I am getting close to where I have always stalled/plateaued in my weight loss efforts before. To be honest I am getting anxious about it, I guess I am afraid to fail again. Things are going well. I am two weeks post op today and I have lost 28 pounds. I just hope that if I continue to do what I am supposed to do that the scale will move in the right direction. I am looking forward to saying goodbye to the 280s forever.

Why did you choose VGS instead of Bypass and any regrets.
amper02 replied to klock's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I chose VSG because with the band you have a foreign object in your body and it has the potential of moving or eroding into your stomach. I did not want bypass because of the higher risk of complications. There was something that seemed a little extreme about rerouting my intestines. The sleeve seemed like a wonderful happy medium. I am 38 days out and thrilled with my decision. -

Yep! Tfar my mother in law! Everything went good. She doesn't agree with my decision. I guess her opinion will matter when it is her body. -

The morning of my surgery my mother in law asked me if it was worth my life!!! If I stay MORBIDLY OBESE it will end my life. The nerve of some people!!!! -
I was sleeved on 10/20. I am always soooooo thirsty I drink and drink and drink water.... It doesn't seem to quench my thirst. I have tried crystal light, adding lemon drinking it super cold or room temp. Before surgery/preop, the only thing that made me not thirsty was soda. I know that isn't an option now.... Trying not to fall back into old habits. Any suggestions?

Getting close to where I plateaued before

Thanks guys!!! -
I had some of the broth off of it a day or so ago. I am about the stage you are in. I was only able to eat a few spoonfuls. I would say just to be careful not to eat the chunks and in moderation.

I was sleeved on 10/20. Today I am 299.2! This may not be a big deal to some, but boy am I excited! Next stop is Onderland!

I am 31. Glad you are doing a little better. I did a preop diet for 2 weeks of protein shakes and liquids. I think it made a difference. Also my surgery was done with a devinche(sp) robot. Not sure if that made a difference or not. Most of my soreness is where my Jp drain was.

I also had my surgery on Oct 20th. I am home and getting around pretty good. I am a little tender and sore when I get up and down, but other than that things are going well. Praying for a speedy recovery for you!

END OF OCTOBER/FIRST OF NOVEMBER SURGERIES/BUDDIES NEEDED
amper02 replied to Packerfan61964's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am scheduled for 10/20 with Dr. Oldham in Louisville, KY. -
I am about 19 days pre op. My surgeon suggested that I get some Protein shots to try for post op. I am supposed to drink one a day. I have tried to flavors of the New whey protein shots, the watermellon and the grape and they are both HORRIBLE. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
-
Thanks guys! Jamie, the surgeon suggested that we get at least one of those down in a 24 hour period, not drinking it all at once, but gradually during the course of the day. I will have to try the fruit punch.

Starting My Sleeve Journey/Baptist Hospital East
amper02 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am going to my first seminar on 3/15 with my first appointment on 3/25. I am nervous but excited all at the same time. Not sure what to expect. Any other Baptist Hospital East, Louisville, KY sleevers out there?
