Seemebetter

U are gonna have stalls . One at 2-3 weeks another at 6weeks so on. After you bodies loose weight it then has to adjust. Its so normal

AMEN... And I will spank the bottoms of your Feet

I was completely sleep for mine... both of them. I kinda take my care in my own hands. I let the Dr. know if they want to do certain procedures I must be sleep. And if I'm not comfortable with a Dr.'s recommendation I simply say ...NO. This is my body and they are NOT perfect...only "practicing physicians"..

Well you can go to the ER. So that make sure you are okay. It happened to me also right after the surgery. It only happened once...but it was a lot of bright red blood kinda scary.

liquid diet..... I didn't do any days of the pre op liquid diet. My doctor said that he normally order at least 1 week, but I did not have to do it. I think it was because of my BMI not being very high. (40.1BMI)

What is a apple?

Mishy.. as you can tell we all care for you. We just want you successful and healthy. For anybody reading this ...this is why psych, nut eval and diets are important. We all need help...

Well to state the obvious... that was a bad idea. And ur body is already showing you. Will the cake cause a leak? ...Prob Not... Are you gonna be sick....Yes. Like someone else said. You are now a baby.... would you give ur 8day baby cake...Hell No. Although ur baby tummy will grow up quick. Pls wait on it. When everyone sits down to eat get up and take a walk...call a old friend. We are here to HeLP

I would like today I felt more normal... I even ate 3 times... I pray this continues..Yay Me

I did it , I agree I am miserable . I was sleeved on May 29th and I am not happy ...food hates me.

I walk a lot... I just can't eat. I get sick everytime I try. I'm so scared I'm gonna get put back in Hospital

I got sleeved on May 29th. I have had a few set backs since then. I am still having issues eating. Finding food that i can eat. Acid reflux... Is terrible .... Did any one else have these issues

I did the same thing while I was on full liquids.... That soup made life better for just one meal... I am now 4 weeks out and its a lil better. Shrimp and refried beans are my close friends

So today...I stepped on scale and guess who is under 250....Me... I am so happy...dancing with fire...yes I am

Ok there is a werid upside... I was in the hospital recently and I was able to take all my shots in my tummy because its numb ....PAINLESS

I can give a shot at answering this question. This what I was told ... The body is amazing and will find it natural normal. That's why a person can sometimes lose 100lbs then they gain 15lbs back and stay there for years. But I was also told about a case that some is in the hospital now weighing 75lbs but they did a big NO..NO..they went back to smoking. I have learned that God made us so amazing when we get to our Natural Normal...we will Know

You are a lot like me. But apart of the reason we gain weight is due to NOT EATING. You will hear it sd over and over this WLS not brain surgey. Eating is very important

Yes there is a one time program fee of $600. That is kinds crazy.

Yes it was a sleeve complication. I had a issue swallowing, vomiting, and nausea. I am much better now. I plan to be discharged today. I had a different Dr in research come and tell me abt a case study they are working on that proved that all this can be fixed with B6....we will see

I am with Emory in Atlanta too. If you are working with Tracey trust what she says. My insurance company req was 3month diet also. It feels like a long time but its worth the wait. There is so much to learn about this new life.

I made this challenge prior to becoming ill and ended up in the hospital where I've been for the last week and a hospital. Its so hard but I'm getting better.

I am doing much better today. I may get out tomorrow . Yay.. Thanks for the prayers

Weighing urself daily has is pro's and con's. When you weigh yourself daily you have type of measuring stick on how well you are doing. The other side is "stalls" when you hit one the scale can be come very upseting. So weigh urself everyday until you stay at the same number for 3days straight then go to once a week until you start losing again...

Wow...that really was amazing
