Sliming, nauseous after vitamins
vsginnj replied to cataro's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I struggled a bit with bariatric advantag chewables and have spoken with others who have the same experience. If you continue feeling bad consider switching vitamins see if that helps. Of course check with your nut/doc. I use source of life adult chewable and split the dose am/pm. Just did my 1 year blood they were " remarkable" hope that helps! Happy new year !!! -

Thanks frank I'm guilty, I was sleeved 12/7/11 my surgery and recovery were uneventful, I cant tell you how many times I have composed a reply to a thread only to cancel it, for fear of it being Misinterpreted. The negativity abounds here. I was 333 day of surgery lost Appx 90 in first 90 days, yesterday my weight was 179 that's 154 in 13 months,THIS SURGERY WORKS !!! I sometimes do get hungry now but mostly after heavy gym times . For a strange twist for the first time in my life my new years resolution is to gain 20 and stay under 10 BMi I'm thinking 5 on each shoulder and 10 through the chest and back!! The usual is no longer a #3 super sized but 8 miles on crosstrainer and some time in the weight room. What a difference a "committed" year can make ! Good luck and god bless you and your family this new year!! -
Miso soup ... Changed my life !! Who knew it came in so many favors ! Hang in there it gets better. Also unjury makes chicken soup flavored protein that was huge help getting protein in anything colder than room temp hurt my sleeve for several months.

Eating out - What to say to waiters/others
vsginnj replied to Teri Barowsky Hooper's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I usually just order some kind of high protein app. And ask for it to be served with everyone else's dinner. I tell anyone who asks why, no shame in my game!!! -

Our bodies store lots of hormones in fat , as it gets burned they are released, is a possibility . Remember mama says " don't pick" keep your hands off your face and drink lots of water!

Unjury. Pure protein isolate (the good stuff) no sugar. You can order sample assortment online for under 20 bucks. Chicken soup is nice for a change especially early out if cold drinks are hard to tolerate.
-
Lentils any way you like them, chick peas, are pretty high protein. Greek yougart with a 1/4 cup of kashi or crumbled shredded wheat seems to stick around pretty good for me.

Call your doctor!

Looking For Dec Sleevers Out There
vsginnj replied to mandyMO's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved dec 7 2011 on 12/7/12 my weight loss was exactly 150.5 lbs. you can do this guys!!! Good luck and blessings! -
I had a horrible time with bariatric advantage chewables so have many other people, I take source of life adult chewable , my dr remarked that my 1 year bloods were " remarkable" I split the dose and take one am and one pm. As your body adjusts and finds its new equilibrium you will be feeling better I'm so sure. It's really important to find a vitamin that works for you and then take it. Keep your chin up it gets waaay better! I promise by this summer when you are doing stuff you wouldn't or couldn't last summer you will look back at this month and giggle!

And the hips don't lie!!!

I tell anyone ,whoever says its the easy way or cheating I invite to the gym with me ... So far no takers. Remember what we did is radical, and we represent change and commitment that few people will make hence the jerkey reactions. Let your haters be your motivators!!!

Don't take it out on Nate because he is funny and your boyfriend is a dixk!

I eat some Greek yougart for bfast almost everyday. It's much more filling if I throw a handful of crushed up shredded wheat or kashi crunchy cereal in it. If not it seems to slide right thru.

Thought it was just me ,asked my dr , it's called remodeling our bellies pull an unnatural curve in the spine and the extra padding on our butts protect the end of it. He says it resolves after time ,suggested stretching ,yoga, I have in inversion machine(teter hang-up)that's been helping however I still can't sit on anything unpadded for more than a min.or two. As far as sex I'm a male only advice there is "deal with it",haha!
