  1. I'm nine most out and sometimes my abdomrn gets tender, kinda feels like I moved a piece heavy furniture. This is the second episode. I just ha r this overly full feeling, despite I haven't really eaten much, because fullness comes extremely quick this occurs. Should I be concerned? Any advice is welcomed Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using VST

  3. That is so true, it really goes down easy and you'll eat a lot without realizing Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using VST

  6. My hormones got screwed right after surgery, had two periods two weeks apart. PMS is a little more intense and I do crave chocolate during that time, so i do eat bite size chocolate or snack size M&Ms. I buy them at a gas station, so I wont have them calling my name in the house.

  8. I go to Starbucks and order a tall lite frappe and I still loose weight. I love Starbucks. I go once per week (Saturdays) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using VST
  9. This am I ate a little oatmeal and 2 Bacon. I've eaten it before, no issues. But this am, within 15 minutes. I was nauseated, sweating, dizzy, felt faint, heart palpitations, vomiting and diarrhea and I can't forget the painful (OMG!). This went on for over four hours, I left work and have been in bed since. Feeling better, but just a little weak. My Dr advised to keep hydrated, then my blood sugars spiked, so I had to inject insulin and I've been insulin free for 8 months. So I learned today that gastric sleeve patients can get dumping. Again feeling better, but my mid section is so sore right now, I don't want to see anything that looks like food. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using VST
  10. Great for you, welcome to tgd club. Been pump free since 12/15/11, sleeved on 13/15. I wish everyone a success story Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using VST
  11. Thanks to everyone for their kind words and motivation. Its not a walk in the park. But I like walking now Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using VST
  12. I purchased mind @ CVS for $30
  13. I had a pain pump, they took it away 3rd day. I would advise to get a abdominal surgical band ($30). It really helped Mr heel, 2 of my friends didn't get one and it took them about three weeks to stop bring so sore. I was at target shopping by week 2. You wear it 24/7 for 30 days, only take it off for showers. I had complications next day post open, but it was diabetes related, stayed a week. But everything worked out great after that. You'll be fine, it gets better
  14. 7 months post open. Came off the insulin pump 4 days post op. Dr. Appt on last Fri w/ labs. Dr. Called all numbers looked great, my new A1C was 5.0 haven't seen anything under 8 in 7 years. So happy about my Choice, 90 lbs down. Its life altering. Vitamin d low, lve always had that issue. Just happy right now, so many asks how skinny do I want to be, I say its not an image thing for, I just wanted to be more healthier, for the first time in 12 yes, I am not taking 9 different pills and hooked up to an insulin pump and sensor, but to keep me on track I keep them in plain view as a motivator. My journey is not always easy, that's reality. But I am enjoying the trip and learning something new all the time. Pre open was 260, now 170. Thanks for support from all
