I was normal size when I married an overweight man. But to be fair I was an obese child and in the 8th grade I started to loose weight by a lot of dieting and exercise. His mother was an amazing fattening food cook. I never knew food could taste this good. I also tried very hard by cooking all this fattening food my new husband liked. I got pregnant 3 months in and I gained 60 lbs. never to see under 200 again. I weighed on average 250 lbs for the next 40 years. When I was put on insulin I gained another 25. 10 weeks ago I had sleeve surgery and so far have lost 49 lbs. My dear husband still has not slowed down on eating even though he is 100 lb overweight. My surgeon said a lot of spouses start losing when they see their partner start to slim down. His response when I was scheduling this surgery was well what about my food, what about me.

As soon as I found out about it I got some and used in my shakes to make them more palatable . I do not know when you can start using it post op.

Wow who is your dr? This is really strict. Seems like you would loose all your weighting in a lot less than a year

So sorry you are both suffering and do not know where to turn. About 4 years ago I had a band scheduled and for some reason changed my mind. So glad I did. Now I am 10 weeks post op from the sleeve and hope things continue down a good path. I still have trouble with foods that do not agree with me. I suffered for 8 hours yesterday from chili and usually I have no problem with that. Best of luck to you both.

You look fabulous.

No

Too many calories! Lower to 800. What about Protein and liquids? You do not mention that. At least 60 protein and try for 64 ozs liquid, I have a problem with liquid myself. Best of luck.

I almost did not buy the dress but my husband went in and bought it for me. I would have been the same way you are about the bikini. We have to learn and just buy something we really like and not have to think about it so much.

I mean to please print or make the script bigger. Script is cursif or handwriting.

We are in Florida at the moment. Enjoying the wonderful weather. We were sight seeing and happened upon a very small boutique. In my experience I can never buy anything in these store but I like to look. I noticed this beautiful white summer dress and fell in love. It only came upto XL. Owner said we have a small dressing room. Oh why not. It fit like a dream. So cute. Here I am a 66 year old grandmother buying a cute white dress at a boutique. Who would have ever figured??????

What is king cake?

Just noticed a clump of hair came out yesterday. I am 10 weeks post op. maybe it is just the normal amount but I do not think so. I am a very hairy person. I so wish it would fall off my body and not my head LOL.

Please stop using script for your posts. I want to read your entries and I am not able too. Pleasr print or enlarge a great deal. Thank you in advance.

No blood transfusions here.

It gets better as time goes on. I am9 weeks post op and can eat 800 to 900 calories per my nutritionist advise. I can drink any thing hot or very cold.

I was very depressed before and now 9 weeks post op I am not depressed at all. The depression lifted for me.

It will get better by 5 or 6 weeks out. I was having the. Same problem and one day I got up and could just take a drink and drank a half glass in on gulp. My surgeon said some swelling must have gone down in order for me to do that.l Best of luck

I was on it over thanksgiving so right now will not be so bad. I was newly sleeved thru Xmas and New Years. You can do this, many of us did and most are carboholics. Good luck.

1. No longer have to wear poise pads 2. Feel full with so little food even when I am so hungry 3. Keep up with my friend when walking

Same happened to me. Was not on a PPI until about 2 weeks post op and I started to get heartburn. Kind of expected it. Even had to sign a paper at the surgeons office before surgery, that. Good chance of heartburn. Maybe you are not taking enough. Call your surgeon for advice.

It was just about an ounce of a barium liquid. Not much at all.

Why can you not eat celery. I am 9 weeks out and eat celery.
