Is it a long stall or am I finished losing?
a75stem replied to Shrinking_Violet's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm glad you wrote this post! I'm at 9 months and stalling. I noticed lately that I have not made all the right food choices so I'm going back to the beginning basics and hope that helps some. I exercise like crazy with strength training and cardio so I think I need to adjust eating because of that too. Kinda lost, kinda trying to figure it all out...lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Gastric Sleeve 9/28/15

I am probably not doing a good job either with the calorie/protein ratio either. I'm pretty sure we are about on the same amounts. I have not tracked my calories but need to be doing that too! I did have a "thank goodness" moment today when I found Raspberry flavored Water at Sonic! I usually just get a large water and sip on it all day...now there is a flavor I like. Funny how now it's the small things that make me so excited now. With Protein I am just going to keep trying to get more and more. I wondered if we could blend in natural smooth Peanut Butter to the Protein shakes for additional protein. I know I use to do this on one of my many diet fails! -

Hi! Yes, I have been to my post-op appointment.. I actually went 10/6. Everything was great and I told them that I was planning to go back to work on 10/7. Well, I did and completely failed(I teach) and had to leave by lunch. Was completely exhausted, in a bit of pain, and I spiked my blood pressure a bit! Therefore...dizzy, yucky, clamy, sweating! Going to take off Friday and rest up this weekend. Do you work and if so what are your plans in going back? -

Hi guys! Had my sleeve on 9/30 but could not swallow anything right after surgery. They said my sleeve was "tight" and I ended up in the hospital for 4 days until better. Everything has been fine since and I'm glad to be back on the full liquid diet. I have not had many hunger pains but look at the amount I'm eating and wonder why I'm not hungry! Mental thing, I know. Was glad I found the chewable multi-vitamins at my doctors office today because dumping the capsule was not doing it for me. Would love to keep touching base to see how we progress throughout this first phase! -
Sleeve surgery was 9/30/15. Checking in from Rockwall, TX. Dr. Adam Smith of FW did my procedure. Had a rough spot and spent a few days in the hospital but now on the up and up! Here's to the new me!
