital.

    Sleeved on 10/13/14

    I had my drain for 2 weeks after surgery and started driving within one week after surgery. I tried doing things here and there while at home after the first week post op, but I found that I got tired quickly. At my 2 week post op appointment I was able to do every thing I needed to do.
