My eyes are too big for my tummy!
Heather86 :o) replied to bringiton's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a little over 4 months out and have noticed myself doing this lately, too. I've been trying to get a grip on it and only put 3 oz of protein on my plate. I can usually eat it all, but not always. When I can't, it seems like I want to try to eat it and end up regretting it within a minute. I wish I could forget how to clean my plate, lol. -
December 2012 Sleevers
Heather86 :o) replied to tb21872's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm down 56 pounds since surgery day (12/10/12) and down 98 from my highest weight, when I started this process, last summer. -

I'm the same way and it seems like stress makes it worse...it also seems like it happens to a good many people on here and while I'm not a doctor, I would guess that it is a normal thing for us sleevers. One day, I'll eat two egg whites with a little shredded cheese and the next day, I'm full after less than half of one! It varies so greatly, it's crazy. I love my sleeve though, because before surgery...I could've eaten 4 whole eggs with cheese and bacon. :-/

Sleeved December 2012?
Heather86 :o) replied to DedraLynn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've felt the same many times since my surgery on December 10, 2012. My surgery date weight was 235, my current weight is 180, so that's a total of 45 lbs lost post-op. I had a few weeks where my loss just stopped and I was so worried that I would be the only person whose weight loss stopped so soon...but, it picked back up after I upped my water and cut carbs back some more. -
Help building a WARNING - Worst Slider Foods List
Heather86 :o) replied to canuckpaisa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Quaker mini rice cakes... Chobani 0% yogurts... Sensible Portions Ranch Veggie chips... I knew before I even tried the rice cakes and veggie chips that they would be sliders... I had been wanting something crunchy and they cured my craving for not many carbs. I've only had half a serving of either thing, but felt no restriction at all. I can eat a whole chobani yogurt in one sitting...not necessarily a bad thing, but something I didn't think I'd be able to do so soon out. Sorry for rambling, lol. -

TUMS?
Heather86 :o) replied to sara-seeking-sleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't know... I wouldn't think it would hurt anything, though. I know it doesn't help you right now, but I would ask your Dr at your next appointment, just to be on the safe side. -

When you stall...
Heather86 :o) replied to maharet111's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I felt like that during the stall I just got out of.. everyone always asked and I just want to hide, whereas before the stall I would've smiled and told them. It's kind of embarrassing to me, it's like I'm failing, somehow. -
All of my December sleevers...
Heather86 :o) replied to blkdiamond377's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Highest weight: 277 First consult with Dr: 257 Surgery Day: 235 Current weight: 190 So, 45 lbs since surgery and 87 total since my weight loss journey started. My surgery was on December 10, 2012. I had a 2.5 week stall that finally ended a couple days ago and when looking at other people's stats, it seems like I'm doing alright. I know it isn't wise to compare, but it helps me feel a little better. -
I just turned 27, but I have noticed this happening to me... I'm not complaining, though.

Should I be worried? Is this a sign of something bad?
Heather86 :o) replied to Gabi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same indent and similar pain... When I asked my Dr about it, he said it was completely normal. I asked him about cool compresses or a heating pad. He said I could try it and if either thing helped, he could see no reason why I couldn't do them to help with the pain. The heating pad is what ended up helping...good luck and congrats on your surgery! -
Dec 10th sleeves? How are you?
Heather86 :o) replied to gingerRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just updating here... Have been stalled for the last two weeks or so and actually gained 5 pounds overnight... I'm now losing again! I had to lose the weight that I gained so suddenly and am now down to 192. Sooo happy that darn stall finally broke! -
Idk if you are being given anything for nausea or not, but I was given Zofran religiously until my release from the hospital. My headaches went away when that medicine finally wore off. Apparently, it's a side effect...I didn't know, though and didn't actually connect the two until I took one the next day and got a horrible headache. That was just my experience, like I said, I don't know if you're on anything for that or not...just something to consider, if you are. Congrats on your surgery!
