I wanna know about carbs... Seriously!
Wendyfm replied to KindaFamiliar's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I'm almost three years out and I eat between 90 to 150 grams of carbs a day, usually hovering around 100/110. That said it is mostly from fruit, veg,yogurt. I also eat some sort of whole grain English muffin every morning and I eat black beans fairly often and eat brown not white rice,sweet potatoes,etc. -
Eleven months, but that was because I wanted to have surgery during the summer. Otherwise it would have been about nine months

My worst experience was having a headache with nausea and vomiting the morning after surgery. I spent an extra day in the hospital. Thinking headache was from caffeine withdrawal.

Be honest - does anyone regret the surgery?

The only time I had a what did I do moment was right after surgery, when I was in pain and nauseated. Once I passed that moment I haven't looked back -
Dental Health after Sleeve Surgery
Wendyfm replied to aquarius1234's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If anything being sleeved gave me the incentive to take care of my health in other areas including oral health. I saw the dentist for the first time in twenty years after I got sleeved ,for reg dental care, that is. I have had a couple of teeth pulled in the past. My teeth by the way other than a lost filling were n. Pretty good shape. So having the sleeve definitely didn't affect them. -
I lost the equivalent of a two month old horse. Or 10 eight pound babies plus twenty.

Do you still identify as a wls patient?
Wendyfm replied to Healthy_life2's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I'll be three years out in July and I still think of myself as a weight loss surgery patient. I probably always will. I count calories still and weight myself daily as well as take all the necessary supplements. The excitement is long gone however,so now it's just a routine. -
Going to the emergency room finally
Wendyfm replied to venomousflowers's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

Post op fatigue after 2 months
Wendyfm replied to littlelamb3's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Are you on any blood pressure meds. I had a similar issue about one month after surgery and it was because o was on blood pressure meds still and my blood pressure was too low. Once I stopped the meds my blood pressure went up and I was less fatigued. -
I'm almost five two and have been able to find pants that are short enough at Wal-Mart. I also hem my own pants and dresses if needed.

I am officially a veteran. today is my one year anniversary.
Wendyfm posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have lost ninety five pounds, thirty before surgery and sixty five afterwards. While that is not as much as some and I still want to lose twenty more I am happy. I have gone from a size 28 down to a size 16/18. I feel healthier and happier, I was pre diabetic and I had high blood pressure. I have neither of those issues today. I can also get on the floor and get back up. I can walk a mile and more and I feel pretty. A good accomplishment for a year. -

Wendyfm replied to XmeghannstarX's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm almost three years out, down a hundred pounds and wrestle with the same three or four pounds, other than that I haven't gained weight back. I can eat regular food, but I have to count calories and Stick with the Protein and carb requirements, make sure I drink enough, exercise and still take Vitamins.

Treated Differently After Your Surgery?
Wendyfm replied to tearsofapache's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I don't think I've really been treated differently, although most people have definitely noticed my hundred pound weight loss. I got a lot of compliments while losing, although that has died off now. The librarian where I work however was clueless about my weight loss. When I mentioned that I had lost weight and my face was thinner. He said he never noticed that I was heavy.
