    One month VSG surgiversary and lost 27 pounds total- pretty happy!!!

    I'm in the same boat. I've lost 27 pounds and can't tell a difference because I was still wearing my size 16 jeans since pre op. Friends/family/coworkers have mentioned I lost weight as my face and tummy is smaller but for me I don't see it and didn't understand because I still wore my 16 size jeans. I went to my grandma's with my mom and realized my jeans were loose and constantly had to pull them up. Went home and tried on size 14 jeans that my cousin gave me and they FIT! It's comfy and I am in awe that I actually fit in them! I think you should try on a size smaller pair of pants/jeans and it probably will fit. Keep doing what your doing cause it's workin! GL

    Help :(

    Shells replied to Shelly-NO-Belly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Definately hit the 3 week stall hon-same thing with me. Don't panic your doing great! It'll pass, focus on staying hydrated and eat your three meals, work out and your stall will pass. GL

    I had the hernia repair done during sleeve and only used the drip pain med at the hospital after my walks. 2 days later I was home and didn't take any more pain medication because of fear of constipation from tylenol w/ codeine. I wish you a speedy recovery and keep drinking fluids! GL

    1/25/2012 tomorrow is one month post op and 27 pounds gone forever!

    I'll be 4 weeks on Weds and I lost 27 pounds and I understand what you're going through. I think our bodies are trying to adapt and we have to make sure to follow what we eat and work out and the stalls will pass. I think you're doing great and I'm sure we'll be losing more soon enough

    Chewable Vitamins Vs. Liquid

    Shells replied to cherrytree15's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements

    I took centrum liquid vitamins the first 2 weeks after surgery. Tasted awful but I did what I had to do lol. Now I'm on Rainbow Light Prenatel Vitamins from whole foods.

    Cold and lower blood pressure (which is bad cause I already have slightly low BP) here too! Still don't miss the pounds lol and canNOT wait till summer

    Tips- keep drinking Water, keeps you hydrated and flushes out toxins, keep up with Protein shakes, walk till your tired and remember- one pound gone is still gone from your body. I check every Wednesday after the bathroom and I take what I can get- it keeps me from going crazy lol GL!

    I've Been Bad

    Shells replied to peacequeen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    This is what I wrote when I feel like eating like crazy for no reason: Think of why you feel the need to graze on sweets and feel stuffed from eating. Walk away and just think why do you want to do this after your surgery. You've already been through SO much and yet you're the only one holding yourself back. Feeling fat and ugly and guilty is...sad and pathetic. I felt that way and still ate because I felt like I didn't care anymore and in turn I'm saying I didn't care about me anymore. That's NOT ok. I acknowlegde every pound I put on and do not want it back!!! You're back on the wagon and you're doing great! You got this!

    I got 4 weeks off thankfully! I got back on the 27th and not really looking forward to it. I'm on my feet and constantly moving so I'll be starting slow.

    Man, my family brought chocolate covered strawberries and different assorted cheesecakes! It's hard but it's not impossible. I can open the tray, smell it- the sugar, fake chocolate and preservatives- and close it and eat a slice of turkey deli and feel fine. NSV!!!!!!! Happy Vday!

  20. Shells
    I was wondering the same thing, tomorrow I'll be three weeks out and I'm content with walking until I'm tired. In March I'll be going back to the gym and do cardio and weight training.

    Yoga

    Shells replied to Itsanewdaycassandra's topic in Fitness & Exercise

    I SOO want to do yoga but everytime I try I feel lightheaded and dizzy. I have hypotension, always low blood pressure so bending down and blood flowing all over the body makes me wanna lie down and sleep. Hoping I can do yoga because it seems so stress free :sad_smile:

    Happy Valentine's Day

I can open the tray, smell it- the sugar, fake chocolate and preservatives- and close it and eat a slice of turkey deli and feel fine. NSV!!!!!!! Oh yeah! Before the sleeve ALL of that food would have been "missing" around 11 am. I'm just saying. OH and it's my favorite cousin's birthday who I love like the sister I always wanted Happy Valentine's Day :wub: :heart: :grouphug:
  24. Shells
    Hey sleeve sister my kaiser book it said less than 10 grams per serving. I don't follow that yet because we eat so little now I know I'm getting less than 10 grams of fat per meal but will focus after my one month surgiversary.
