From St. Mary's county. Had my surgery March 11 at Johns Hopkins Bayview by Dr. Nguyen. Love the doctor, a little let down by the administrative staff.. nice people but they need to get it together.

jkfletch82 reacted to Keepgoing247 in back pain
I was having back pain, it would get worse at night and after I would eat. I was having gallbladder issues. I now take a RX for the gallbladder and the back pain gone!
Just thought I'd throw that out there just incase it isn't due to a change in positron, etc.

Down 48 :-) my only complaint is back pain. Oh yeah and I still can't tolerate bread. That makes me kind of sad, but it could be worse.

How much have you lost so far? I'm down about 40lbs. I have been stalling off and on since week 2. It seems if I don't exercise I don't lose so I try to walk 4 days a week.

I feel fantastic. I have so much more energy and so much less pain already. it's like even if I don't lose another pound I already feel like a winner. Of course, I HOPE I lose many many more pounds

jkfletch82 reacted to Satchel in When is it okay to eat nuts?
My nutritionist told me that I could eat anything now, however, I have been reluctant to eat things like nuts, salads, and uncooked veggies since they are harder to digest.

My doc said after 9 weeks it's ok to slowly introduce nuts and fresh fruits and veggies. Everyone clearly has different orders so I would check with your doc or nutritionist.

Has anyone else had the "joy" of sticking themselves in the belly with these shots? So tired of feeling like a pin cushion!

Thank you too all for the positive feedback. Everyday it does get a little better. I can't say I am100% better, but I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. This is a temporary small sacrifice I must make to get to a healthy me. I still don't feel like I will ever stop missing red yummy bad for you food, only time will tell. Thanks again!

Oh yeah, I'm missing food. I dream about food almost every night. I'd sure love a slice of pizza, but I just keep telling myself this post op diet isn't forever I will be able to enjoy food again, but now instead of eating half a pizza ill be satisfied with a slice or less when are you cleared to start regular foods? I have one more week to go and I can start introducing soft foods
Btw I like your username jkfletch

jkfletch82 got a reaction from sandy'ssleeve in Blah
I recently had my surgery on March 11th. I thought I was mentally and emotionally ready for the surgery, but was sadly mistaken. I feel like I am in my own hell. I miss food! I know I had the surgery for a good reason. I have a two year old son that I would like to be able to get out and play and keep up with. Every part of me just wants to pick up some french fries and chow down but I scare myself out of it. Did I really go through all of this just to go back to my old ways? Will I ever stop missing "the good stuff". I am so tired of greek yogurt, sugar free pudding and mashed potatoes. Not to mention the funky Protein Shakes that I can get about 75% in before I am ready to barf just from the taste. I am afraid to eat too much and I don't know if I have ever reached that "full feeling". I want pizza, hot dogs and FRIES! I miss my occasional soda, coffee with caffene (sp). My dad had the surgery three weeks before mine and all of this doesn't seem to bother him. Well, if it does, he isn't telling me about it. As you can see the food is my biggest issue, obviously or I wouldn't have had the surgery. I am pleased with the weight loss, just wish it didn't come to wls to get some results. Feeling down and depressed.
