Was sleeved on Nov. 18. Here I am, 5 days out and on the left incision, I get a burning sensation every time I move. I've limited my walking because if this. I find myself leaning forward to help relieve that pain which in turn ends up causing my back to hurt. Anyone else had this same feeling?

I've lost 100 lbs and have maintained it very well. Maintained for 5 months. I'm finding myself snacking more with slider foods and I'm getting worried. Anyone else find themselves in this spot? How did you get back on track?

Curious if any of you supplemented your weightloss with this supplement. ??

Ok. I've hit a stall and was curious if it was worth anything. Just keep on keeping on!

Semply, take it easy. Make sure you drink lots of water and drink some Isopure clear to get in your protein. Glad you are home!

I think I've started to think that the band is the way to go. I just am curious because it is such a new procedure, how many of you had it and what kind of complications you may have encountered. Also, it is reversible, correct?

Same here. Sugar still doesn't set well with me which is absolutely fine. Great job on the weightloss!

I haven't yet. Are they good?

Been reading your posts. I too am in DFW and Dr. Adam Smith is my surgeon. I was sleeved on Nov. 18. Doing ok. Don't progress too fast. I know the foods can seem boring but you'll get there. I promise. You don't want to cause any issues with your new stomach. So happy for all of you guys and glad you are doing well!!

Awesome success! I too was sleeved on Nov. 18. Have you been cleared to eat anything or have you been on protein drinks for a long period of time.

I'm one week out and am following a lot of threads on here. Thanks to you all. It has been very helpful. But I have read about some of you eating things causing dumping or slimed. What are these?

Mine said 70-90 g of protein daily from pre-op on. Protein will help that weight drop.

Pre-op is hard. Mine was only 2 weeks long and was nothing but a liquid diet, no meals. I did everything I could to stay preoccupied. My doctor would not operate if I didn't shrink down my liver. I didn't want to show up for surgery and be turned away. You can do it. Believe me, if I could do it you can. So many of us on here didn't think we could. Just keep your eyes on the prize!

As a sleeve patient 3 wks post op and drinking protein shake after protein shake, can we have peanut butter? I was considering adding some to my shake. Low fat, low sugar. Is there one out there that works for us?

That is awesome!! How far out are you post-op?

So helpful. Thank you both.

I have just started my 4th week post op. Looking for high Protein options for food. I have found some high protein I can find low or no sugar/low carb but I find the fat is a little high. Are you guys seeing this too? Also, Laughing Cow light cheese wedges - are these ok?

Thanks!!

Ok. Thank you both. I haven't tried pureeing any meats yet. Haven't been given clearance on meat from my dr yet.

I am in ending week 3. This week I was able to start puréed foods. Not sure how to do this. So I have basically lived on an egg every morning, protein shake, and refrained beans. I've noticed a stall. I haven't lost any weight this week. What have you done in order to consistently lose? What did your dr prescribe as number of carbs and number of protein?

I was sleeved on Nov. 18. All has been good and I have progressed well. Starting yesterday I started to get pain on the left side of my stomach. About 2 inches up from my incisions in the left side and under my rib cage I have such serious pain when I move. Feels like a serious stitch like when you run too much. Does anyone have this same pain?

I don't know. I'm a teacher and today we did a lab. I was on my feet all day moving and twisting around the classroom. Now this pain is so intense if I twist and each time I step with my left leg. The left side is where our stomachs are and that makes me nervous. I feel better when I can push in which makes me think it is the stomach wall healing - muscular pain instead of sleeve issues. Called my dr and asked and the first question they asked me was if I was swollen. But I've been swollen since the surgery and expected to be for 2-4 weeks out. Ugh. I don't know.

That's awesome news! Hope your appt goes well tomorrow.

Since surgery I am sensitive to lactose, but can do SF pudding. I'm doing an awful job of getting protein down. Can anyone suggest a protein shake that has worked for them if you are lactose sensitive?

Oh wow. Keep us updated.
