Hello, I had my sleeve surgery on 06/11/2014; for the past 2 weeks I have had acne breakouts. Normally I have good skin however; this is way out of the norm. I was my face everyday, I am just wondering if this is a normal reaction from surgery.

So, today is my 5 week Anniversary! I started this process on 06/01 since then i have lost 28lbs. I am little discouraged with the amount of weight that I lost. For some reason I thought that I would have loss more weight by now. The past 2 weeks I didnt lost any weight; just yesterday I lost 1lb. ONE POUND, Are you kidding me? I started working out at least 3 times a week, and I am watching my diet. So far I am enjoying cereal for breakfast, chicken and salad for lunch and dinner however; I do find myself hungry every 2 hours so I have snacks in between meals. Another thing that is currently bothering me is HEART BURN! I've had heartburn for 3 weeks now, it drives me CRAZY! Also, I am not sure if i am chewing my food enough or I am eating too fast however; I feel like my food gets stuck on the way down. I must say I do miss the realationship I had with food, i just need to have a better relationship with the gym.

28 lbs in five weeks is wonderful and nothing to sneeze at.
The food getting stuck means your not chewing enough and eating to fast.
What surgery did you have? You shouldn't be having heartburn and I would if I were you tell your surgeon about it immediately.
You're on the right track so stay there and stop weighing yourself more then once a week. It's bad for your mind set. Those numbers if you don't like them can throw you off track if you get upset. Weigh only once a week if you must and do it always on the same day at the same time wearing the same thing.
Keep on going.

I had my 6 week check up today. One week more will make a difference! Last week I still was just sipping. Today I am really really drinking! Like regular/normal. I was worried I could be stretching and my doctor said NO, that drinking will become normal again. So now drinking is easier. So food should be easier soon. Still taking it slow but I know progress is coming.
Hang in there! You're doing great!

Wow I never thought this day would be here! Today I leave to have my sleeve surgery. When I first started this process I was so scared and nervous however; now I am excited! I am on my 7th day of my liquid diet. While on the liquid diet Monday-Friday was not hard at all however this weekend was hard. I wanted nothing more than to snack, and eat food. Man I miss food!! I am proud to say since I have been on the liquid diet I have lost 12lbs. Losing the weight on the liquid diet has motivated me so much and has taken away my fear of having the sleeve surgery. I am leaving tonight, and will fly out on Tuesday and have surgery on Wednesday. I am all packed and ready to go. I guess as ready as I'll ever be. I am so ready for this new life! I want put adventure in my life! There are so many things I want to do once I am all healed up; I can't wait! Please keep me, my doctor, and his staff in your prayers. Thanks for listening!!

So...I have been diet since 01/13/2014, year to date I am down 40lbs!! I am so excited about this mile stone. the 1st 30lbs came from proper dieting and working out, the last 10lbs are from the liquid diet. I was nervous about having surgery; now I am excited because I can't wait for the pounds to come off. I am 5 days away from surgery and I hope to lose at least lose 10 more lbs by Wednesday.

lizjim30 replied to SeattleJane's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello! I will have surgery on 6/11, I'm on day 3 I my liquid diet. I haven't lost as much weight as I thought. I get nervous and scared however; I can't wait for my end result. -
Wow! Since may the 12th? That's a long diet? I've been dieting since January however the liquid diet is something else. The diet is ok at work, around 2:00 it gets rough that's when I crave a snack. I really miss my snacks and crunchy things. Are you drinking protein shakes as well?

Hello, I am on day 2 of my liquid diet. I am having surgery on 06/11. Yesterday and today have not been bad however last night was not good. I decided to have beef broth instead of chicken broth and it grossed me out, it made me sick. -

Hello! So today is the 2nd day of my liquid diet! I am 8 days away from surgery, and I feel ok. I guess the worse apart is dealing with the liquid diet. I miss food already.

Awesome! Sounds good to me!! I actually have 3 other friends who are going to have surgery the same day as we however, I don't think we have any idea what to expect, other than saying "LETS STAY POSITIVE". I did "My story" yesterday on my profile and it helped me a lot. I think I am going to do a daily blog, just to help with the anxiety I feel I cause myself. -
