Hey gang! Just chugging along over here, and 4 lbs away from 50lbs!!! It hasn’t even been three months 🙌🙌. Has anyone tried kodiak flapjacks? I typically am not eating anything with white flour and sticking to very clean, but heard this is a great alternative? -

Shake off, stand up and refresh. I’m guessing the sugar is what did it :( hope your feeling better soon! -

Thank you all for your well wishes. I missed it and my heart is broken... I have been admitted at a bariatric hospital. I have suffered so much. I was on my way to pick up my kids from school in the pouring rain (the 30 min ride was over an hour due to an accident), and I was on the freeway stopping every 10-20 minutes on the side to throw up. At one point in time my heart was palpitating and my fingers and toes started to go numb so I pulled over at a gas station and my husband who was over an hour away from me dialed 911 for an ambulance to come . They showed up with the Fire department and run an EKG to make sure I was not having a heart attack, my heart was racing and I continue to feel like I had an elephant sitting on my chestFire department and run an EKG to make sure I was not having a heart attack, my heart was racing and I continue to feel like I had an elephant sitting on my chest. I told them I needed to get to a place that handles Bariatric’s, But they refused to transport me all the way to Dallas where my doctor is private surgical center, as that would have been two hour ride in rush hour traffic, so I refuse to go with them to a local emergency room as I knew that they would not really know what to do with me and judging from my experience at the ER the previous day they would just try to control the nausea and let me go even though the strongest medicine they have, promethazine has not been controlling my vomiting.i also knew the wait there would be hours and hours as I would be triaged with trauma patients. My husband picked the kids and they met me in the gas station and I watch my eight-year-old son well up with tears streaming down his face when he realized mommy will not be making the mother son dance that he has been waiting for over a year )missed last year’s one due to being out of the country, and this year I promised him come whatever, I’ll be there! I even rescheduled my work trip out of county to be there (scheduled to leave this Thursday and I just don’t know how I can go...). My heart just broke and I felt like I had failed him as A mom, and even then, the crazy side of me tried to tell him it will be OK and we will still go but then I proceeded to violently vomit in front of my kids and realized it’s just not gonna happen . I had my husband stay with the kids and I still drove myself to the hospital in Dallas. Because him driving me would mean bringing along the kids for a long night and what is the point in that. I drove through the rain vomiting most of the way by the time I made it here I was vomiting every 10 minutes. Exhausted, my esophagus burning, felt like a giant grapefruit was stuck in it. They started an IV and gave me some nausea meds which did not work and I just keep throwing up spit and bile. Morning can’t come soon enough so my surgeon will come and probably scope me. sorry for long post... got nothing but suffering and time here. But I thank God he’s kept me alive, so please pray they fix me soon... I am so sorry! Sending you comfort, healing, and peace. -
Weight-loss slowed after starting exercise?
sassysleever76 replied to AJP's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m 8.5 weeks post op, just started working out with a trainer and it seems as if I might gain a lb this week!!! Ugh 😑 but I figure if we keep the pace, it’ll all wash out in the end. Good luck! -

Why is it that sometimes everything goes so smoothly and then I feel like it’s a struggle with a lb or two? I swear, I gain them, I lose them, and repeat 🤯🤯🤯 -

Ok my fellow losers, who still takes probiotics and who doesn’t? I just ran out of my first two months supply and I’m not sure if I think continuing is beneficial or not? Hmmmm -
Anyone with young kids? How did you explain hospital stay?
sassysleever76 replied to megolego's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’m a young widow, and my younger girls are 9 and 11. I didn’t tell them, I sent them to camp. I knew no matter what I said they would be anxious/scared and I didn’t want them to worry one bit. So I made back up plans in case camp needed assistance, Family was on call, and I was able to have a few days to recoup. When they came home I made it easy and low key, they my doctor and I decided to do a couple things to make me healthier. That was it. Good luck to you! -
I also used Dr Ortiz at the OCC in August, no drain, and it was an amazing experience!

I think I’m close to @MargoCL in surgery dates and I’m striving for 60 - 80 g of protein and usually hitting 600 calories. 80 +oz of water daily. And I’m eating small meals 5 - 6 times a day.

It’s a code that you use with the Baritastic app that I guess allows you access to track all that information. But you get the code from your surgeon. -

Does anyone have a cool app or sheet that helps them record their body fat? I don’t have a Baritastic code because I had my surgery in Mexico.
