Anyone Have A Relatively Easy Recovery Story?
SleeveNZ replied to Birdy18's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Overall i had a fantastic recovery like i expected. I had nausea for the first few hours which was managed pretty quickly via meds. Only the first 2 days were what have i done to myself moments. No vomiting and zero pain. I slept on my stomach after 3 days. I even had enough energy to do a 6km event run 10 days later. 8 weeks out now and 50lbs down. I feel great. I'm a happy customer -
Is it possible to start stalling in first 2 weeks? Concerned
SleeveNZ replied to Joy0125's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a week 2 stall lasting 10 days. They can happen anytime .... you still lose inches though so it's just the scale catching up. -
ONLY 9lbs?? That's a good loss at 6 months out! I never join gyms cos i can never stick with it. Walking ... running .... swimming ... team sports? Mix it up with some weights and toning exercises too!

Ugh....weight loss stopped
SleeveNZ replied to gigi2195's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You aren't ding anything wrong. Your body is just catching up ... you are going through what's called a stall. Were you not told about them by your DR or NUT? -
Rice crackers 3rd week.

Would you do it again?

Dose anyone know if we can drink gatorade
SleeveNZ replied to Breeg89's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not on my plan but everyone seems to have a diff set of rules.. How about powerade zero or a sugarfree alternative. If you need some kind of sugar though try V8 diluted 1:2 or apple juice diluted 1:5 -
Duhhhhh .... I meant the OP diet of pureed vegies and fruit
-
Where's the protein though??? That's a full carb diet right there.
-
Have you tried pureed meat??? EW.
-
Oh dear ... go back in there. I try to adjust to my diet to food menus. Eating with family is important to me. I did chose the op and i dont want them to have to make food choices and sacrifices around my diet. The other day my family wanted sushi. I cant eat rice. So pushed out and ate the veges and meat. Why can't you pick the top of the pizza and eat the meat and cheese? Go for an extra long walk when you get home
-
It's just a stall. I had mine after 7 days and it lasted 10 days. Measure yourself - you will still be losing inches your body's just catching up now!! 30-40lbs in the first month is quite unrealistic unless you were at a high weight to begin with. Aim for 20 lbs otherwise you will set yourself up for disappointment. I thinking lost 23lbs and I'm a runner ...

Sorry me just stereotyping. I assumed U.S and fried meant in a litre of fat. I make omelettes every morning with spray oil or 1 tsp butter. That could be another alternative?
-
How long on Full Liquids? My Dr. say 5 weeks before puree's.
SleeveNZ replied to lynschance's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
3 weeks liquids - including soups. -
You can have scrambled, poached eggs after 3 weeks. Fried - never. This is on my avoid permanently list. You need to make lifestyle choices with this op.

Cheated and very scared/emotional
SleeveNZ replied to TXGIRL80's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My concern is what the OP is going to be eating when they are cleared for most foods .... cookies, popcorn are slider foods and chicken nuggets that are processed and deep fried .... hmmm. I am sure you haven't done any permanent damage but you really need to be sticking to your plan .... all these are no-no foods. Here's me thinking I'm all bad arse and rebel for moving to puree stage 1 day early at 3 weeks!! -
A month out...How much Should I be able to eat?
SleeveNZ replied to buttrfli1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I could have red meat straight away. Had no problems -

I have to know, does the hunger/appetite REALLY disappear?
SleeveNZ replied to Jenny12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Also 7 weeks out and still get hungry ... not like before as it is so easily satisfied again. I also feel like my current portion sizes are smaller than they should be. I was told by 3 months I should be eating between 1/2-3/4 cup. There is no way I can do that currently eating dense protein. Very occasionally I will measure lunch and eat it over the afternoon as I find reduces snacking. -
What was your Christmas meal like?
SleeveNZ replied to PdxMan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Never weighed my food as I can never get anywhere near the recommended amount by my NUT! My stomach tells me when I'm full Who wants to measure food on Xmas day anyways?
