    I was wearing a fake wedding ring set because mine didn't fit. Now 3 months post op, my original set fits and is starting to spin on my finger.

    Feeling comfortable in the folding sports chairs I use at my daughter's softball games. I am no loner hanging out the sides.

    I'm feeling good. I appear to be a slow loser so I am disappointed in my progress but I am just getting into the swing of getting enough protein so I am hoping it will start picking up soon. I still have not mastered eating slowly. But I've got the fluids thing down pat. And I just got a delivery of Gatorade Zero with protein today so I am hoping that will be a tasty addition to my daily intake.

    OH! No, he did have me take one for the 2 weeks I was on the antibiotics but none prior to that and none after.

    What is a PPI?

    My surgery was 8 weeks ago today.

    Daily but I really should stop because it is aggravating when the scale isn't moving.

    My surgeon did not do an EGD prior to surgery. I was also diagnosed with H-pylori when they biopsied my stomach tissue and had to do a 2 week run of antibiotics at 4 weeks PO. The antibiotics gave me reflux but once that was done I have not had any at all.

    Protein Alternatives

    mweiss1998 replied to Plutonium's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

    Have you tried protein water? I prefer the protein20 but there is also premier protein water but I found that terribly sweet.

    It’s got stuck!

    My first attempt at chicken breast was awful. Last night I had a baked chicken thigh and it was sooooo much better. The thighs are dark meat (but not too dark) so they retain a lot more moisture. I couldn't even eat a whole thigh but it was good. I had it with a side of creamed spinach and the multiple flavors made it that much more enjoyable.

    You can do it. I quit 25 years ago and it was probably one of the best things I ever did for myself. I did it cold turkey and so can you!

    Skin dryness after sleeve?

    mweiss1998 replied to icandothis_gastricsleeve020221's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I am applying lotion all the time. It is awful. The worst is my back where i can't reach to put lotion. It itches something terrible.

    Got sick

    mweiss1998 replied to mischa23's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I haven't had cooked salmon yet but I have had smoked salmon and raw salmon. Neither made me sick but they did give me a ton of gas.

    Sushi

    mweiss1998 replied to Mommyof3loves's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I had sashimi (which is just a slab of raw fish) on Monday at 4 weeks PO. It was wonderful! I hear you can get sushi wrapped in cucumber instead of rice.

    Want to get excited but I cant!

    mweiss1998 replied to JustJazzy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I didn't get approval until 60 hours before my surgery. I was all scheduled and even paid my hospital co-pay and was on pins and needles waiting for the call.

    I gained 11 lbs in the hospital. It's just air and fluids. Give it time.

    NO pre-op Liquid Diet...Anyone else?

    mweiss1998 replied to JazzyJess20's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Mine was Dr. Schmidt out of Hackensack.

    Dreaded STALL

    mweiss1998 replied to amyseattle's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

    I am on day 15 of my week 3 stall. It's so disheartening. We just have to push through and follow the plan.

    Advice please

    mweiss1998 replied to mischa23's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    We delayed my daughter's birthday dinner until Monday so I will at least be on soft foods. I told her to pick someplace with salmon on the menu for me. I felt it would just be too hard during puree. But as everyone said, get the soup. Either the clear miso or our local hibachi has a spicy egg drop soup. Egg drop soup was listed on my pureed menu specifically.

    I've read all about it I just didn't think it would last this long. I go for my 1 month check up on Wednesday and I am going to weight the same as I did on my 10 day. Just disappointing.
  22. mweiss1998
    I am 25 days PO and am currently afraid it isn't going to work. I dropped 20 lbs in the first 10 days and haven't lost a pound since. I am measuring and tracking everything, following my program and getting my fluids. I am hoping things start moving soon.
  23. mweiss1998
    I got Barimelts off amazon and started taking them 14 days PO as per my doctors instructions. I haven't had any issues.
  24. mweiss1998
    I, too, had an unknown hiatal hernia repaired during surgery. They essentially need to otherwise the food could get stuck. I would just be sure the surgeon knows ahead of time. Mine was surprised but acted as if it was no big deal.

    mweiss1998 replied to ms.sss's topic in The Lounge

    I am with you. I am currently a 42/44 B. I have nursed 3 children for 15 months each and they were already deflated and dangling. Not sure what will be left after I've lost this weight. I'll be back to my 34/36 A from high school and college but droopy. Good thing my hubby is an "ass man".
