  1. Should be out soon!!! Btw tried coffee since I was nervous.... Huge mistake!!! Mine and his surgeon says before she takes him in as I'm puking into his preop trashcan serves you right I told you so... Gotta love Dr.Hawver!
  2. Cheated twice I didn't get caught I was scared to not get my surgery if you slip instead if beating yourself up and causing more stress to cause cheating again move on and try again
  3. A extension cord for your phone charger outlets are never close enough to the bed. Phone charger your own shampoo and conditioner and extra britches incase your sutures leak. Buy a box of alcohol wipes smelling them helps with nausea
  4. I agree they can give you zofran and even Valium for nausea. Stay away from all dairy for a week and see if that is what causing it. Lots of people can't handle dairy after this. I couldn't handle protein shakes I switched over to isopure sickly sweet so I diluted with water but, they don't make me gag or give me diarrhea. Prayers for you.
  5. Know how horrible it is watching people eat in Front of you. Thinking about going on it again with him but, im so sick of soup!!! At least I won't be starving this time around.
  6. You look great!!! Just had to let ya know!!!
  7. I feel like I'm a science experiment and it's people that are size 5 who ask what my starting weight is.
  8. I started at 141 and am 190 and my goal is a size 10 also I'm in a 18 now but I am 5ft so it's ginna take a while to get there surgeons goal for me is 120
  9. Or my second favorite question what was your starting weight? How rude!
  10. I have been very open with the fact I was having the wls but, now every time I see or talk to anyone within the first 5 minutes I get " the question" how much have you lost. It's very annoying just don't see why they can't say hey you look great and leave it.
  11. I also started a group called gastric sleeve journey
  12. My 6 week shirt that wouldn't button before surgery the one I was so proud to get into is loose!!! I can find space in arms belly and to my hubby's dismay boobs.
  13. So happy for you! Glad your team says your on track.
  14. I wouldn't say clots are major I ended up with 3 if you take care of them do what they say it's more of a maintenance issue.
  15. I think every dr is different. I only had to start them after I got my clot I use them and take Coumadin I will be on them for the next 5 months.
  16. I take lovanox twice daily they come pre filled IRS easy and they don't hurt you will be bruised from them though.
  17. It's been up and down I had a few complications but, still would do it over again. He is ready he took his ore-op diet more serious than I did he's lost 35lbs in 3 months.
  18. I will be on at least 6 months and anything high in vitamin k makes your blood thicker and makes the Coumadin less effective. So its not forever just a bit.
  19. Thanks I was sleeved sept 4.
  20. Nov 12 my husband starts his journey and I am so happy we are going to support each other and be role models for our family to be happy, healthy, and active.
  21. My lack of banana is due to medication not the sleeve. Still a bummer I love bananas.
