So, one day you look in the mirror post-op, and you notice you're LOSING WEIGHT!
Katrina replied to pistolpete's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did, and I loved it. I knew then I was beautiful. I was so in shock I pulled out my camera and snapped a picture of it. I was amazed. I dont see it every day so when I do I am shocked and happy all over again. -
TIFF save me!!! I was sleeved April 16th 2010. My surgery went wonderful. And since then I have LOST about 15 pounds give or take a pound or two. I get my Dr. required amount of protein, I get my water, I slack on my vits (trying hard though), I'm at a loss. Background on me. It turns out after surgery I am allergic to not that I just dont like them. But I am allergic to un-natural protein, powders, shots, drinks, you name it I cant take it. So my diet had to be slightly altered. I follow all guides my dr could ork with me for. He had never seen something so odd before and hes been doing this for years. Anywho, I first was thinking, my body was in shock:scared0:. And then after two weeks of that, I thought, Maybe just maybe it was cause I had lost 55 pounds before my surgery, and I was in body freak out mode.:eek: Ok so now whats the deal?? I eat something little every 2 hours, I drink all the time except right after a meal. Any idea's?

Thanks for popping into my topic. But I was wondering what you ment by the fact I wont have the kind of weight loss that happens right after surgery. I am a month out and 15/17 pounds is my great loss of the post surgery wave. I dont mind the ups and downs, I am at least not gaining and I love that. But I thought I would have seen a little more drop in weight. I know dont compair, but people who had surgery right near mind and some same day. Have lost up to 30 pounds. I figured I was doing something wrong. I love the idea its a marathon not a sprint, but really if it slows down after awhile what the heck am I gonna do?:scared0::001_huh: -
The floor can have my hair as long as I get the weight off

My days round out about 700-750 calories About 55-57 carbs good carbs (the heavy hit is from my oatmeal in the morning) 29 grams of Fat and 68-70 grams of protein I am getting my walking starting today about 2 miles I really hope that it helps. I had my blood drawn about 2.5 weeks ago and everything was ideal. I am seeing my bariatrician (I think thats how its spelt) a nurtionist specializing in WLS, on May 27th. -

I seem to have started with a steady rate. LOL slow. No the allergy does not bother me. As I am no longer on the supplements for Protein. -
I am also a member of both boards. I check OH daily and when I remember I bounce over here. I happen to prefer OH a tad more, oddly enough they seem so much more open. But I have found that the people I want to mainly hear about post at both boards so I dont miss much. I pop in here from time to time, there is good and bad about each site. DRAMA Galore everywhere. Best wishes dear... Kat

Each dr appt is different for each person. Just relax and enjoy it.

After Orientation = Kaiser Southern CA
Katrina replied to BlaqBeary's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was refered into Options May 11th of 2009 I started Options Classes Sept 3rd. 2009 I finished Options Classes Dec 17th 2009 I meet my Dr. January 7th 2010 My surgery is April 16th 2010 Cause the hospital I picked became over booked with 7 options classes finishing before the end of the year. -
I logged everything just like they asked. I walked for my workouts, but I had to stop 2 months early cause of an auto accident.

It is honestly not that new of a surgery. For WL yes but for in general not all that new. Now as a stand alone surgery many people are seeing better results from the sleeve then they would from the band. Nearing the exact same as the RnY, and if time keeps with the pace might even become the new 'gold' standard. So ask your questions and post your fears, what is freaking you out about it?
-
I did, and no it was not nearly as hard as I fear'd. I just really did the best I could do. I managed to drop 15% and they required only 10% I know a lot of people who didnt drop anything more then 5% but remember if it was easy to loss we would not be in Options trying to get ready for WLS.
Thats what my Dr. Said. Dont stress about it, DO WHAT YOU can do. Nothing more and nothing less.

I just had my 31st birthday on Tuesday and I must say, I loved every bite of my birthday cake. Since my surgery is in April I thought I would enjoy my birthday this year and not feel bad about anything of it. And if my moms card is right birthday calories dont count...

Katrina replied to Tina's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome to VST, I am pre-op so I dont have a story to read or share with you just yet. But best of luck on your journey. -
I think we all can relate to that issue. I am still pre-op and already did my consulation on January 7th my dr/hospital is backed up to April, so guess how I am feeling. It will come I am sure for us all.

Best of luck to you.

What do you want to do that you couldn't do before the sleeve?
Katrina replied to *susan*'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

I haven't had surgery yet, but I keep getting people's opinions.
Katrina replied to wannalise's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am pre-op but I can share my information. I told anyone and everyone. Especially the people I live with. My mother was not at all pleased to hear this when I informed her but the best thing I have ever told her was this. " I am doing this I am not asking for your approval or to be ok with it. I am asking for your support and if you cant offer that, I dont want to hear anything else on the matter." She was very understanding of the tone I had taken with her and the amount of fear it caused me to speak to my mother in such a fashion. (keeping in mind I am 30 years old and still would not order my mom around. Like I did. I later told my son nobody talks to Grandma like that.) Everyone else amazingly is very supportive of my choice and getting very excited as its getting closer. My mom also read every paper I was given on it and things I have found online and she is very supportive now.
