Souledout

Ok so dr said sounded normal. Told me to take mylanta

Coming up on my one year surgiversary (july 9) and I am down from 349 to 205 from a 50w XXL to a 33w med or large. I am about 30 lbs from goal. Don't check in here very much but need to start back.

Don't be such a b$&@! about. More posts than not are exactly what u asked for.

No. I would not. I realize that this is a public forum and things are going to veer in many different directions. I also realize that the world, as much as i would like for it too, doesn't revolve around me or my wants or my desires. Maybe you should realize that as well.

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the way the internet works, so let me shed some light on this subject matter. When you post something to the internet by way of online forums, chat rooms, or otherwise you are opening yourself up to all kinds of things, luckly here on this site things are well moderated (Thank you, mods) so you get to bypass a lot of the flaming, harassment, and generally trolling that one might expect on the internet. Also, these forums are a public place for the members to communicate thoughts, feelings, and information between Vertical Sleeve Talk members. By in large this thread has been EXTREMELY informative, and pretty close to as "on topic" as you could reasonably expect. If you feel that you have gained all the information you care to know about this particular subject, feel free to delete the thread, although that is ill-advised because the entire point of a site like this is to build up an archive of information. I have not once seen you offer a useful response to any of the people here who have taken their time to offer you information, or even so much as a thank you. Forums are a give and a take, and you need to learn how to give a little. Not every single reply to anything will ever be exactly spot-on what you are looking for, but you should be thankful for all the experienced people here interacting with you.

IMO I think you should try to stick to your doc and NUT recommendations as far as carbs, lettuce etc. And if you are unable to make your own decision after looking up the nutrition info for McDs then I'm not sure you are intelligent enough to be successful with the sleeve.
Honestly not trying to be ugly.

I like carnival rides and cotton candy. Do you color your hair? It's lovely.

Perez...I was sleeved July 9. I went out to dinner with friends at about 3 weeks out. I just had a couple of bites of Soup. I go out for meals frequently. You will just not be able to eat very much but you can still go and be a part of the social activities.

GURRL! Idk how I would have reacted but I think i would have felt insulted. Actually I know I would. They have no business talking to patients about that sort of thing with patients! You did good though, I don't know if I could have kept my composure had I been told my sexuality is nasty.

I'm glad I read this. I was sleeved last monday and have been on a 3 day stall. I'm down 17 lbs so far but again I expected more. I did exercise (bike for 25 mins) for the 1st time in years

JenniJune - I'm happy for you that you haven't undergone the misery of dumping or sliming, they are horrible! However, I'm willing to get yelled at here, it isn't always a good thing when we can handle all those things early out. Speaking as an "old timer" (2 years out this week), we see plenty of people who are freshly post-op come on here and say how ecited they are that they have no problem handling a bunch of foods, when they should be asking themselves whether they should actually be eating them, regardless of ability. Just because we can, doesn't mean we should. Yes, I am technically capable of eating bread and Pasta and swigging a soda, does that mean I should? If I could at a few weeks out or months out, should I have? No, the answer is no.

Stepped on the scale this morning... 193! Down 4# this week! 85#s officially gone forever, 4lbs closer to my goal, and every time the amount of weight I have left to lose goes down, I get a little excited... 43# to go!

Not to where I have LOST someones medical records, and then in not so many words called them a Liar or just plain Ignorant. No I have not done that!
Besides, this is about them, not me! They won't even admit to a mistake, they say that I am mistaken, so yes that pisses me off and I have every right to be upset about it! If you don't feel that way then I'm sorry about that but this is how I feel & this message board permits me to say how I feel.

On the losers bench now. Very groggy still

Just got my IV already hadda mini meltdown but better now. Ready to join the losers bench. Please keep my seat warm
