  3. Thanks - I took two tums- first in a year/. I was worried they would stretch my sleeve
  4. Hi , I am almost a year out and down 135+lbs. I had a tough go as a sleever , but learned what to eat and how to adjust. Along with my sleeve I had a hiatal hernia operation. I thought this would solve my heartburn and acid reflux issue. Last few weeks heartburn has been creeping up again and rather painful. Any advice it thoughts? Zantac ? Milk? Tums? Help!!!
  5. Just checking in : 2 more weeks. 1/1/13 - 221 Today 193 Goal 185 8 lbs to go Total loss from 10/22 sleeve - 107 lbs. How is everyone doing?
  6. Thank you everyone. The weight is coming off. It has been 3 months since surgery and down 88 lbs. I had a rough bout of kidney stones a month after surgery. I still have a hard time eating. And will vomit once a week. The good thing is killing me because nothing tastes good or digest well. It all sits in my stomach. I keep hearing it will get better. But I want to just enjoy something that doesn't ale me feel ill after the first bote

  8. Checking I with new weight - TW: 212 Goal 4/1- 185 27 lbs to go.
  9. Going4it-- Ok well about a week shy of my 3 month anniversary and down over 85 lbs. my bathroom issues are still there but not too serious. I still have a horrible time with Isopure- and Protein drinks as whole. Boost light is Ok. I take flu stone chewable Vitamins. Water has been my best friend. As for food, I definitely not doing great. Most food tastes horrible and I am still unable to eat a whole scramble egg in one sitting. I have fat from a perfect diet, but trying to be better. Regrets? Still have some... I really do miss food. The social and emotional aspects. And the enjoyment - I would never have list 85 lbs in 3 months without it. I do get compliments which make me feel good but some days I wish there wasn't so much restriction. I have very few things I can eat- and can actually go a day or two without eating anything.
  10. I am in too - made my new year goal 225 lbs TW 221.2 New goal 185 lbs Total loss since sleeve 10/22 78 lbs
  11. Congrats to all who made it. I am .4 lbs away from goal. After this 1/2 lb. I will be down 75 lbs since surgery (10/22) and half way to my final goal
  12. Still struggling - Cannot eat or deal with protien drinks
  13. I am on my 7th week pot opt and still unable to eat. I am OK with Water (cold) and suffering with everything else - Protein Drinks, Vitamins, food. Everything tastes horrible, and even Jello sits in my stomach like a rock. I even developed kidney stones. Anyone have any similar problems. Pre opt- 300 Suregery 280 10/22 Current 241
