Hey kids,
I'm kind of a newbie, kind of not. I joined in the spring, but had previously been on LapBandTalk since late 2007, so technically...I'm not a newbie. Big lurker, though!
I'm Sally, 35, 11 days out of my revision. I had my band removed in late May/early June and had never felt better to have that contraption out of me! My surgeon is a god among men, and had told me that he wishes that the sleeve was a viable option in September '08 in my area, he would've sleeved me then (that sounds dirty, ha ha). Nice to be here, and actually posting!
So, questions.
1. I can't tell when I'm full (granted, I'm only on full liquids until Thursday), until I start to hiccup or a little reflux (which my doc clearly says is not actual reflux, I don't have GERD or nothing, it's on the heartburn side but not really?). Can any of you tell before that?
2. I feel like garbage most days. Is this just me recovering? I can go out for a while, but I barely can walk my dog without sweating and sitting down when I get back in my apartment. Even at my weight, I've never been like that. I'm actually afraid to go out for a long time because of it.
3. Holy food addiction, Batman! I don't remember this after my band, but then again, it was only a week of liquids with it. I watch commercials and food shows and just fantasize about a steak sub!! Which is ridiculous but is probably just leftover thoughts about the 2 months without the band, ha ha. I was pretty strict while on my band, I just had a low tolerance for the saline and in the end it just prolapsed from me vomiting basically every day. Does anyone else feel this way about food on TV?
4. I've lost 20 lbs. in 11 days (I know it will stall, I'm just on the bigger end). I hope that that's not leading to anything bad!
5. I'm nauseous off and on...too much Protein shake maybe?
6. I plan on making this sleeve my b**ch. But I know there will be times that I will have the opportunity to eat "wrongly." I know that we can tolerate sugar, etc. a bit more than Joe Schmoe with a bypass, but how much? I'm talking ice cream here, peeps. I'm not big on chocolate and stuff unless it's in Reese's form, but on occasion...I'm not looking to cheat per se, but I'm a freakin' human.
7. I'm supposed to stay away from really strenuous activity for 6 weeks...when did you guys go back to the gym and jump on a dang elliptical? I have always loved physical activity--my problem that as I got bigger (my top weight was 465, I lost 100 lbs. with my band, got sleeved at 362, and am now at 341) I couldn't do it anymore or as much. I want to drop as fast and as healthily as possible...that means cardio and protein! Any ideas in the interim to do light exercise as well would be helpful.
8. This liquid phase is so gross, just thought I'd put it out there. I remember hating Protein shakes for months after my band...but making real ones (with fruit and yogurt) is what I miss! The powder and milk is just gross!!!
Okay, enough of the ADHD.
