BCBS Please be quick! Any pointers to make time go fast?
pjpanda replied to amsterp's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have bcbs, got an answer within 2 days. as for making time pass, I suggest a movie marathon or play tourist for the day, anything really to occupy your mind. -
joining a gym today!

I'd have to agree, most things are now too sweet for me (and I had a huge sweet tooth) I also can not handle Ice cream anymore. It used to upset my stomach if I ate a whole bowl, now just a bite sends my stomach into fits. as for new things, nothing really stands out as I haven't really tried anything new.

NSV - Went to costco to get protien bars with the family, they decided we should eat at costco. I wanted the Pizza but instead got the berry Smoothie (and only got it filled halfway)

Congrats on reaching ONEderland!

okay Checking in: SW 225, current weight 213, Original goal was 205, I know I'm not going to hit that as I would have to lose 8 lbs this coming week (doable but not likely) so I'm shooting to hit 210 by July 4th. (don't change goal on the sheet though)

ONEderland is creeping up on me - less the 15 lbs till I hit it!

May 19-23 Sleevers, Roll Call!

I know I'm not eating enough, I'm just not hungry. Oh well, I may have to force myself to eat. The good news is I found out that decaf iced tea is something my body loves to drink. I drink about 26 oz of it a day currently (and it counts as water for me). I'm also looking into a gym to get my exercise in. -

Knowing what you know now.......
pjpanda replied to mochax's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
buy containers (if you don't have any already) to store leftovers in, you will have them. Get in the habit now of researching reasturants before you go so you know what is good to eat (when you get to that stage) -
GaHH just realized I put my weight down wrong. It's CW: 215 not 225. Oops!
-
Yay! tomorrow makes a month for me, down 25 lbs in one month.
-
maybe but Orange juice is the one thing I crave when I'm sick/don't feel good or about to start my period. as for the cabbage, It does have a lot of Vitamin C (as does oj) so maybe that's it.
-
Almost forgot to weigh in - been a busy week. Spent most the week stalled. CW 225. I think that's a loss of 2 lbs. maybe I lb this week but the scale is moving again and it's 25 total lbs in a month since surgery so I think that's pretty darn good.
-
The weirdest? I've always hated to sleep/lay on my stomach but after surgery (and when I came home) the pressure from laying on my stomach feels good. I'm also craving stuff I normally don't like (like orange juice and cabbage)

The relief of the revisit
pjpanda replied to gottagonow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it is normal, you may need to wait a few months and try again. For me right now, I don't handle beef well. Chicken and ham I'm good but beef likes to revisit me. -
Could my body reject surgery?
pjpanda replied to Sassypants92201's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is it a rash or hives? I recently found out that I'm allergic (mildly Thankfully) to Benadryl, It's possible it's something in the shakes but it also could be your body more sensitive to your regular detergent/soap/ etc. I know that my body chemistry has changed and my regular detergent irritates my skin if I don't let my clean clothes sit for a day or two first. -

Yes, I use the multi-vites by Vitafusion, Fruit flavored and I haven't noticed an aftertaste. -

week 4: how is everyone? I'm a bit nauseous and having trouble keeping things down.. Seem to have also hit my first stall but also could be due to my TOM being due any day now. -
Are your family & friends telling you to stop losing weight?
pjpanda replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Mine aren't but then again, I'm only 3 1/2 weeks post op so I've barely started to lose weight (about 10% weight loss). -
Everything makes me nauseated
pjpanda replied to Happygoomom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh I am so glad I found this. I'm about 3 and 1/2 weeks post op and the thought of putting anything in my body makes me want to throw up. I can handle a little bit of water - only if it's ice cold and frozen works the best. I can tolerate chicken but that's about it, everything else makes me sick including the protein shakes. -
Tried to look at the data-- forgot my starting and goal lol it says file not found Hmm...when I clicked on the link above, the one embedded in your message, it opened right up. Can someone else chip in and let us know whether you can see the file or not? I'll try to troubleshoot, but need to know if no one can see it or if only some of you are having trouble. THANKS! I can see the file with all the info

Surgery was Wednesday, Is today Day 3 or 4?
pjpanda replied to SnohoGal98296's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my doc said it was the day after surgery that was day one. (but then again I couldn't have water till then).
