Thanks for the advice!!!! I do find my fiance attractive, im wonderin if i am over thinking my own body bc without clothes ugh i gross myself out but i see my own imperfections and they end up being my main focus. Ill try to work on it i guess i need to find my confidence in the bedroom again lol

Ok so I had my vsg on jan 29 i was 322 i am now 250 and I am hitting a wall. Its like my sex life is non existent. I feel more confident and sexy with my clothes on but I just do not hace any desire to Be intimate with my fiance. Its like my sex drive has been refocused on my running and eatting right. Any advice, does it ever level out? I feel bad that I dont satisfy him like ever anymore yet I used to be the one gearing up ready to go. So frusterated.

Best of luck!!!!!

I got ice chips later in the day but i was too doped out of my mind like 5 hours post op i was in alot of pain i have a difficult time w pain meds they dont work well if at all, so that night when i finally got up i felt better next morning and all that day i got water then third an final day i got crystal light yogurt and broth to choose from had some yogurt did fine with it

I have the same insurance the paper work was sent in round thanksgiving got it by my bday dec 21 had surgery jan 29 best of luck!

"Only five pounds" hunny you just had major surgery it isnt gonna happen over night. I know its hard to be patient, and you want to start the losing game but it will happen. We didnt all the weight over night so it wont come off over night. Your swollen and your body is healing give it a few weeks before you start weighting yourself for realz. I am 13 weeks post op started at 322 and as of today i am 250 70+ lbs down and i didnt really start losing til week 3-5. Just relax rest and sip sip sip

We need to find another word for it, I hate calling it a tool but people who know I have the surgery feel its just a magic cure. I was 322 begining of january of this year I am 250 today, i work out and run 3-5 days a week and struggle with the mental talk to keep myself motivated. Being called a tool simplifies what in actuallity is a huge life changer and possibly fatal. I am sorry for your loss hopefully we can find a word that suits our situation.

I am 14 werks post op started at 322 I am as pf today 251 down 73 pounds and my biggest nsv is wearing old navy clothes. I have never boughten anything from there bc I was tooo fat. Now I am a xl shirt and 20 pant ( loose now )

I believe honesty is the best policy, i work in a group whos pretty close so everyone was supportive. Yes they ask alot of questions and want to know what i eat and so forth. Just do what feels right, tell them or dont.

Dont worry get back in the game, 3-5 weeks down the road this will all be a distant memory. Alot of ppl think theyll never eat those yummy bad for u foods ever again. Well never say never key is moderation and the frequency. The only really bad for me food i really have is a skinny cowb choco bar during my tom i am 13 weeks out from vsg i go to the gym 3-5 days a week an run 3-4 days, down 73 pounds. Just remember dont over do it stick to the plan, its best in the end for pre op diet.

Hey I had the same thing, I had my vsg on jan 29,2013 I am down 70.8 pounds and mine is pretty much gone. I noticed at the first 30 pounds it going down hope that helps itll go away! No more humps for us!

My surgeon requires 2 weeks post op 1 month post op 2-3 month post op the. 6 months then 9 months then every year once a year til I die i dont mind great people at my bari unit. If its up to u then do whats right for you.

Woot super exciting! No more staples!

Susie you can do it my motto is learn from the mistake and move on. Your doing great by recognizing this and getting on track tomorrow, plus only one bad moment in 8 months holy amazing!!!! Tes I made it think I am gonna eat it and I dont care if I get sick the I bit into it and started thinking about tomorrows weight so I spit it out. Currently I am on and amazing losing phase an I do not want to stop now, I was stalled 2 months ago post op and the last month I have lost almost 20 pounds alone. I didnt want to give in knowing my luck that toast would sent me on a carb spiral. I dont eat any carbs anymore I get maybe 17 g of carbs from my protien bar but thats it. I had just finished t the gym with my run and really wanted bread to give me a boost. Ate a babybel cheese instead.

No problems you can do it, youll learn quickly whats allowed for your sleeve and not. Try new things veggies, marinades, cheeses yogurts. I am still having fun with those to keep things fresh and non repeatative! Youll do just fine keep posting and if you need any future advice you know where you can ask! Bestof luck

Im 12 weeks out i can eat roughly 3-5 oz depending on if its a dense protien or soft and my rule of thumb is 10 min per 2 oz. so about 20-30 min

Ok so hang in there the first few weeks suck second you need to have a serious convo with the wifey. She needs to understand that she doesnt have to like your choice but you chose this surgery to live a longer healthier life with her and her support is important. Thats just kinda mean.... Ask her i she could munch else where. Communication is important and telling her how you feel may help out. Best of luck, by the way this was not a mistake. It will change your life.

Sit down take 20 min to eat I used to set a timer on my phone. My satisfied feelin is a burp and my hollow feeling goes away.

My rules personally are 1) no soda or carbination ever!!!! 2) keep sugar low 3) keep protien at 60+ a day and keep carbs to less than half 4) cals under 700 a day I am 12 weeks post op and unfortunately i have a sleeve of steel meaning i can eat it all no problems, its not so mch as whats a no no its more of what will help you out the most. I made the commitment that if it doesnt follow the gram of protien per 10 cals I dont eat it, or if its not helping me out its a no go and i dont do carbs i have little to none. I am down 68 pounds in 12 weeks so im doing something right.

Well I am amazingly proud of myself I made a slice of white toast slathered cinnamon sugar butter on it smelt soooooo gooooood took a bite chewed it spit it out an threw out the slice. So happy to have self control now!

My best advice is to not be controlled by the scale I know it is difficult to want to lose lose lose but if you weight in the morning and youre up a few oz and your whole day is ruined thats no way to live. Only take to heart a scheduled weight day, don feel like a failure just look at your logs of food and excercise and ask these simple questions.1) did u get your water in 2) did u excercise at least 30 min 4-5 days that week 3) is it time to up the fitness to something more challenging 4) how are the carbs fats and sugars on your log ( keep carbs and fat to half your protien intake) 6) is something stressing you out? Resolve the issues bc stress will effect your weight loss! Hope this helps best of luck!

Ok for one DO NOT let anyone speak to you like that you are paying them they work for you second speak to whomever is in charge of the office and have this person held responsible if they are doing it to you who else are they doing it to. Its not right your not a child and have limitations you cannot control. Hope everything pans out alright and listen 25 pounds lost is better than 25 gained good job hun!

Ugh im 12 weeks out and im just so not in the mood like ever i have to really focus and pay attention to my fiance to even become remotely intrested just too tired from working out all the time having a two year old and just not being comfortable with my new self yet after 68 pound loss.

I have had this convo with my fiance bc i am sooooo self consious he said babe men dont see those flaw you women do if we love you then we dont see anything wrong with you! Im like awwww made me feel better its all in our heads honey. Have fun!
