A word about stalls-losing pounds and sizes
jlomoregie replied to tennessee1031's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello, I was wondering if your Wii scale is in sync with your other scales? I have been weighing myself with my Wii scale but do not have another scale to compare it to. I do not go back to the doctor until November for an official weight. Thanks, Janice -
To weigh or not to weigh....that is the question!
jlomoregie replied to SarahD.'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I weigh myself with the Wii also. Is it in sync with your/doctors scale? Thanks, Janice -
How often do you get on the scale?
jlomoregie replied to a.walker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I threw my scale away and began weighing myself on the Wii as well. Is it pretty much in sync with your other scale or the doctor's scale? -

I had my surgery with Dr. Alanis on 09/20/10. I have no complaints. He is a great doctor with a great bedside manner. After care has been terrific. -
How much can you eat

Tiff, I have experienced weird bouts of sneezing and itchy throat - but I contributed it to allergies. Maybe, it is a signal - as it normally happens after eating. Janice -
How much can you eat
jlomoregie replied to jlomoregie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Gayle, I had difficulty with the "overcooked" Pasta my doc said was okay to eat. It kind of just sat there in my throat. I did not feel nauseated or anything - just the feeling that you get when a capsule doesn't seem to go all the way down. I did not know if it was the pasta or the fact that I may have eaten too much or too fast. However, it stayed that way all night. Thanks for the post! Janice -
How much can you eat
jlomoregie replied to jlomoregie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tiff, Thank you for your reply! I am on mushies now - and the signal is still not really presenting its self. Last night I did go to sleep with the feeling that my food was not "down" all the way. However, I did not really contribute that as a full signal. After you said hiccups, I put two and two together. I will start measuring in order to ensure that I am not overeating. Thanks so much for your post! Janice -
How much can you eat
jlomoregie replied to jlomoregie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you Jordien! Your post did help. The problem is that I have never felt nausea after eating and I have never thrown up. However, I can definitely eat more than 1/4 cup of food. Maybe, I will have more restriction when I hit solids.. Thanks, Janice -
Hello VSG Family! I have a quick question. How does your stomach let you know that you've had enough to eat/drink? Do you feel pain, nausea, tightness...? I am definitely wanting to know. I am nearly 3 weeks out and I think I can eat more than other sleevers. I am losing weight - 20+lbs since surgery. Yesterday I had my 2 week check up and I told my doctor that I did not feel a lot of restriction, he did not have a lot to say. He looked at my weightloss, removed my stiches, asked how much I ate and said I am doing fine. Don't worry, I am not obsessed - as i know I am doing fine. I just want to know how to better listen to my sleeve. Thanks in advance for reading, Janice

September sleevers wanted!
jlomoregie replied to determined1's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Well, I got the call a few minutes ago..... Insurance approved my surgery - so - I will have surgery on Monday!!(09/20)!!! I am sooooooo excited! Now I will just continue worrying about my pre-op bloodwork. I know I should not worry about it.. (Thanks for all of the feedback on this).. But, hey, I have to worry about something.. right???? Janice -
Thanks for the info Suzette. I am so glad everything is going as planned! I am in a dump today. I completed everything on the 3rd and have a surgery date for the 20th. However, I am still waiting on final insurance approval for the surgery. The doctor office seem pretty confident - however - I am worried because I did not lose weight during the 3month nutritional visits. Well, initially I lost a couple of pounds - but ended up gaining before it was all over. I think I gained 3-4lbs. I need to ask around and see if anyone else had this problem. Being hypothyroid doesn't help.... I am supposed to begin my liquid diet on Monday - but I am not at all motivated (because of insurance). I have called the insurance company everyday. Yesterday, they told me it was still pending and should be complete by Friday. I wonder if that is good or bad.... Anyways, I hope you all of the best with you surgery! Sept 16th!!! OMG!! that is in 3 days. Janice

Hi Suzette, How did your blood work go? How is your surgery? Janice
-
Hello, I am going to hospital to do pre-op bloodwork the Friday(09/17) before my surgery(Monday 09/20). What are they testing me for? I already did pre-op tests.. Exray, Endo, Blood.. a couple of months ago. I do not mind blood being drawn -I just do not want anything to push my date back.:huh0: I am also waiting on final approval from Aetna. The office staff is very confident that I will be approved. As you can see, they have already made arrangements with the hospital. However, like always.. I am totally worried that something will come up and stall things. Sorry for whining.. Janice :001_unsure:
