My Fellow 9/4 (Or Last Week) Sleevers - How Are You Doing ?
I am down 38 since surg on 9-6. 58 since my highest. I just started to shed hair but I have enough hair for 10 people so I'm not too worried. I have been approved to eat anything. I always eat my Protein first and get about 800-900 calories a day. Usually 60-70g of protein. Some days I feel hungry. On those days I grab some protein and feel much better. I exercise 3-4 days a week. My hip has been bothering me. Odd that it would start after losing 50 pounds! I feel fabulous! So many things are much easier. Loving my sleeve!!!!

Worried About Not Being A Loser!
I think we all felt that way! It is fun to watch it melt off. I am a slow loser but I'm ok with that. Hopefully my skin will not be as flabby (at least I hope) The weight will definately come off with the amount of food we are consuming! Good luck

Ok Ladies Level With Me Here ... Gas?
I have said this before on this forum The BEST advise I was given was... NEVER EVER trust a fart! A liquid diet changes everything!!! Sharts happen. lol It gets better when you get on solids. I luckily didn't have much of a problem with gas. My belly made a ton of noise! It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be

Anyone Out There Cold After Getting Sleeved?

Is Tylenol Pm Safe?
I took Tylenol PM about 1 1/2 months out and did just fine. I think it is just the advil/aleve that you can't take.

Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call
I am eating so much healthier than I was pre sleeve. I ate a lot of fast food, processed food and just plain junk! I am now preparing my meals ahead of time and loving it. I think my nutrition is much better now! I was also not taking vitamins before. Kinda surprised I'm still alive... lol

To Count Or Not To Count
my NUT said the best thing about this surgery is that you never have to count calories again. Make sure you get 60+ g of protein in and just keep sugars and fats low. No more counting calories. WOOHOO I know there is not much room for more calories anyway!

Acid Reflux...
nope. My dr had me take prilosec for 2 months because it helps you stomach to heal. I have not taken them since then and no problems

Bmi Question

When Could You Swallow Pills?
Most of my pills are small so I never crushed them. They gave them to me whole in the hospital. I did have to empty the capsule of prilosec but only for a week or so. I am 2 1/2 months out and can now swallow big pills.

Hip Pain After Vsg
I have that too!! I wonder why that is. I did not have it before surgery. It is worse in the evenings when I walk for a long distance during the day. I plan on asking my Dr but it sure is interesting that others have it too!
