Last year I was diagnosed with mixed hyperlipidemia .Got my labs back for 7 months post op . Cholesterol dropped 48 points and I have no sign of hyperlipidemia! All my labs were normal.

I was soooooo sick for the first 18ish hours. I was really glad my husband didn't have to see me like that. There are pros to every bad situation. Lol.

Hang in there, it will get better ♥️

I felt that way for the first week after surgery. The first month I spent forcing myself to drink water and my protein shake because I had absolutely no desire to eat or drink. The gas pain does get better. I’m 6 weeks post op and am able to eat and drink (separately, 30 minutes apart). I’m on fork tender foods now, and I still get the post op blues when some foods sit very heavy in my pouch. But it’s a learning process that doesn’t come overnight. You’re re-learning your body again and that takes patience and time. Give yourself a break and try to get as much water and protein in as you can.

Yes but it will take a lot of work on your behalf now that you are close to a healthy BMI. Essentially you need to be counting calories and monitoring macros. Work out our calories for weight loss given your gender, height, current weight and activity levels (use a calorie counting website if you aren't already), set your profile for weight loss, use the daily allowance given, weight and measure very thing that goes pass your lips and track your calories. Bear in mind that some of the weight you want to lose is likely skin weight as your body fat percentage may already be in the healthy weight range. As you get closer to the healthy weight range weight loss is lower and slower.

lol no worries I am very used to people not liking what I have to say. And no I am not this guy yall think I seem like, I am not a troll just someone that has no filters and honestly speaks truth even if it is hard to hear. I only said what I said because the sleeve surgery is bashed in like all the FB groups I am in because of posts like this....so many people are lead to believe the sleeve is bad when it is not. Many people go on to have sleeve with no issues. Pointing out the poster was also at fault makes sure that those that are less informed will hopefully make sure they do more research into the weight loss surgery as well as the possible surgeon before going into such a life changing surgery. That is something that should have been included, but the poster did not seem as through they felt any of the blame was on themselves in the situation as well. Thank you for the apology though! :3 I am not here to cause trouble, I just like people to have more than just one sided information....it scares people.

Yeah, I don't think it's him either. @Zinthis : apologies in advance if you are not whom the masses think you are. We had a resident troll that was recently booted off the island and your "tough love" advice was eerily reminiscent of his posts. Please don't be scared off!

First off congratulations on that weight loss! 🙌🏻👏🏻 That’s amazing! But the struggle is real no doubt! I don’t want to go back to my highest ( which Ik I never will) but I don’t like where I am now, I’m a stinking snacker at night and that’s my downfall. I gotta make it a point to have something healthy on hand or I’m done! #notgivingup

I don't think this would apply to most people who have VSG because you've had A LOT of surgeries that most people don't have - and won't need to have. I'm very sorry this happened to you, but other than the GERD (which about 30% of VSG patients experience, from what I've read), the rest of this is pretty rare. Most people have no issues with VSG - or only minor ones. and yes - it sounds like RNY might be an option - I don't know about the other things you have, but it should improve - if not cure - the GERD part of it. again, I'm very sorry this happened to you. Sounds like you're one of the very few unlucky patients...

Had mine aug 12th and I JUST started feeling better yesterday 🤕🤕 so much pain . Nausea and gas pain.
