Wow! great weight loss. keep it up! -
3 weeks post op and need some diet opinions.
Tink22-sleeve replied to PIRATE~MOM's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
i think i was eating about that amount at 3 weeks. and i would eat that amount 4-5 times a day. No worries. sounds normal to me -
Congrats on your upcoming surgery!! the pre op diet is a huge pain, but you can do it! we will be here to support you

Lying about the surgery at work.... Please help!
Tink22-sleeve replied to anna eve's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think the hernia or gallbladder excuses are the best ones. no need to explain the subsequent weight loss. no one will connect the dots. -
Breast lift only - how long should I wait?
Tink22-sleeve replied to Jenny12's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I agree with mariamitani. Wait til you stabilize on your weight loss, or are done having babies. -
so everybody pretty much starts eating norm...

I started introducing "normal" foods at 4 weeks. -

knee surgery before sleeve?
Tink22-sleeve replied to jennyfromthewood's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had 2 miniscus repairs and finally a total knee replacement (TKR) 3 years ago. At time of surgery i weighed 220. by the time i was sleeved 5 months ago i weighed 254. The rehab from the TKR was long and awful. since being sleeved i am down to 192 and my knee feels great! I am active and feeling great! Wish i would have gotten sleeved before the knee surgery. -

2months post op....down 42lbs! What are you eating?
Tink22-sleeve replied to dat_sweetmami's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
At 2 months out i was gradually introducing new foods into my diet. i never had any problems except with chicken (feels like a brick in my chest.). i avoid bread and pasta. take it slow and easy and pretty soon you'll be able to enjoy small amounts of just about anything. good luck! -
Good luck with your journey. it will be worth it. the sleeve is a wonderful tool. i think this site has a wealth of info that will help you along the way, as well as some really great people that dont mind answering any questions.

Yuk! Stretch Marks
Tink22-sleeve replied to dawndenise's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Great job on the weight loss! sorry about the stretch marks. i have heard that it is hereditary and not much you can do about it. thankfully they will fade over time. -
Sleeved 3/25/13 - selfie headshots :)
Tink22-sleeve replied to BlessedBeyondMeasure2012's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You klook great! I can totally see a difference. looking forward to seeing your full pics! Keep up the good work! -
yes, the pre op diet is a drag. but it helps to shrink your liver so the surgeon has an easier time. You can do it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U4P04vm-7U&feature=youtu.be Here is some info on Visalus- a good Protein drink. i am not a distributor, but i know one if you are interested. it is a marketing thing...but the shakes are good.

I read it in the patient handout that I got when the IUD was placed. Maybe check their website? Best of luck!

i have the mirena IUD and do not plan on having more kids. however, according to the literature, return to fertility should occur with the next menstrual cycle. Good luck!!

Pre op diet vomiting, any recommendations?
Tink22-sleeve replied to Nelly1828's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

I am 4/20 friendly and have been since one week post op. helped with the nausea, too. (Save me from the lectures too, please)

New to the Sleeve, but not new to WLS

Congrats on your journey! i just want to say that i dont think they can get away with firing you from your job, due to the FMLA (family medical leave act). Bad employer!
