To get rid of them there is a pressur point right between your eyes just above your nose.
If you put pressure there they will go away.
Just an FYI.

The fitbit works with the same technology as the wii.
The website is free to use to track everything!!
It is very reliable as far as steps go. You can wear it on your waist band or just keep it in your pocket.
The sleep tracker is cool and very interesting feedback.
You put the fitbit in a special wristband that it comes with and it tells you how long it took you to fall asleep also how many times you woke up.
It is usually 100.00 but goes on sale for 79.00 from tme to time. Definatly worth it in my opinion. I was looking into the body bugg when I bought mine. the seller for me is the website is free .. Not with the body bugg.

My questions:

In the beginning, Did you follow all the recomended precautions like the liquid diets a few weeks ahead and then Clear Liquids?
Yes !! I had to do 2 weeks protien shake and lean green dinner Then 3 days of clears before surgery..
Did you do pre op and post op test? Did your dr. check over for leaks, if so when?
Pre-op test when I got to Mexico... Post op leak test before they let me leave the hosp.
Did you follow the reccomended liquid diets after? and the blended solid diet there after?
100% That will help you NOT have any complications!!
Did you pick up heavy things or over do it?
NO!!
Who was your Dr.?
Dr. Kelly..Awesome by the way!!
What kind of reaction did you have and how did you know something was wrong?
I have NOt had one complication and most don't with this surgery..... If you pick a skilled DR.

What is so hard??? If you choose protien first there is really any room left for any thing else. sometimes some veggies... I guess I find it so easy because we eat some sort of protien every night for dinner . I just eat that and some veggies. Would I like to eat some cheese its ?? Sure but they are like crack to me as well as most breads or carbs..
I am not saying I will never eat them again... but right now I want to keep my eye on the prize which is goal.. then I will try some other things.. I feel like I have gone through so much to get this surgery I don't want to mess it up.
Just my honest opinion...
Julie

I was on liquids(protien drinks) + one lean and green meal a day for 2 weeks , then clears only for the 3 days before surgery.
That was CLEAR no protien drinks the last 3 days.
Julie

It is probably coming off carbs and sugar.. Drink lots of Water and it will help.. Everyday it will get better.
It is much easier after surgery..
Julie

I can drink Water pretty much like I did before . I also can eat raw veggies with no problem.. So yes you will be normal again.. But a new normal.
Julie

I don't see how that is possible.. this surgery has been used for years with people that have had stomach cancer...
It's not new by any means!

When I had my surgery with Dr. Kelly he was revising someone from the gastric bypass with the band to a sleeve. She rode in the van with me. She said Dr. Kelly is the only one she trusted..
My sleeve surgery with Dr. Kelly was awesome. He is highly skilled at the sleeve..
Julie

I just did this also. I was stuck for almost 5 weeks at the same weight. Upped my calories and carbs and have lost almost 5 pounds just that... I will go back down in carbs again, but I think it is good to keep our bodies guessing..
Finally got out of the 220's!!
Julie

I have had carpul tunnel surgery also .. this was so much easier...
No problem!!
Julie

I never needed any help. I went to Mexico by myself and was just fine. I was back to work one week after surgery. Cooking for my family and everything. The only thing I needed help with was carrying the laundry downstairs.
You will be just fine. You will mostly be resting anyway.
Julie

I haven't had any fatigue.. I was back to work at 1 week out. I make sure to eat all my protien . I aim for 80 grms. Drink all my Water about 80 oz. and take all my Vitamins.< /p>
I feel the same as before and even have more energy since losing.
Hang in there it should start getting better soon.
Julie

I eat every 2-3 hours...I am hungry by 2 and starving by 3.
SO I can't go any longer without food.< /p>
I am happy with a very small amount and it only holds me right around 2 hours...
Everyone is different. I never lost all hunger like some do.
I eat 3 meals and 1-2 Snacks of protien.
Julie

Good for you!!That is one of the hard habits to break as the nioctine is so addictive!!
You will do great with your surgry because of it.
