  1. Great idea!!! Good luck on your surgery!
  2. Congrats on your surgery!! Try to walk as much as you can to get rid of the gas. Trust me-it will help. Keep us posted.
  3. I love my cpap machine. I have had three since I was diagnosed in 2005. I just had another sleep study on the 21st and was fitted today for my new mask. Hang in there! Good luck!
  4. My fav breakfast on most weekends is 1/2 cup egg whites, 1/2 morning star sausage pattie, 1/2 slice wheat toast and a cup of coffee.. MMMM...on weekdays, I just have an Atkins chocolate protein shake.
  5. I am cold all the time since my surgery. Oh well...another thing to get used to with the sleeve! I love it. Hope you feel better soon. Good luck!
  6. I usually have sugar free jello, weight watchers cheese, or just a couple of Keebler fat free crackers. It does the trick. Try it! Good luck!
  7. You look great!! It is wonderful isn't it? Congrats!!
  8. Welcome Maurice. Congrats on your loss.
  9. IMO he is a scumbag for putting you through this at a time when you need him most. You are the one that is important here and we will all support you. Sending you a hug and prayers!
  10. Good luck on your journey!
  11. Try the other options mentioned on here hun. This surgery was a life changing decision for me and many others. Good luck!
  12. Good decision!! Happy holidays!
  13. Good for you CowgirlJane!!!My husband is 7 years younger than me and I am so happy. Congrats!!
  14. I do the 5 day pouch test about every 6 wks or so. It does work with breaking a stall and helps keep me on track. I feel that it gives my system a break and I feel better. I also drink a lot of water. Good luck!
  15. So so sorry for your loss. Sending you hugs I will have you in my prayers. Hangn i there and remember why you did this. Get back on track and take care of you! Good luck and keep us posted.
  16. Congrats!!! Good luck and keep us posted.
  17. Having the revision from band to sleeve was a great decision for me. I was tired of having fills then unfills, throwing up, discomfort at the port area, etc, etc...I lost 80 lbs the first year and a half which of course I gained back. Oh well...I now have the right tool to help me with my weight loss. I love my sleeve! Good luck on your journey!
  18. I disagree. My husband and I still go out to dinner. Of course, it's not as often and we watch the calorie intake. Of course, protein first! Though I have had the VSG, he is losing weight by following my program. We excercise together, and encourage one another on our journey. Good luck!
  19. I use measuring cups and watch my portion size. I do it so I don't waste any food that I know I can't finish. It also helps me to watch my calorie intake. Of course, protein first! Good luck!
  20. The best thing to do is walk, walk, walk. You will feel better soon. Congrats on the sleeve.
  21. Hi gmanbat, Thank you for the information.
  22. It's normal to worry. You will be making a life style change. Just follow the directions from your doc and you should be fine. The first week or two after my surgery, I took things easy such as not lifting anything, and getting in my FLUIDS. You will do fine. Good luck on your journey!
  23. I decided on the sleeve for my revision from the band instead of RNY because it is what advised by mr dr. It's one of the best decisions I have ever made. I would continue to research both surgeries and decide on the one that is right for you. Good luck on your decision and weight loss.
  24. Welcome!!! Congrats on your surgery. Good luck on your journey!
