CBT

HAHAHAHA! Nice visual.

I'm sorry for your friend's challenges. It's hard mot to personalize and compare and still, your path and your friend's path are not the same. Having your stomach won't change the path your friend is on. Gentle ease.

I'm 8 mos post op and can eat one soft corn taco And feel full. I could eat a second one hours later, also (2-4hours). Although...if I'd only eaten sliders like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and/or Protein shakes, for example, I wonder if I'd be able to eat more. I don't wonder enough to give it a go, mind you :-p

I got some additional feedback that these may be a really bad idea for VSG....any one else?

I'm so lame! I had a fever and felt really out if it at the immediate care yesterday. I'm 8mos post op and I neglected to tell the PA-C that I had VSG. He prescribed tesselon for my cough. Any one take. This POST OP? I read the clinical statements about rapid absorption and now I'm having medical students disease (I freaked myself out and I'm afraid to take them). LOL!! I will call the pharm. I get it. I just want to know how many if ya'll have take. Them post op?

I forget surgeons make the big incision on the right side, too. Mine's on the left. Ha! I didn't have a biopsy. I did have muscle pain from the big incision. I hope you find relief soon

I'm 8 months out and I like/agree with everything PDX Man said. Eating and drinking together is just annoying now because you have to eat again so soon if you eat and drink close together. Also you might really be looking forward to eating and find you can't get enough calories cause you're still too full of fluids. I'm busy! It pays to wait. For me food really is about eating to live; not, living to eat.

Well you can still have RNY.

SherriRN what about your gallbladder? That seems to go wacko for many postop.

HAHAHAHA!!!

I'd probably do bar or half a bar over the shake so I didn't have to drain my sna...oh! I'm a girl...go pee in the night :-p

Hardly any one said anything to me until I'd lost about 60#. Now people can't stop commenting. I think some people don't want to be offensive and others are unsure. There are several threads about this. We know we're changing but it takes others awhile. I suppose some ppl are jealous. I don't have those ppl in my life so I can't speak to that.

You average 12 pounds per month! That's awesome.

This is really dependent on your metabolic rate and any metabolic syndrome you may or may not have and your rate of fat loss to lean muscle loss. I am at the high end of safe loss if the average is 2-5% My endo calculated 4.7 last week. I eat 1200-1400 cal per day. I work out pretty hard six days a week. If I was losing at 6% or higher, they'd ask me to increase my calories. If I couldn't, I'd have to restrict cardio. It's about health and wellness. Lean muscle is in all your organs as well as your muscles.

Can be a symptom of losing too much lean muscle mass. Newly post op can be after effects of anesthesia (up to about 8 weeks).

Congratulations, Loser!! I came home 12# heavier and nothing moved for 2 weeks. Then all of a sudden: BAM. I've never had a stall. It's okay to NOT expect a stall

Pumpkinhead321 I track everyday! It'd be great to see more stories in my news feed!!! Can be so motivational

You all are totally doing this! In July this goal seemed so so so far away interlaced with thoughts of doubt: will I make it? Can I do it? Will it all stop working? Rock your sleeve!

Today I have lost 100 Pounds. That is mind blowing! I am over the moon and beyond the stars. Happy Dance! WHOOT!!

Two days with UHC! They called me as well as drs office. I was do freakin happy and terrified. Lol. Congratulations to you newly approved! OP it really could be Monday...Er...Tuesday if Monday is a holiday for them?

I'm challenged. Do you cook the oatmeal or is it raw? I actually eat oat meal and cottage cheese mixed in a bowl pre workout. My family thinks I'm nuts. This pancake is awesome!!!

My fitness pal

I had a major hernia repair 3 months post sleeve. I have no comorbidities.

He updated MFP today :-)

I haven't read through all these posts. You certainly can ask Aetna to investigate.
