7 WEEKS POST OP! Before and After picture!
skinnywithin commented on Zazi's blog entry in From Lapband to Sleeve
wow! amazing u look so good! its encouraging for me....Ive hit a low spot..Im down 20 pounds since my gastric sleeve surgery nov 30 2012. but it wont go past that!!! I need to do something more I guess lol. But thank you so much fro posting this, it really helped me -
also be careful when adding meat. its harder to digest so chew well and take it SLOW!! I found this out the hard way when I tried chicken. it got stuck half way down. I stay away from most meats except lean ground meats that go down easier but I still have very small amounts of them. I was soo excited that i diddnt take my time and I suffered for it lol. hope this helps

I had the EXACT same problem. I regretted the surgery at that stage because I was so sick of soup and soft foods. Im now at 4 weeks out and I eat small amounts of things like egg salad on crackers, sweet potato, rice, canned ham salad on crackers, boiled soft veggies, and even chili. I just chew very well. also it was allot of trial and error testing out what I can tolerate. once I found out I stuck to the foods that make me feel the best. really not what doc says to do, but Im still losing 1-2 pounds per day, and feeling great. dont worry just try bites of things and if they feel good going down then go for it. just chew well and take it slow between bites.

day 5 post op..and it was ROUGH. had to go back into the hospital after being discharged but now im out and better. and 12 pounds down!
-
ok, now Im on a STRICT 4 ensure drinks per day and water until surgery. all because i had the "last meal" thing they say u can have and gained 5 pounds! I had minimal weight loss due to my body being stubborn so they werent really impressed. OOPS
......its been 3 days and i feel AWFUL. dizzy, weak, confused....all to shrink my liver enough for surgery in 2 days...can i possibly shrink my liver enough in only 8 days? -

@helgaready ur welcome were all in this "together" or as much as we can be. it so nice to be able to relate so closely to another person.

@grek79ltal my doctor warned me about it on one of my first visits! Ive been worried ever since. funny how your never did? did u get a folder with everything about before and after surgery? oh and by the way congrats on the weight loss!
-
u can do it!! its hard (i hear lol) but i know its worth it! I can imagine your anger with ur hubby eating in front of you! I would have kicked him where it hurts!! lol my hubby eats that stuff away from me but comments as he leaves "honey Im going out to get a chocolate bar, can i get u a celery stick or a tomato?" you can imagine my anger with him! lol
-
hey, at least the scales going DOWN not up! it will come. have you been exercising? it may help speed things up.
-
this is exactly what ive been worried about happening to me..ive been i guess hiding behind my weight for so long that Im scared of being skinny because of the confidence side of it. its just as much a mind transformation as a body transformation. keep it up, u look amazing and the confidence will come as u see yourself as the beautiful woman everyone else sees you as.
-
Im scared of that happening to me. Im glad that you made light of it and found the humor. lol makes me feel better

its strange to think that next summer I will have achieved a dream of being skinny enough to wear a bikini

Has Anyone Had To Have The 'stress Test' Before Surgery?
skinnywithin posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went to my last check in appointment and was given some forms for blood work, as well as a stress test appointment all they said was i have to wear comfortable shoes. just wondering if anyone on here has had this test and what its like. I heard u have to run on a treadmill and stuff. just wanting to know more info to be prepared lol. -
