    One Month Post Op/Plateau?

    Remember ,you have put your body through a lot. It is spending a lot of time trying to figure out what the hell you did to it. You will start to lose again. Give it time to sort out what is going on.

    I think I screwed up, please help

    Make sure to eat slowly. Put your fork down in between bites. You can easily over-eat if you do it too fast. Your brain needs time to talk to your stomach to tell it that you are full.

    Seeking a buddy

    I had a gastric sleeve 6 weeks ago. Please don't let what happens to others scare you. You will be fine! Good luck on the journey!

    3 more days!!

    My surgery was done 6 weeks ago. It was done with a scope. I had 6 small incisions which are healed now. The stapled stomach inside takes 6 weeks to heal. Please don't worry. It will be fine. Try not to over-think things.

    Any Oregon Sleevers here?

    I had my sleeve done February 26th in Eugene by Dr. MacColl.
  8. What I found with my surgery is the more I walked the less pain I had. It was the air they filled me with that hurt worse than the incisions. As soon as I walked and passed all that , it was a breeze. I also have a high pain tolerance though. Each person is different.
  9. I told everyone. I made this decision, I am proud of it and I own it. If I am asked why, I tell them I didn't want to die too young from weight related health issues. I figure they will talk behind my back anyway so it just as well be about my weight loss. hahaha! I was surprised actually how supportive everyone was and still is. Whether to tell anyone or not is totally a personal choice. You owe nothing to anyone.

    Shower dizziness

    Try showering after you have had some protein. that helped me. And make sure your water isn't too hot.
  11. Welcome Macpower! Just jump in at any time. We all need the encouragement . That is why we are here. I am 5 weeks post-op. Any questions, just ask us.
  12. I am going to a support group once a week. It has helped me a lot to keep things in perspective. Every one who is a year or more out tell me " Don't take that first bite of sugar" You need to just quit eating it. The cravings will stop.

    Lettuce

    I have been told that butter lettuce is easier to digest than Iceberg. I had no clue there was a difference in lettuce.

    My god......what have I done?

    You are grieving ! It is a part of the process. Hang in there! Come here to vent! Better than turning to food which is what a lot of us would have done in the past.
