PEvette

I'm in Houston, Texas....4 almost 5 months post op....I finally feel like dating again after a 3 year hiatis from it....mainly because of school, and I'm still in grad school for another 1.5 years, so I'll have to find someone who is understanding of the fact that I dream that I am working to make into a reality... And to answer everyone's question, yes I had surgery while in school....didnt take not one day off....I churned right on through....reading my books on my kindle while hooked to a pain pump, my doc wanted me to relax, and I told him "I'm on a mission, cant relax now" he just said either I relax or my body will make it.....and he was right, my body made me...but I still got my work done....lol

...

I equate cravings with head hunger....if you occupy yourself with something when it starts you are less likely to give in.... I wanted cheetos last week and bought a bag and poured out 1oz of them....I think I made it to 1/2 oz of them before I got sick.... Lesson: I will not touch another cheeto anytime soon! The same thing happened when I decided to eat a Jason's deli big chocolate chip cookie....it made me dump...I will not be touching another cookie anytime soon and dont mention cupcakes, cant stand the sight of them

wow you are awesome!! I know you have to feel great! Welcome aboard!

call the doctor, the same thing happened to me....and mine gave me some muscle relaxers and it made the world right again!

Yes, there are lots of groups on Facebook for VSG....but most of them are secret, so you have to search for them and ask for permission to join

you can add me if you like just put that your are from VSGTalk....askbelieverecieve

You need to remember why you are doing this...skinny or not...what is the reason for you going through with this procedure?? Is this procedure for you or for him? You need to be more secure in yourself sweetie....if he decides to leave once you lose weight, that's his business....dont let that affect him....

congrats to you...you need to do a collage

No it's very uncomfortable if I over eat

I'm 3.5 months post op and I can hold about 3/4 of a cup of food....but I am revision with a small dilated pouch at the top of my sleeve, which allows me to eat a tiny bit more than the typical sleeved person

my surgery was all in one...

I'm a revisioner....had my surgery in June...take it one day at a time and remember your goal!! You can and will do it!!!

my doctor used the glue to stitch me up...I was fine with it....its what you prefer

for some (like me) it goes away, but when you have no food in you, your tummy feels "empty" for others they still feel hunger....all depends on your body...

I am a revision patient....and I took a good long time researching doctors to do my revision just for that reason, the high complication rate....I finally decided on my doctor and when I told him how I vetted him, he was impressed, he said I knew more about him than most of his patients....after our first meeting, I prayed prayed prayed for God to guide his hands during the procedure....I also was very strict on myself during the liquid diet he had me on (did it for 3 weeks instead of the 2 he wanted me to do it) I am determined to be a success...I am very happy with my progress so far...

It was a stupid one, get off this board and get a life

Welcome, congrats

Just love reading the responses to that ignorant comment made by her....kept it informational and classy... well done ladies...

I try to stay under 40...if I go over 40, I will workout that day so I can have more carbs....carbs are okay....as long as you eat complex carbs...not simple sugars....

As the months progress, the swelling in your stomach will go down and the muscle will stretch some....I've heard people as far as 1 to 3 years post op say they can eat as much as a cup at a time now...
