I'm having VSG on December 19th. Anyone wanna be buddies?

I would love to be buddies I live in the DWF area in Euless. Dr Kim did my surgery

welcome shall258!

When did you have your surgery? I also went with Dr. Kim, had my on 12/16/13. I work near Euless, but live in Far North Ft Worth.

Looking forward to getting to know you!

Tami

I had my surgery on 12/20/13 at Baylor trophy club. Dr Kim and dr Holden did my surgery. So far it's been good except for a few side effects like nausea, diarrhea and bad breath but other than that going great. I have not retuned to wk yet because of the nausea it's been pretty extremed. I'll probably go back on Monday. I live in Euless/ ft worth and work in Irving

Sorry forgot to say thank you Tami

Oh the bad breath! I cant believe how crazy it is!

Welcome shall and such! I returned to work today. I did okay but boy am I hungry!! On a 2 day stall but not too worried at this point.

Thank you! Don't worry it will fall off you. Especially now that you are getting back to your regular routine

Shall258 welcome, we were both sleeved by Holden on 12/20 at trophy club... Surgery twins

Oh the bad breath! I cant believe how crazy it is!

Ohh .. My... I offend myself with the breath... I understand it gets better as we get into real food and get off protein shakes... I have 2 boxes of Larousse, gum and listerstrips all for next week at work.

Barefeet, that's cool we were probably on same floor I was in rm 217... We will defiantly have to keep in touch and track our progress. My biggest fear is I wasn't loose the wt or have some crazy complication.

I agree I'm scared to death I've done this and I won't use the tool... Doesn't help that I've been at the same weight for the better part of a week. I know there is a 3 week stall that a lot of people talk about, but since day 7 I have lost more than 1/2 a pound.... For the last 3 days I have been very focused on getting moving...

I know the feeling when I went in per op I was 256.5 and when I came Hm from hosp I was 263! Went up 7 lbs... From 263 I've lost 16 lbs as of yesterday . But today I went up 1.5 lbs feeling a lil discourage.

I also watch a lot of u tube videos and a lot of the ppl had lost 100+ lbs by 6-8 mos . If I could do that I would be so happy..... I certainly plan on hitting the gym as soon as I can

Also, I plan on finding some healthy recipes. Of course bring from Texas I enjoy food and cook like a Texan so I have to stop that habit and change my whole life style..

Once we get to start eating normal food we need to start a receipe section.

I finally lost 1.8# today after not losing for 12 days! My official weigh-in and measurements will be tomorrow, but I was super happy I saw the loss.

On another note: Dr Kim's support mtg is this Wednesday the 8th at 6:30, and it will be about setting goals. Nate Newton is the guest speaker and a patient. I am planning on attending, anyone else like to join?

I'm also planning on attending...

There's a food a recipe section here on Bariatric Pal. You can start looking and dreaming now.
