I've found I can't eat Bacon anymore and I can't eat frosted flakes with whole milk. Bacon causes heart burn and frosted flakes with whole milk made me sick beyond belief. Hopefully it'll pass.

Everyone is different. I'm 2 weeks post op and I'm taking no medication at all and my incisions have healed. You can barely see them now.

6 weeks off? Your so lucky!

I'm excited to be attractive again. Have normal blood pressure. No Diabetes. No sleep Apnea. Losing 74 lbs.

I was told it is a size 32.

I'm having no problem eating anything... except for bacon. Bacon causes heart burn. I'm still drinking the Protein shakes daily but I have found that I can eat almost anything. I've taken my surgery very seriously. Everyone responds differently. Frankly I don't see why people stick to such a strict regimen if the stomach can handle normal foods. I just got in from finishing a total of 12.9 miles today. One thing that might be very different for me is I was only 54 pounds over weight. I've healed very, very quickly. I'm also very active. I was active before the surgery and active after the surgery. 12.9 miles is a lot to do in one day, but I'm back up there again. The weight is still flying off.

I was sleeved on October 22nd. I flew out of Tulsa on Tuesday the 21st, surgery on the 22nd, flew home on Friday the 24th and I went back to work on the 27th. Everyone is different. You'll find yourself going to sleep a little bit earlier. It's 9:38 right now and I'm ready to pass out.

It takes forever. I'm 2 weeks out as of tomorrow and I still have the tape stuff on me. grr

I've heard that ability will make you gain weight. I took it prior to getting sleeved and I estimate I gained 25 lbs. I don't take any medication now and I'm not having mood swings or depression at all.

Counseling helps so much. Instead of being mad at each other, it is a safe place to get everything out. It's not too expensive. We pay $75.00 an hour. It's about $400 a week we're spending right now but I think it is worth it.

I ask this in all seriousness. I live in a state where it is illegal but we're planning on to going to Denver for a ski trip and I want to try it. I don't necessarily have to smoke it, but I was wondering if it would harm my surgery? We're looking at going in January so I'll be like 3 months post op by then.

I started early and so far no issues. I even had ***GASP**** pizza tonight. i'm still losing like crazy. I could only take a couple bites... but it was so worth it. I'm drinking the Protein shakes like crazy. I loved the taste of what I had. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo worth it

I'm so doing the toilet thing tomorrow

oh and i'll really throw an off subject matter in there... i'm eating Chinese food haha

We're talking about surgery, poop, getting our stomachs cut out... come on is this really a TMI area.

It sounds like you hit a stall. I don't think you have failed. I've been cheating too but I'm still losing weight. It is slowing down a little bit for me so I'm trying to stick to the diet plan. Your weight loss may slow down but you will still lose weight. I'd suggest you stop weighing often and only weigh every other week. When you get a craving for food, try other things like drinking Water or taking a walk. Do anything you can to break old habits.

I feel like I'm hitting puberty all over again. It's like once the weight has come off I'm finding that I was less sexually active when I had the extra weight on... and my spouse always complained before hand. Now I can only imagine. I've always been comfortable with sex being an outlet to let out frustrations etc.

I used to love the cold but I just cannot get warm. I'm still not even 2 weeks post op so I'm sure I have a lot of changes to go through still. I miss coffee a lot. I don't miss soda.

I like that answer too. I feel I'm able. Going to bed, goodnight! LOL

grrr. Too long lol but an acceptable answer.

I have finally reached 249 lbs. I haven't seen this number since I was 18. It feels great so far. I want to get into the 230's and then I'll be really happy. Only thing I am seeing is I'm getting really tired towards the end of the day and I find myself going to bed around 8 to 9pm and waking up around 4 to 5am. This would be fine except its getting cold and I hate walking when its cold... so I'm trying to stay active and warm lol

After surgery, did you find that your sex life got better as you got thinner or did it become non existent? How long should a person wait before having sex after Surgery?

I'm so tired of people telling me I'm going to lose too much weight. It shows how ignorant they are.

Casinos are evil unless you are winning every time then no one complains. I have control issues. When I go to a casino I am so bad that I have to put a limit on how much I'll spend, leave every credit card at home and def. do not stray. Sometimes I'll win, most of the times I lose. I had one year I hit 32 jack pots but I've never had a repeat of that since.

I don't deny that there are underlying issues before the surgery, but I think things feel more intense after it. It's just another thing for them to throw in your face. I've been getting yelled at lately about my surgery, being told I did it for attention, I've even heard I did it so I could meet someone new... It is a huge change and its a life change, so be ready for it.
