Kelly1334

A guy I met pre surgery sent me a video of a concert. In the background he was telling his friend about me who I had also met. While describing me he called me "that big girl Kelly". His friend responded with oh yea she's really pretty! He said "she's lost over 50lbs she looks even better now". He doesn't even know I heard this Convo because be was so drunk on the video... I think I'm offended by the "big girl" comment. But at the same time he's the one who asked me for my number and took me out and asked me out numerous times after (which I now know why my instinct told me no way). If he's the one who asked me out numerous times how much could 50lbs really have bothered him? Needles to say I feel he's not in that great of shape to be referring to anyone as 'that big girl' lol

Turns out I was severely dehydrated! I did the barium swallow and all is good. 13 hours if fluids in he ER and I'm back to normal. Fluids fluids fluids! The puking was the beginning of the dehydration from a migraine I had and it just got worse

Ends up I was severely dehydrated. It took 13 hours of fluids to get me back to normal! Feeling good again and gettin all my fluids in! That was horrible!

I've been so naucious/uncomfortable the last few days! I feel almost post op again. Water is hard to tolerate and so is soft food. My doctor thinks it's bc I haven't had a bowl movement all week but I'm going in for an X-ray test tomorrow just to be 100% it's not a leak. Anyone experience extreme constipation that made them this naucious?

Yes I take it everyday and the last two ice also taken Pepcid since I've been vomiting. I tried Gatorade today and it seems to be ok. I guess ill try some Gatorade for te next few days and slowly get back on solids

I'm five weeks out and I've been experiencing the same thing. All the sudden I'm vomiting when eating the same foods. Today I'm focusing on getting fluids and Protein Shakes in and I will try with soft foods again tomorrow

I'm almost five weeks out and I've been drinking water around the clock. I don't like flavored drinks they're too sweet but now water hurts! It's uncomfortable and makes me burp/feel nauseous. Any suggestions? Anyone else feel like this?

I've lost 42lbs in a short period of time and everyone is calling me 'skinny girl' lately. The guys i date, people at work, and my family. I kinda just smile and say thanks bc i dont know how to react. I always get called beautiful but never skinny. It's so awkward to hear. it makes me uncomfortable. I felt more comfortable at an Xxl then a large. Anyone else feel uncomfortable with their new body?

I was post op one month on march 28th. I'm down a total of 42lbs. From the nutritionist and the sleeve. I'm excited to see where ill be at two months from now. I have 18lbs until I reach my second goal. Time is flying by!

Great job!

Same here. Nothing appeals or tastes right. Sweets and fast food doesn't even look close to good anymore. In dying for a salad but have to wait another month or so. I know I'm not getting enough nutrition even though I'm forcing myself to eat and drink.

Yea my periods been lasting longer only down two lbs this "period" of time. Looking outward for it to be over so I can get back to the big time weight loss.

I'm due for my period this weekend and I'm feeling/looking bloated. I also only lost 3lbs this week ( compatrd to 24 the previous weeks).I'm three weeks out. Everyone says I keep looking thinner but I feel yucky this week. Has anyone else experience slower weight loss with their period looming?

Embrace it and have fun. We all know as a hole society values looks at first glance. We also know looks don't hold attention for very long. Enjoy the attention but remember looks aren't everything

Yea I think every doc is different. My doctor told m to hit the gym the day I was discharged. Although I chose to walk instead he said there was "nothig I could do to hurt what he did"...stil find that hard to believe lol

I'm not married but as a child of parents who faught non stop I feel I can weigh in (no pun intended). Vows or not children know when your parents are not happy and it takes a toll on then as well. If its not a healthy situation for you then odds are it's not for your Kids either. It sounds like you've worked tirelessly your kids will acknowledge that. My parents divorced and after I had a better relationship with both parents being in a house with much less conflict. You know the right answer, only you live your life day to day. Don't be afraid to care for yourself te way you care for others. Good luck, thinking of you in these hard times. Xx

Congrats!
