I have a high tolerance for pain. The first two days in the hospital I pressed the pain button whenever I could. After that I took no pain Meds. I'm so glad I had the surgery. Go for it

jennyqp replied to Bodhi Tree's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Dry mouth spray! I think it was biotin. Read it here and glad o brought it. Other than that not much phone charger. They had everything else -
Everyone is different or so I read here for the last 6 months. I was sleeved 8/15/16. Psw 211. Sw 201 Cw 159. ( I'm 5' 3") We are about the same. I wish I could lose quicker too. But I am happy and feel good most of the time. I throw up occasionally. I eat too quickly drink before I eat etc. Some meats are harder to eat than others. Try to find easier meats. I still eat tuna salad or Scrambled eggs for dinner sometimes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi I'm jen. 50 years old. Married for 20 years. 6 months ago we quit our jobs, sold our house and moved to Florida. Just bought a sailboat and ate getting ready to take off for a few months. I had lost 100 pounds on. My own in 2012. Diet and exercise. But due to medication, prednisone and an illness. I gained back 60. So I decided to have the sleeve 3 months ago. It wasn't easy. But now I wish I had done it 30 years ago! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Need help deciding if sleeve is for me
jennyqp replied to Alexis99's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hopefully whichever you choose will work for you. Of course we all had a food problem too or we wouldn't be here. I am three months out from sleeve and am happy with results. Hopefully I will be in a better trained state when my small stomach grace period is over. Still full after very little b Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
