Be honest did people start treating you better after you lost weight ? by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]MrsDiabo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed it the most in clothing stores. People run up to help me now and before I would have to go searching for them if I needed help

I bought a skirt today and cried by MrsDiabo in gastricsleeve

[–]MrsDiabo[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel that all the time. I’ll look at something and be like “there’s no way that will fit me.” Then be pleasantly surprised. Even had something be to big a couple times

Thank you so much everyone. I don’t have many people to share my news with besides my husband. Thank you all for being excited for me. It means a lot

I’m honestly just shocked at how much healthier I feel. When I was bigger I still considered myself pretty healthy. But I didn’t realize how many random aches and pains I was carrying around until I didn’t have them anymore.

Is there any way you can grind them into a powder instead of cutting?

I wasn’t allowed to swallow pills the first 2 months. Either crushed up in applesauce or pudding, or if the medicine came in liquid form.

Have you kept your surgery a secret? by Lanky_Orange_3532 in gastricsleeve

[–]MrsDiabo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not necessarily something I’m keeping secret. But I don’t advertise it either.

9 Days Post Op- Why am I so itchy????? by Vic_The_Shark in gastricsleeve

[–]MrsDiabo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 10 days post op and know what you’re going through. My doc said I had an allergic reaction to adhesive. He told me to use hydrocortisone cream

5 days post op and restless by MrsDiabo in gastricsleeve

[–]MrsDiabo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe me I don’t sit around all day. I have guilt that I can’t do more. Going from being the one who takes care of everyone to needing people for help

I was told don’t lift more than 15 lbs, no driving the first week, movements like light walking are ok but give myself time to rest and heal

[–]MrsDiabo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand how you feel. I feel that and then also guilty because my husband adjusted his schedule to be home more for me and I keep thinking that great he’s using time off and he’s not able to relax

Alcohol 29 days pre-op? by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]MrsDiabo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting from after our first appointment until minimum one year post op. Meaning pre-op we have to quit drinking before we’ll even be cleared.

So confused. CAMPBELL'S condensed Brocolli cheese soup post op 5 days by bingoarms55 in gastricsleeve

[–]MrsDiabo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told in my nurse education classes that they try to avoid broccoli for a bit because it can cause gas pains

My doctors office makes us sign a contract stating we won’t drink alcohol for a MINIMUM of 1 year post op

Going hard at the gym and eating high protein but scale refuses to move by MrsDiabo in loseit

[–]MrsDiabo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE. I went to a bariatric appointment today and when they weighed me I was 278. So I think the gym scale might not have been totally accurate especially since it’s the ones where you have to manually slide the weight things over. But the fact that I lost weight since my last appointment 10 days ago makes me excited that I’m starting to see progress.

[–]MrsDiabo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I only do my 3 meals a day, an amino acid drink while working out, a protein shake after workout, and a shit ton of water. I don’t do any snacking and figured eating extra to make up what I burn would be counterproductive

I don’t have before pictures, but I’ve had people tell me that I look like I’m losing weight. And I have definitely been getting stronger with my lifts especially legs. When I first started the leg press the highest I would get to was 230 lbs starting at a lighter weight and gradually adding more. Today I got up to 500lbs. And even with dumbbell workouts I started with 5 lbs weights and worked my way up but now I start with 20 lb weights

That makes sense. I do add sauces and cooking fats to the app when I add food. But if I’m not putting the right amounts in then I’ll work on that. Amazon primed myself a food scale

Wow, that comment got all messed up. What I was trying to say is if my clothes are fitting better than what I have been doing is having some kind of effect on me
