I am very bad at exerciseing! Thats one thing I need to make a everyday thing, I will do it a few times, then go weeks without doing any (I know, horrible). I kinda figured once I lost a good amount I would want to and enjoy it, I think Im going to check out a few gyms, I have been thinking about the community center near my house, I hear they have a decent gym, plus I would be walking there which would be a plus lol. Thanks for the comment though, I just felt so overwhelmed today, we just need to take it one day at a time.

Welcome to the site, I love it here, everyone is very nice and have great advice!

Well Im 7 months out, and this whole month I have lost maybe 2-3 pounds but I keep on losing the three it and gaining it back, I have no idea whats going on! I have had my slip-ups with eating, but for the most part I eat good. I still struggle to get in all the water I need to, Im not sure if that has something to do with it or not? I havent been tracking my food intake religiously, but from now on I will be. My calorie goals will be 700 calories a day, as low carb as I can be, and at least 80 grams of protein a day. I know when you get further out you lose slower, but no way I should be losing this slow, I still have about 80 something pounds I need to lose. I just hope that this week I will see a loss after tracking everything.

I went to a concert the week after I had surgery, but it was indoors at a club, I made sure I took my pain medicine before I left and brought Protein packs for Water incase I wanted some, I just ended up drinking a lot of water (I wasnt there for the whole show, I only wanted to see one preformer and he did about a hour and a half set). I guess you will just have to wait and see how you feel, I would be very careful since it will be so hot out because it is very important that soon out to have a lot of fluids so you dont get dehydrated.

That's weird you mention this I thought I was the only one, usually about a week before my period I get back pain, I would sometimes get a little Pre-OP but this time around its so painful! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I said he had VSG.

Only one night for me. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Sounds great, I was looking for a meat loaf recipe for ground turkey, I think I'll try this out later this week.

Okay thanks! I made some when I was on the mushy stage but I made a huge batch, Id rather make a little batch this time in single servings.

I have no advice, but I wish you the best of luck and hope they can figure out a solution.

Did they come out alright in the muffin/cupcake pan? I was thinking of doing it the same way but wasnt sure if I would need to put cupcake liners in.

I only know of one famous person who has the sleeve and that is rapper Paul Wall. I actually got a picture with him a few years back at his concert, it was before either of us had VSG, I need to get a recent one of the both of us lol!

Gosh I hate when people say stupid things! My sister kept on telling me I will end up looking older, and she said everyone she seen who has had WLS gets horrible "mouth lines" I just ignore her.

Its pretty uncomfortable because you have all these wires and can only move so much, I did bring pillows from home which was nice. The first one I felt like I just laid in bed all night, the lady said I feel asleep for a couple hours (I think they only need a hour of straight sleep for the results) for the second one I decided to not sleep the day before so I could actually sleep lol, and when it came time to sleep I think I was sleeping in about a hour lol. The lady said it was most likely because of the mask, its really weird and first but once you get used to it its not to bad. I will be honest and say I didnt wear it to much at home, I should have because it really does help a lot with helping you sleep, when I did wear it I would be in the same position when I woke up in the morning, I would usually toss and turn all night, I would wake up without a headache and actually feel more energized. I have no idea if I still have sleep apnea, I no longer have insurance and had to return the machine back in December. It would be kinda cool to take another test and see how much my breathing has changed since losig 100lbs+. I might still have the papers laying around but I think it said I stop breathing like 5 times per minute.

I know how you feel, I didnt know I was as big as I was until I went into my first consult. My heighest was 360, but you gotta look at it as this will be the biggest you will ever be, you will be losing weight and wont ever be that heavy again. They sleep study sucked, but I found out I did have sleep apnea, it was crazy because I never thought I did, I didnt wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air or anything, they made me take another one wearing the mask, and my insurance gave me one at the time to wear, Im not sure if it is gone none but I feel I sleep better are rarely wake up with horrible headaches like I use to.

You look amazing, love your curves, congrats!!

I didnt have one, so I cant speak on that. If hes a good surgeon and has a good price shouldnt that be all that matters, not whether you have to have a drain or not? Just saying I wouldnt base my choice on that, but thats me.

Is it something you will have to do for the rest of your life? Or once you have so many it basicly gets rid of the hair?

I am 7 months out and I eat 3oz of food

Double post, sorry Sent from my iPhone using VST

Im surprised you aren't feeling restriction, usually when people are on the liquid stage they don't feel any because it goes right through, I would definantly call my doctor in the morning, 4 eggs is a lot, your stomach is still healing and you dont want to cause a leak.

From what I have read once the hair has come in it will stay, it might become finner or grow slower but it will stay. I have a lot and its so annoying, I feel like I have to tweeze everyday! The dark Patches of skin has become lighter, on my neck it is almost gone, but in some other areas its still there, I hope that when I get around goal it will be gone. I was thinking of getting laser treatment around Christmas, I dont have the money at the moment, I would just be so happy to get rid of the hair on the chin area it bothers me the most, it makes me feel like a man, I could deal with the upper lip hair because that area is smaller and not as much. ETA- I would like to hear how the Yasmin works, keep us updated!

Just curious, Is vomiting any different after having VSG? I haven't thrown up since before surgery and always wondered. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I haven't read the whole thread but this sounds like someone trying to stir up some drama. Sent from my iPhone using VST
