Thank you! Did you have shots to take home also? I planned on walking a ton and I also have the massaging calf thing at home I plan on using! No, I didn't have to do the shots or blood thinners

9 weeks and 50 pounds? Wow! Way to go!
-
My stomach makes growling noises, but I haven't had any hunger issues.
-
I have that too but I didn't have any trouble with blood clots. I made sure to walk around a LOT in the hospital and once I got home post-op and while you're in the hospital they use those things that massage your calves to prevent blood clots and I made sure to use them any time I was in the bed.

Eating disorder preop
GradyCat replied to Blackangel21's topic in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Forum
Surgery doesn't take away the head hunger. That's something you have to work on. -
I can relate to what you're saying. Now that I've lost weight I feel even fatter than I was when I started and I worry so much about it. Congrats on your success, you look great!

Exercise and Water Question
GradyCat replied to Krestel's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can go an hour without drinking water. -
Thanks for posting that chart! Makes me feel a WHOLE lot better about what I thought was slow weight loss.

a sickening look at my eating disorder
GradyCat replied to mousecat88's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thanks for sharing. I sometimes can't believe how many cookies I used to eat. -
I never worried about being seen in a bathing suit, even at my heaviest. I enjoy the pool, so I didn't care what other people thought.

That's a shame. I've heard of other people not liking protein shakes on here in the forums. I like them. I use premade GNC Lean Shakes (chocolate)

What To Eat When The Honeymoon Wears Off - OAC
GradyCat replied to FluffyChix's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I still like drinking protein shakes, but I learned from the article that eating solid food is important, so I'll try harder to do that. Good article, thanks for sharing. -
I haven't tried an Air Fryer. It is worth it?
-
Good luck with your WLS journey and take care after surgery.

Anyone else have vision issues post-op?
GradyCat replied to danieocean's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry you're going through this. I haven't had any vision issues. -
What did you do with your old clothes and pictures after weight loss surgery success
GradyCat replied to Summer56's topic in The Gals' Room
Why would I do anything with my old pictures? I've donated the larger clothes to a charity thrift store. -
Your poor thing. Such a lot to go through. Praying for your recovery and healing.
-
There's an infamous Week 4 stall that nearly everybody goes through. It's normal. No worries. Let the stalls happen and the weight will get moving afterward. Your body just went through a major trauma. It's trying to catch up.
-
It's talked about a lot here on this forum. Check out the posts of people who've had each and the pros and cons of each. It's a personal decision that's up to you. I chose sleeve and I'm happy with it.
-
Hooray, good for you!

Telling family, friends, work, etc.
GradyCat replied to Tlily730's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I didn't tell anybody. I still haven't told anybody. A few people have asked "How are you losing your weight?" and I just shrug it off or say, honestly, "Diet and exercise" -
Did you need help at home?
GradyCat replied to Tlily730's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I didn't need help. -
Dieticians/nutritionists question
GradyCat replied to Zemi's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I saw mine once before surgery, had a phone conversation and have seen her twice post-op. She's available to me at no charge at any time. -
Stalls are normal parts of the weight loss process and we can't prevent them.
-
Wow, good for you toughing out that stall!
