sleep tight Sue !!!

@@Vsglady OMG your'e so funny !!! I'm sorry you had some issues !!! But I"m so glad you're happy with the surgery !! It's amazing huh? You can't believe it really happened !!

@@elturner ... I had my surgery 16 days ago. I lost 12 lbs in a week, then gained 2. In the past 9 days I would lose those two pounds, gain those two pounds and stall on many days.... I felt like it was just like every other diet I was on .. I was not going to lose, that I failed this surgery. But honestly, our bodies are adjusting. I know you don't want to hear that, and I didn't want to hear that, but it's the truth!.
So what is getting me through it? Look at the success board, or look at the veterans boards. Look how much weight everyone has lost. They have all gone through stalls and made it through. This is part of the process and we just have to go through it Just hang in there.. and don't get depressed.. because everyone has made it through and so will you !!!!

Hi everyone just wanted to share a "good thing" before I went in for surgery I ordered a Medical ID Bracelet from Lauren's Hope. Mine is a silver I'd with black velvet and pearls and silver. lH bracelets are interchangeable with the ID plate. My ID is imprinted with my name, gastric sleeve, VSG, no blind NG tubes and my ICE phone number. They have a huge assortment and many that don't scream medical iD. I think they may also have necklaces. I hope we never need them but our bodies have changed and this could be a good thing to have.

Thanks every one for your support and knowledge about the " three week stall". I will make sure I get my heart rate up and get through this! I will over come! Lol

Thanks for the heads up! I'm only one week out, but I can watch for signs of that stall and be proactive in the upcoming weeks.

Omg the dog food smells so good! (One week what? Post OP!) went to one week post op and only lost one pound since surgery but I'm not too concerned since I had some problems after surgery with swelling and then the medicine they used to reduce the swelling caused my potassium to be nonexistent which caused symptoms that mimic blood clots..which led to some extra time in the hospital. Anyway, on a really much brighter note, apparently I had a huge hernia and by just repairing that I have so much more energy and can breathe so much better. Without sleeve surgery would any dr have picked it up? Loving my sleeve. Week 1. Ps my fears about going under did not include apparently my need to tell the anesthiologist how much I loved him, repeatedly over and over until I passed out. Lol pa I love you guys too for being so suportive! Xo

As some have said the divorce rate after surgery is high.
Not necessarily because someone has more confidence... there's MANY Factors...
But you can take a person, have them lose a significant amount of weight, and not expect THINGS to change.
Here's some of the things... there's a lot more
- WL person has more energy and wants to do more. Spouse hasn't changed and so a separation begins
- Spouse becomes jealous ... either they can't lose weight, or of other people.. or hundreds of different reason for them o be jealous
- WL person is getting more attention and not sure how to handle it
- Change of interest from WL individual.
- biggest. Non communication about the issues and feelings of the changes the WL person is having.
PLEASE.. if you are thinking of having surgery or just had surgery. Get counseling. Make sure your spouse and you have a good head on your shoulders. If problems come up, get yourself to counseling before things escalate.

Who said they were going to move this board? The address already changed to Monthly Gastric Sleevers ... I don't think this board is going anywhere...

For thanksgiving... Enjoy your friends and family. They will inhale a plate of food in 20 minutes while we can take our time with ours and enjoy it just as much ! And we don't have to make ourselves sick. Maybe focus on decorating for Christmas, or watch football, or just talking about something different.
We got this !!

That was the most awesome scrambled egg ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg yum yum !

Laughing my butt off = LMBO ...Peek !
I had hummus today, and my egg, and a cup of vanilla milk. Also go in my GENEPRO Protein Powder ! Which is perfect timing since I can't handle any more Protein shakes.
I also went shopping at five places today... Party City, Michaels, Vitamin Shoppe, Halloween Store, and Grocery store.. I"m telling you.. I was about to fall asleep at the grocery store !
Rest this evening !!!

Good to see everyone is doing well. I finally got in two miles and I feel amazing! Can't wait until the new fitbit charge HR hit the market!!! I just seen a commercial on YouTube it's a pedometer and heart rate monitor. Two birds, one stone.
Until we all move to the other board I'm posting twice☺️

@@KarenF1972 If it persist , then you might want to talk to your doctor. Otherwise maybe just chalk it up to natural healing. We did just put our bodies through a lot.
