Stomach flu going on third day.....omg I am going to be ridiculously dehydrated....but can't shake it.
-
I feel like I am am always eating to much.....not enough.....I am about 7 weeks out and feel I should of lost more....while my body is changing it just seems I made a radical choice to lose weight only to not lose weight! I see people on here that have had surgery around the time I have and they have lost 50 or more....I lost like 23....and that is including the 16 I lost on pre op diet.....I feel everything I do is wrong.....

Wow so blessed my surgery was covered my Medicare

Band or Sleeve? So confused :(
Myka99 replied to ready?set.go's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon as well didn't recommend the band, as the results were not as good as the sleeve and more complications.....in and out of surgery etc.....once I seen the band and the fact of the sheer size I knew I was getting the sleeve....but made me even more convinced once my surgeon told me he did not recommend it. -
I have been complaining A LOT that the scale hasn't moved....this morning I am down 9 lbs.....THANK GOODNESS....happy girl today.
-
I was told to get between 60g and 80g of carbs a day....and I can do that with food no problem and if I don't I have a shake.....THE SCALE MOVED.....down 9 lbs.....thank God
-
Ok......I am going back on liquid diet to see if I can get the scale moving....for the love of all things holy....something has to give! Thoughts?

I have 8 tatts.....and love them.....my first one was the name of my so, along with the blue fairy as I have always told him I wished for him and the blue fairy brought him to me as Gepetto had wished for Pinocchio to be a real boy.....that was his fave movie as a very young child. Then after I got one in memory of my brother who has passed as well as my grandmother....I also just have a few cause I like them and they mean something to me....my last one was about 2 years ago....I do have the urge to get another and I will but nothing to the point of it speaks to me.....I do not look at it as a way the government can ID me....it is more of a story of me......I find it also therapeutic in the way that sometime the pain of getting one helps you heal....my last one was on the inside of my calf and it was a doozy.....it was my worst one yet.....but it is beautiful. Your either a tat person or not.....

Adult beverages after the sleeve?
Myka99 replied to fancypants67's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I truly dislike the answer "talk to your team etc" like yes we know, but we are asking here for diff opinions and how other people react to having different experiences.....I was told never to have alcohol again....I actually drink causally like 3 times a year tops.....and while the first 6 months fine....when I want a cocktail I will have one..... -
This rain has to stop.....I need to walk!! And it is not just rain it is down pour for days...flooding in some areas....depressing

oh so sorry Myka. I walk everyday at work in the parking garage. It keeps me out of the sun and the rain and there is an incline. Of course in a small town that is probably not an option either. Find a friend with a tread mill or see if your town has a gym for $10 a month. Walking is so important in this process.

Wouldn't Quiona be better than potatoes? It is higher in protein?

Is your surgery a secret?
Myka99 replied to Tara1992's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My mother knows, 2 of my best friends and my sons father....other than that I really don't feel it is anyone's business....I am not ashamed I got surgery that is just me.....and it is coming off slow enough that no one questioned it yet. -
I find I can eat a good amount of food for what some people can eat.....I eat a lot of Quiona, chicken breast, eggs and cheese.....I average at least 5 glasses of water a day (which I am working on) I try to stay away from carbs as much as possible...I have had whole grain bread once or twice but no rice, potatoes or pasta....I stick to veggies and chicken.....I am counting calories and protein and I average from 600 to 850 cal a day and min 60 carbs......I eat enough I don't need to drink the protein shakes unless I don't have time to eat then I substitute....my surgeon is moving provinces and rescheduled my 6 week check up twice....so now I will never see him again....if I am doing something wrong I need to know....and I don't have a team to contact so that is not a response.....
-
Meaning I either feel like I am not eating enough and my body goes into starvation mode and hoards everything or I eat to much and that is why I am not losing....
-
BOOM! Scale isn't movin but down another size of jeans....wasn't a hope in hell of fitting into these 2 weeks ago! Happy Happy

Ok so my 6 week check up was suppose to be in the 31st and they changed it to June 7th (tomorrow) THEN they just called and rescheduled it to July 7th.....????? Isn't the 6 week check up important?

Well I have been pretty lucky everything I eat agrees with me till yesterday ....had blueberries ...they were good...then 10 mins later or so I thought I was going to die....I didn't throw up but stomach pain was ouff....spent the day in bed and last night by 7 pm I was ok again....no more blueberries for me.
-
Well my surgery was 4 weeks and 4 days ago. Aparantly I ha e no idea what I am doing because I only lost 7 lbs since surgery....which I could of done with a regular stomach....and I would of had regular bowl movements....so frustrated.
-
Don't be discouraged! That will only lead to old habits. It does pick up eventually and you have just come out of a 3 week stall period plus likely gaining from fluids in the hospital. The smaller losses will add up!! Keep up with the plan and look back at this in a few months. You will see how far you have come!
