Not a little big... that shirt is huge on you! I grabbed a sweater on the way out the door to take to Disneyland I couldn't button it last time I wore it and now I'm swimming in it... if you love be the shirt take a sewing class and make something out of the fabric.

I do OK at meals but forget when I am preparing food. Swallowed a hunk of not well chewed raw carrot yesterday. That should keep my careful for a while. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Crying in the shower

We all have eating disorders. Getting an insight like this, as painful as it was, is a positive thing in the long run. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
the only th i Nguyen worse that how premiere shakes smell is how t hey taste. Comparing them to road kill is an insult to dead animals everywhere.

Worried about Breastfeeding!
Aggiemae replied to rockpaper's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
You can wean him or add calories t o your diet. Ask the NUT. You won't be able to pick him up opts op but at that age he can settle himself. My large suture line was sore until I started wearing a binder, the small ones were barely noticeable after the 2nd day. I don't think that a wiggling toddler hitting or bumping your abdomen can do much damage but I would make sure he isn't wearing shoes. -
Phone call the day after my pre op surgeon appt. Surgery was the next week.

1 wk out can't finish all the protein
Aggiemae replied to H.150ToGo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You will not stretch your sleeve. It doesn't stretch. Is apple juice on your plan? I can only have 25-30 grams of carbs a day and a glass of Apple juice has 28 grams. liquids don't make you fell full because they go right through the sleeve. -
Unjury Protein
Aggiemae replied to creatingthenewme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got sick of sweet Protein drinks pretty quickly. The unjury unflavored is the only thing I use now. I like to make shakes using 4oz of raw juice, a cup of ice and a scoop of powder. It's between 8-10 grams of carbs but I only gave one a day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Has anyone looked at the money they have saved post op?
Aggiemae replied to mbuczkowski's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Reduction in food costs but increase in clothing, hair and makeup costs and possibly plastic surgery... celebration trip to Europe...I don't think I can make a case for ever breaking $ even. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Does anyone wear body-girdles? Kinda like a compression girdle?
Aggiemae replied to Wonder WomanNJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can wear them right after surgery. Mine helped with the incision pain. I prefer shaper leggings and tank tops with built in underwire bra. Easier to take off to pee. I got a spanks arm slimmer. It was $20.00 bucks and works great but it is sheer and I don't think it will last long. I look a size smaller and lots more toned in shape ware. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
They are a treat. The "net carbs" crap in nonsense and will stall weight loss. Maybe best avoided till maintenance. Lots of people get diarrhea from alcohol sugar. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Walked almost 38 miles in the past 5 days
Aggiemae posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's our last day visiting the happiest place on earth... and I have walked almost 38 miles in the past 5 days!!!!! One day, I think it was Thursday, we did magic morning so got in an hour early and stayed till midnight, I actually walked 9 + miles. I also swam laps for 30 mins every morning at the hotel pool, but I already did that at home. The scale better reflect this when I do my weekly weight on Tuesday! . This was lunch today... I got it at a hotdog stand so (for some crazy reason) I assumed it would include a HOTDOG. Roasted portabella mushrooms, onions, red peppers and cheese... tossed the bread and fries. It was tasty but not $10.00 tasty. First meal I've had that was not Protein based. Will have to have a shake later. Two Things that happened on this trip: I didn't need a seat belt extender. I rode the bobsled for the first time in over a decade because I can get up from a sitting position from the floor without help. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

My husband, who is normal weight and fit but can eat anything but he was really sad about losing his eating buddy. People here often say that their overweight partners have a very hard time with this Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I've been married for 42 years and my husband and I have a "don't ask don't tell" philosophy about my weight but I've lost so much weight so quickly that I want him to be more enthusiastic. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Aggiemae replied to H.150ToGo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can't stretch a sleeve. If you add 1/2 scoop of unflavored Protein to your cottage cheese and yogurt you will increase the protein to almost 20 grams per 4oz, Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Lost 120 pounds, Now what?
Aggiemae replied to diana89131's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
In a way your real journey is just starting. Keep a food log that adds up your calories and carbs and keep track of your weight. If you see you are gaining don't wait till you are up 20-30 pounds before doing something about it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
How did you tell your younger kids about your surgery
Aggiemae replied to julie74601's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I told my kids I was going to the hospital to get my stomach fixed. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I don't use much non sugar sweetener and we use only butter or olive oil. I find the ideal of substituting real food for lower calorie substitutes suspect since nice Americans use so many low fat and sugar free products yet we have been growing steadily fatter year after year.

The Statistics are not in our favor? (According to my worried Dad)
Aggiemae replied to Anna Nim's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Adding all those random numbers up and getting a total isn't a "statistic ". I am 64 years old and about 7 weeks post op and have lost about 25 pounds. I do have GURD but despite that the only thing I regret is not doing it sooner. I am pain free for the first time in 12 years and have been completely off narcotic pain meds for a month now for the first time in 10 years. You dad means well but the is reacting from fear. In the end only you can decide. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
