  1. There will be stalls but you will start losing again. Hang in there continue the water and eating right!
  2. It sounds like stomach virus! I went through the same thing last week. I just had to let it run it's course and took nause meds left over from surgery. Minds only lasted 24 hrs. I hope you feel better real soon. If not, go to doctor.
  3. Hey, I had my hernia repaired during surgery. I had a few complications the first four months couldn't keep nothing down. I don't think it had anything to do with the hernia. Don't worry all will be okay. Congrats on getting your sleeve soon and joining the losers bench! Woo hoo!
  4. I got my sleeve Dec 3, 2012. Wow time flies. Yes there is pain but if you have children, it's like that. It hurt but it's so worth it. Everyone pain tolerance is different. Some feel little some feel a lot, some feel none. So don't worry, before you know it you will be on your road to recovery and focusing on menus and shopping lol. I started out 226 @ 5'6. Now I am 150. Soooo happy. Wishing you the best and remember its a tool we still need to eat healthy and exercise. I don't exercise much. I walk is basically my exercise. Everyone is different. Welcome to the losers bench!
  5. Don't be discouraged, you will go thru some stalls on this journey of losing weight. You will start back losing.. Just keep on drinking plenty water, exercising and eating healthy. Good luck! You are doing great!

  7. I suffer with chronic back pain due to degenerate disk disease. Before I lost my weight, the doc encouraged me to lose weight and I would feel better. Ok, why do My back feel just as bad as when I had the weight on. Anyway, just needed to vent as I take these pain meds and put this ten unit on.
  8. walk, walk and more walking help ease that gas pain. Welcome to the losers bench!
  9. . I am ten months out now, but when I was four month out my stomach would hurt so bad and constant throwing up. I had to have another upper GI scope. My sleeve had to be stretch due to my sleeve being too tight. I pray that meds or stretching of your sleeve will help.keep us updated! Praying for you!
  10. I do a protein shake once a day to replace a meal but still eat food. I am ten months out and have reached my dr goal but would love to lost 25 more to reach my goal.
  11. no it suppose to be clear liquids!l
  12. it may not be the best advice for you!,,, but it work for me and I have reached my goal! I am living in the present at my goal! I eat healthy and feel great!
  13. it consist of being put to sleep, about five minutes then putting a light down my throat to look inside my tummy to see how my sleeve was healing. He inset rated an instrument to stretch my sleeve just a little, I told him not much lol, cause I didn't want room to overeat, but wide enough to keep me from throwing up. My sleeve was staple too tight!
  14. Happy Birthday! Enjoy that slice of cake and ice cream too. Then dance it off lol!
  15. Try to stand or sit when you are eating. You said you were lying flat on your tummy! Your tummy is smaller now and needs room to digest. Are you throwing up! I am nine mts out and in the first four months I experience some of your symptoms but throwing up daily. I had to have another upper GI and they had to go in and stretch my sleeve cause it was too narrow. Be sure to eat slowly and don't eat and drink at the same time. I pray you can get some type of insurance because you suppose to follow up with your surgeon the next five years. If it's concerning your sleeve the ER doctor most likely will refer you back to your surgeon. I pray everything will turn out good. Keep us posted!
  16. Hello, I was the same way, I am nine months out. My surgeon said that to eat every two hours. He said more is less. Eat six small meals and get your fluids in. It works! You are doing fine and be sure to walk or some form of exercise several times a week. No worries the weight will come off! At times you will have a stall. Try not to weight daily. Maybe once a week? Yes, the hungry pains will come back and sometimes ai may drink Water or a Protein drink if I am not hungry!

    I had the same procedure done in April! I had my surgery done in Dec. I was told a lot of people go through this. My symptoms were nausea, throwing up , hard to shallow , felt like food was getting stuck. My side hurt. It didn't matter what I ate, I threw it up. Sometimes I didn't eat due to feeling so bad and was throwing up. That's the worst! After, he went in and strength my sleeve a little,all was well! Thank God!
  18. I use sugar free creamer! Love it!
  19. I took six weeks off! I wanted to make sure I was finish passing gas lol! We all grown in here. It's reality, after surgery they pump your stomach with gas and you will be walking and passing gas. Yes it smell! So glad I am pass that stage. Keep some gas x or sonething! I enjoyed my time off adjusting to this new tummy and what my body can tolerate. Our taste buds do change. Good luck to all newbies! No turning back now this is the best thing you can do for yourself and health!
  20. Hey Dec Sleevers! I have no regrets either! Yes, it's awesome being in one hundred land! I was so thrilled when I got there? You doing great will be there before you know it! I have reached my dr goal but not minds yet! Yes, the weight has slowed but I am okay with that because I am healthy and feeling great? It seems like on a daily base coworkers ask how much you Lost? I just smile and say, girl I don't even know. Just put my clothes on and if they don't fit, just buy more. That way, they will get the hint, stop asking me lol! Some are happy, some are haters! I care less I am happy and rocking my sleeve! Be blessed everyone! Oops speaking of vitamins, I have to remember to take it. Hate taking vitamins. Thinking if doing the gummy ones or flint stones. I saw that on the list, but I think gummy was not on there. Have anyone tried gummy vitamins.
