WOW! You look amazing! Great job!!

I’m about 9 months post VSG surgery and I just started getting massive sharp pain in my stomach. It came on quite suddenly and hurts whether I’m standing, sitting or lying down. Any idea what this could be? Has this happened to anyone else? Prior to today I had been doing and feeling great! Thanks for reading!!

How far post op are you? I just posted a question because I’m 9 months out and having massive stomach pain - just came on suddenly. I was thinking maybe an ulcer but who knows! :(

Try this website. Their crusts are really good! https://www.califlourfoods.com

My surgeon’s office has a “closet” - really more like a room - where you can drop off your big clothes and take clothes in your new size - for free! I think every office should consider doing this!

I went 3 months post VSG surgery. I made smart food choices - based around protein. I DID drink - but only no carb drinks. I drank vodka with grape Crystal Light that I brought from home - mixed with bottled water. Plus I was in the pool all day so burning more calories than ever. I lost 3 lbs that week!! Good luck - relax - and ENJOY!! 👍

My surgeon told me the only OTC pain reliever I could take is Tylenol (for life)!

My doctor keeps all her patients on it for 6 months post-op but I’m sure all doctors are different.

This absolutely happened to me! I was stalled for 3 weeks - then lost 10 lbs in one week. Don’t stress - your weight loss will start again! I know it’s easy for me to say but at the time I was freaked out too!

I occasionally have vodka and I mix it with grape Crystal Light. It’s really good - and no sugar! I order vodka and water (not soda water) and bring little Crystal Light packages with me to mix in. Good luck!!

I gained weight in the hospital too! You will lose it - and MUCH more. Don’t worry!!

Not as much as it used to!!

Lol

I had my sleeve surgery on 10/10/18. The first couple of days sucked (nausea and vomiting) but never really had pain. I never took 1 pain pill once I got home (though I did stay 2 nights due to vomiting). Some people get bad gas pains but they go away with walking. I feel a MILLION times better and more energetic that before the surgery. Good luck and “try” to relax!! 👍

WOW! You are an inspiration!! You look amazing!! Way to go!! 👍

Sounds exactly how I was feeling at that point (except I was vomiting/having dry heaves too). I assure you - it’s gets better fast!! By day 3 no more vomiting. By day 4 no more heartburn (at one point I thought I was having a heart attack) and by the end of the first week I was tired but feeling overall pretty good! And every day I felt a little better than the day before. Good luck!! 👍

Some people engage their mouths before their brain!! Don’t let it bother you!! This says WAYS more about him than it does about his friend’s girl!!

That’s amazing!!! Keep up the good work!! 👍

If it makes you feel any better - my GOAL weight is 225-240! 😜 I had surgery on 10/10/18 - highest weight was 365 - surgery weight 337 and current weight 260 (and I’m jumping up and down happy LOL!). Good luck with your journey! It’s a wonderful tool!! 👍

WOW! I never could have done that! Like you said - if we COULD do that - we wouldn’t need surgery!! I did track all my food for 3 months before surgery. I used the Lose It app on my phone because I always had my phone with me. I would set reminders in my phone to make sure I tracked my food so the tracking wasn’t too bad (for me). As for eating - I found if I ate almost the same thing every day for breakfast, lunch and snacks - and just varied my dinner, it was easier. But again - I only had to do 3 months - NOT a year!! But the GOOD news was I lost 38lbs in those 3 months!! 👍

I had to do that too. It was easy - just wash like it was regular shower gel - paying close attention to your stomach area. Good luck!! 👍

I can’t believe the nerve of some people!! 😡

WOW! You are an inspiration to me!! You look fantastic!!!

We stayed at Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun (long name - lol). It was fantastic!! And the room even had a scale which I loved having! I weigh myself every day (I KNOW you aren’t supposed to but I do) so being able to do that while I was away was great for me! Enjoy your trip! Where are I staying??

I just got back from a 5 night stay at an all-inclusive resort in Riviera Maya. I weighed myself before I left and when I got home and I lost 1 1/2 lbs! I didn’t think I could ever do that on vacation! I’m so glad I had this surgery!! ❤️
