Once again sorry for this post but i love the support here you guys are awesome. My parents have been on vacation for the past week and a half so some evenings i was kind of lonely which left me thinking about things...mainly things with the ex husband Looking back on the last 2 years I feel like an idiot. Why did I not leave the day I said I love you and he said he couldn't say it back. Why didn't I question things more when he got very possessive of his phone and wouldn't let me touch it. Why didn't I speak up when he went out with his female friends and didn't want me to come. I still want to think he wad not being unfaithful, at least physically, but all the classic signs were there and I feel like an idiot for not leaving two years ago

I Need Encouragement... Stall..
Sammi25 replied to AngieG0410's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you are definitely not done! i also had a stall about 3 months out that lasted a few weeks before the weight started to slip off again. it sounds like you are doing exactly what you need to be doing! The best advice I got was to pump up my weights and mix up my cardio routine. that helped me a lot! And congrats on the awesome weight loss so far, don't be discouraged we ALL go through it and think it is the end of our weight loss, and it never is! -
It sounds right on to me - exactly what my doc wants me to do and what I am working on (just joined curves this week!)

I was sleeved on 9/11/13...everything was going great until my 2nd week post surgery. I started experiencing severe gas and I'm not talking a little oops here n there, I'm talking gas trapped in my chest. I try to burp it out, I try to rock back n forth on the toilet to release it out that way...yet nothing! Did I mention..not one bowel movement since I got home on 9/12. Been on the phone with my Dr this morning, he suggested magnesium citrate, so I bought a bottle and plan to stay in for the day. Gosh I really hope this works, I'm in so much pain with the pressure coming from both ends I just want a big blowout of relief!!! Anyone else that's 6months-1year post surgery ever experience this dilemma...please do tell...it helps the rest of us rookies. Thank you

Gas Gas and more Gas!
steffranco replied to gemofagal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ouch!! I was sleeved on 9/9 and the week after surgery I was going number two then I just stopped. I was so uncomfortable!! I started taking mirelax and after the second dose I went. I take it every night now with hot tea and I go to the bathroom about every other day. -
Hi everyone. I was banded on feb 15th and this morning instead of eating something I decided I was going to have a glass of water with my calcium and multivitamin tablets before i ate something. Doing so I got nauseous and lied down. And then I got the hiccups and they have been ongoing now for the past 15 minutes. I'm so terrified that this is moving my band or something because its only been 2 weeks! Am I screwed? Did I just mess up my band?

So I got this weird allergy. It started on my chest as red bumps about 5 days ago. I then noticed they turned into brown patches. Then I noticed it was on my back, and really bad!!! I'm about to be 3 weeks post op on Tuesday. Should I be worried? Mom wants me to go to the hospital, I think I can wait to see my PCP. I'm just scared it's one of my organs or something lol

Did anyone need to lose 200+ lbs?
Chris R replied to bettyb71's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was 450 when I started the program, lost 60 lbs in 9 months pre-op, and have lost 38 more in 9 weeks post-op. I feel confident that I will be able to reach my goal of 150, a 300 lb total loss. The sleeve is a great tool, you just have to follow the directions! -
Ok. On days that I work out I usually do 40-50 mins of cardio. If the machines are right I am burning about 300-400 calories. Well the issue is both times this week I have been starved, like to the point that I came home and binged. On crap may I add. Like today I had 3 cookies with frosting at the tune of 455 calories. Don't know why just did. And that was after I had two steak tacos. Just need to figure out how to work around this. HELP any ideas of what you do or don't do that works. Do you eat first or right after or what. Do you eat the extra calories that you burned off or still try to eat whatever you usually do. Thanks

Insurance Fully Covered me AND I HAVE MY DATE!!! YEEEHAW!!
fotogurl replied to fotogurl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have United Healthcare through Wachovia. I've heard other people say they are trying to get a job at Wachovia just for their insurance. I didn't have to do a 6 month supervised diet. They did give me a list from the Dr's office of what my insurance needs me to do in order to cover me. Blood tests, OB Appt., Psych. Eval., Nutritionist Appt., things like that. After I finished everything on my list, everything was sent into insurance for approval, I was approved about 3 weeks later. And my date is for next week, May 28th. I started this journey in November, so it took a little over 6 months to get everything done. Yes, I do have health issues. I have sleep apnea (supposed to wear a C-pap ), I have High BP and I'm on meds, I have anxiety and take Lexapro for that, I have heartburn and take Prevacid, and diabetes & heart problems run in my immediate family. But my BMI is 44, so I think I was a candidate even without these health problems. I am having my surgery in Concord, NC by Roc Bauman. -

Bjornsyouruncle replied to Gzeuse's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My biggest suggestion would be for you to stock up on protein products that you like for the post-op period. I'm half way through my week of clear liquids and it would have completely sucked if I didn't have tasty protein options. -

Hiya Chucks, I am new to this e-mail business so bear with me. I had my Lap Band fitted on the 5th Nov 2003, and so far I have lost 10kg, most of that was lost in the first 3 weeks. My doctor here in Australia fills the band to the maximum in surgery, so I have no fills to look forward to, is this usual? My doctor has also said I should lose around 2kg a week! (which I am obviously not) so I am obviously a little bit concerned. Am I doomed to failure again. Also like some of the other people on these sites, I am still hungry (or maybe I think I am), and also some people expect me to not want to eat beacause of the band (perhaps they think I have had some of my brain surgically altered as well - if only) How can I convince myself and the people around me that I am going to lose the weight eventually. Janie 5.11.03 weight 108kg - 01.01.04 97.8kg

i would listen to your doctor. as long as you're not hungry and are losing weight i wouldn't get a fill just yet. i had my 2nd fill in june and haven't felt the need for another one (if anything i'm a little too tight). my weight loss had plateau'd for about 2 weeks but now i'm losing again. patience is the key here. you want the weight to come off slowly.

2 week post surgery exam
Shoelace replied to BeeCat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Fantastic! Swimming after 2 weeks..love it! Keep us posted on the next part of your journey -
Going well with the low fat low carb diet now. I'm actually not feeling as hungry lately due to smaller portions I've been eating, think my body is getting used to it :clap2: On Monday I start my liquid diet for the next two weeks till surgery, can't believe it is almost here. I notice that I want to sleep sooo much more cuz I just want to wake up and have it be another day closer to my surgery. I hope I'm not being naive by thinking I will be so much happier. I would love to have self-control consistently...hopefully my band will help me do that.

I spent my last week saying goodbye, or see ya later, to many of my favorite foods. I was so lucky not to have a pre-op diet. Great that your birthday was recent - and before you surgery! Glad you splurged and enjoyed that steak! My husband bbq'd steak tonite and it is taking me forever to eat a couple of ounces. My sister took me out for a fabulous seafood dinner two nights before my surgery - which was scheduled for my 49th bday! There will be plenty of time to eat perfectly soon. Enjoy your last few days without sabotaging your surgery : )

Scheduling pre-op diet visits UHC
SleevieInNewJersey posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have visit #4 coming up on Friday of my supervised 6 month diet (UHC provider). I have been very strict on going exactly one month apart. Each time has been on the 22nd or 23rd of the month. I may need to push this months visit to the 30th of the month. My visits have been, Dec 22, Jan 22, Feb 23... Will March 30 cause an issue in the connective monthly visits since its a week later than the previous visits. I guess I could call the insurance company, but would love to know any real world experiences. Thank you! -
Another weight gain/stall post
sligh1983 replied to JackieV's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was having the same problem... But the protein is so important.. Try Greek yogurts they are 15 gms and I also tried whey protein shots.. They are 42 gms and you can drink them in three shots. I feel great now that I get my protein in.
