what size and what item? dresses pants? I am on the other side of the us.. washington state..

Ditto ladies.. I was sleeved on the 4th. The cough is the worst at night.. but feels like you have a hair tickling the back of your throat. I have been sipping on NyQuil just a tiny sip. Sometimes seems to help with the cough, & helps me get a good rest.. sometimes not.. Very irritating.. no pain though.. Thank you Jesus !

So nice to know there are others out there with the same issues.

take care of you..!!

Has anyone ever eaten sugars and had immediate (or shortly there after) had dumping.. is this usual for the sleeve? I thought I was having yogurt and didnt read the ingredients and how many per serving..? I have to ask.. also I get head aches after eating is this normal?

Am or will I ever be able to eat sugars again.. I love Sees candies.. I think I will die with out chocolate.. grrrrr

Toni Ha

I had the too.. my nutritionist says I am not getting enough Protein.. up your Protein shakes , increase your Protein steady all day.. sip on them.. it helped me feel like I had more energy..

thought this might help.

Your doing great!

Johnni,

Im in the same boat.. had surgery on the 4th.. lost about 12 lbs quick but not coming off each day.. just a stall. I will follow your pins and see what you find out.

take care

Awesome you need to up date your beautiful pict..

Amen to that Sista's too true.. Give all the Glory to God" it is his grace that keeps us going..

rock your day Ladies & Gentlemen

Yep I totally get you. I pretty much did the same. This is about me and my choices. To live happier, healthier and longer by eating and doing the right things for me first, by me taking care of me I can take care of those I love. My Twin 15 years old boys have been there with me a few times but because I think they wanted to understand. I will be making healthier choices for me and them. I hate this because I am not a selfish person. It takes some getting used to.

Your doing the right thing. I am 1 week post op. and am already feelin it. Better, smarter for my choices & a ton happier.

he does already know this.

have a great day.

I started riding when I was 7 and just this year turned 50. hubby says let it go it is a kids game.. w the heck. I used to know a gal in her 70's that rode.

toni

Nothing like it in the world. Riding horses is like being free. Just you & your horse.

Freedom yaaaa

same here in WA. trails that is. we have parks, trails just limited to horsemen, hikers, and skiirs year round. that way they keep in shape too.

toniha

Question since I am a blond only 7 days out. still pretty week, sipping and doing the p shakes, and Vitamins. when exactly can I start to exercise? for strength? already walking some in our home up and down stairs when i can or need to. (basement) just feel like I was hit by a train.

lol any help would be huge helpful.

ok a note to all you Big Winners.. lbs that fly off.. Not.. it is hard work. How do you combat the sagging skin problem. I have lost & gained it back for the last time. I was sleeved on the 4th of January. The worst part is eating my meds or liquid meds. Ide rather lick the bottom of your stilettos. lol Still sore. Getting better with each day.

You all are very inspirational. The only thing to fear is fear it self. & always remember " if,God be on your side Who be against you? No one.

We are all stronger and winners here.

just got home last evening.. still in a bit of a bubble,, can't sleep at all. i roll and walk,lay and roll.. and walk did I say walk. is this normal.?

ToniHa

Ditto, my check in time is 7:45. Where are you at? I am in Spokane, WA I am so excited. Not crazy about new adventures.. I just say if your gonna do something do it.. Take the lunge.

I need to get my son to take b-4 picts.

ToniHa

Good morning Emk,

I am pre op doing shakes for 2 more than Clear liquids for pre-op. The other member's have it pointed down. If it were me ide go back to basic's and shake for a week or two.. remember your exercise regimen. even if it it walking your house 20-30x I know for some of us there is a lot of snow out side.. I am the queen of yo yo diets and weigh on weight off.. Focus on why you had the surgery done.. it is my guiding life affirmation.. these days. This is a new You.. not just a new year. All things are possible with Christ in your heart. He gives me strength.

Best wishes

Toni

Totally that would be great..

Honey get a second opion. Just because he didn't recommend it doesn't mean he wont do it.. Don't give up hope.. Try another doc. Where there is a will there is a way. Stay firm in what you want.
