    Water...

    starshine replied to NewMe86's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm 17 days out and I can't drink plain water either. Makes me feel a little sick so I have to use Crystal Light or diet Arizona tea packets.. It's so weird!

    Allergic to med tape???

    starshine replied to emily_0192010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Hey Emily!! I had the same exact thing. I even had a couple blisters where the tape was. I put Caladryl on when the itching was driving me crazy and then just waited it out. It's gone now.

    Loose Skin

    starshine replied to wishes's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    wow you're doing great! Congrats.

    It's mostly protein and veggies. I had a hard time the first week with cravings. No-no's are bread, pasta, sugar (which includes fruit!). It's do-able though so you should try it!

    Thanks! My diet is less that 30g of carbs a day and no snacks. I don't think I'll have lost that much next weigh in though because I've cheated a lot. Oops. lol

    Dr. Webb is supposed to be great. I actually looked at NOVUS too and liked them. I've lost 12 lbs so far and have been doing it a little less than a month. It's hard but not impossible so I'm okay. Congrats on your 3 months! Halfway through! :)

    I'm going with Dr. Cywes! Oh that's so cool we're going to be at the same place. I liked Dr. Pinnar a lot and could easily go with him too. He talked to my mom and I a long time and answered all of our questions. I hope you can avoid the 3 month diet because it's a pain in the ass! lol I hate it. Maybe I'll see you at a support group down the line, my name is Kasey.

    Hey! I'm getting my surgery done with Dr. Cywes here in Jax. How about you?

  17. starshine
    Hey Emily, I'm Kasey. I live in Jax too and I'm 23. I'm a couple weeks into my 3 month diet I have to do for my insurance. Who's going to be your surgeon?
  18. starshine
    Good luck to you and everyone getting sleeved tomorrow!
  19. starshine
    Good luck!!! I can only imagine the nerves/excitement/doubt/hope/fear you feel right before the surgery. I'm gonna be a mess lol.

    Young Sleevers

    starshine replied to Amber's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'll be 24 when I have my surgery and I'm worried about the same thing. I'm bigger than you and have always been overweight so I'm not too optimistic about the skin thing but I'll exercise and cross my fingers I guess. Gotta keep telling myself that I should be happy to worry about loose skin because that means the fat is gone!

    How fun! Seeing how happy you look in your picture actually made me tear up a little bit. I hope to have success like yours soon.
