    Hysterectomy

    I had a hysterectomy 6 months before my sleeve and am doing great. I'm 37 so to avoid menopause am taking 2mg of estrogen.
  5. Don't stress this is all par for the course especially with all you've been through lately. Keep your spurts up. This too shall pass.
  6. I vomited so much I thought I was dying! Seriously considered begging my surgeon to put my stomach back. But after the 4th day I felt like a new woman.

    I can't figure put how to add people from my phone. Please add me Fitvers. Thanks!
  8. I'm a little over 3 months out and have lost around 69 lbs (49 since surgery). I still see a fat girl in the mirror and am really struggling to see what everyone else sees. My clothes don't fit anymore and I know I'm losing but hoping to see it myself someday. I do get cranky at times not because I'm hungry but I think I miss certain foods at times. With that said I'd do it again in a second. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I have a ton of energy and have noticed I hate sitting still!

    Upset.

    I'm 3 months out and was just thinking the same. It's a lot tougher than I thought it would be. I don't think you can ever be really prepared for all the changes. It really grinds on my nerves when someone insinuates i took the "easy" way out. An alcoholic and a smoker can have moments where they give into temptation. We cant this soon out even if we wanted to. Hang in there. It's going to be worth it.
  10. I'm 5'3 starting weight 267, dos 247 and today 198. Total loss so far 69lbs 49 since surgery. Sleeved 10/03/12. It's been harder than I expected but worth it.
  11. Are you pre or post op? My first time traveling post op was a struggle. I ended up surviving off Greek yogurt and protein drinks. You can do this. It's hard but so worth it!
  12. I take bariatric fusion vitamins in orange cream flavor. I get them from my doc but have seen them on amazon. They're not bad as far as vitamins go.
  13. Almost there!!! 200.... Onederland by tomorrow?

    Is Feeling Ravenous Normal?

    I am 8 weeks out and am feeling the same. I asked my surgeron about it yesterday and he said it's different for everyone and not to worry as long as I maintain restriction. I hate It! I've noticed that it arrives on schedule right before meal time and I feel like I could eat a horse. It's frustrating because I am bursting full with less than 1/4 cup. I had hoped to be one of the lucky ones who have no hunger. I get all of my water in, only eat protein (over 60 gms/day), no snacking and am taking a PPI twice a day. Not sure what else to try.
