  2. I was sleeved in April. I wax able to eat and drink everything as scheduled and never had a problem with any food. My stomach tells me when I'm full and I've lost 90 lbs. you're perfectly normal.
  3. My journey started one year ago this month. I have lost 90 pounds. You will never regret this decision.

  5. Ask for a box when your meal comes and pack up half before you even start eating. Your stomach will tell you when you can't eat anymore.
  6. My internist says there is no scientific evidence that biotin does anything. Up your protein.
  7. My doctor let me eat salad about 7 weeks out and I had no problem.

  9. Sleeve all the way. Too much maintenance with lapband and too much reroutung with bypass. I'm two months out and eating normally, just not as much. Loving the results.
  10. My dr was very supportive but I did have to "educate " her and she asked a lot of questions to be sure I was ready. I haven't seen her since my surgery 4/9 and I have An appt this week. Can't wait to see her reaction!! For those whose drs. are against the surgery, shop around !!! It's so worth it!
  11. I've was sleeved 4/9 and since I found this website I have been trying to post the positive things I've experienced. I realize that everyone's surgery is different, and that everyone feels differently afterwards, but I hope each day gets a little better until one day you realize you feel great, have lots if energy, and are losing more weight than you've ever lost before. Each day I can walk farther, I'm down two clothes sizes And i I can cross my legs when I sit down. I try to celebrate the little things. My scale doesn't move for a few days, And then suddenly I'm down 2-3 pounds. My nutritionist helps a lot, too. For those that are having surgery, my experience is the norm. Not the exception. Just do it!
  12. Sleeved on April 9. Felt just like you. Never had any pain or complications. Feeling great. And eating normal food. Down 20 lbs. 50 total.
  13. Your dr should take an upper Gi X-ray before your surgery. They should see the hernia and will repair it.
  14. Try propolis balm (bees wax) and/or vitamin e. Rub the scars to break up the keloids.
  15. Sleeved. 4/9. I was dizzy too. Dr. Reduced my blood pressure meds and told me to drink more water. That and stall are very common. Hang in.

  17. I was sleeved April 9 and I had a great recovery. Tolerated all foods and shakes, no pain, went back to work after 2 weeks. Have lost 20 lbs. Stay positive and you'll do great.
