    Sleevarilla got a reaction from Fiskgyrl in How long did you wait to weigh yourself after vsg?   
    Weight fluctuates a *lot* after surgery, so I did not weigh myself until my 2 week appointment with my surgeon.

    Just wait until the pot heads get to fatty status from all the munchies. Then there will be change.
    I'm not apologizing if that offended anyone. Get over it. It's a joke.

    Sleevarilla got a reaction from senekua in 11days out and not sure what the heck I'm doing!   
    I'm going to disagree with "hop on a scale." Give your body time to heal. Everyone gains weight when they are in the hospital, almost everyone has a stall at week 2-3 post-op. If you're worried about what the scale says, this stall will generally be more frustrating. Frustration is NOT what you need when your body is recovering from major surgery. Just take it easy on yourself, surgeons understand about gaining weight while you're in the hospital and they know about the stalls. Also, remember that your surgeon works for you, you hired him/her. They didn't hire you. Don't ever be intimidated to ask them questions, even if they are tough questions. This is your body, your surgery, your journey. You get to take it the way you want, not the way anyone else wants. Your body will take about 6-8 weeks to heal, cut yourself some slack, rest and listen to your body right now. The weight will come off, and it doesn't have to happen the first 2 months after surgery.

    Sleevarilla got a reaction from Trillium in Sugar free diet yet against aspartame   
    I told my surgeon the first time I met him that I would not eat anything sugar-free or fat-free due to the processing and chemicals. He said he didn't care as long as I got my Protein in. I think a lot of the material we are given as sleeve patients was originally for bypass patients, since they suffer dumping.
    To answer your question about weight loss, I am losing steadily and do not seem to be suffering for my choice to not go sugar-free, low-fat, fat-free, etc. Even if this means I lose a little slower than others, who cares? I have to be comfortable with what I put in my body and I am not going the processed food route.

    cool, another chance to do my copy/paste ... but I'll add that what did you expect your body to do after major surgery? This isn't a magical thing, this still takes work. Anyway, here's my copy/paste... (again)
    AWESOME!! I get to do my copy/paste AGAIN!!
    Aww.. I haven't gotten to copy/paste my copy/paste in a while!! Thanks for the opportunity!!
    I'll just copy/paste the copy/paste I did less than a week ago:
    I'll just copy/paste the answer I gave to someone else less than a week ago who asked the same thing:
    A search will show you dozens ... and dozens ... of threads about the stall that happens around week 2-3 post-op. Your body just had major surgery. Give it a break and relax and get well. Put the scale away and don't bring it out again for a couple of weeks. Be good to yourself, let yourself heal. Stalls happen all the time, this isn't a sprint it's a marathon.

    Sleevarilla reacted to finediva in 12 says post op, best I've felt, yet regret I did it   
    Look, step far away from the regret. Did you? Good. It's wasted energy, and will only serve to make you feel worst about this wonderful decision you made to get healthy. So, it will get 100% better, soon. For the first ten days I was allowed Water and broth. Period. I felt like a wet rag. On day eleven I drank some skim milk. OMG! You would of thought I ate a full course meal! My body responded both physically and mentally. So, IT WILL GET 100% BETTER, SOON. Best.

    Sleevarilla got a reaction from alwaysvegas in What size is your sleeve?   
    36fr.
    The size difference between a 32fr and a 40fr is negligible. There is a picture guide around, if you care to google (use bougie size as your keyword). Mine, according to that chart, is roughly the size of a sharpie (without the lid)

    Sleevarilla got a reaction from KristenVSG2014 in 5 days post op, serious bathroom time...   
    My surgeon's rules were: no more than 5 episodes of diarrhea per day. More than that and I needed to call. It's common to have diarrhea post-op, but too much greatly increases your risk of dehydration. Fluid in/fluid out. But, no more than 5 times a day. I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital until I passed gas. And, once it started, it didn't seem to want to stop ... until the diarrhea started. Learn from me, padawan ... never trust a fart.< /p>

    Just because you *can* eat a lot doesn't mean you *should*. You have to measure out your food and set boundaries for yourself. You won't feel great restriction with the sleeve until you move on to soft foods. pureed slides through pretty easily.
