Any Good (Trusted) Dr. In Mexico For Sleeve
Crystal Woods replied to chiki's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I was sleeved by Dr. Almanza on 03/01/12. My start weight was 228 and my current weight is 121. My personal goal is 110 but I am not rushing the last 11 pounds bc my skin has done much better than expected. I want a mommy makeover but I need a financial miracle first. -
1 week Post Op!
ambersterling replied to donatelife36's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved this past Thursday, so today I am 4 days out. I am still having a lot of trouble swallowing. Feels like a golf ball every time. Also, they gave me a suppository in the hospital bc I was in SO much pain from gas. So now I have (sorry TMI) liquid diarrhea. Did any of you have any of these issues? I am worried about dehydration. I am on full liquids, so I'm trying to drink skim milk along with water and some zero calorie electrolyte drinks like Powerade Zero and Gatorade. Haven't attempted a protein shake yet. -
Hello !!! Looks like everything is a go, I'm a bit frustrated as our Bariatric center where Dr. Heyderi does the Banding requires an orientation but it isn't until Jan. 25th , I've been waiting for weeks since i called , it's for the best though , I need all I can find out to do this right ! I'm getting nervous already and actually decided not to get banded once , I became really fed up when I went shopping for my neice who's a tiny thing ,lol , I decided that things are going to be about me for once and making ME happy !! That I will be shopping on the "normal" side of the clothing store. I'll keep updating after the orientation , hopefully I'll be able to set a surgery date soon after !! Thanks for all your support and info , especially to my Band Angel.. HUGS Lisa:clap2:

You should be eating the amount recommended by surgeon or nutritionist. You don't want to feel full. Many of those foods are sliders. Be careful.I just thought my body would signal more. I don't know. Same goes with Protein shakes. No feeling of fullness. I have stuck mainly to eggs and cheese and protein shakes. Bc I know those hold more nutritional value and more protein than pudding or potatoes. He didn't give me a specific ounce per meal nor a calorie goal. He did give me protein goals and Fluid goals, obviously. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Your body won't send full signals until its too late. Protein shakes, yogurt, pudding are all foods that go quickly through your sleeve so you can usually eat more. My plan says 1-2 Oz's every 3 hours (eat over 20 mins or less). I don't know if that's the same as yours. That's only for food - not liquids. I would just be concerned of overeating and getting sick. You can really hurt yourself this early out. Congrats on your weight loss! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
Elayne replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
JoannMarie - We share a love of needlework - Quilting for you and embroidery/knitting for me. You are broadening your passion for the quilting arts into writing and I'm making serious plans to teach knitting and embroidery skills. As for the hair business - A beautician/RNY patient addressed our support group about hair loss several weeks ago and recommended "Strength" by Mediceuticals. Apparently their products are also used by Chemo patients. I bought what appears to be a clone product by Sally Beauty. I bought Naturelle yesterday and I'm about to take a shower (to drone out my growling stomach) and use it for the first time. I also kinda-sorta color my hair as it's totally white. I use the color-depositing BROWN shampoo products in my own watered-down version with great results. Interesting side-story to my Sally Spree - The clerk who helped me was in month #4 of her supervised diet for a RNY. She was unaware of the lift of the 6-mo diet requirement by several insurance companies. She's with Geisinger, I'm with BC and she was very excited about contacting her surgeon's practice about her own status. I gave her my card (I have an online-store where I sell needlework originals) and hope to hear from her soon. -

People Are Noticing And Commenting On How Little I'm Eating!
Mrs.RRn replied to Disabledaccount's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's much easier as time passes. No one comments to me anymore now that I'm near goal. I guess it just seems normal... Although I do still get questions from waitstaff which makes me a little self conscious. The other day I left a rather large tip and wrote "thanks for not making me feel crazy" on the ticket bc I was so happy to not have my wants questioned. Lol. -
My surgery date was 1/29/14. My surgery was cancelled due to the weather. This is the second time. The first time my surgeon could not continue with my surgery bc he found a tumor on my liver. So I had to go through a lot if test. It is benign. So now I am playing the waiting game. My surgeon office is still closed and I still have to drink this awful protein shake no food just 3 shakes and plain water. Ugh! Oh well things happen. Can't get upset about The Lord's work. I am just venting and anxious.

How To Tell What Size Body Frame You Are
bikrchk replied to Proud2BMe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It's funny... When I did that test almost 100 pounds ago, I was lead to believe I was "large framed". Makes sense, right, I wear an 11 shoe and have large hands, 5'6" so height is pretty average. BUT, try it now, (90+ pounds off and at a healthy weight) and I'm "small framed" by that test. At 140-145 pounds I wear a size 4 comfortably. Personally, I think it's BS. I was FAT before. That is all. -

Is There Such a Thing as a “Stall?”
chunkyloverlovesyou replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Science of food and nutrition is sketchy at best. every year they re-define what was previously 'obvious' knowledge- saturated/unsaturated fats and cholesterol for example. Remember the low fat diet of the early 90s? Phen-phen (I think?) oh and calories in = calories out. I call total BS on that one. Not all calories are created equal. So this stall notion.. Who knows... No one has it figured out yet. -
Intense Desperation and Fear
tinabina5 replied to JAM72's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
This is also me. I'm 5 days post op for sleeve and I'm more confident bc I recognized that this is not a hail Mary. It's work and it will always be work. I've also told myself that once I hit goal, I'm not allowing myself to overly relax. If I do I'll come back to square 1 and I refuse. Lastly, I'm relying on my faith and know that all is and will be well. Don't be afraid. You'll get through this and accomplish your goals just as you've done in other areas. I also had to know that this time is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Some may say drastic and it is, but it's the best choice for me and my future. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App -
Appetite back with a vengance!
jennifer13658 replied to BajanSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I feel like I’m going nuts bc I was under the impression after the bypass you had considerable time before you felt that! Every time I’m around food my tummy feel “funny”. Not quite a growl but definitely empty! I’m panicking bc I am sad that it isn’t stopping even after my protein drinks. I have lost 20 pounds from the liver reduction diet and obviously surgery, but I just want it to stop. -

I haven't had a fill yet, march 13 and I'm nervous that they won't give me a fill bc I've lost a good amnt of weight, but I do get hungry about 1 hr to 2 hrs after eating a cup of food, so hoping that's a deciding factor. If they decide I don't need one, it will be ok, because I def don't wanna be too tight...that's my biggest fear!

- fit into the movie theater seats with someone on both sides. - shop at regular size clothes stores & not worry that they don't have my size or that it'll be not cute in a xxl. -wear the pretty sandals in the right size bc feet too fat to fit now -have more girly hands, fingers worthy of my amazing wedding ring -not have my husband or dad borrow my pants because they won't fit them in the future -chase my furbabies arounfld the yard with vigor -not have the belly interfere with driving/ sit in the correct position for both airbags & the pedals -stop being a slave to food & constantly looking for my next meal. -
Post op march sleevers
amytug replied to gelen's_change's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Soon2bmzthin, you still reading? Please tell me how you're doing? I'm sorry we never got to go to Walmart, I was just so tired and Pam had a migraine. I was sleeved march 2nd and my biggest problem is the acid. I just can't get it under control. I've had a couple crying spells, which is hormones and life both. I have 6 young children to care for and some days I wonder what the heck I was thinking, doing this when they still need mama so much. When I wake in the morning I feel so weak and I really have no choice bit to get them ready for school am get the little 2 fed and diapers changed. Sigh. Thank goodness for glucose tablets. I'm actually drinking "regular" drinks instead of low cal, drs orders. Fine with me, I HAVE to have energy. As long as I have a little protein in my day, it seems to be working for me. This is just plain hard!? Did any of you feel as if it would be easier than this? I'm not craving specific foods, I just feel like I need substance in my tiny tummy. My stomach hurts near constant from what I'm going to call hunger. Not head hunger, bonefied HINGER. maybe it's acid bit it feels like hunger and I feel like I'm starving. -
It's funny bc after I wrote all of that I was thinking about this same thing. Usually you would think that something terrible happened to me growing up but that wasn't the case for me. I had loving parents who are still married to this day. What I believed happened is that I didn't get that much attention from my dad. I don't mean this in a bad way. My dad loved me growing up and still does. I knew it but he never really told me that much and he didn't really know how to show his emotions. I guess that when that guy started giving me attention I liked it. It didn't take too long for the relationship to become controlling and abusive and by then I was sucked in and I couldn't get myself out of it. I was young and stupid. I can still picture myself standing by my locker in high school and the idiot coming up to me telling me I looked fat...he had complete control over me. Before he was in my life I was such a happy go lucky type of person. Full of life, enjoying myself and having fun. See, part of the reason (remember this is my teenage brain at the time thinking) I believe I couldn't get out of it is that I started to have sex with this guy. He was my first and I grew up believing you don't have sex until you are married. So I had guilt with that, too, I thought I had to marry him because I had sex with him. I know it's crazy! Anyway, while our daughter was growing up my husband and I talked a lot about him letting her know she is beautiful and wonderful and she didn't need to hear it and believe it from some horny teenage guy. My husband would take her out on dates. He always told her she was beautiful and she was special. This worked! She grew up knowing her dad thought she was all of these things! One day when she was a sophomore in high school a guy she had some classes with came up to her and said, "I wanted to tell you that I think you are beautiful." Guess what she said??!! "I already know that, thanks!". It didn't even phase her that a guy was telling her she was beautiful because she already knew this in her heart and she believed it!
