    Takingcontrol replied to Lolliq12's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
    Wow! You did have a rough beginning..but glad it's better!

  15. Very very long-term side effects?

    Takingcontrol replied to ecip78824's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    I understand what your saying, & ur right...there isn't a great deal of research yet. However, there is in gastric bypass & that's why we have the sleeve...cause they are trying to improve & reduce the risks. And...we KNOW our lives will be shortened & we will have complications if we do not change things & get to a healthy weight. At least that was my reasoning & I'm very glad I had the procedure.

  16. Kroger Perfect Fit Meals

    Takingcontrol replied to wannabaloser's topic in Food and Nutrition
    Hmmm... I will have to check Kroger! Have you tried the Atkins frozen dinners? Walmart carries them, other store too...but their low carb too & delicious!

  26. Waterpark...NSV!

    Takingcontrol posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Went to the waterpark with my daughter & Grandkids & had a Blast!! It felt great to actually feel confident in a swimsuit in public, not worry that I was the largest person there & everyone was staring at me....& best of all...to be able to do the water slides without worrying about the weight limit!! I LOVE my sleeve!! :-D

  27. Edamame (?sp) wondering if anyone post op eats this? Do you like?

  31. 5 Day Pouch Test

    Takingcontrol replied to ChrissyP's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    The pouch test is mostly for bypass patients...sleeves don't have pouch's

  32. How is your drive ladies?

    Takingcontrol replied to prettychica13's topic in The Gals' Room

  33. Parmesan Zucchini- holy cow yum!

    Takingcontrol replied to Phoenix79's topic in Vegetarian, vegan, raw foods
    Yum! Going to try this! Thanks!

  34. so fed up right now

    Takingcontrol replied to annabelle's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
    I'm sorry too! I think it's ridiculous...if we could loose weight on our own, we wouldn't NEED the surgery!! I'm glad I wasn't required to try! Heck...I couldn't have even survived to liquid diet the week before surgery most sleeves were required to do! Good luck & keep fighting!

  35. New frozen dinner at walmart.

    Takingcontrol replied to Imjustmee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Anything Atkins has to be yummy!! I take these for work, one lasts 2 meals & their always yummy!!
