Thank you so much, just got a lil bit of yogurt down.

Have had the flu for 3 days now, lost so much Fluid and can't drink enough to keep up, and I'm still running to the bathroom. Tried Imodium and it works for awhile but then it starts up again. I'm so miserable! Any advice? If not can you pray for me? I hate going to the hospital to get hydrated.

Jan 22, 40 lbs pre op, 30 lbs post op. total lost 70 lbs and still going. Stalls and all!

Depending on what I eat sometimes I have to wait an hour for it to digest before drinking. Eating and drinking can cause you to be hungry too soon.

Lol, no that is my total weight loss. 40 pre and 30 post. I'm on a stall right now, but thats ok. I can enjoy my new cloths for a little while.

Finally 8 weeks out, feeling pretty good. Went to endo this morning and am now on a U100 insulin in my pump. This is so exciting to see progress. Down 70 lbs and kinda on a stall but that's ok, as long as I see progress. Went from size 20 down to 14. Working for size 8.

I love to add canned peaches to it.

Now for the doom and gloom, sorry. I did have complications and am now at 7 weeks. It was a rough recovery and I still have problems with food. Remember, you can only eat 1/4 cup of food while everyone else is in food heaven. That being said, you make your own decision. I have a cruise coming up and am enjoying looking for smaller size cloths. I have a lot of excess skin and won't be a model but I enjoy the new energy I have now. Good luck, I know this will be a hard decision.

I have a feeling there are quite a lot. Lol

I like the chocolate, strawberry not so much

I take Nexium and still have the problem. I started drinking a glass of milk before bed and that seemed to help. It is awful. One time I verped and it burned my throat so bad I thought it would bleed. Good luck

Question, how do you shave?

How about, I soak in Dawn dish soap to cut through stubborn fat.

Coming from someone who has been married for almost 35 years. There are a lot of things to consider before making such a big decision. Is he a good husband, a good father, does he help you? Why is he so unhappy with his job, does he go even if he hates it. Will extra schooling help him improve his situation. I don't know him so I can't judge if he's good or bad. You love him so he must have some good qualities. 35 years has not been all roses but loyalty and sacrifice are all about commitment. And remember he loved you fat, how many men would do that? God bless you both!

I'm not an expert, but I think too much protein can cause gout, I would ask your Nut to be safe. Don't take our word for it. Best of luck!

I had 85% of my pancreas removed in 1990 and became a diabetic. 5 years ago what I had left stopped working and I became a type 1 with resistance. My insulin is a U500, not a U 100. I was getting a massive amount of insulin and still running in the 350 to 450's. They tried putting me on Lantus after surgery but my sugars still were high, back on pump I have more control. Still on the U500 till Monday when I see my endo. But on a fraction of what I was taking. Lost 73 lbs so far, 7 weeks out. It is harder to lose with insulin, hoping I can go a lot lower.

I used the sleeve surgery because the band is dangerous and the bypass has dumping and as a type 1, if you get a low the dumping prevents you from eating sugar to bring it back up.

My hubby has a big belly and no butt, I'd like to have them lipo suck it from his tummy to his butt. Lol

Chocolate carnation instant breakfast

I could have all the decaf I want, no problem

Isn't bacon a no no?

Some suggestions: I wore a belly band to help keep it all from jiggling around. I also had a pain ball, not sure of the technical name it is placed in your surgery site and deadens that area for a couple days. Purchase some gas x strips if you need it during recovery. The belly or compression band is like what pregnant women wear to support there tummys. The hospital supplied mine, I wouldn't move with out it. The drain can be a annoyance but I had an infection and wouldn't of caught it in time without it. It's all survivable you May not think so in the beginning but it will get better.

I don't understand how he could say the first month counts, it takes at least 8 weeks for our sleeve to completely heal. I'm at 7 weeks and still have some swelling. Your body is still in shock to what it's going through. 20 lbs is a great job, you need a pat on the back not a kick in the pants. Keep up the good work!

I changed my eggs to soft boiled for that reason. It will pass but no fun.

Well I made it to 7 weeks post op, the surgery was ok but got an infection and that made my recovery slow. Now I feel pretty good, lost 33 lbs post op, 73 lbs total. Learning what works for me and what doesn't has been a challenge but I'm getting better at this. I will be so glad when spring gets here too, need to move Unfortunately, sugars have not gotten better. This was so disappointing, see my endo Monday to get a plan of action. Was hoping to not have to get a pancreas bypass, still praying it all works out. No more surgeries would be nice. May God bless you all!
