3 month exercises
dominyks_mom replied to dominyks_mom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think that's great! I'm almost 4 months or and am on week two of couch to 5k. I also have a personal trainer come 3x a week, 30 min twice and an hour on Saturday. I usually walk in addition to the c25k 5 times a week. My surgeon said as long as we're feeling good, we can do what we want.I think I am just so lost on everything. I know there is no way I can afford the whole personal trainer thing Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App -

Yes that would be great! When did you get sleeved?I was sleeved 10/21/16 after having my date changed twice! Each time I was getting close I was anxious. I tried talking myself out of it. I have an anxiety disorder which just made it worse. But I got it done it wasn't so bad. The surgeon even told me before I went back that I could get off the bed and walk out if I still wanted lol. I only stayed one night in the hospital which just made it better. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App -

That's great! Can't wait to see at least 10 drop ????... But I am honestly nervous now. I've been watching "my 600 pound life" on TLC and it gets me anxious I have been watching that too and the ones that get me are the ones that don't do anything with it! I was so nervous and my surgery date got changed a lot! Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App Yes! I thought of changing it honestly... But I want to get it over and start my journey. The 2nd episode scared the hell out of me... When one of the twins almost died ????I watched that one too! And it made me cry! But I think as long as your Dr knows you well enough everything should go good. I have a whole bunch of tests done because I have a lot of heart problems. Everything went quick with no problems at all. I healed great. I have been able to eat alright. I didn't use any pain meds at all or anything. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App Wow! That's good. I cried as well... But I want to be like you were with very minimal pain. I have this huge fear of what can go wrong... I'm so glad you had no complications ????????I have a stupid high pain tolerance. I had a c section almost 6 years ago and didn't have any pain meds with that either. I also read a lot of books before getting sleeved. So it helped calm my nerves a little bit Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App WOW C-SEC?! You beat me! For my C-section 7 yrs ago I still recall that pain of getting out the bed for the first time...... Took my breath away painful as hell! I had my son natural with no pain meds & I was ready to kill my fiance ???? but I think I'll want some meds kids drive me crazy!Lol yeah my son was so worried about me after surgery and now that I am able to eat he has to make sure that I am able to eat all my food lol. He is so funny Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App -

Oh man, I don't like having anything done on valentine's day! I had to get teeth pulled on valentine's day one year but thank God that I don't ever need pain meds for anything lol! Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I am almost 3 months post op now! I was 257lbs at surgery and now but 219lbs. I am so excited. I got sleeved 10/21/16. It hasn't been easy. I still have some issues with some food or I am too scared to try new foods as I don't want to sick which I am sure none of do. I guess I do have one question, what do some of you do or eat to help with your weight loss? Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on 10/21/16. I am also only 5'3". When was yours? Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I just feel like I should be further. But I am sure that is everyone! Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I get the whole dumping syndrome too. So I just don't have sugar at all. Or just a very low tiny amount. But I just get an upset stomach and sweats and stuff like that. I was sleeved 10/21/16. I hope this helps you somewhat. But don't just look for sugar. look for other sugar too. Sugar alcohols, sacrulose (spelling could be wrong), high fructose corn syrup, and so on Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I hope you get better with your pain soon. If it doesn't I would call your surgeon and see if you can get something different to help. I was hooked up to fentonal in the hospital even though I didn't use any pain meds at all while in the hospital or after I got out. Granted I have a very high pain tolerance. I would imagine it will get better soon. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I am the same way. Even with the Water. But other people are noticing. What you could do, I am not sure if you did this before your surgery is take your measurements. I took mine right around my surgery and then again around my 6 week mark and it showed me I had actually lost a total of 33/34 inches total! It really helps you stay on track and shows you that you really are losing and not just weight Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I was the same way. I noticed I was very moody and very emotional! It's not so bad now. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I still wish you well. We all deserve to feel better in our own skin. And to be able to love ourselves Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I know that one. But the Drs blame the weight even though I explain to them I was getting them when I was skinny. Plus I sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and tons of other health problems. So we will see Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I get the whole "You don't look like you weigh that much" and what not. It took a lot for me to do the surgery. It was suggested by 2 different doctors in 2 different states that I get it done. I suffer from 7 different headaches and migraines and on tons of meds so I am really hoping this helps! So far I am down almost 35lbs Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I just love this app. Surgery make us all different. In my opinion. We really have nobody to relate to. And it can be hard at times even with having our significant others. They may be there for us, but they don't fully understand what we really go through. I am about 8 weeks out of surgery, was sleeved on 10/21/16. My fiance still doesn't understand all of it. But is still supportive lol Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

When did you start loving your sleeve?

It will take time but it will be worth it, especially in your case! I hope you feel better soon! Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App -
mine was 3 months before surgery and they did a urine test. I quit 9/1/16. Thankfully because I drank so much Water and fluids I was able to clean my system. I was unaware how quick they were going to test me. I was sleeved 10/21/16. I have had 2 smokes since and they were gross to be honest. My Dr put me on wellbutrin to help me quit Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

When I drink Protein shakes I use almond milk. The sleeve made my lactose intolerance way worse! I can't even tolerate Greek yogurt and barely string cheese! I was sleeved 10/21/16. I don't mind the surgery at all. I never ate much to begin with but I realize that I ate more than I am able to now that's for sure! It will get better. Just wish I could figure out how to get fluids down! Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App -
Question about incision sites
dominyks_mom replied to White Sale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have one that is harder than the rest. It could be because of the trauma that is endured in one compared to the others as well. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App
