Trouble sleeping after Sleeve
GradyCat replied to texasnewf's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
No, not really. But I do sleep better ever since I got a "weighted blanket" to sleep with. It's like someone hugging you all night and very comforting. -
I didn't know where was such a thing. Never heard that term. No clue.

Scheduled for Sleeve but thinking about Bypass instead?
GradyCat replied to MeowAMR's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Either one is a good choice. -

Wishing you the best. Good luck on your WLS journey. -
No, just sometimes "the foamies" if I eat something doughy like bread or a tortilla

Sip, sip, sip slowly.

Had Emergency Surgery Just Now
GradyCat replied to FluffyChix's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
@FluffyChix So sorry to hear this, but you're responding to it like your wonderful sense-of-humor self and I'm so glad you're okay. Take care. -
Me too. I need to learn to slow down. I guess I'm going to have to count my chews and lay my fork down between each bite.

No, I haven't noticed this. You might want to mention it to your doctor.

Guys I had an English muffin with cream cheese. And god DAMN it was good but now I feel like I’ve messed everything up!!!!!!

Now that you've got that out of your system, don't do it again. It's not worth it. -
Told today No Bypass must be sleeve
GradyCat replied to Draven298's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was convinced I wanted a bypass to get the "best results possible" based on percentages and lose the most weight, but after talking to my therapist and another one of my doctors, they both recommended the sleeve instead and I had it, no complications, it worked, and I'm very pleased with it. -
Hooray! Fantastic! Way to go! Good job!
-
I didn't have any driving restrictions, but then again I never took any pain pills. I had no trouble.

Absolutely normal. Weight is never a "stable" thing but fluctuates depending on your bowel movements, water intake, sodium intake, etc. I wouldn't worry.

How many calories do you eat a day?
GradyCat replied to april042019's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I was eating around 800/calories a day but my weight loss has stopped, so I'm trying something new by increasing the calories. Yesterday I had 1350. I might hit 1200 today. We'll see how it goes. I'm 7 months post-op. -
According to the BMI chart, 118-159 is the range.
