Depressed, disappointed, regretful...
FishingNurse replied to July23sleeved's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This is only temporary! it will all be worth it in the end!! -
Congrats!! Very exciting!!
-
you're welcome!! Reality is: being on a "diet" sucks. Being healthy and normal is possible! I have pretty much weighed the exact same for 11 months with this philosophy. I will not go back to my old ways and gain weight but I am enjoying life and don't have to worry about staying under 1200 calories to weigh 130lbs.

sounds awesome! Not everyone wants/ needs to be very thin, I couldn't be happier ! Keep me posted on your progress !
-
thank you! Your posts are always a good read, and you're an inspiration for me! Yes I am a huge fisher lady :-)

Generic Omeprazole
FishingNurse replied to carma2013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also take omeprazole everyday, and actually twice a day sometimes. I have since 2006. My gerd got worse post sleeve, and that's not uncommon. -
long term data on vsg ?
FishingNurse replied to ccm2n's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My mom had stomach cancer 23 years ago and basically had 3/4 of her stomach removed. She went from 190lbs to 125lbs and has been there since. She has been normal and healthy since, she eats small portions just like me....... -
love your posts Kathy!!! Always good to see you here :-)
-
I agree!!
-
I am 5'4"

thank you, You have been a big inspiration to me!
-
everyone is different. The reason I don't want to be 130 is I would have to diet and constantly worry and count calories. Regain would be a constant worry and battle for me. There are tons of sleevers that make it down to normal weight! Don't give up. How far out are you?
-
Thanks!!
-
thanks!! I feel the same way about you!
-
Thank you!! I was lucky, my surgeon was honest and told me to shoot for 175 with the sleeve and that would be a good result. He advised if I wanted to weigh 130lbs I should get the RNY, but my quality of life and health might not be as good. I feel normal ! That's all I wanted!

Why does everyone else have preop testing?

Deep thought for the day
FishingNurse replied to TES's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm with Laura, and if it was frozen and on a stick, my fave! -
It wasn't around before I was sleeved but I have seen success with it, (a friend and a patient-- I am a RN) Your appetite really is suppressed with it. My problem with this is.... (I have taken phentermine in the past... part of Qysemia)... I would end up not wanting to take it cause I wanted to eat!! Lol

Weight loss VS Roller coasters
FishingNurse replied to Stef_L's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I am pretty sure when I was a size 22-24 I was still able to ride all the rides at Valley Fair (big theme park in MN) I weighed 260ish at 5'4''... See my pre-op pics on my profile, especially the one where I am standing. I think you will be ok! -
For Vets or 6 months post op!
FishingNurse replied to kim2002's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
YES! I enjoy all the same things, about half the quantity as before, and I choose more wisely. (2 years out) -
Paranoia - Can it/does it/should it, ever go away?
FishingNurse replied to NtvTxn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 2 years out, my hunger came back at 5-6 months post op. real hunger! But it hasn't hindered me too much. I am within 4- 5 pounds of my goal/ low weight. :-) -
