Why is ibuprofen a no no?
giantslsu47 replied to polly...'s topic in GLP-1 & Other Weight Loss Medications (NEW!)
It’s terrible to take because it damages your kidneys. I use to take them for pain until my kidney doctor told me to stop taking them -

Anyone from the Jacksonville, FL area?
giantslsu47 replied to Changed2016's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello everyone. My name is Dee and I had surgery on 4-29-15. I've lost 120. I still want to lose 60 more. It's not easy at all but if you have someone to talk to and exercise and eat right you can do it. I wish the best for everyone -

It's sad that I came back to this site and no one is still on here. I've lost 100 lbs now. Im 230 and I still want to lose 30 more by April 29 because it would be a year. I'll check back in a couple of weeks to see if anyone is on here

I DID IT! I Reached My Goal!
giantslsu47 replied to RammerJammer's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congratulations. I started at 330 lbs. I'm at 230 lbs. I want to lose 30 more by April 29 because it would make a year. It's hard but I know if I keep eating right and excersise I can do. So hearing your story motivates me more -
Do you use tools like My Fitness Pal, Fitbit, etc?
giantslsu47 replied to Balance's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I think my fitness pal is great. I have used it since my surgery on 4/29/15 and I'm happy to say today makes my 100lb mark. I'm at 230. I still have a ways to go -
One year out - can I still lose?
giantslsu47 replied to rhayla's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm so glad I read the advice on here. I'm feeling a little down because I do water aerobics for 60 minutes, jog in the water for 30 minutes and do 100 sit ups Monday to Friday and I'm at a stall for the last month. I've lost 98lbs since I had surgery on 4/29/15. I really push myself and I don't get on the scale a lot but when I do I want to see weight lost. I figured all of the work I'm putting in I would see a difference. I'm not going to give up. I'm just glad I got on here and read what people were saying. So thanks everyone -
Eat more calories!
giantslsu47 replied to Seahawkgirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 6 months and 2weeks out and I've lost 94 lbs. I'm at a stall. I do water aerobics 5 to 6 times a week. I use to eat 500 calories a day. Now I eat 1000 and I lose weight. I'm losing inches. It's stressful because you think with all that working out I should be down much more -

giantslsu47 replied to Oregondaisy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I use my fitness pal and it always tell me to eat at least 1600 calories a day. I'm only getting in 800-900. I get in all my protein,fiber and liquids. Should I just ignore it because I just can't do it. I feel overwhelmed -
Gout 3 weeks after sleeve
giantslsu47 replied to nikkimapr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sorry to hear that. Do you take any kind of medicines for gout? Mine got under control once I took mushrooms and spinach out my life. I love both of them but it's not worth the pain in my feet. You have to figure out your triggers and stop eating them. Trust me, you will look at and say, it's not worth it. Best of luck to you -
Gout 3 weeks after sleeve
giantslsu47 replied to nikkimapr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have had gout for 7 years so when I decided to have surgery that was my biggest fear. When you eat high levels of protein, it will cause gout. I'm on 2 gout medicines, allopurinol and colcry. I've had it in my knee, feet and elbow. I've lost 65lbs since my surgery on 4/29/15. It was worth it and I'm going to keep eating my protein lol. -
Oh I know it's beautiful there this time of year. I totally understand about eating people don't understand even when I tell them.

I went to the beach for the 4th. It was crowded but relaxing. It's very difficult when you go out to eat. When people see that you've lost a lot of weight they pay attention to everything you eat or they think you don't like there food lol. You just can't win. I'm in Florida so I always say, it's so hot outside I've lost my appetite. Most people will look at me and say I understand.
