vampsy

Was scheduled for v day but was postponed till next day on the 15th. I am 54 pounds down and have been at a stall for two weeks. I had some complications at first but I feel better now. Still getting used to all the changes.

I had a follow up appointment with my surgeon. So after my appointment, I drove to Walmart and stepped on every scale until the weight matched my surgeons office and bought that one. Silly, I know. But I got tired of so many different numbers.

Thanks guys!!! I was surprised how filling that was. I did not eat the entire tortilla but did eat about half of it. Everything settled pretty good and I'm still sipping on my ice tea. And with all your posts and support I now feel pretty good about my choice. It feels so good to be able to eat with others and feel part of a group

Thanks ladies. I guess next time I can order it no sauce. I was in such a panic that I couldn't think. As far as carbs go, yeah me too. I eat so little that I really don't count carbs either.

I am currently three months post op.

Boss just offered to buy McDonalds for lunch. I swear I started having an anxiety attack as the paper went around to write down your order. I had no idea what to write. So I ordered a grilled chicken snack wrap and an iced tea no sugar. Please tell me I made a good choice. I need to be prepared for next time. I never thought of going to McDonalds again but here I am in a situation where if I say no thank you my boss takes it personal. Advice please

I just sent you a request on fb. I'll add you. My name is Renee Reyes

Ok, I just got home from the surgical center for my endoscopy. They found a kink in my stomach that's causing me to be sick. I have to wait for the final report to get to my Dr so he can decide what he wants to do. But the Dr today said he thinks the only way to correct this is by gastric bypass surgery. He said that when food hits they kink, it immediately comes back up. And thinner liquids like water causes the acid reflux. this is why I'm only tolerating yogurt, shakes, and soup. I am to continue with my ppi twice a day and to continue trying to get my protein shakes in... Yuck. But until we decide what's next I'm still on a full liquid diet. Nothing more.

ok... Here it goes... I just really need to vent. Having major regrets. I know I may get bashed for this. But it's ok. I have no where else to vent. It may all be sunshine and rainbows for everybody else, but for me, it's been hell. At nine weeks out, I still can't tolerate solid food. I'm upset and jealous that I can't eat. I'm sick of protein shakes, soup, and yogurt. Yes, I have lost weight but who wouldn't on a liquid diet for this long along with vomiting??? Now I'm going in tomorrow for another endoscopy to find out what the issue is. My Dr is very concerned but I'm ready to give up. I am hating life. I so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I honestly wish I could rewind time and get my tummy back.

Same here. I ended up unliking because my husband sitting next me said ”hey, you like sleeved 2012”. I was like what!!! Nevermind... Unlike

I just got a coupon for this. Has anyone tried it??? It looks like juice and comes in different flavors. But I don't want to buy it if it's not worth it. Let me know.

Im sorry, I know this isnt answering your question but, your bmi is only 30??? Wow! I would love for my bmi to be 30. But lets see if I can help. I think if you're following your diet, you'll be ok. Don't get discouraged. We all went and go through ups and downs on the scale. Just keep doing what you're doing. You'll be fine.

Has anyone tried the Kelloggs Special K protein water??? I like the idea of having the powder packets in my bag whenever I'm out and about. Any takes on the taste??? I know 5g of protein isn't much but plain water has zero so I figured any little bit counts and it has fiber so I thought maybe.

Sleeved 2/15!!! Hey there!

Lol... No, not inhaling. Just bite, chew, swallow. And not having it take me an hour to finish half a scrambled egg.

Will I have to chew till its mushy forever??? It trends to gross me out. It takes forever to eat anything. I take itty bitty bites, chew chew chew till there's nothing to chew anymore, than I have to wait about two minutes and hope it stays down. Will I eat like this forever or will I ever take normal bites like I used to???

He thinks it may be. I have many of the symptoms. But what does he mean they may have to stretch it??? In my case their is no eating too much or too fast. It just always happens. I constantly have a foamy feeling in my tummy. And even the smallest amount of anything comes right up.

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! Just came from doctors and here's what happened. Explained the vomiting and the foamy gassy feeling. He upped my antacid and hopes it helps. But says at this point I should be tolerating much more than I am. So he seriously thinks my sleeve is too narrow. Sending me for an endoscopy and states we may need to ”stretch” it. What does this mean????

No, unfortunately I have not gone. I keep telling myself to go. He also tried discouraging me on getting sleeved. I have an appointment on Monday. Cant wait for him to see my 32 lb loss in 6 weeks... Bwahahahaha!!!

Hey catracks!!! I think we have the same surgeon

agree with Lissa 100%. I struggled so much with keeping anything down for my first few weeks. You will hear over and over again to stay hydrated. LISTEN. This will help you heal faster. Walking and moving around. Dont get discouraged. Eventually it will get better. I was feeling like no one understood and the people here supported me and guided me. They know what they are saying. The most important thing I was told was even if I couldnt take in my protein, was to drink my water and take my vitamins. I could only drink 20oz of water a day but that got better with time. Im six weeks out now and still struggle but it is getting better. Dont be hard on yourself. When I couldnt keep things down, I started over with clear liquids until I was able to try again. Good Luck!!!

ok, so it was old blood. Possibly the scabbing from the inside of my tummy from the incision. That was scary. Thanks all for the concern. I did call and describe what it was and this is what i was told. But was also told if it happened again to call and it hasnt.
