    PrayingForWeightLoss got a reaction from FluffyChix in How close do you follow your dr's Post Surgery plan?   
    I follow my program to the letter. I just don't want to go back to the things that contributed to my obesity. I made a personal choice to follow the program because my own "program" obviously failed me before.

    Yes I know a former coworker who had trouble coming back into the country because she looked very different. She was pulled to secondary inspection but finally they cleared her.

    PrayingForWeightLoss got a reaction from njgal in Chilli   
    Eden30, I am like that too!! I put hot sauce on just about everything. I was sleeved July 28, 2017. I held off using chilli until I got to the normal food stage. I don't remember being told not to have it before then. I just chose to be extra careful. I am having it now almost daily with no problems. I have no reflux issues that some sleevers experience post op. I think that makes a big difference if you have gastric reflux.

    PrayingForWeightLoss got a reaction from FluffyChix in Losing dedication for surgery.   
    Totally understandable. Many of us have felt this way. For many years I thought about surgery then I would go back to self talk of "I think I can lose this weight by myself." Well, I did lose a couple of pounds here and there then pack it al back and more. I spent so much money and time on so many different diets. Finally admitted that the sleeve was the best tool to help me lose weight. Finally got sleeved July 28, 2017. I feel this is THE best decision I have ever made for my health. I have lost a log of weight and happily still losing!!

    8 weeks post op. Haven't cheated a day. Too scared to mess things up again. I failed on so many diets before through my own fault. I am very good at self sabotaging. This time I am sticking to the book.

    Follow the instructions and phases that your doctor and dietitian prescribe. There is a good reason you can't eat certain foods before a certain time. Sip sip on your Water. Dehydration is a serious risk.

    Pyjama bottoms definitely. As we all know, hospital gowns are business in the front party at the back. You will need to wear a pair when you start walking off the gas on the ward.

    Fluffy, you nailed it especially about wearing temperature appropriate clothes. That is one of my biggest frustrations. I dress to cover up my rolls.

    PrayingForWeightLoss got a reaction from BusyMom945 in Is this my new normal?   
    No runs for me but you would think there is a drumbeat contest in my belly at times with no regard for time of the day. I was so embarrassed in a meeting recently when the chairperson was talking and my stomach was competing on who gets loudest. I just kept a straight face and the stomach noise became the elephant in the room. Nobody said a thing but I am sure everyone heard it loud and clear. I am about 9 weeks post op.

    I have heard similar stories about the statistics of divorce post WLS. My experience has been I am more horny after surgery and my husband is very happy about that. We had to leave church early today after I told him I had to get laid within the hour.

    It's very unfortunate that you now want to turn this into a negative post with your response. You asked for a clarification of the post and I provided it. Now you are being sarcastic because I didn't respond the way you wanted or expected me to. Hope you have a lovely day. I sincerely wish you the best in your weight loss journey.

    PrayingForWeightLoss got a reaction from CrissCriss in H pylori is the last test to take   
    I din't have test preop. They diagnosed me with H-Pylori after testing the tissue removed during the sleeve surgery. Had to wait until the purée stage before starting treatment because I needed to have food in my tummy to take the many huge tablets required to treat it. Retested 4 weeks after completion of treatment. Now eradicated.
