Totally obsessed with WLS
cwalker replied to moni luv's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3 months post-op and still come here every day, it helps to bond with other VSG'ers. Good Luck to ya'll and the exercise is more fun, because you see it working!! -
I'm so glad all went well, walk, rest and sip!! We moved down the bench for you.

Are you able to get in any protein, I did have a few hot flashes but attributed them to hormones, which are zinging around because our bodies are saying "What the heck happened here?" Focus on the liquids and protein and see if that helps.

Scared and scared I'm going to cancel and bolt
cwalker replied to trouble's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am 3 months out and the drinking thing was better by 3 weeks for me, i can at 3 months take large swallows of water without any problem. I know there are several members who have been so happy to be rid of the band and finally nausea free/pain free. -
OMG Got A DatE! HELP ME
cwalker replied to determined1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm do happy for you, I made lists of the dietary guidlines my surgeon wanted me to follow and made a gro list according to that. you need clear liquids (propel,fruit2o,Special K protein water,broth or soups strained) I went ahead and bought Crystal Light SF popsicles and SF jello, pudding and Gasx strips. I could drive 4 days post op so just stuff for the first week. Good Luck!! -
Sleeved yesterday...yikes!

Not sure if my insurance will approve surgery
cwalker replied to YOLANDA240's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm Pretty sure the insurance wants to see you had weight issues in 2005, it doesen't matter what your BMI was then, what matters is now,plus you had a hysterectomy and the weight can come afterward. I have UHC too and they are a good insurance, mine was 80/20 and I only had to pay 1500.00 when all was said and done. Good Luck!! -
Congrats Pnw218, You are doing wonderful and inspiring us all. Have a great time on your cruise, wish I could stowaway.lol Keep rocking that sleeve sister!!

Congrats on the approval!!

need input from the "
cwalker replied to dbernier01's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Each surgeon seems to different guidelines. You could check with your surgeon to see what those are, as for myself I was on clears for 7 days and day 8-30 l mushies,soft food,anything that could be smushed up. Cornwell has a die guideline if you do a serach on the forum you'll find it. You should be fine for the conference but that is just my opinion.Good Luck! -
So, what do you think....????
cwalker replied to Margoboo's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
What are the requirements for your UHC? The sleep apnea and HBP will sway the odds in your favor, so try don't give up! -
Question about taking pills
cwalker replied to PamelaAM's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only took Bp med for 2 days after surgery, the weight fell offand I didn't need the med. I was given liquid loratab and used it for a week because I have rhuematoid arthritis, on day 8 I was given go ahead for Celebrex, and occasional Aleve as needed, we still have a functioning stomach so as far as I know NSAID are not banned. Good luck. -
Atta Girl Stacy, you are doing great, look how you've kicked butt with the hiking, you are going to lose,be healthy- this surgey is going to make you sucessful and the 6lbs a month is a great goal. Just keep on with your regime and the lbs will come off. :biggrin0:

Restruant Discount cards
cwalker replied to cwalker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
thanks Tiffy, I found them on the OH forum but I have found so far the children'm menu isn'r what I want to order from and have been doing the appetizer thing too, guess I was just curious if alot of VSG'ers used them or not. I like the appetizer menu it's more creative. :confused1: -
Restruant Discount cards
cwalker replied to cwalker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Omg i got my date!!!!!!!!
cwalker replied to jenn20's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
something loose and comfortable to wear home from hospital, gas x strips for the first couple of days, you can have propel,fruit20 and special k protein water, I made my own broth and froze it coz the can stuff is nasty and I did use Takeout Egg drop soup and Japenese onion soup (strained) adding the unflavored whey protein.Oh and Crystal light popsicles are a must lol I went thru 2 boxes. Good Luck!
