As far as feeling normal again it took me just a bit over a month to feel normal. And I never walked hunched over after my surgery so I'm not sure about that one.

Doesn't Dr. Kim have a pending law suit against him? Or am I thinking of someone else? -
Are stalls real or do we just make excuses ?
ladycook9713 replied to AussieSam's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Seems like salt retention when your body released its excess Water you dropped lots. No changes and it was salt retention? No, that doesn't make sense at all. -

I went through True Results and they paired me with Dr. Smith out of Ft. Worth Lap Band, but my surgery was actually done in Richardson. He has several facilities he's able to operate at. -

Physics also says I can't lift a car, but there are reports of people lifting cars off people. Our bodies don't always make sense. I had a stall for 2.5 weeks at the beginning. I didn't do anything different and I was following all the rules. One day I started dropping weight again (still no changes) and suddenly I was down 10lbs in a week. -
???? Calling all March Sleevers....let's support each other!????
ladycook9713 replied to time for june's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've lost 76.6 since my highest. And 63.6 since March 11th. I've dropped 2 sizes in pants. I lost a bunch at the beginning but has tapered off and I'm losing at a regular rate now 1-2 lbs a week. I did have an almost 3 week stall and then all of a sudden I dropped 10lbs in a week. So it made up for it! -
Starting is 239.6 and goal will be 229.6 Thanks!

Has anyone had a sleeve *and* a c-section in their life?
ladycook9713 replied to Menelly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pain from the csection was worse. I was off pain meds by day 3 with my sleeve. Was on pain meds over a week with my csection. Recovery (as in getting in fluids, nausea, throwing up, not being able to lift more than 15lbs, etc) from the sleeve was worse. That's how it was for me and I had my sleeve 10 months after I had my csection. -
The largest size bra they have is a 38DDD in store. I'm currently in a 42D and they told me that the 38DDD would fit. I didn't try it on though cause I'm not buying any expensive bras until I'm at goal weight. I'll buy $10 bras at Walmart till then. But I wear their size large undies and they fit great. I'm currently a size 20, but was able to wear them at 22 and 24. But I don't wear them over my belly.

Women who have had c sections
ladycook9713 replied to nic_89's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pain wise my csection was worse. I was off pain Ned's by day 3 with the VSG. Not so much on the section. However, I was hating life for about a month after VSG. Strict diet and such made it hard for me to eat and I regretted it. Now I feel normal. -
Sorry! 252.4 Only lost .2 but I guess a loss is a loss. Weight loss has kinda stalled here lately.
-
Sorry I missed last week! Last week: 253 Today 252.6

I've stalled too. Haven't weighed myself in a couple of days though. Last I checked in down 51lbs but the scale hasn't moved in over a week. Surgery was 3/25. I'm down almost 2 sizes. I'm in the middle of 2 sizes and it's so frustrating.
-
This gives me hope that one day I'll be able to have small pleasures here and there. Last night I was craving ice cream really badly. But I'm only 1 month out, and the surgical team has me convinced that if I eat anything with over 5g of sugar that I will dump or throw up!

Is there anything I can have at Smoothie King?
ladycook9713 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There is a smoothie King just down the road from my job. Yesterday they sent a bunch of cards to our office that gave everyone a free 20oz smoothie. I've been looking through the nutrition info and even the Protein smoothies seem to have a ton of sugar in them. Is there anything I can have from Smoothie King or do I need to give my card to someone else? -
I wanna sandwich- 5 weeks out
ladycook9713 replied to avermette's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
During my first few weeks I wanted a piece of toast so badly. Or saltine crackers. But that seemed to be because i was nauseous I just wanted something bland. I've had a couple of cravings. But my NUT told me not to try bread until I was 6 months out. -
"Drop and give me 10 more!"
