has anyone been sleeved that had 50-60 pounds to lose?
gamergirl replied to nomorecupcakes's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I hadnt seen the numbers you quoted above about 25% of excess by 7 weeks etc. They give me hope! Do you remember where you found those? Would love to learn more about that. I started at BMI 37 and it's much slower going for us of course, so good to get educated about what's "normal" for us. -
I find dried edamame satisfy my need for a salty crunch while giving me good amounts of protein and fiber. May be worth trying

How much protein are you getting?
gamergirl replied to patter5r's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3 mons out and really nothing bothers my sleeve. But I still need to do one sometimes two shakes or a bar a day to hit 60-80 gms of protein. I have a thread here titled "tired of protein shakes?" That has tips that might help you get your protein. -
A new life ahead of you. New beginnings. It's all good and the very best if luck to you tomorrow. Do post when you can to let us know how it's gone.

Before and after picture

Wow! What a big difference! How much have you lost already? you look great. -
I was sleeved 10/2. I was 230 at high weight, 222 day of surgery. I'm "only" down to 194 today. I've stalled 3 times, for 12+ days each time. I'd kill to have lost as much as you did. And btw, I stick to the plan very tightly. Don't compare yourself to people who have different amounts to lose, who are younger, who are male, etc. you're doing just fine as long as you're following your plan.

White tongue could be thrush for sure. If it persists, I'd call the doc.

I was terrified of doing something wrong and developing a leak. Nothing would taste so good that I was willing to risk death over it. And really now at 3 months? I kinda remember it--but not really. In the long run I remember the weight I lost then, not how much it sucked
-
Smart choice! You'll get through it and do so safely and that's what you will remember in the long run.

You might find this thread of use. I have a few tips posted on how to cope with the full liquids etc. phases http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/96869-tired-of-protein-shakes-nauseated-by-them-try-this/page__hl__protein

You and i were sleeved the same day and had the same high weight

NOW she tells us! This is cool, how could we not know this? Perhaps it's because we aren't victorian ladies. On my FB, i just posted a link from buzzfeed that said 21 signs that being ladylike is not your forte. Maybe that's why I didn't know about stepping into control garments either.
