Has your chronic back pain lessened with your weight loss?
Lallylocks replied to Lallylocks's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is for sure the worst if I'm standing too long. Walking, once I get moving, definitely feels better! -
Not fun. Bleeeech

Ugh. I ate some chocolate cake for my bro's bday tonight. Barf barf barf! I seriously felt so gross I was considering going to make myself throw it up! Still feeling pretty yucky. I'm sure the lack of water today is not helping...but ewww...what was I thinking?? Anyone else experiencing moments like this one? I'm 2 months post sleeve.

Hair today, gone tomorrow
Lallylocks replied to SherB's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks finediva! I'm thinking I might even take a little more off the top. -
Oh for sure. Don't know why I did that. Idiotic.
-
Too much! Approx. 1.5 x 4.5 - 5 inches. Yuck. It was more like a torte.
-
Smells don't bother me. But that cake was stupidly decadent. I can't believe I used to eat that stuff so much before. Bleargh!

I wish I had known
Lallylocks replied to Midtown girl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My guy is relatively fit...he works hard and is naturally compact like his ancestors. Chinese ancestry...but I worry it may catch up to him some day! And I worry about diabetes because he sure goes to town on carbs... -
I wish I had known
Lallylocks replied to Midtown girl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It's nuts how little food it takes to make me feel full! I used to be able to eat like a bear...now I take as long to eat my child sized anount as it takes my boyfriend to eat two hearty helpings. -
I've had a couple stalls. They suck. I need to remeasure myself and see if the inches have changed.
-
I was having trouble...my doc started me on lactulose 30ml daily to get things moving. It took a while but it helped. Now I make sure I drink lots, and supplement with benefiber 1-2 times daily.
-
That one you might...it would be up to the anesthesiologist and nurses. But it should go back in when you wake up easily enough
-
120/80 is really quite fine, but they're now considering it "high" normal and "pre-" hypertension. But that's not a reading any of my nursing colleagues or the doctors we work with would bat an eye at.

Everyone remarks on my face too...I referred back to a picture pre-op in May when I was already losing a little...now I see what everyone is talking about!

Vasovagal/irregular heart beat complications
Lallylocks replied to dashofsunshine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The vagus is a large nerve running through your abdominal cavity. Many things can stimulate it, and it can dump your heart rate. This kind of surgery takes something away and changes the stimulus on this nerve. It may improve...I had one spell in my first 6 weeks post-op...I do get light headed sometimes...having said that, my pulse is typically fine...just the one spell. -
What was your most recent NSV? (non-scale victory)
Lallylocks replied to tamg26k's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Well, in addition to a scale victory of kicking another nine pounds to the curb this week, I have lost somewhere in the neighborhood of three inches off my waist and hips, AND I bought pants at a store that doesn't cater to plus sizes!!!! -
Does everyone lose a noticeable amount of hair?
Lallylocks replied to gaults's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm two months out and have been noticing a lot of falling hair...it didn't seem like it was getting thinner, but I heard the loss can last 6 months! I was not going to wait to go bald...my hair was quite long, and very tangly. So today I went short. Very short. Donated my foot long braid...haven't had my hair this short in well over 10 years! -
Hair today, gone tomorrow
Lallylocks replied to SherB's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've had a lot of falling hair in the 2 months post-op. It was getting scary to see so much come out. After having long hair since my twenties, I decided to go short in the hopes it would slow down the loss. I donated my braid. Here's a little before and after, and the hair I lost... -
Just got my shipment of Syntrax nectar...not something you can get easily in Canada! Tried it today. Delish! And cranked up my Protein intake! I also added Benefiber to it, since I need more of that. Now if I could just get Progresso Light Soups up here!

Fiber and 'Keeping Things Moving' (Toilet Talk)
Lallylocks replied to almosthome's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah struggling with irregularity myself...using benefiber, and saw my family doctor who suggested lactulose...things are starting to work! But sooooo gassy! -
Super Nurses With Sleeves (Support Group)
Lallylocks replied to Need-a-Sleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My surgeon said 4 weeks...I was off for 6 (the extra 2 were my own decision). I'm a staff nurse. I'm back to work now...survived my first 8 hour shift, and my two 12 hour shifts (days). I start my 12 hour nights tonight...hoping they go well. -
Syntrax Nectar = Awesome sauce!
Lallylocks replied to Lallylocks's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Peach and double stuffed cookie. So far have only tried the peach. Delish! -
My Dog loves me!
Lallylocks replied to kimpossible67's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks...I'll give it another shot. If I can improve her leash manners then I might be able to manage her and my other dog on a walk together! ???? -
My Dog loves me!
Lallylocks replied to kimpossible67's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey kimpossible...a little off-topic...but I see you have a Boxer. Mine is 4...super hyper and crazy. I know she needs wayyy more exercise, but her leash manners stink. I tried a halti and she freaked out. Any tips? I want to walk her, but she pulls so much she hurts herself and she's so darn strong! -
Oooooooooohhhhhh I can't wait till I can do this
Lallylocks replied to 10/6/14's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Also...my 20 yr highschool reunion is in 2017...looking forward to dropping some jaws at that!
