Piplula got a reaction from Jonsie27 in Skinny Women Are Evil
Here here...discrimination in any form is discrimination and very wrong to do! Couldn't have said it better!

Ok I will agree to your point. My point is to treat that person as equally, verbally nasty since that seemed to be her M.O. An eye for an eye I guess!
Also, I want to make a while different point because its a pet peeve of mine....nothing against you of course. To me, the definition of "reverse discrimination" means "the opposite of discrimination" which means no discrimination occurred. The media has perpetuated this phrase. If you discriminate against someone whether its fat on fat, fat on skinny, or skinny on fat...it's discrimination. Where the heck the word " reverse" was incorrectly added to create this asinine phrase is beyond me. I hate the media continues to utilize this phrase as proper. Ok I will get off my grammar box now...

I would definitely ask them to change your meds. How many meds have you been on?? The reason I ask is because I suffered with clinical depression and had to try several different meds before I found what worked for me..you need to go back and talk to your care provider and if nothing changes after you have talked to your provider..find someone else! Please keep us updated..I will be thinking and praying for you!

Honestly.. We won't ever be "normal" again. It does get better. I really enjoy EAS CarbAdvatage Protein Shakes. Have you tried those? 17g of Protein for 2 net carbs. It isn't thick and goes down easily and is pretty tasty. The only flavor I don't tolerate in this brand is dark chocolate everything else is very good, convienent, and decently priced. I find them at my local Wal-mart in the pharmacy section. I also found them in an out of state Wal-mart when I went on vacation, so I feel probably, most Wal-Marts carry this product. Also, I was unable to choke down any baritric chewable garbage provided on the market which was a complete waste of my money. My dietitian recommended that I try Flintstones Complete chewables. It's been fine ever since. I take two per day and you will find that it is comparable or even better in the amount you get of nutrients when compared to regular vitamins..and I don't vomit these. The tiredness gets better. You are only 4 weeks out. Your body needs time to heal. It took me 8 weeks before I totally healed and pain free. I'm still not able to normal portions but I take my time and make sure I get in my EAS shakes. As far as heartburn goes.. I had GERD before surgery and I had it worse after I I take 20 mg of prescription Prevacid daily...this has helped a lot! Talk to your doctor about taking a acid reducer. This may help with the incessant feeling to vomit. It did me. If you need to chat, you are welcome to pm me. Good luck on your journey!

Piplula got a reaction from NtvTxn in Do you ever..
Not recognize yourself? This may sound paranoid and honestly at the time it was, but here it is. I was shopping and kept noticing this person's reflection in windows and the occasional mirror out of the corner of my eye. And finally I thought myself..well I have had enough of this follow me so I whipped around and guess who was there..the reflection of myself . So I had been all freaked out because apparently I was following myself ..didn't even recognized own image...weird I know..but now when people don't recognize I get it. So remember..if you think someone is following you, just turn around it probably is your own shadow! LoL

Piplula got a reaction from ElliottWasHere in Heartburn?
I had GERD prior to surgery and it was 10,000 x worse after. But I take my PPI, acid reducer everyday and I am fine. I take Dexilant everyday and know if I skip it! But I would not every change the fact I had the sleeve.

Piplula got a reaction from vinana in My 1 year surgery anniversary is today!
So hello VST peeps! Today is the day! I can honestly say the sleeve gave me my life back. It's been a heck of a journey. I am not at my ultimate goal of 200# down, but so far I have lost 145#...so just a few more steps and I will get there. I also encourage everyone to take measurements from beginning to end because I am happy to report I have lost a total of 48.5 inches from all over my body...wild huh? I wanted to share a pictorial journey with you . So here we go!
Me 12 hours before surgery
Me 6 months post op
Me at 9 months out
And me today right before my workout
So that's my story ..it's still a work in progress but with hard work, dedication, and diligence, it's becoming, finally, a reality!
