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.

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.

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

I have never had either happen, I have though twice when I ate to fast had a pain in the middle of my chest for about 20mins Sent from my iPhone using VST

Yeah I still am surprised at how much I use to eat lol. The other night I went out to Outback for dinner, I ordered grilled chicken with the mixed veggies and I made 3 meals out of that! Normally I would have ate a ton of the bread, a little bit of a appetizer, a side salad, then all of my dinner! I felt the same way you did before surgery, I couldnt imagine being satisfied off so little, I am so thankful that I was able to have this surgery.

Im pretty boring with the things I eat, I usually eat: meats (Chicken, Beef, Tuna) cheese, Plain greek yogurt (I flavor with splenda and usually flavored SF syrups, or with some fresh fruit) Protein drinks, Veggies, Nuts, Low carb wraps/crackers (Not a everyday thing) eggs (I love them and there are so many ways to prepare them!) I pretty much try my best to eat low-carb, I have tried regular bread and things like that but it leads me to crave more and eat bad things. Omg I love Subway too! Thats one thing I miss so much lol.. I have seen people say they eat there, but when they do they get the flat bread and load it with veggies and meats. I wanna wait till Im a little closer to goal weight to try it out. It will be nice this time around making a 6 inch last a few meals, compared to before me eating a whole 12inch at one setting (Very embarrassing but I have before )

Thats so awesome, congrats!!

Whoops damn phone, sorry I asked the same question twice, not sure how to delete this

Oh wow that's not bad at all! What brand do you use? Sent from my iPhone using VST
