    sheila5497 got a reaction from Tameka in Any VSG people in Hampton Roads?   
    My nicotine test was blood. Most everything that is tested is tested by blood. Blood is more accurate, urine is used mostly for glucose, ketones, and Protein. I'm 18 weeks post op and just now starting to tell when I'm getting full instead of all of a sudden feeling really sick because I ate too much. Oh what a difference one bite can make. I've lost 80 lbs and average about 3lbs a week. Keep up the good work girls. The loss will come. Next thing you know, you will be looking at that little red dress thinking "wow, I can really buy this now".

    I had my surgery April 23rd of this year. So farive lost 80 lbs and I can now eat pretty much anything however only in small portions. But what I don't eat I put away and eat later. Down to a loose size 14 and Large shirt. I would not change anything and do not regret doing the surgery at all.

    Well, tomorrow is my birthday and yesterday I have officially lost 60 pounds. I weigh 182 and wear a
    Loose 16 pant and XL shirt. I have been an inspiration to some of my coworkers and now get picked on due to my extremely healthy eating habits (junk foods literally make me fell sick to my stomach for an hour or so and quite frankly not worth the hassle). I have been slacking on the excersize as well due to the extremely hot temperatures here in Virginia. Think I will go and get a membership to my employers gym. My snack foods consist of Colby jack cheese slices, cucumber slices, seedless green grapes, Strawberries, and cottage cheese. I'm loving life a do not regret my dicision to have the surgery one bit. Eating healthy is really not that difficult anymore and I get full and satisfied faster and stay that way longer. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their weight loss and summer as well.

    My nutritionist says I should be off all Protein supplements by six months. I am already off them. Just can't take the taste and texture. I am going to make Protein powder ice cream on Thursday or Friday though.

    Your bowel movements are normal for post op. I am 2 weeks post op and still have the watery/sawdust like poops. My dr. Said that until I start eating more solid I would have those types of stools. And fair warning don't trust your farts until you get a better idea of the pooping pattern.

    I did more burping than farting, truthfully. I have heard that you should never trust that a fart will be "only" a fart, so keep that in mind.
