    First Procedure

    Hopefully my height will stretch the skin across my body as i loss. . hahahaha. . . just a lightening of the discussion. . . i don't think i will have plastic surgery. . . i've had too many surgeries, this one told me it won't be happening again. . . my veins can't handle a IV anymore so with this surgery i needed a central line and even with that, the anesthesiologist had a terrible time getting it started, had to stick me 8 times before he got it. . .now that is scary. . . that really opened my eyes. . the body can only handle so much stress. . . i'm just thankful that this was the surgery i chose as my last. . . . the loose skin will just be a reminder . . . i'll duck tape it somewhere! hahaha

    Thanks itstime, i was starting to wonder if the doctor even did the surgery cause i can manage all this so well. . . well we'll find out tomorrow now won't we. . . I'm a little afraid to start the next phase because what if i can't tolerate the foods? I really like everything i'm going to be eating, i just don't want to puke . . guess slow and steady wins the race right?

    Pre Op Diet Heacache!

    Hi Barb, actually i was sleeved on 12/29. . .so being 8 days out. . . i'm still on clear liquids until thursday. . i go to the doctor that day to get a check up, weighed and then i have to go to nutrition class to learn how to advance to the next level of nutrition. . and then after that class i go to an exercise class to learn how to exercise i guess. . . but let me tell you, after you start feeling good and have only broth, water, jello, and popsicles to "eat" you tend to go a bit nutty. . . my glucose dropped to 69 last night (i'm not diabetic), i was sweaty, and really irratable, so i increased my jello to 2 cups and 2 popsicles. . . had some tea with honey and felt soooooooo much better. . . after a couple took my glucose test again and it went up to 72. . . so that was better. . . can't wait to get off this clear liquid thing and get some other stuff in. . . . 1 more day! aggggghhhhhh. . . .
  4. Hi all, well i was sleeved 12/29, and am doing pretty darn good so far. . . have my doctor appt on thursday and will weigh at that time. . . i'm a tall person with a major large bone structure, so for me this weight loss thingy may take years! But then i do have years to work on it right? Rome wasn't built in a day either. . . . good luck to all. . . will keep you all updated soon

    Wow that is interesting. . . my doctor said mine would be 32/34. . . today that seems major impossible. . . i can do the following 8 days out. . . "eat" jello 8oz no problem, drink broth 8 oz no problem, drink water 1 mouthful at a time over a 20 minute period. . eat a popsicle without difficulty and in normal time. . . is this normal? I know it's only liquids but is this ok? I'm really worried when it's time to have the next phase. . . anyone else had this happen, liquids without difficulty, no heaving, nausea, or nothing? Tummy does let me know when it's accepting the liquids but it goes down without a problem. . . .oh and i'm still have diarrhea 3-4 times a day since the contrast. . .
  6. Thanks Tiff, i really like banana and milk. . so once i can start that i'll pick up some of the extracts as well. . . well this is day 8. . . i'm still hanging in there with clear liquids and not feeling as stupid

    Will I be a "slow" loser?

    Here comes momma Erykah, honey you have all your life to lose your weight, you'll have your sleeve and won't be able to stuff food into your tummy anymore, you're going to have to lose weight. . . so remember you'll lose and then your weight needs time to catch up and your body needs a break, you know sorta like you do. . . you work all week, then weekend comes and you need that break. . . don't stress out over stalls. . . stalls are just weekends for your body to take a break from it all. . . . stalls are good. . . you're going to do good. . . Rome wasn't built in a day either :drool5:

    Drinking Water

    Hi sweetie, i'm 7 days out today and OMG let me tell you. . . i used to love water and could drink 100 oz per day without any problems. . .after surgery when they let me have ice chips, i thought it was the most disqusting thing ever. . .then i though just plain water would be better, nope could taste that horrible chlorine, even in bottled water. . . ok, lets add something into it. . .nope nasty . . . left water alone for a few days, when i got home from hospital i tried my fridge water and welches sugar free dark berry blend mixers. . . ahhhhhhhh now there is water. . . i had crystal light cran-peach, but it's to harsh for me now, welches is just right. . . .now at 7 days out it takes me about 20 - 30 minutes to drink a 20 oz bottle
