My personal VSG journey take 2
JerseyJules replied to JerseyJules's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I feel as if I am losing weight way too rapidly, and getting lightheaded at times. I recently started adding a banana and tablespoon of natural peanut butter and natural local honey to my morning shake to try and give me a little caloric boost for the day. So far so good, but I had some nasty lower intestinal discomfort, I attribute to the banana and the sugary starches in it. Im down over 31 lbs in 3 weeks which is way too fast of a weight loss in my opinion.. -

JerseyJules replied to The thinner me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dont feel bad, Im on Puree/full liquids for 21 days....I cant have soft food till this coming Monday......Just suck it up and deal with it. It does stink, but its only temporary. And yes, you will feel hungry on this liquid diet. -
2 days post op trouble with protein drinks
JerseyJules replied to leighabelle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It takes a few days for the swelling to go down. It gets easier. Sip sip sip...Dont try and do the whole 4 oz at once. -

Anyone get lightheaded?
JerseyJules replied to JerseyJules's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It scared the crap out of me, I got up and walked to the door to see the kids outside playing in the snow and I got lightheaded and dizzy, I almost blacked out.. -

Today I am officially the lightest I have been in over 15 years. When I met my wife I was 265 and 28 years old. Simply amazed how this thing works. -
How soon after surgery did you have sex?
JerseyJules posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im just curious as to when you return to normal sexual activities following surgery. My discharge papers from the hospital said "sexual activity- ok". I couldn't imagine having or wanting sex leaving the hospital or even 4 to 5 days out now...My energy level is coming back but zero interest in sex so far. -

Question for lifters: How are you increasing your caloric intake?
JerseyJules replied to BigViffer's topic in The Guys’ Room
Add nut butters like almond and peanut butter to your diet, small portions and high in calories and proteins. But get the natural stuff with no sugar. -

Never thought I'd regret it...but here I am
JerseyJules replied to janedoe92's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
It is tough because you really dont see how much of our social lives revolve around drinking and more so eating. I feel like I cant socialize just yet as Im only 2 weeks post op and not even on soft foods yet... -
Yeah are you home yet? doing ok?

I am I crazy for considering surgery
JerseyJules replied to Apple1's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I dont know where your picking up attitude but whatever you read into whatever you want to read into...You in fact were responding directly to the comment I made about surgery in mexico so I responded with my opinion and personal thoughts on it. nuff said. Good day maam. -
I am I crazy for considering surgery
JerseyJules replied to Apple1's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I simply said I personally would never go to Mexico. The regulations are way different down there, and I dont trust it. Not to get into a pissing match about Mexico surgeons, just not for me. I read horror stories on here of people who had leaks on the plane trip home and wound up in ICU. Just do your research. -

JerseyJules replied to Apple1's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
May I suggest you watch my video on my tough decision to go through with the surgery. And I would never go to Mexico for anything of this importance. -

JerseyJules replied to JerseyJules's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thank you so much. I can assure you making the decision to get surgery was no easy task for me. It took tons of soul searching to realize it was my end game and only move left. Im glad you're doing well and so jealous your surgeon lets you progress that fast, mine has me on liquids for 21 days post op...After that I can progress to Tuna and soft fish and what not. I was drinking a ton but the PA in my surgeons office keeps scaring the crap out of me and telling me to slow down, cause I can pop a staple. I dont think its as easy as she makes it out to seem..But Im better off just listening to them. My freind's mom didn't listen to her doctors and died as a result of complications from the surgery and that has always been in the back of my mind.. -
