Good Luck Brother, and keep us posted.......

Good Luck and I'll say a Special Prayer just for you. Everything s going to be just fine. :thumbup:

You may very well get it too. I'm all about losing it but my main goal to Keep it Off. Every Pound Gone I never want to ever See it Again.

I think being a Heavy Weight (Starting Weight 498 pounds) has a lot to do with it, and also being a young male. But who's to say, get your sleeve and Rock it Girl and the weight gonna melt off.

Thanks a bunch Guy/Gals. I know this is not possible each month but I'll surely try to set a goal of at least 25 pounds for this next month. :scared0:

Well I had my 2nd post-op appointment today pre-op date I was 495 (May 10th) Surgery date (May 24th) I was 477 & 1 week post op (June 1st) I?m 457 1 Month out and a total of 59 pounds gone 439 :thumbup1:

Great Job :001_wub:

Congrats Girl your looking good. Keep up the good work....

Pre-op Diet 496 05-10-10 Surgery Weight 477 05-24-10 Today?s Weight 443 06-22-10

Well lets just the scale was my friend this morning. I was down 4 to 6 pound all week long and then bamm today i was the same weight as lost week. I know I'm not eating that much. :thumbup: I know i got to keep the faith and move forward cause at this point theirs now turning back so i guess I'll do twice as good next week:thumbup:

Thanks a Bunch cause it will help out greatly :thumbup:

I?m fighting that very same thing right, it?s like I can eat something and still graze a little later. Trying to fight it. I also notice that when I eat fish I stay full longer, but when I drink my Protein it?s like it goes right through me and I was to eat something else. How it gets better for you, and let me know if you find a way to fix it.

This Monday I?ll be three weeks out also and I?ve seen the scale come to an stop and also go up 2 pounds and it had me going crazy:eek: for awhile until I read the previous post. Thanks guy/gals for the support. It really helps learning from people who have been through what I?m going through now. :thumbup:

Is there any post-op sleeve patient who's having a hard time with BM post-op. I?ve always been one to go at least twice a day and then came the VSG and everything seems to change. I couldn?t remember having a BM for the last 4 days and then came day 5 and it hit me at last. How much fiber is enough, I take about 2 table spoons almost every day. I was really starting to wonder if something was wrong somewhere in there because that?s has never happen to me before.

I Agree Totally with Ouroborous. I also experience the same thing today at 2 weeks out. Kind of made me scared to eat anything else. Don't want to damage my stomach / staples....:001_tt2:

Well today (06-07-10) I started my soft foods and so I took 1 egg & 1 egg white and about 6 crawfish tails and blended it very well and cooked it soft. I took one bite and it tasted like a piece of heaven. Well then came the 2nd bite and it tasted even a little better. I placed my baby spoon down for 2 min and once o pick up the 3 spoon up, the cramps started. I was cramping so Bad and hearing all kinds of noises coming from me stomach. I knew I hadn?t eaten 1 oz yet but it felt just like I was walking out of the Golden Wok ?Chinese buffet?:w00t:. Man it stayed cramping for about 10 min before I started burp. Once it started it all want to come up but I did have anything down there. If this is what women go through each month I take my hat off to them because those cramps had me saying several prayers. May God bless all women :wink0:

You can shave it if you want but they will shave it again before surgery...

Congrats bigjay keep it up....

Well i kind of felt the same way about not telling everybody, but once i was of recovery i called most of they to let them know. And ever since then I've been telling everyone who ask "have you lost some weight" Maybe if i share my story with some of them who are fighting that same battle we have been fighting, they may start wondering if WLS is right for them. Hey you may want to just tell Key members of you family first, I'm telling you telling my brother, two sisters, mom & dad and of course my wife gave me other people to talk too to calm my nerves pre-op.

LOL yea even eating that Pizza. Thanks everyone for the support :thumbup1:
