Internal Staple Issues In The Future
marie110 replied to TamaraS's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i was told my my doctor that the stomach heals just like a cut on your skin it heals on its own forming scar tissue the staples stay there but do not cause any harm. once the stomach is fully healed its very rate that you would have a rupture.. however I've read on here horrible stories about the body rejecting the staples or the staples not taking .... all i can say hope we are all safe with this titanium we will carry with us forever.. we should check back on each other 20 30+ years from now .. jk -

July Sleevers----Where Ya At? :-)
marie110 replied to zweetnana's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
sleeved on july 12 down 30 pounds and I'm stalling also but at 9 weeks out I'm officially out of the woods.. saw my doctor.. and got a clean bill of health ... its been a roller coaster but I'm "normal" now.. had many obstacles and got thru them all.. first few weeks were the hardest had dehydration, gastrointestinitis, naropathy, abdominal pain, gastritis, hypoglasimia and pain pain pain.. had many tests done and many medications. last test was egd and my G I doctor states that I'm now able to eat anything i want and assured me my stomach should not stretch out.. as far as eating I've done ok along the way despite the pain attacks i stuck to my diet phases but within the last week.. i have experienced tons of hunger literally want to shove everything in my mouth. its scary.. hope this is a phase that will go away. regardless of what i have gone through i don't regret my wls because i am down 4 pant sizes.. : -) -
prayers your way... but when you really think about it our sleeve issues seem so minimal then worse things that can happen .. good luck and keep the faith it will all work out.. smile hug

Starting To Get Hunger Attacks.... Help....
marie110 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
so its official I'm officially out of the woods.. I'm 9 weeks out and saw my doctor.. and got a clean bill of health ... its been a roller coaster but I'm "normal" now.. had many obstacles and got thru them all.. dehydration, gastrointestinitis, naropathy, abdominal pain, gastritis, hypoglasimia and pain pain pain.. had many tests done and many medications. last test was egd and my G I doctor states that I'm now able to eat anything i want and assured me my stomach should not stretch out.. as far as eating I've done ok along the way despite the pain attacks i stuck to my diet phases but within the last week.. i have experienced hunger attacks literally get extremely hungry and want to shove everything in my mouth. its scary.. although i can't overstuff my stomach or i get severe pain i still attempt to eat more then i should because i feel so hungry i hope this is a phase that will go away. is this physical mental did the gi doctors words trigger bad behavior has anyone experienced this? was it a phase? did it go away? please share. trying really hard to control my eating.. by the way I'm stalling between 141 - 143 pounds..... regardless of what i have gone through i don't regret my wls because i am down 4 pant sizes.. : -)- 1 reply

Im So Depressed!
marie110 replied to lizzybean3377@yahoo.com's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
your body is grieving the loss of part of your stomach and that is major!!! in these first weeks focus on your recovery your diet and try to make yourself comfotable and find things that make you happy such as a movie an object a favorite picture keep it near you as a symbol that you cared enough about yourself to take control of your wieght and health you are in the driver seat now not food! for me it was a bag of clothes that i kept filling up as the wieght kept coming off and it will that bag is almost full now.... personally i dont care for medz unless absolutely required ask your doctor about joining a support group and visit this site daily for great info and stories good luck -

tried pizza for the first time since my sleeve.. oh my!!... I'm 6 weeks out and promised myself a treat.... i had half a small slice of just cheese with no crust and i cut it up in small pieces totaled about 4-6ounces i dipped it in sauce just in case.. i chewed each small piece very well and took my time.. was scared but all went ok i did get full right away and my stomach gurgled as it went down.. but such a milestone for me.. being that i had lots of complications early on yay me.. all i can say is yum yum yum.

How Long Were You Out Of Work?
marie110 replied to Olivia23's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm shocked to hear people go back to work so early.. i too sit all day and high stress job.. but no way i cannot see myself going back to normal so quickly i did have complications early on but for me dealing with work and recover at the same time was not gonna happen... taking care of myself to recover completely was my focus recovery first work second.. i took as much time as my doctor allowed for sleeve (6weeks) and then i took a leave on top of that but no pay... for a few more weeks.. my insurance did cover the sleeve but it took a long time to get approved .... i recommend the sleeve a friend of mine has lap and hasn't worked for her at all she gained weight cuz the band eventually lets you fall back to all the bad habits if you don't continue with band adjustments.. with sleeve there is no way you can cheat your stomach will not let you overeat!!!! -
How Long Before I Can Drink A Soda Or A Zipp Fizz?
marie110 replied to mosher62's topic in Food and Nutrition
I'm 6 weeks out. ... and i was a very occasional soda person before surgery.. but do crave it especially to quench my thirst... at a recent family function i accidentally out of habit drank 7-up after gulping it and realizing it.. i was on panic mode just waiting to see the outcome and it did give me a very uncomfortable and bad stomach acke so won't do that again ... like all the other comments i would wait a very long time to try it... -
im 6 weeks out also.. i have tried tomatoes no heartburn.. but i use a lemon squeezer and it goes down easy.. haven't tried cucumbers but also craving it..
-
im 6 weeks out.. haven't dared explore that much but for me no change with taste hope it stays that way.
-
will be starting the last phase of my diet.. regular food.. excited but need to do well and learn just what i can and cannot tolerate.. yay!

i recommend supremo queso fresco ... its easy going down crumbles up and did not give me any discomfort has 6 grams of protein per serving.. i eat it as a snack.. yum
