    Wife Sleeved 8/9

    good luck on both of your journeys!

    Newbie...introduction....

    You can if I can.... I was a boredom eater... if got bored, I ate. If money is or was tight, and I had nothing to do or no where to go i ate. I ate myself to 470lbs. Got diabetes, high blood pressure and a host of other issues... My sleeve has changed that in my personality. I no longer revert to eating everytime I am bored. I have found, that at night when I would usually have that last snack right before bedtime some times I find myself staring into the refrigerator for no reason at all. I can't possibly eat another bite but my head is telling me this is where I am supposed to be, now! It is truly bizarre..? So hang in there get your sleeve and work the post surgery diet. Don't expect to lose weight every day or even every week. It took you a while to put it on and its gonna take a while to take it off. It will come off! I promise you it will, if you stick to your post op procedures... Good luck!

    Hunger

    As you diet changes back to normal foods you hunger might decrease alot more. Bide your time untill you make back to regular foods. Remember liquids and pureed foods will ease through you sleeve faster than whole foods will... Good luck...!

    Got My Gastric Sleeve Surgery Date

    You'll be fine, I dont know about other experiences here but I had my gall bladder removed 5 years ago and this surgery was a breeze compared to that. I wish you all the success i have had.... good luck!

    Ok man to man Question here

    Nope! apply topically on a clean wash rag directly to the affected area and it will magically start to shrink the offending tissue. I found this on the internet did a search for hemroids and home cures... It worked in 3 days VS the 15 I used tucks and preperation "H" ..... Some people do also drink it but I did not. Every morning when I got up i applied it and every evening when I showered I applied it... There is some study about Candidia causing Roids or infalming roids and the acidity of the Vinegar irradicates it from the affected area..! Good luck! And may I say from your picture, You do not at all look like a "BLOKE"

    venting

    I think you should make her put her money where her mouth is and up the bet to $1000.00 and see how serious she is...I would be willing to bet she wont make that bet because, she is not sure about it.. iIknow I woud be willing to bet I never regain my weight. I am only 8 weeks out but, I can not eat 1/4 of what i was eating and i had already lost about 100 lbs in 2 years.... This last 140 is where the problem lies. I have always been able to lose 100 lbs but i have never been able to get past that mark or keep it off. I dont think i can eat enough now to sustain more than 240 lbs....even with my turtle slow metabolism.... Good luck!

    What are you enjoying most?

    Knowing I'll be alive to see my grandchildren grow up (barring an accident) Walking without as much pain Bending at the waist Buying clothes because i have lost weight and not gained it... And yes SEX! in your forties is better than when I was a teenager... feeling strong again, being able to work like your going to accomplish something instead of feeling like you'll never get done..

    embarrassing but i need help

    you do know the warts are likley all inside of the Vaginal canal also? right not just on the outside labia?
  14. Diesel, I my names Jim I too had alot of what your feeling before being on soft foods... Relax and let it pass.... Remember you are only eating liquids, try sugarfree popsicles to soothe you between meals or blended canned peaches & pears with cottage cheese.... It helped alot just blend them with some fruit juice no sugar added untill they are as smoothe as you need them.... I did this until i was able to eat soft foods. I still lost 16 lbs before I went back to work 5 days after released from hospital...
  15. Try Isopure from GNC clear koolaid like protein drink, if you cant stand the taste try mixing it with no sugar added fruit juice and MIO drink enhancer...

    FIRST POST TO START THING OFF..

    I am glad you posted I have been waiting for other arkansans to post. I know their out there....
  17. use the regular soy milk for Protein to thin them with. Are you really allowed to progress onto soft foods on day 11? Most people are told to wait until 2 weeks to start pureed or soft foods...? if you are then start slowly with very thin foods then as you get used to it make them a little thicker and so forth and so on......

    MIO...

    Love it drink atleast a full bottle a week or more.....
  19. razrbakcrzy

    Am I bad?

    My Dr. said anything that I could suck through a straw was legal for me to have during full liquids. I was blending vegtable beef soup, chili, and anthing else that i could make into a smooth liquid day 6 - 2 weeks, then thick pureed food from week 2 - week 4, then whole soft foods week 4 - day 50, now onto full foods.... you did nothing wrong!
  20. razrbakcrzy

    Protein packed pureed lentil soup

    instead of using water or cows milk to thin, try using soy milk for the extra protein push....

    Plain Greek Yogurt ~ what can I do with it??

    chicken Tika - Yogurt mixed with curry seasoning coat small bite size pieces of skewered chicken then grill on your outdoor grill..... Mmmmm!
  22. razrbakcrzy

    unflavored protein

    try Isopure from GNC it's clear and thin like Water but still has 40 grams of protien in each bottle. If the taste is not what you like try mixing with no sugar added fruit juice and a shot or 2 of MIO Water Enhancer. I personally liked the green flavor the best i think it was watermelon or apple not sure... I mixed it with juice from wal-mart with a shot of strawberry/watermelon MIO, this was the easiest way for me to get it all down in on day......Good luck
  23. You can be vague or general, or a combination of both. You can answer each individual question or put in paragraph form – I'm fine either way - I don't want to take too much of your time. Thank you again! What type of surgery did you have? What was the reason you had the surgery? What was your chief complaint that resulted in the surgery? How long were you suffering from the chief complaint? Was the surgery elective or medically necessary? What treatments or diagnostic tests were done prior to surgery? Were there any preoperative instructions? Were there any preoperative issues or complaints? What was the outcome of the surgery? Was there a post operative visit? If so, how long post op? Were there any post operative complications? Was there any additional follow-up that has or will take place? Jim Boston 43 years old Males Married 3 children Grown Computer Aided Draftsman 1.

    Alcohol? Carbonated bevs?

    There is never a 100% no to any food but carbonated beverages seems to be very hard to tolerate because of the bloated feeling after drinking them... this goes for beer also, you should be able to have alcohol if you want i dont see why not?
