Size 12's and Medium Tops
Barbara278 replied to MINI-Me's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Mini..great job!! I can't wait to read your posts when you are in the 2's - 6's. I'm having the same issue with losing it everywhere but my midriff. So pants are baggy in the butt, but fit in the waist. I fit a 16 perfectly except the waist is a bit tight. I started in a 22/24. Keep up the great work!! -
This has been an ongoing issue for me. I'm 3 months out. I've been taking the benefiber chewable tables but really don't like to because of the carbs. I think I will try the Miralax. Thanks!

Rob, email me at barsch57@hotmail.com and I'll forward you my cell #. Would love to meet you and your wife. It doesn't have to be in Monument, it could be in Colorado Springs too. Let me know.

Brenda, good to hear from you. I was wondering how you are doing. 44 lbs is fantastic. The stalls are to be expected as we all know. It just sucks when that happens. I'm down 43 lbs as of this morning. I am having difficultly getting the water in also. I never do less than 50 oz, but I need to be doing more. Sometimes I just can't seem to get it down. It's not good to be dehydrated. Keep drinking as much as you can and please keep in touch.

Ready, I'm glad to hear you are doing good. Everything is great with me. I feel so much better. The exercising is difficult but I'm maintaining 4 miles 3 to 4 times a week. I just wish the weight would come of faster. Who doesn't right? We take years to put it on and want it gone yesterday. lol Good to hear from you and please keep in touch!

Oregon, I agree totally. I'm visiting here less and less because of it.

Rob, that's so exciting. You have a set date. I'm glad your daughter will be able to go visit you after. I know you have to be excited about that. When you are here in Colorado, we should try to meet up one day for coffee or something. Would love to meet my future sleeve brother. I'm really excited for you. Barb

Acid Reducers?
Barbara278 replied to TiffanyIsMajor's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
John, the answer is both. When I initially spoke to my doctors office about the surgery, that was one thing that was mentioned. The VSG can cause acid indigestion as well as reflux. I'm not sure why. I have read where some people got it after surgery and others that had it before surgery, now do not. We are told to stay on it for at least six months. So that makes it sound like it possibly flares up in the beginning and gets better later? Not sure on that one. Barb -
Hi Brenda, haven't heard from you in a while. How are you doing? Are things still going smoothly for you. I'm doing great and feeling better than I have in many years. I'm down 41 as of the other day. weeehaaaa.

I'm doing fantastic. I'm at a stage now where I can pretty much eat anything I want. The neat thing is I don't want the food I used to want. I've tried eating things like wings, which I used to love, and no go. I just don't like them. I'm down 41 pounds. I feel the best I've felt in years. I'm glad I did this. It's good to hear you are doing good. keep in touch please.

Need some support ...
Barbara278 replied to MINI-Me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mini, you are doing fantastic. We are all going to have those days where we don't feel like we have done well. I think it's just part of our journey and to be expected. One day last week I told Hubby, "Today I feel like I'm back to my orginal starting weight". He just gave me the weirdest look. lol Some days I feel fat, and other days I feel like I've lost weight. The good thing is the scale doesn't lie. WE are making progress. Keep it up girlie!!! -
Acid Reducers?
Barbara278 replied to TiffanyIsMajor's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dr. Aceves gives out a small supply of Nexium after surgery with the orders to take it once a day. However, I'm on aspirin for blood clots, so he has me take an acid reducer twice a day now. Dr. Aceves said Prilosec works as well as Nexium so I'm using that now. Once in the moring before eating anything, and about 30 mins before bedtime. Once I'm totally off the aspirin I'll go back to once a day in the morning. -

Lookin, I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I did two tests also. In 45 mins I stopped breathing 46 times, and sometimes up to a whole minute. My machine starts out at 4 and works its way up to 11 which is my setting. However, after losing almost 40 lbs, I haven't needed to use it at all. Best of luck to you.

AJW...Thanks, I'm really trying hard. Black Forest is just around the corner from me. We just got 10 inches of snow on Friday, and today is suppose to be in the 60's. I'm sure you remember how crazy the weather is here. Where are you now?
