    Miss Joy Of Eating?

    It is normal. I did the same thing my first week. 3months 3 weeks out I no longer obsese over food. I eat to make my body function. Other wise I would not eat. I went from 261 to 210 and I don't regret it one bit.
  3. I was sleeved April 10th. Starting weight 261 and now 210. I work at a doctors office and everyone knows about my surg. Since I am the practice administer I don't get rude comments to my face, but I am sure the fat jokes exist. Don't really care. I love the new me and I love the fact that I can live a longer active healthy life for my husband and children. Work it just that "work". I don't tend to have personal relationships with the staff and they are clear on that issue. Sadly the only person in my family that knows is my husband and sister. I did not tell the kids because I did not want to worry them. They have noticed the wieght loss and also commented on me being more active. You do what make u happy and that is what matters the most.

    Dr Kim And Forest Park Medical Center

    I also used Dr.Kim. I was sleeved on April 10th. My starting weight was 261 and 3month 2 weeks later I am 211. Weight loss of 50 lbs. I was Dr.Kims first patient of the day. Got to hospital and was wheeled back before 5am. I too over packed and used only tooth brush, fresh panties, socks, lip balm and my cell and charger. I could have guest. My husband and children both came but I was in no mood to visit. I was nauseous and dizzy I did not do anything but sleep. I had zero gas pains. Only pain I had was being dizzy and nauseous. I hardly even walked cause I could not keep my balance. I stayed my full two days because I was to sick to go home. They give you nothing but clear liquids and they stated horrible. You are asked to sip several shots per hour and log it. I of course did nothing and sipped nothing. I was just to sick to hold my head up. I was pumped full of liquids through the iv but I still when home dehydrated. I ended up taking two weeks off instead of the one week. I again forced myself to drink liquids because being dehydrated was causing the dizziness, headaches, nausea and fatigue. If it was not for the advise of dooter I would have never figure out you got to sip sip sip or ur recovery will be horrible. Three months two weeks out I don't regret it one bit. Good luck.

    Where Are My April 2012 Sleevers?

    Sleeved April 10th and I am down 48 pounds. Also notice hair is falling out more. I am once again in a stall.
  8. I did not cheat. I was self pay and scared to death he would open me up and not complete the surg. Can't afford the risk.

    Dr. Kim

    I was self pay no nut doctor. The nutrition session was a group session for me. Just watch a video and sampled pre- op shakes and of course asked questions. Pam is her name and she was nice but in a group session some people just ask the stupidest things. Also she shows u an example of the sleeve size and you get to feel what the staples feel like. Good experience for me. The nut part is helpful and I did not understand that until after surgery....I could have used a couple of nut sessions to get me prepared for the first month. I stared off into space with a blank stare for at least two weeks. Good luck to u!

    "so How Much Weight Have You Lost?" Rant

    Same for me. My sister would tell people "she had fat people survey" and only lost 30 pounds. I am thinking OMG it has been a month!!!! Now three months today I am down 44 pounds and she is finally speechless.
