August post op sleevers: Check in
JenBenjamin replied to motherof5's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved Aug 11 and feel so great! I am now eating regular food and haven't had any issues. It seems crazy that I had this surgery only 5 weeks ago- definitely a turn around from the 1st week regrets I had! -

Question for those that had the drain in when they left the hospital.
JenBenjamin replied to FitnFabfor2014's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wonder why some surgeons do drains and others don't. I also didn't have drains and from reading posts I am so glad I didn't have them -
I'm 5 weeks post op tomorrow and I finally came out of my 2 1/2 week stall this last Thursday and it's like everyone says the weight starts falling off again so hang in there!

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU ALL LOST IN THE FIRST MONTH
JenBenjamin replied to BrandyV's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am 5 weeks post op tomorrow and my scale finally started moving this last Thursday after a 2 1/2 week stall! even though I understood the whole physiology of the stall it still totally sucked to have the scale not even move an ounce!! I did a little happy dance this Thursday when I was down and it has continued to move everday. so hopefully your stall will be over in the next week also -
I am an August 11th sleever and now that I'm eating more regular food that feeling of hunger is going away I'm starting to feel like a normal person eating again lol my scale also started moving again once I introduced more regular food into my day! that 2 1/2 week stall was tough!!

1 Year Post Op & 136 Pounds Lost (with pics)
JenBenjamin replied to livvsmum's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 5 weeks post op tomorrow and you are such an inspiration! !! Great job! -
I was also sleeved on Aug 11 I lost 13lbs really quick and then stalled out for 5 days. My scale finally moved 2 more lbs yesterday once I was able to get my calories up to 600 from 450.

JenBenjamin replied to ayscott74's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was cleared for soft foods on Monday but I have been afraid to try to many different things. I'm sticking to my Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs and protein drinks- it's getting old but I'm afraid of having a bad food experience! -

JenBenjamin replied to ayscott74's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too am having more pain on my right side but I think mine is from overdoing it and hurting that muscle. I have been stuck at losing 13lbs- scale hasn't budged in 4 days but I am feeling really good so I need to focus on that -
Had my Sleeve Aug 20, 2014
JenBenjamin replied to banffbuck's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Holy cow I can't believe your process moved so fast!!! I had to go through so many hoops to get approved by Insurance. There is no way I would have been mentally ready that quick and even with the time I took I still have days of doubts. I am sure those will lessen the further out from surgery. -
Had my Sleeve Aug 20, 2014
JenBenjamin replied to banffbuck's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My first week I felt the same. I took my time leading up to surgery and then immediately after surgery I was worried I had made a huge mistake. I think it has to do with mourning the relationship we have always known with food. I am now two weeks post op and I am pain free and tolerating my diet and feel really good about having the surgery -

JenBenjamin replied to ayscott74's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been the same the last few days! I hope I am not at a stall two weeks out. I have lost a total of 13lbs since surgery so I am still doing great I just haven't had any big drops since the first week. -
Blending protein drinks causing too much air?
JenBenjamin replied to JenBenjamin's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I did end up letting mine sit in the fridge after a few drinks but I am definitely going to try the immersion blender! Thanks
