Sleep Apnea Question For Long Time Sleevers
gloriann replied to Vidalia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love my cpap machine. I have had three since I was diagnosed in 2005. I just had another sleep study on the 21st and was fitted today for my new mask. Hang in there! Good luck! -
Whats your fav breakfast?
gloriann replied to twinsmama05's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My fav breakfast on most weekends is 1/2 cup egg whites, 1/2 morning star sausage pattie, 1/2 slice wheat toast and a cup of coffee.. MMMM...on weekdays, I just have an Atkins chocolate protein shake. -
I am cold all the time since my surgery. Oh well...another thing to get used to with the sleeve! I love it. Hope you feel better soon. Good luck!

I usually have sugar free jello, weight watchers cheese, or just a couple of Keebler fat free crackers. It does the trick. Try it! Good luck!

Looking For Sleevers Who Did The Sleeve Bootcamp Or Pouch Test
gloriann replied to yoshikitty's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I do the 5 day pouch test about every 6 wks or so. It does work with breaking a stall and helps keep me on track. I feel that it gives my system a break and I feel better. I also drink a lot of water. Good luck! -

Question For Ex-Banders Who Are Already Post Sleeve. Need Your Pov! Since You've Experienced Both What Are Your Thoughts And Experiences?
gloriann replied to buttrfli1's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Having the revision from band to sleeve was a great decision for me. I was tired of having fills then unfills, throwing up, discomfort at the port area, etc, etc...I lost 80 lbs the first year and a half which of course I gained back. Oh well...I now have the right tool to help me with my weight loss. I love my sleeve! Good luck on your journey! -
245lb....MERRY CHRISTMAS! 20lbs gone...
gloriann replied to MsThickSlimSexy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same to you!!! -
I disagree. My husband and I still go out to dinner. Of course, it's not as often and we watch the calorie intake. Of course, protein first! Though I have had the VSG, he is losing weight by following my program. We excercise together, and encourage one another on our journey. Good luck!

Success with portion control only? anyone?
gloriann replied to ladiJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use measuring cups and watch my portion size. I do it so I don't waste any food that I know I can't finish. It also helps me to watch my calorie intake. Of course, protein first! Good luck! -

Surgery 01/02 and getting nervous
gloriann replied to Heath55's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's normal to worry. You will be making a life style change. Just follow the directions from your doc and you should be fine. The first week or two after my surgery, I took things easy such as not lifting anything, and getting in my FLUIDS. You will do fine. Good luck on your journey! -
Why did you choose the sleeve after the band
gloriann replied to Dee-Texas's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I decided on the sleeve for my revision from the band instead of RNY because it is what advised by mr dr. It's one of the best decisions I have ever made. I would continue to research both surgeries and decide on the one that is right for you. Good luck on your decision and weight loss. -
Welcome!!! Congrats on your surgery. Good luck on your journey!
