Not An Apple Anymore, Maybe A Watermelon?

I'm a jelly at the moment -
Congratulations!! It sure is a wonderful feeling. x

I'm a year post of - and drink coffee every day - perhaps max three small cups spread throughout, but I do make sure that I drink a bottle of water in between each cup, at least.

i'm a year out and I've not had pizza yet, and don't intend to... I've had jalepenos on occasion, but only when I feel the need to go to the toilet and I'm getting desperate - it does usually work! I went through a major operation to get to the other side and be a healthier person, so don't really want to jepordise that by getting in to bad habits again.

Loud angry noises coming from within?
able2cope replied to Sleevie J's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm over a year out now, and I still get the rumbling noises, in the morning and also if theres been a (too) long gap between me eating anything, or even drinking.. I'm thinking its just something that we have to get used to now, but I guess everyone is different.. -
Calories from water enhancement powders / liquids
able2cope replied to Fiddleman's topic in Food and Nutrition
I know that I wouldn't manage to get all my water in without the water enhancements... I just couldn't drink plain water - so for me it is a necessary amount of calories. -

I'm 10 months out and still on it - no hurry to be off it either.

I get days like that - usually around the time of the month... just try to fill up on the lower calorie/low carb options - depending on your way of eating

I hope that you feel better soon. Acid reflux is horrid -
I'm 9 month out and am still finding it difficult to handle certain foods - I don't like fish, beef, pork and chicken all hurt me so I'm still on the shakes at times - luckily I've found one that I like and have it with almond milk.

Sorry to hear about your day - maybe you had the spill for a reason... I'd stick to water or crystal light/generic if possible, for a wee while yet. Hope your days get better

1 year out....6 months of stall
able2cope replied to kelliecalgary's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Go see your NUT - they are there to help you. Don't feel bad - just draw a line under what has been and concentrate on what will be - and great going on losing the 108 pounds!!!!! that is a fantastic start. Well done!!! -
What I really appreciated was at bath/shower time, when I had my girls on hand to help me out etc, in to the second week I was fine with bathing alone. Just take things slowly, and rest as you need to.

Hugs to you Tigerbell. my loss is gradual, so I tend not to weigh myself too much - rather wait until I 'feel' like I've lost something then step on the scales... maybe just once every two weeks even. Sometimes its a loss of 3-4 lbs, sometimes not... but as long as I don't creep back up, then that's fine with me. I'm less than I was, and that's what counts.

Oh My you certainly have been through it. I hope you feel better soon!! x

3 years after VSG I need a total knee replacement
able2cope replied to trish4's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I also had issues with the anaesthesia during my sleeve surgery - so can appreciate your fears. As Shelle said though - you have your weight loss on your side! Thinking of you -
Almonds have calcium and b vitamins I believe... they are my choice

I'm 8 months out and couldn't contemplate having one bite... I just 'know' it wouldn't be good...
-
Scrambled eggs are the same with me... that and chicken I still have to master - and I was sleeved in October last year!
-
Apples don't agree with me either... Not many fruits do really, apart from tinned pears.

I like the hawiian punch varieties, they seem 'soft' if you know what I mean..
