I went back to work last week and I work part time but do u guys find yourself still it is exhausting to do things ? I do hair and everytime I give a haircut I'm drained ! Does anyone else still have this?

Is anyone else on a 3 week stall? I know its normal but frustrating

That is awesome I'm just southwest of springfield!

i'm sorry i didnt see that this was for 12/22/12 sleevers sorry

I went from lapband - vsg = lapband highest weight 442 lb lowest weight on lapband 249 lbs band removed in aug 2012 gained 38lbs ! Highest weight before Vsg 287lbs pre op liquid diet lost 18lbs ! postop weight loss now i'm down to 251lbs so total loss 36lbs with vsg since my surgery on Dec 17th thats with the 2 week liquid diet!

Congrats on your weightloss your doing so good! This cracked me up because when I got my drivers lisence renewed I was still very heavy so when i told them my weight I know they wanted to start busting up laughing and i could see it in there eyes there thinking "REALLY LADY???" lol

How is your band right now ?

One more thing freespirt I usually eat 6 times a day but very small meals like for breakfast I ate a little under a hAlf a cup of Greek yogurt then I gave the rest to my daughter and it took about 30 min to eat

well I'm still swollen so I'm thinking the more it goes down the more I can eat but its a total different feeling then the band that feeling of actually being full and not that miserable like somethings stuck feeling cause has I'm talking to you I'm eating cream of wheat and I'm only able to eat 2 bites and I just put 1/4 a cup in it and usually takes about 30 min to a hour to eat which it should take that long anyways

I was banded in dec 29th 2010 and weighed at my highest 442 lbs I lost down to 249 lbs and in Aug of 2012 I had a major slip and had to have it removed! I put 38 lbs on so now after getting sleeved on dec 17th of 2012 ive just about got it back off i've lost 36 lbs I feel I made the right choice and I'm back on track with the weight loss!

So I am almost 2 1/2 weeks post op and today I finally had my drain took out and am finally on full liquid diet and I was so excited to get home and have a shake i was like a kid in a candy store lol! I made the reeces peanut butter cup shake and it was pure heaven but i drank a oz and I was full and i had filled it up to 8 oz is this a baby step thing or should I sip on it ? I put it back in the fridge to keep it cold I'm thinking i'm going to take it with me when I go pick up my kids and later on I'm wanting to try some cream of wheat ! It's been over a hour ago and I'm still full .

oh girl i'm thinking i'm gonna freeze to death ! i stay bundled up lol

1 scoop of chocolate protein , 1 lg tablespoon of creamy peanut butter and 1 cup of skim milk ! pure bliss very yummy

were all guilty of slipping but we get back on track my 2nd question is you had your surgery on the 17th were just 2 weeks out thats dangerous your stomach is in the healing process right now don't you know you could get a leak for eatting stuff like that ive steal have my jp tube still in for a controlled leak and all i've had is Water apple juice and broth ya i'm sick of it but a leak scares me to death! I don't want to sound goody goody it just scares me for you but just jump back on the wagon we all are guilty and be careful ! it's been rough we had our last christmas on saturday and I just fixed my kids there plates and I went and set on the couch why everybody else ate cause boy did those mash tators and stuffing and ham and turkey and sweet potatoes look good ! Good luck you got this !!!!

See I tried the sipping with the taking the pills and got choked on them I told my surgeon I have to take a bigger drink to get them down maybe even 2

Hello Fellow Dec 17th sleevers! All is well here been doing good went through a rough patch right before christmas and had to take a trip to ER to get hydrated cause i got dehydrated besides that its all good ! I havent took much pain meds if I need them I take during the day cause they make me not be able to sleep at night ! I went to dr yesterday have felt fine except for a gas bubble on my left side and had to have a esaphgram done and they said that I had a controled leak but surgeon seems to think that it is old scar tissue from my band so for percausion had to keep my drain in another week ! I start my full liquid on tuesday (SO READY) oh i wore a bra to the dr yesterday it was a sports bra but pretty excited about that lol the nurse was laughing at me cause i havent got to wear one ! I'm down 15lbs since surgery pretty excited about that !!!! Hope Everybody is doing good Godbless everybody

Was wondering if there by any chance being any full liquid recipes on here I start my full liquid diet on tuesday ??

That sounds yummy on both thank you so much

You look fantastic I was curious how much you have lost your highest and lowest weight?

So I havent had any pain just trouble getting my fluids in and I started getting weak and skin dry and I had diahera since weds and I wasnt peeing but once a day and rapid heart beat on top of that i had lost 18 lbs in 4 days ! I was extremely dehydrated and to top it off I have factor V leiden and I was still on lovanox shots and started my coumadin back lets say my levels are suppose to be between 2.5-3 the highest its every been was 4.5 and my eyes started to bleed tonight it was 9.5 they had to stop my coumdin and give me viatamin k to thicken my blood please pray for me !!!! After they pumped 3 bags of fluid in me i was able to pee and go home when my mom had to drop me off at the door cause i was so weak when i left i walk to my husband's suv that was almost a block away! Let me know if anyone has had this happen?

Thank you so much!!

Usually after surgery I get constipated well this time I've had diahera since I got home it seems to slow down when I take liquid phenorgen! My drain has to stay in till next Thursday :/ I do not like it at all and my doctor uses it for leak also and I have to drink green stuff and if I see any green it ive got a leak

oh honey I'm the same way this is gross and I'm surprised my family didn't throw me out but i finally took a bath today ! I'm not a 100% but I'm getting there slowly but surely its hard with the liquids to for me and I'm sorry but its been hard for me to take my pills cause your suppose to sip well I have tp take bigger then a sip or they get stuck and I get gagged ! I'm glad your doing better ! I'm thinking if we can get through these next couple of weeks its all down hill from there! I'm so sick of liquids and this is crazy but I'm ready to get onto the soft foods cause I want some mash potatoes so bad and I will make them healthy to I'm just have craved them don't know why

I have its been awful cause our swelling is going down ! I'm so ready to eat something its not even funny ! I'm starting to get better better every day little more fluids each day I'm just ready to eat and get this silly drain tube out of me! How are you?
