I finally made size 12!

Here is a big NSV for me, my little garden. I'm going to eat healthy and grow some of what I eat. I don't think I would have ever had the energy or motivation to do this last year. It's small, but I tilled it all by hand so it was a lot of work. I'm not done with it yet, but I've so happy with what I've got done so far.

Watch out cause it's addicting. I have added a small orchard too!

I am loosing lots but I have extremely thick hair too. Now it's average and I kinda like it but if it keeps up who knows. I am taking Biotin but my Protein is lower.

Non scale victory.

So sorry. Don't know how I forgot.

I know I am crossing over onto a sleeve sight but I have seen this NSV before but have no idea what it means...please help me out will ya?

Non surgical victory. Meaning some other victory other than the surgery.

Slowly but surely.

Tone find themselves watching hours of food network cooking shows. I'm not tempted to indulge but I'm just sitting here (hour 3) thinking why am I watching this?!

I do the same thing. Hoping it will inspire me to cook...lol.

I'm confused. What surgery did you have. I thought my the thread title you had the DS. But you said you have pouch so that makes me think you had RNY. Was just wondering which it was.

Sorry you are right. Got the wrong forum. Had the RNY.

Today I was able to weed and haul 25lbs of compost to my garden several times. Getting ready to plant my Tomato seedlings. It's very good therapy to take my mind off eating or what I can't eat anymore and put my mind on eating for health.

Sure!

I'm struggling. I'm sitting in a hospital room holding my mom's hand. Her kidneys have shut down and hospice comes tomorrow, we are taking her home. The last six weeks have been horrible. I'm hurting, tired and not taking care of myself. I have to get through this I love my mom more than any one. She is my one true constant.

So sorry. Try to look out for yourself but do what you have to do to get thru. Miracles can happen.

I doubt it's anything to worry about. Search trouble eating meats and you will see its a common complaint. Eating too fast, too much air, or too big of bites or not enough moisture. Day to day I can't whether I can tolerate meat. Was happy that I could eat canned chicken today in an Asian salad and my surgery was day after Christmas.

Tell us more of your pre-surgery diet? While I think surgery is still an option for you, your road is going to be harder. I don't believe that life is about never having anything again...but you will have consequences. The surgery will allow the choices to be easier to make but someone bent on going around it.....well then your surgery could be a waste of time. Mentally you will also face some hard times. Good luck to you.

I do not have any issues with dairy.

Wish I would of read up on salmon before last night. So sick and won't stop until it was all gone.

Wow...how scary! I am glad that you said it was no big deal though. Glad you are on the mend.

It can't hurt to sign up for the seminar. As research is recommended before you chose a surgeon.

Congrats!

Surgery was 9 days ago and left, lower incision pain is almost unbearable. Stabbing, burning and pain like I've never experienced in my life. Called physician's office and nurse said everybody experiences this pain and it will stop when it stops. Not very comforting. Anyone else going thru this?

Had burning pain but it lasted a few seconds and stopped. I have read of other having pain when a nerve was cut or stitched. You can search and finds these threads.

Hi, my stats are similar and my doc says iam right on track and doing great. I think many of us no matter how much research thought we would drop 40 to 50 lbs right off. I went through classes and never heard of such a slow loss as 25lbs in 7 weeks. However many were a lot heavier. I was able to eat all kinds of things within weeks after surgery but now my pouch is changing that. Had my first true vomiting when I ate some processed meat that I was able to eat weeks earlier. Also smelled my Protein shake that never smelled before . I guess it just took time for my pouch to talk back.

I was also embarrassed to return to work because I didn't think I lost enough. However when I look at it realistically I wasn't able to loose more than 15lbs dieting many months before surgery. I will be happy as long as I keep losing and building my strength. Still learning but getting smaller.
