Official Ongoing Gastric Sleeve Maintenance Thread
goin4it replied to Oregondaisy's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
Every time I have a doctor visit I tell him we need to redo my sleeve. I am 8months out, down 45Lbs, I am happy, however, i have taken up jogging and I'm thinking the weight should be just dropping off...NOT! I can intake too much, especially at work...when I'm home I do not graze, at work it is a struggle -
Good luck, I hope the scale is good to you!

I spend many weeks stuck. Your progress is better then mine. I started 220 and down to 173 and its been 8 months. Maybe change something, exercise more or harder. I have to eat less

The Good, the Bad, but Mostly, the UGLY

I am 5 months out. I was like you, i wanted to know all possibilities so I was prepared. Knock on wood i have not had any of the side effects. No constipation no vomiting no dehyrdration. I take a tsp of metimulcil Twice a day. Its clear and tastless. I put it in my tea. I woke up in hospital with no tubes all was removed upon me waking up. I had no gas settling pains. Get up and start walking RIGHT away in hospital. Only had the soar incision where stomach is pulled thru. Other then that...this was easy -
Starting my 3 week Skim Milk diet today.
goin4it replied to Amie's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I didnt have a liquid pre op diet, just a 1200 cal a day. Maybe because my BMI just met requirement...but I just wanted to say..please have NO FEAR of a liquid diet after surgery. It is easy. I never was a liquid dieter and that was my fear. But VERY EASY! And make sure u drink water after..dehyrdration is huge and can be painful. Force urself to drink water -
Dawn can you give an update on how you feel now? I'm 3 months out, no regrets and I think my DOC needs to take more of my stomach out. I've had No restrictions no problems with bathroom or dehydration. I drink plenty of water from day one. I haven't had a protein shake in a while because I'm eating enough food. But I feel my loss is slow and I know it's the choices I make. I hope all is well!

Share your "slow loss" success!
goin4it replied to clk's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I am down 32lbs in 3 months. I know it could've been more. I feel I can still eat whatever. NOTHING bothers my stomach. I am a grazer at work, a habit that I HAVE to break. I just started exercising the past 3 weeks, mostly walking..i wear a fitbit and work on 10k steps a day. I have many weeks where i gain and it stays with me for a week or so. Thats when i really want to kick myself -

I'm a slow loser too. Nothing I can't eat. I graze at work. I always said my job made me fat. I need to go to someone who specialize in behavior! -
