I just had my surgery 11 days ago but I have lost 51 pounds since july 10th. So far no face sag. I am worried about looking older too. So far I don't. I am more worried about having major elephant body and rear wrinkles and sags but Ihave about 95 more pounds to go s o I am not sure what will happen in the future. Hopefully exercise will keep the elephant wrinkles away.

Day Two Post Op & So Much Pain
Bronco0605 replied to HotMessPrincess's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My first few days were awful! Do you have pain meds? Definitely take them! I am ten days out and I still need mine sometimes. I also found that childrens tylenol chewables work really well too if you don't want the narcotic pain reliever from the doc. -

Day 5 Post Op, Still Very Sick , Need Help!
Bronco0605 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know you guys will have ideas. This is day 5 and I feel awful! I still can only keep down clear fluids(about 16 oz per day) though my post op diet is full liquids. I can barely gag down my medicine. I am so weak and not thinking straight. I felt really good when I left the hospital but ever since it has been downhill. -
Day 5 Post Op, Still Very Sick , Need Help!
Bronco0605 replied to Bronco0605's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes in pain too! I called the doc yesterday and he said I could go in for some fluids. I decided to try to see what I could do yesterday. It doesn't help that my 2 of my prescriptions were not covered and I was waiting on my paycheck until yesterday. Now I have all the meds and we made a quick store run. I still think I might go in for the fluids today. -
I would not do it. I think it would be a slippery slope!

Why The Sleeve Over Bypass
Bronco0605 replied to follmerpa's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I chose the sleeve because I have seizure disorder and migraines and also a complicated surgical history with severe adhesions. So number one I need to be able to absorb my medicine and number two my intestines are already scarred . Everyone's case is different. -
What Damage Have I Done?
Bronco0605 replied to lose.n.8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every doctors plan is different. When I come home I will be on full liquids which includes the yogurt and milk but not the ricotta. Are you on full liquids or only the protein shakes? -

Help Liquid Diet For 2 Weeks...
Bronco0605 replied to linda305's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It really sucks. For some people it gets better but for me it has not. Each day has sucked just as much. I have not even lost much weight for all the suffering. Day 12 and I have only lost 7 pounds on this pre op liquid stupidness. -
The "if You Can Do That, You Don't Need Surgery" Comment
Bronco0605 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Since July I have lost 36 lbs by following the nutritionists intructions and increasing my exercising(still not enough). Now family members and friends are saying well geez if you can lose that much in four months you really should not have surgery just keep up what you are doing. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. I wish someone in my family besides my husband would get just how important this is to me. -

Liquids for 6 weeks, you are a champ! Why are they making you wait almost another month? How are dealing with the new date? Hang in there!

New Directions Products, Required By My Doc For Pre Op
Bronco0605 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Does any one have to use these? We are required to use it and it is very expensive. I have been onthe preop diet now for 10 days and the flavors of shake soup and pudding are not bad over all. Just costly. I don't see many people using them on here.
