Thin Within

I see a lot of North Ft Worth, Dallas & surrounding cities but not a lot from south Ft Worth & it's surrounding cities. Are there any local support groups for this neck of the woods?

Atkins pb cups are soooo good!

Does iced tea count as water? I get about 100 oz of that a day usually. But I have noticed that while my body may love carbs...it doesn't like them. So I have had to really try to restrict on my carbs for the most part to see if that helps get me out of this slump.

I bent over earlier to pick something up and I'm pretty sure I pulled an abdominal muscle by my incision on the left. HOLY CRAP! Sneezing, getting up or down. ..anything that uses uour stomach muscles...really, really hurts now. Sleeping is gonna suck!

Mine only lasted about a week. Just had to take it easy and used pain meds at night. And ice.

Only down 20. :/ I need your tips. What are you eating cause clearly I'm doing something wrong.

Heck I still have hard time getting more than 10 min on treadmill. But I feel myself slowly losing.

Have any of you post-oppers done this? I am considering doing it once I am cleared to exercise but wanted to see if anyone ekse had tried it.

I'm only two weeks out.

It's just crazy. All I did was bend over, nothing strenuous!

Anyone know what do they do at sleeve post op visit?

Don't have to do a nasty swallow test do we???

Who all will be having surgery here this day?

They are private rooms.

Oh I hope not! What is it that makes you think think that you have?

I didn't get a binder. I haven't used anything yet. I know my staples come out Thursday.

I had a really rough couple of days last week and as the week went on every day got better. I just had an enormous amount of nausea and gas pain. More nausea. So I haven't eaten a whole lot other than the water, some crystal light, a little bit of protein shake. I'm going to try to bring in the broth today. I'm starving though. I think my weight at the hospital before the surgery was 264 and my weight this morning is 249. I can get up and move around and go for a walk and do all that but I've noticed if I'm on my feet for extended amount of time, I get light headed and start to feel bad. I can only assume it's from not taking enough calories in to really be burning energy.

My doctor was Dr.Kim

Well I'm almost twice your age but sure hope I can get similar results.

Sounds like you might have low blood sugar.

How young are you?

You look amazing! I can only hope for results like that.

Me too. Have to be there in 5hrs but can't sleep. Good luck!

Is it weird that I'm not nervous?
