    Biggest surprise/regrets after surgery?

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to SeahawksGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My biggest surprise has been how uncomfortable everyone's comments make me feel. I saw someone yesterday that I hadn't seen in a while and it was just uncomfortable with all of their comments...

    Hundred pound weight loss

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to sa1976's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories

    Congrats!! I'm about 4 lbs away from that milestone and I can't wait!!

    I am only about 4.5 months post sleeve and I am one pound from my surgeon's goal and about 25 lbs from what my ultimate goal is. This skin is driving me nuts... At what point does it make sense for me to seek out a consult? I plan on having my arms, thighs, stomach, and boobs done. Right now I've still been losing 8-10 lbs per month. If I got rid of the skin, I'd be happy with where I'm currently at though.

    At what point do I seek out a consult?

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to Quest4TheNewMe's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

    Thanks for all the info! I'll be paying for it out of pocket, so it'll be a while yet anyway. I'm just not patient. LOL! I really want to get rid of these bat wings so I can start wearing short sleeves!!

    I'm a little to the north. If you look on the local chapter board, there's a thread for MN people. They do occasional get togethers, though I haven't been able to make it yet.

    Before and After Pics

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to Roserie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I won't say that I'm at "after" yet, but I'm only one pound from my surgeon's goal. I'm 4.5 months post-op and down 96 lbs since I started this journey last July. Down 53 lbs since surgery in November.
  7. Quest4TheNewMe
    I've heard a lot about the 3 week stall, but are there any other timeframes where most people seem to stall? I'm at almost 4 months post-op and things have been slow the last few weeks. I'm only 6 lbs from my surgeon's goal, but I'm still about 30 lbs from my personal goal...

    When are the "typical" stalls?

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to Quest4TheNewMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    This makes sense. I'm only about 6 lbs from the lowest weight I ever remember being, and the weight that I hung out at for quite a while (when I was 13/14/15 yrs old).

    When are the "typical" stalls?

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to Quest4TheNewMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm definitely not the type to stress when the scale doesn't move, I know to just keep sticking to the rules and it'll happen eventually. It'll be interesting to see at what weight my body decides to settle in at.
  10. Quest4TheNewMe
    I get around 650-800/day. I don't get ANY calories from protein supplements though (no shakes, no bars, etc).

    Sleeved on 12/12 - need cold medicine

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to applegal79's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    This is interesting. I was specifically told NOT to take Children's Tylenol, due to the sugar content. Each program definitely has it's own rules!

    My how the face will change!

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Given that I'm trying to fly under the radar in real life, I'm not comfortable posting full face pics on here.

    You look fantastic!! Sounds like we might be on the same timeline and around the same progress...

    Life after.....

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to Tanya Gif's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm three months post-op and I enjoy eating out just fine. I've done business lunches and such, no problem.
  15. Quest4TheNewMe
    The smallest size I ever remember being in middle/high school was a size 14. At 3 months post-op I'm wearing a size 11/12 (was in a really tight 18 when I started this journey). I think you could definitely get there.

    Calcium Citrate

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to fit4life123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I couldn't stand the Flintstones post-op either, but about 6 weeks post-op I couldn't stand my other alternative either, so now I'm back to tolerating the Flintstones.

    Breakfast: Dannon Greek yogurt Lunch: meat and cheese roll-up with spinach in the middle and a clementine Snack: Babybel cheese I eat that every single weekday.

    Sleeved on 12/12 - need cold medicine

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to applegal79's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'd check with your doc on the Mucinex pills. I don't know anything about them. When I was sick, I was told sugar free syrup.

    Calcium Citrate

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to fit4life123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I get the Bariatric Advantage chews on Amazon. The caramel ones are quite tasty!

    Sleeved on 12/12 - need cold medicine

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to applegal79's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was cleared for pills at one month. I was also cleared for Sugar Free cough syrup at 5 weeks post-op when I came down with a nasty cold. It seriously didn't go away for a MONTH.

    Dining ouy

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to wendyf4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I typically order soup/chili or a salad and just eat the toppings off of it.

    Happy birthday? No, not Happy! Rant

    Quest4TheNewMe replied to Jazmundo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    My birthday was 17 days post-op. I took two bites of cake and it tasted like plastic. I haven't had any desire for any since then. Hang in there, it gets better!! I'm three months post-op tomorrow and about 13 lbs from my surgeon's goal. It'll totally be worth it!!
