Please Help! Im A Little Worried.
Vford70 replied to blackanese25's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't panic and don't give up. I gained at the beginning also. I am now 13 months post op and down 117 lbs. The important things are that you are getting in fluids and protein. Give it time it will melt off. -
Your doing great. You will have stalls but don't give up. Even though your on a scale stall you are probably still losing inches. I wish I would have measured myself prior to surgery but I didn't measure for 2 months after.

Tomorrow will be my 6 months post op. I had my surgery on November 22. My beginning weight was 282 and as of today I am 187. I am down 95 lbs. I went from a size 22 to a 12. I am so loving my sleeve.

Thanks everyone it is a great feeling

Don't buy much at once. I have gone from 22-12 in six months. I would only buy from the goodwill store or get hand me downs from co-workers.

I'm three months out and still carry gum every where. Doctor said it will go away once I start eating more food other than protein. -
6 Month Post-op Carb-free Diet?
Vford70 replied to My Big Day 3/15/2011's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3 months out and my doctor recommended the same diet. I had to start walking the day of surgery. I mostly eat protein can't fit anything else. -

When to go back to work?
Vford70 replied to DragonFlyFree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't have any drains. I went back to work 1 week after having my surgery done. Everyone at work that knew I had it was really supportive. -

Having a hard time eating, drinking all of my liquids any suggestions?
Vford70 replied to onedivanms's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did the protein shots 25g of protein. I bought mine from Wal-Mart. I would drink one first thing in the morning to get some protein in. I got tired of the shakes quick. I started adding a little water to them to water it down some to drink it. -
Band or sleeve...how do you decide?
Vford70 replied to apw0's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Personally I have a couple of ladies I work with that had problems with the lap band. I also have issues with my body rejecting foreign objects. The sleeve was right for me b/c I am not having anymore kids and I want a permanant change. Don't have to worry about paying for fills. -
Sleeve Recovery Time? ..Have walking job..
Vford70 replied to renniemommie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my sleeve on November 22, I spent 2 days in hospital. No drain tubes. I had my precedure on a Monday and returned to work with no problems the following Monday. I think it all depends on the person. I also have to go up stairs at work and had very little problems. I started walking the day of surgery. The more you walk the better you will feel. I only used Tylenol liquid Adult rapid release for pain. -
I am 6 weeks out. I sit down can't wait to eat something take 2 bites and I am done. Today is my son's birthday and he want to go eat out tonight and I'm dreading it because I know I can't eat much.

On Nov 5 I started my pre-op diet. That day my weight was 280. November 22 was my sleeve surgery date. Today Dec 30 my weight is 236.
