3 weeks post op stopped losing, gained a little????
Apple203 replied to calvinrn2011's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
LOL, good point!! -
My 26yo son is 6'3" or 6'4" and carries about 220# -- its a very good weight for the height.
-
Can you tell your surgeon you have a lactose issue? Or that milk is gross, LOL?
-
20 oz skim milk is basically a higher carb, flavorless protein drink.
-
Wow, I didnt even realize this was possible! I actually gained 8#s from the surgery itself, which I lost after several days, plus another 7#. ETA, I just realized that I said 9# before -- it was actually 7#. Bad mental math on my part!

Dental issues after Gastric Bypass things they never tell you!
Apple203 replied to Datsweetbabydoll 2's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Are y'all taking calcium still? Do you get regular dental care? You are the second person to post about this issue in two days. -
21# in 3 days????
-
I go straight to softs, too. But not until 2 day weeks of protein shake misery. LOL, at least I have figured out how to manage them with 64 ounces of water.
-
I can’t wait to make that stuff. Sorry for your misery, hope it passed quickly.

How to get enough fluid during the day
Apple203 replied to TheSirBeardsley's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It’s interesting how different all of our plans are! I can not count protein shakes toward my water intake. -
Sleeve incision area pain
Apple203 replied to wjgo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used ice packs in the hospital. I thought they really helped. It gets easier by the day to do simple stuff like get out of bed, or roll over. -
I peeled mine off after a week because I was having an allergic reaction to the glue. The incisions were fine. In fact, they look much better than the irritated areas from the bandages!

Mild to moderate acid reflux resolved after VGS?
Apple203 replied to Rexcom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
For me, so far so good. Had large hiatal hernia repaired. -
127lbs before surgery date!!!!
Apple203 replied to Sparkle36703's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can you find a different surgeon?? -
Holy crap, I have lost 9# since surgery!! Woot! I I humbly apologize for trashing Premier Protein -- I love it now. :-)
-
New here! 3 weeks post-op and down 18lbs!
Apple203 replied to xbadwlfbb's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Great photo essay! Congrats on the weight loss. -
One other procedure to consider is an endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty. Not sure if you get the benefit of ghrelin reduction with it. I had the laproscopic sleeve surgery a week ago and recovery has been easier than I would ever have expected. Best wishes to you, whatever you chose.

Good luck, y'all.

Do You Attend Support Group Meetings in RL?
Apple203 replied to FluffyChix's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@FluffyChix Its a shame your center's meetings are so far away -- maybe the local meeting will be OK. Maybe once a month I could justify such a drive. I'm lazy, LOL. -
Do You Attend Support Group Meetings in RL?
Apple203 replied to FluffyChix's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Our monthly meetings are run by the dietitians. I haven't gone to my first one -- it was postponed last night because of snow. I've heard its mainly veterans.
