so glad that I read this. My boss went out fishing and caught a bunch of Trout. I was going to take some home and cook it tonight. Maybe I still will for the kids but I dont think I will be trying it yet.

Did anyone buy skinny clothes before they lost?
ishary replied to Stacie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Mini! I was not sure how to send a private message and I wanted to ask you since you are just one day ahead of me in surgery dates...... are you eating regular food now??? I am still just in mushies and was wondering if it would be alright for me to start eating normal food now. I spoke with a girl that had surgery with me at Jerusalem clinic this morning and she said that she was eating normal foods now. Are you? -

Buy the dress!!! I think its not only a GREAT motivator!! But..... its something to keep you inspired. I sometimes get frustrated that I cant eat certain things and it makes me sad. So with a hot little sexy number of a dress to look at every day it keeps my mind in the "positive" and reminds me that this is all so worth it!!! :wink0::crying::ohmy: -
Is my bougie size too big?
ishary replied to HEARTONMYSLEEVE's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you Tiffy. I actually did find out today from the hospital coordinator that I had a size 32 and she said that basically that meant that I had a 4oz stomach and that Dr. Almanza took out 85% of my stomach. It seems hard to believe that my stomach is the size of the 2nd pen on that page. It looked larger when I had the flouroscope ??? -

I am so doing this!!! I will weigh once a week and no more than that! I have totally become a slave to the scale and it stinks!!:thumbup1:

I had surgery on Jan 28th and was back to work on Feb 2nd. I really felt wiped out though! I have a desk job and really I never lift anything heavier than my purse. I think if you are able to take at least a week of it would be really helpful to your recovery process. 2 weeks would be better yet!!:thumbup1:

I totally agree!! I was soooo super hyper sensitive to smells. I had to walk around the clinic with my hand over my face. I couldnt handle the scent of the cleaning solution that they used over there. so happy that you are on your way home!!:001_tongue:

Just was wonering what the cost of the sleeve was with Dr. Acceves? I would love for my daughter to have it. I had mine with Dr. Almanza at Jerusalem medical ctr. While I love the personable care I received with Dr. Almanza and the staff I would rather my daughter was in a Hospital with the ICU as oppose to the surgical ctr of Jerusalem Medical Ctr. -
YAY!!!! :thumbup1::thumbup::thumbup1::001_smile::thumbup:

Hy Shyone! I found greek yogurt last night at the grocery store. Yoplait has just come out with one too. I love what Oregon Daisy has suggested with the sugar free syrup and the plain greek yogurt. Thats what I will do next time. I just mainly bought it as the protien is double in them.

SO AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing!! So inspiring!!:thumbup1:

Hi Nikki! Wait! Protien Click Coffee? What is that? I am having a tough time getting all my protien in. I have been told that I should be getting 70gms and let me say I fall way way short. I drink my coffee with equal and sugar free vanilla creamer.

Smokin HOT!! Thanks for sharing!!! What an inspiration you are!!! :thumbup::lol0::thumbup1::001_smile::thumbup: -
oh YAY!!! I am so excited. I was reading somewhere on this site that corn chips and tortilla chips were sort of frowned upon. This is a great alternative for the crunch and salt fix!!:001_smile:

Really frustrated with surgeon
ishary replied to excited2lose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You need to send them a bill for your time!! Seriously! I would write out a letter explaining the rude treatment that you received from the office staff and include an invoice for the time they left you to sit and include gas and mileage as well. Send a copy of the letter to the Chief of Staff. -
I am on board with the B plan Coffee and Ant Acid. :001_smile:
-
YUM!!! When can I have them?:001_smile:

Hi Carol! I am in the same boat. I can not stop drinking coffee. I usually have 2 cups a morning. I had surgery on 1-28 and I tried to quit. I actually did ok for the first several days but as soon as I had to go back to work it was on again!! I try to drink a lot of Water but really I dont get a gallon of that down a day either. Please tell me I am not damaging my sleeve. :thumbup1::thumbup:
