goldenbarbie replied to goldenbarbie's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Aww thank you babe! Yes I would always see people post and I was so embarrassed. I didn't even want to open up about having surgery or going through it. I took private progress pics along the way (every month) so Thursday I may toughen up and post them lol! [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️ -

goldenbarbie replied to Drzthickness85's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you so much!! Honestly I don't even stick to a day to day diet or eating plan, I just try to get in protein daily (salmon, chicken, beans, egg whites, yogurt) and I drink 3 bottles of 30.4oz core water a day. I had sleeve on 12/14/16. SW: 316 CW: 177. [emoji176][emoji176][emoji176] -
Lost desired for food
goldenbarbie replied to Drzthickness85's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'll be a year post opp in like 10 days and I still don't even think I eat 500 calories a day lol everybody is different just stay on top your protein and drink your water I feel like when I drink a lot of water I actually get an appetite. If I don't hydrate then I feel sick whenever I try to eat. -
11 months post op and hungry every half hour...I am freaking out!!
goldenbarbie replied to up4challenge's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You prob don't drink enough water because of the type of water. I know it may sound crazy but try CORE or gerber baby water. Im a year post opp on 12/14/17 and I just started drinking CORE water 2 weeks ago... my doctor said I'm suppose to drink atleast 60oz of water a day and for the first time EVER since surgery I am able to drink 60oz of water (2 bottles of core!!!) -
My tummy loves unhealthy food!
goldenbarbie replied to Katariina's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I also had the same problem in my early stages of surgery. Are you drinking enough water? Try to drink 20oz of water then when you can try something small like a piece of salmon and it should go/stay down -
FIRST THANKSGIVING SINCE SURGERY....
goldenbarbie replied to ThickGirl5683's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sounds great!! Did the greens make you feel sick at all? I'll be a year post op on 12/14 and I have yet to have salad or anything since surgery -
Help I can’t meet liquids
goldenbarbie replied to Junebug1973's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have struggled with dehydration for quite some time. Try gerber baby water - $1 gallon at Walmart Try CORE water - $1.50 per bottle on sale right now at target and Whole Foods. Little sips. [emoji176] -
You should deff do the sleeve. It's worth it. I'm 22, almost one year out and it was the best life changing decision I ever made. [emoji176]

12 days post op & STARVING!!!
goldenbarbie replied to dfhtuy89's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's head hunger and you WILL get over it it just takes time! I use to feel the same way and just crave any and everything. When you start to lose more weight your head hunger will go away -
Throwing up after eating.
goldenbarbie replied to Rose400491's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm almost a year out and I also throw up every now and then. No worries you are still healing and you are also learning what you can and can't tolerate. Good luck with your journey [emoji176] -
Aw thank you baby. Deff feel free to reach out if you ever want to talk or have questions! [emoji176][emoji176]

Hey guys! I was sleeved 12/14/16. I'm almost a year out and I'm down over 120 pounds. I struggled with dehydration since day one, even till this day unfortunately I would feel sick every now and then due to not drinking enough water. Believe it or not ALL WATER IS NOT THE SAME! So if you are struggling with dehydration I hope this helps.. 1-3 months I only drank gerber baby water. $1 for gallon at Walmart Currently - Poland spring, Fiji and my new favorite CORE. Core is expensive but it is worth it for those who are struggling with dehydration. Each bottle is 30oz and today I had 3 bottles... that is the first time ever since surgery I got that much liquid down in 24 hours. Good luck to everyone I hope this helped whoever needs it [emoji176]

Just for fun...what was/will be your "last" meal?
goldenbarbie replied to KIP-MI's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My last meal was an Italian hot dog, fries and wings just because I knew I wouldn't be able to enjoy it again [emoji30] now I'm almost 1 year post op -
I'm in Princeton!

I love my sleeve because..?
goldenbarbie replied to dreamingsmall's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you so far I've lost over 120 pounds.. I started 316. I'm now 189. Goal is about 160 [emoji847] -
Don't regret it! Take smaller sips, or suck on ice. I was sleeved in December and I had the same problem up to the point where I was in and out of the hospital frequently for dehydration. That stopped about after 7 weeks out. Now I'm almost a year and almost at my goal already. You'll get through it! No worries. Feel better.
