VSG success-vets, how do you stop losing weight?
I am only just beginning but this was one of my first questions for the dietician. She told me not to eat bigger meals but to just add one more meal when I'm ready for maintenance

Swinsuit season makes me so mad at myself
Me too. Costumes always make me so upset. The sizing on those things never work right. I usually get frustrated and give up or sew my own This year I plan on trying lots of them on at the store

Swinsuit season makes me so mad at myself
I actually tried on a pair of shorts I bought two summers ago that were so tight I only wore them once. Two months ago I couldn't zip them. Tonight I put them on and had extra room. ????????

Dumping... Is it only from sweets?
My doctor told me that is a common misconception. Dumping is when your body reacts to a quick change in your sugar levels so it "dumps" insulin. This causes increased heartbeat, dizziness, and a general bad feeling. It can last for up to an hour. I had not heard high fat causes this as well. I am feeling better now

Hysterectomy & Sleeve at the same time Questions
Like others I have had both and I can't see doing them at the same time. I actually think my hysterectomy recovery was worse than sleeve. I hope they keep you in several days to a week with pain pump. I will definitely pray for a quick recovery for you. Will you have plenty of help once you get home?

Holy sleeve!
This sounds just like my story. I'll be four weeks tomorrow and yesterday was the first time I felt like going and doing all day. So I guess it eventually gets better. I'm just hoping I can get in the gym this week and exercise for more time. I've just gotten worn out so quickly every time I've been

side pain
My doc says the same. However I've learned that if I take a stool softener and get things moving, the pain goes away until the next time things get blocked up. It's worth a try

Help me put my ice cream machine to use post op!
I was told no fresh fruit chunks for several weeks after. But this sounds good. If you find any good uses

what did the nutritionist say?!
Right! I was told to stay around four ounces.

Has anyone ever tried these
I have been using them but I'm only three weeks out so I can't tell if they help or not. As far as taste, they're a little tart but not too bad
