December Surgery Dates
sunbunny83 replied to KimTriesRNY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thought I’d check in with my Dec 2017 sleevers!! I had my surgery on 12/4/2017. Currently down 110 pounds since surgery. Sometimes I can’t even believe it. Best thing I ever did for myself 🥰💗🙌🏼. I honestly had the best experience and would recommend WLS to anyone that needs it. -

Having Gastric Sleeve and I’m scared!
sunbunny83 replied to KrystalRose's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I posted almost the exact same thing a week before my surgery- 12/4. I was 100% determined and convinced through the 5 month process that this was right for me AND then I freaked out 7 days before. Luckily, I came to my senses bc I realized it was the best thing I could ever do for myself. I'm almost 8 weeks post op and down 40 pounds and it's an unbelievable feeling. I'd imagine your recovery will go well especially since you are so young. I'm 34 and I was walking around the hospital floor the same night I had the surgery. You will definitely have pain bc duh.. it's surgery but like some else said-- take the drugs lol. I was feeling fine the next day and even left the hospital early. At home, I did have the left shoulder gas pain which is a pain in the a**, but it only lasted a few days for me. They recommended liquid gas-x to me. Other than that just minor physical inconveniences and being tired from healing. The hard part for me has been figuring out how much and what to eat and making sure I get my protein and water intake -- but I manage and I'm learning. Best part is no hunger!!!! And of course losing the weight. Good Luck!!! 💕💕 -
Hi! I'm 8 weeks post-op and wondering if strawberries are ok to eat/add to smoothies?! I only had to see a nutritionist pre-op and I vaguely remember her saying something negative about strawberries.... I think something about the seeds. I was at my surgeon's office this week and he pretty much said all healthy options are open now, but I forgot to ask!!! Any info would be helpful. thanks!

In week two, my surgeon recommended homemade chicken soup with dark meat chicken and the veggies chopped small. I also could drink low fat milk and I ate a lot of cheese. Hopefully this helps!!

It's likely "more potent" bc of your weightloss.

Favorite VSG Youtube channels?
sunbunny83 replied to VSGnewguy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I love Clusie! She keeps it real... is super informative and hilarious. Her story about why she chose VSG helped me make my decision. 💕 -
Milk of magnesia! Can't repeat this enough. I was never constipated before surgery and this is what helped me through it.

Constipation after Gastric Sleeve
sunbunny83 replied to NewGuy47's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My doctor recommended Smooth Move Tea, but the best thing that's helped me is Milk of Magnesia. -

Sleeve Buddy need - Surgery date 12/4
sunbunny83 replied to sunbunny83's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Omg! Lol. I meant to write NOT wanting to eat. I'll fix my post. I've been really great with water and protein shakes and don't really care for much else. -

How long to wait post op to visit chiropractor?
sunbunny83 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all! I'm suffering from sciatica. I had back pain before my surgery on 12/4 and I had an adjustment right before it. Unfortunately about a week after, I twisted the wrong way and my back has been killing me since. I thought it would get better but it hasn't. 😭. I called my surgeon today and he is out until Jan 2. I want to visit the chiropractor but I fear it's too early.... anyone have any experience with this?
