February Sleevers.... Check in!
joydenstar replied to Lulah's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
am sleeved on 5 Feb. Went almost straight from liquids to soft, with only a few days on puree. However, do get me right, I only started soft this week after being on liquids for almost 4.5 weeks. Was struggling with puree at the three weeks' mark after being advised by nut to go on puree. Tried puree but somehow did not work so well and went back to liquid. Was only on puree for maybe, 3 days before my last visit to the NUT. Nevertheless, NUT wanted me to start eating soft foods and hence I am eating banana, salmon and white fish Soup now with much lesser difficulty than puree. Chew,chew, chew, my fellow sleevers. We will get there soon! -
help...I can't poop
joydenstar replied to hazeleyes8361's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had not pooped for almost 4 days. I took a cup of prune juice today and two hours later, I went to the toilet. Such relief! -

Hi Ladies, PCOS was the main reason why I decided to opt for this surgery. I got to say it is still early days BUT since my surgery on 5 Feb, I have two periods, one - six days post op and one three weeks later. Hence, there is hope for all of us!
-
Thank you! I was sleeved on 5 Feb which should be quite close to you. Go on, girl! We can do it!

Thanks Linda for the note. I did not realize there is large curd ones. Yes mine was those which resembled pastes with small individual curds. -

joydenstar replied to joydenstar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Zoumommy, I tried the cottage cheese today. I did not have to blend it (and this is coming from a person who cannot tolerate banana soy milk on Tuesday). It just takes a bit of chewing and I found that I did not have any pain swallowing it. -
Ready for the hospital

Cheating the consultation scale...
joydenstar replied to msjoy83's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Drinking water just before does add to your weight. Maybe,drink one litre just before the weigh-in? Wish you all the best? -

What is realistic weight loss with the sleeve?
joydenstar replied to Zoumommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor says that 30% of body weight is easily lost with surgery realistically. The remainder had to be lost through determination and will. I was slightly discouraged when I first heard him say as I have definitely loads more to lose than 30%. However, I truly believe as long as I strive on, I will definitely be able to make it. -
congrats!
