My dr said it was ok to take ibuprofen as long as I'm taking my zegerid for acid he said it should be fine but of course not to take it on a daily basis but that's for anyone !!! FYI I'm 3 wks post op

OMB I've never had constipation issues I had been losing 1-2 lbs daily and the past couple of days I haven't gone and haven't lost any weight ever since I've been getting my protein in I haven't been able to go its driving me crazy and making me think I can't lose anymore weight but I'm only drinking two protein shakes a day and the rest clear liquids and broth WTF this is making me really frustrated HELPPP!!!!!!!!

So things are going well but I find myself wanting to be thin like next week. I am pleased with the progress but I want the instant gratification the fairy tale wake up thin and sexy. I know what's not realistic but when I look in the mirror I just want to see a huge change I guess im just venting but does anyone else do this? I know I have a long way to go and im hitting the gym doing my calories and Water and loving the new me just wish I could blink and be at my goal weight

If you have an iPhone there's a Nike training app that gives you 30 minute workouts on target areas it's really cool I'm sure any other smart phone has it as well

So crazy that y'all posted this cause I'm also a night nurse that recently returned to work last night I felt hungry more often but then again I'm not able to sit down and eat a meal so I'm constantly picking at my lunch throughout the whole shift and trying to get enough calories in cause I know how much I need them especially cause I'm constantly going for 12 hours . The dr said at my two week follow up that when your not getting enough fluids that your body will retain fluid so im sure that's why we tend to retain water cause we probably aren't getting enough fluids in cause I know as hard as I work even though I think I'm getting a sufficient amount of fluids as hard as we work we need double the amount that we usually get which is obviously easier said than done !!! I know that was a huge run on sentence but oh well haha :-) oh yeah and happy nurses week to my fellow nurses !!!

Thanks she actually posted a similar thread !!!!

You look amazing congrats can't wait to be in your shoes

Hi,
3 years and 7 months ago I had weight loss surgery--sleeve. I was so scared that I would gain the weight back--because in the past I always seemed to gain it back. I learned by making a lifestyle change and eating healthy and including exercise that I do keep the weight off. :wub:
I have started to exercise more lately, because I feel so much better when I do exercise. I have learned that those of us that exercise love all kinds of exercise. For me walking has worked. I am 66 and it is something that is easy to do. I purchased something that allows to to track how far I am walking each day. I purchased a NIKEPlus and it comes with a chip that you put in your NIKE shoe--NO you do not feel the chip at all. It is amazing because when I get home from my walk, I plug the NIKEPLUS in the USB port on my computer and it records everything about my walk that Ijust did. It tells me how fast I walked, the calories I burned and how far I walked, what my pace was. What an amazing little device. It only works with NIKE shoes. It was worth the $59.00 I paid for it. It also allows you to set goals for yourself. Today I walked 4.55 miles. I have walked for the last 10 days in a row--even the rain.
My point is make the lifestyle change, eat healthy. Do I ever have a desert--sure I do, but only in small amounts and NOT everyday. I have learned to cook differently and healthy too. I love cooking now. If you make the lifestyle change from the very beginning, then it just makes it that much easier to do for the rest of your life.
Hugs,
Suzanne

I'll never forget the day I learned about VSG and came on this forum to research it. Now, nearly 8 months to the day from my surgery - I hit my final goal!!! 140 pounds!!! That's nearly 100 lbs. down from my highest weight of 238. It feels great to see that number on the scale, but even better to know that I will never, ever, be fat again!
The first thing I wanted to do when I saw that I hit goal was to get on here and tell all of you. Thank you, everyone, for giving me a place to share in my joy (and for being there when I wasn't as joyous).

Get it girl you look amazing !! Can't wait to be there

Had my surgery this morning @ about 9 when I woke up in the recovery room I was in horrible pain was given some pain meds and it alleviated my pain once I got to the floor I've been on a PCA pump and my pain is tolerable now trying not to use it alot so I can walk and get this gas out so I'll walk come back get some pain meds sleep then do it all over again . I've had a little nausea but only when I finish my walks other than that so far so good
