There's also a chance you get depression after surgery, or hormone changes. That can cause tiredness. Trust me, I'm the queen of tired right now..i have both problems pre-op ;P hehe

Ooh I hope so too Papi

Guess not! :bored0:

I was just eating this for lunch :wink1: (no vsg yet) and was wondering how everyone handles this superfood (i love my squash *hugs it* :001_cool:) after surgery. Does anyone have problems with it?

I just got mine too, it's so everything! lol

Yaaaay! I'm already starting to wean my diet slowly and upping my exercise to improve my cardio. Anyone else scheduled around that Monday?

That's the sertraline in capsules right? i'd get awful heartburn on those and had to switch to celexa. ...it's done wonders for me. you don't feel any real effects until a while into it. me, 3 months.

These are all my concerns every time I read a post myself, thank you all for saying what I couldn't. Jill we really do care for you, don't take it as criticism please!

Reviiiivaaallll! I'm thinking of going back to curves. If you don't work hard at the machines you don't get a workout due to them being hydraulics. I would go nuts on those machines lol, my firstm onth i lost an inch everywhere and was starting to tone immediately. So, yeah, I want to go back to curves! If someone natters at me I just tell them I can't talk I have asthma. ;D

lol Jane, I hit that phase once during therapy.. so I don't think it's the weightloss per se. ;D I should add that when I say pretty I say it from the idiots' point of view. Not mine. Muahahaa.

This all reminds me of the times I've had in my life being viewed as a "bitch" just because of how I look. I'm possibly the happiest cheeriest most annoyingly goofy person at work, yet people flock to the proudly bitchy pretty skinny girl instead to be her friend, leaving me in a wake of cold regard. This is a person who would just yell at her desk to no one in particular about something trivial which is just shattering her day. She can do that, she's pretty. It's cute when you do it and you're not fat. lol Even my best friend there told me she's just so cute, and we're both overweight. I wanted to scream.

Be my friiiieeennnnddddd! <3

bougie [bo̅o̅′zhē, bo̅o̅zhē′] Etymology: Fr, candle a thin cylindric instrument made of rubber, waxed silk, or other flexible material for insertion into canals of the body in order to dilate, examine, or measure them. Surgeons use anywhere in the measurement called a french of 32-40. Most prefer a 32 unless they double stitch so that the stomach is tighter than that afterwards. A 40 is used for DS because of malabsorption added to the process. It's best to ask the surgeon you pick what size they prefer. You can always ask for a size. Some surgeons leave a 'pouch' after the sleeve, so some people can hold more than others after surgeries with the same french size.
