VerticalMorey

I had internal bleeding after the surgery. If you go to the stories section post off my post explaining it all is called something like the story you don't want to hear but should.

I pray for a speedy recovery so sorry this happened to you. Please keep up updated on how you're progressing.

I

know where?? Do you mean*no where? I hope your man supports you in a phonics class. So much for go with God. I knew you were a fraud. Just like calling them out. Later hater.

You sound like the hater I have no reason to hate I have a fan base and supports sounds to me you're the hater. You're the misery that loves company! Ha are than any typos? Such a loser negativity doesn't bring me down only makes me better

What is wrong with you?

It's ok she is just another one of those negative people on here... I'm on my iPhone so excuse the typos didn't know this was a grammar correcting forum

To continue I had people say no you shouldn't your fine, but they were also half my size and didn't understand my struggle I started at 321 on the day of my surgery I was 297 and now I'm at280 I was sleeved 8/13/12 keep your head up and surround yourself with positive supporters which will make it a lot easier on you

Most of this answer is about you and how great you have it. This woman was reaching out for help not your brag bag.

Maybe you should Reread what I said and if no one was there for you or you don't feel you could tell anyone I see why your a total b***h I wouldn't support you If you were going to save the planet. Nastiness gets you know where!

Soooo....I have a good friend who has been my weight loss buddy for the last 4 years. We have some of the same struggles except she is 165 lbs and has only 10lbs to lose. Meanwhile I'm 300+ lbs and need to lose a good 100 +. O work out try and eat right and she doesn't. I thought by sharing my decision to get sleeved would bring the same amount of support....well not so much.

At first my friend was happy and encouraging. I guess She has now taken sometime to think abt it and decided to call me to tell me my decision is a bit extreme and risky. She suggested to eat right and workout hard since I had done it before. What she failed to remember is that I was also on phentermine and now have gained 30 of the 80 lbs I lost. She then went on to say my skin is going to sag ' date=' I'm going to lose too much weight, and I basically have mastered being sexy for my size so I need not focus so much on the # and to lose 50 lbs. I'm kinda pissed by all of this. This is one of the reasons I allowed my self to become so overweight because people have made it acceptable for me to be comfortable in my "bIg sexy " skin.

So I just wanted to see if anyone has experienced this from friends and family and how you dealt with it. It was a bit discouraging yet I thanked her for her opinion, told her I was still going thru with it and disconnected the call.[/quote']

Your friends love you and are concerned like you mentioned she is half your size so it is natural for her to not understand and they know and love you how you are. Most of my friends were very supportive it was the man I had to struggle with but he loves me and was the pre-op on operation day and is still here and ill be 3 weeks post op mon. Make your decision give it to god and keep moving

Yes it is and enjoy it it's mostly Fluid since you haven't had any solids yet! I lost 11 my first week of surgery

Seeing everyone's been drinking I'd just say be careful I totally understand being normal and enjoying friends, but just remember why you decided to have the surgery. Take care and I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do; this is a forum and it's just my opinion good luck to you and don't worry about the negative people they exist everywhere

Water is boring and I was asking seriously so if you have nothing to add then don't. I am a little over 3 weeks post op. and I am having my annual party at my tiki bar next week.

I don't think you should drink this soon post op. even though you may feel good on the outside our bodies are still healing on the inside. My Dr told me if at all possible to avoid drinking till I get to my goal weight and maintain it. If all else fails I know you wanna hang with the girls and have fun but have virgin fruity something your health is more important

I'm verticalmorey new to my fitness pal, not sure how many calories I should be taking in but I'm well under 1000

Not sure how good that is since surgery seems like everyone looses at different speeds. Hoping it picks up

I was going to buy one of each flavor of the Isopure but based on these reviews and the high cost' date=' I think I will spend my money elsewhere. Thanks for all the great feedback.[/quote']

Try one everyone's taste buds are different I wouldn't recommend buying a ton of anything without trying it first. I just bought the unjury chicken mix. It is delicious taste just like a bowl of chicken Soup and has 21 grams Protein per scoop.

All of the problems sound so scary. Does anyone regret surgery? I just don't if I could live life like that. Of course my quality of life right now is pretty crappy too.

No regrets at all. Everyone will react to the surgery differently and even though some of theses may seem a bit extreme and frightening it still manageable and some very temporary. I'm exactly 2 weeks post op today and the only thing that bothers me is the gas I burp like crazy and it's loud to, but I'm going to start taking gasx. If thats the worst that could happen, well it nothing compared to being fat and miserable.

Constipation - I need to take a stool softner every three days or so. It really helps.

I also get a hot/flushed feeling after I eat a little too much that lasts for up to an hour. I also get the hiccups after eating.

Me too going through this right now ugh!!! It's very irritating....

No these are the ready made...I can't tolerate the powder ones!! Yuck

I sure will we are all in this together

Yea that's a good way to spin it and look at it: however I'm concerned that if it's going straight through my system am I absorbing all my Protein? I'm going to ask my surgeon on my post op apt

I'm Only five days out. My highest weight in jan 2012 I was 321lbs. On the start of my pre-op diet I was 312. On the day of surgery August 13 2012 was 297. And today I weighed myself and I'm 288. Wow! 33lbs down. My goal is 189 so 99lbs to go!

Day 7 and an additional 4lbs down... Trying no to be addicted to the scale

I'm not responding to the shakes everyone I've had today has sent me running to the restroom... Ugh will this get better? Not the best first day on full liquids and puree

So i had a scrambled egg with cheddar cheese and it went down pretty good.I think im going to try tuna later on...

Protein did that to me at first too.

Glad to know I'm not loosing my mind.. Thank you!

Omg I has my first premiere ready made shake and it sent me straight to the little girls room and this is my first time going since surgery wtf??

Sleeved August 15th and down12 lbs. but I can't wait for soft foods next week. I don't want to see Jello or another Popsicle again.

Congrats!! I feel you I've had every tropical / regular Popsicle and jellos they ever made sugar free... You will get thee I was sleeved on the 13th and start purée today and full liquids, but I'm a little nervous scared of getting sick

That does sound delish I'm going to have to try that!
