2 weeks post sleeve and just ate a whole pint of low cal ice cream
tenseintexas replied to Danbug74's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am really surprised your doctor suggested you could have any type of ice cream. We were lectured on and on about that type of food - no matter if it's zero fat zero calorie - being a no go. Not trying to jump on you at all- just very interesting how different doctors are -

Not Enough Stomach Removed
tenseintexas replied to Shannon226's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Don't they use a bougie to measure during surgery? -
Hi! Well... before surgery I had a very flat butt- have had one all my life really--- I have been doing pure barre for about a year now and I have a butt now that I love ! ( it's all muscle ) my arms look pretty good too from that class ( los of push-ups ) ... one my inner thigh when I am standing looking has a little extra skin and there not a thing outside of surgery to fix that ( I don't think) .... so I will just live with that part.

Weight loss at 14 mo post op
tenseintexas replied to Angel46's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I dropped weight until About 15 months- basically eating whatever the crap I wanted too. Literally. I mean very little of it but still-whatever I wanted . It stopped at 18 months. I gained 5 pounds then - enough to freak me out -

Sounds like you have a ton of restriction. Drinking is not going to make you feel a lot of restriction- the further you get out from surgery the more you can drink. If applesauce makes you feel full then there is no problem.

What you wish you'd known before having weight loss surgery
tenseintexas replied to UndercoverDiet's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I wish I had known that the first five months would be terrible. I was a special case in that I was super nauseas for that time and no meds worked so I really just didn't eat - but I would still do it again- but I was not prepared for that -

Got a date... Chickened out!
tenseintexas replied to JeezLouise91's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I did it at 39 and man I wish I had done it earlier . -
This seems like a fad. Like going and getting a wrap to make you lose five pounds. I know what they are and what they do- but we just all paid 14000( or I did ) to make a real change and get a tool that is majorly effective. One of my fav things about this surgery to me is that I am not Falling for and spending money on things that more than likely won't be a lasting answer

When do you stop losing?
tenseintexas replied to mustanglauri's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't know that is a good question. More info needed I am 14 months out- down 63 and think I am done . I am in the 140s and think it is where I am supposed to be. -

tenseintexas replied to tfarr's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have always had this problem. Usually have a bm Once a week - if I am Lucky. I started started taking a generic laxative from Walmart- it is literally 84 cents- anyway- I take two and the next day it works - very well -
Lettuce does not do well for me . I am 14'months out and I can only eat about 5 bites and my stomach hurts . I still do it/ just when I have salad as a meal- I don't eat very much [emoji106]🏻

What did your doctor say about you having surgery?
tenseintexas replied to ceciliarose's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My general doctor was actually the one who said he thought it would be great for me... that was so shocking to me- I never thought anyone else saw me as really large until that day! -
Nobody comments on weight loss?
tenseintexas replied to Jenopolis's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Exactly what they said[emoji1312][emoji1312][emoji1312]. No one at all noticed the first thirty five pounds of mine but as soon as I hit 50 pounds it was all anyone talked about and made me veryyyyy uncomfortable. Not I have to lost about all I am Going to probably - 62 and am almost at goal Weight and no one says a thing anymore and that bugs me. Ha! So no comment or lack of comment ever made me happy. Go Figure . Make your own happiness I guess is my advice to myself. . -
Not a magic fix..............
tenseintexas replied to chuswysly's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
All very good and wise points!! The sleeve actually does seem a little bit magical to me- in that I don't care about food too much anymore-- ha! Seems pretty magical
