I just read the article and I feel the same way you do. I cant believe some of the comments I read under the article either. I feel sorry for the man and hope that he is able to get help and get control of his health and weight for his sake. -
I Can't Tolerate Vitamins, Suggestions?
pixiejoy7979 replied to NancyJerry's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was taking the same all in one chewable from celebrate. I was unable to stomach at all. I went to a support group and the leader suggest Wellesse liquid vitamins. I take their multivitamin twice a day and their liquid iron supplement once a day. then I take the calcium chews I got from my doctor. -
I am 32 and had a bmi of 42 prior to surgery. I had my surgery on 03/12/12. I had a two week pre-op diet prior to surgery as well. I have lost almost thirty lbs. Have you had your surgery yet?
-
I have lost two lbs since last posting. Starting fo feel better mentally about this but still having doubts about why I did this. I have startex walking and I am doing about two miles a day. I feel good about that since I am almost four weeks out of surgery. I ate a bite of turkey and a bite of ham today. I am still technically on my pureed mushy stage but I chewed it really well and had no problems! That and a deviled egg made me feel better about being at the two family Easter feast! Happy Easter everyone!

I had surgery on the 12 so im 17 days out. Im gonna be ok just having a bad day. Thanks for the encouragement.

I am reallg getting frustrated. I gained back two lbs and have been stalled at 237 for over a week! I didnt know a stall would happen so soon after surgery and im really discouraged because i read that others are dropping lbs really quickly. My doctor said that he expects me to lose 1/2lb to 1 lb a day for the next thirty days.... Any suggestions?

I just started my third week and im on mushy food... I can eat between 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of food....i know on my sample diet it tells me to eat six ounces of yogurt and i did that today but it took me an hour to eat it. How much can you eat sleeverella?
-
I am the same way. I go back and forth between being happy i did this and depressed i did this. I am going to have steak this week (in pureed form). My diet plan says i can puree my own meaf or eat baby food which i dont think i could stomach.
-
I was sleeved march 12 as well. I am moving up to the "mushy, pureed" stage of food and I am allowed to have refried beans (fat free). I dont know if that will help you or not but I plan on trying some refried beans with a little low fat cheese and low fat sour cream (just a dab).

Whoo Hoo! My First Post-Op Meal Went Smoothly!
pixiejoy7979 replied to Liberated Sleeve's topic in Food and Nutrition
I had two weeks of full liquids and starting yesterday I moved up to two weeks of "mushy, pureed." Eggs are on my list for the mushy pureed stage as well as mashed potatoes and refried beans. Also I can have low fat cheese to -
I am sooo glad that everyone is doing ok. I got sleeved 3/12 and i am feeling well. I tried an egg and mashed potatoes today and was happy that i got semi solid food .
-
Thanks everyone for being so kind and helping through the surgery! I am currently at 235 down from 261 prior to pre-op diet and I am 10 days post op. I am struggling with the liquid diet and really want to take a bite of solid food. I also stopped smoking two weeks prior to surgery and now I am having a really hard time and want one soooo bad. I keep telling myself that if I am going to get healthy I am going to get healthy ALL the way so no smoking! Any suggestions on good food for the "mushy, applesause consistency" stage... I will be moving on to that in four days!

Smoking After Gastric Sleeve Surgery
pixiejoy7979 replied to mommamea's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I stopped smoking two Weeks prior to my surgery (surgery was 3/12/12). my surgeon gave me chantix to help stop. I was doing well but now post op i cannot swallow the chantix and i am fighting the urge to smoke everyday. I had a crying fit this morning and actually went in store and bought a pack. I decided not to smoke one and when my husband (who smokes on occassion) lit one the smell made me sick! Its not an easy addiction to give up especially since i cant wat but i am strong! Good luck to others that are trying to stop as well! -
