Looking for December 2014 sleeve support/friends...
kabertoson replied to CJSLEEVE's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello all. I was sleeved on 12/30/2014. I too am falling back into old habits. I restarted my food journal. I find that I am eating around 2k a day. Still working on getting the protein up though. Does 2k calories seem normal to any of you? I travel quite a bit for work and I have been unable to make my support group meetings. If anyone has suggestions please let me know. Thanks you! -

Will drinking water stretch my sleeve?
kabertoson replied to kabertoson's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you all for your advice. By short order I mean , 10 minutes. As for my exercise, I need to get better. The same goes the same for the food log. I am going to start tracking again to see what I am doing. -
I am 12 months post op and have not lost anything for two months. I do drink lots of water. I can drink 24 ounces at a time with no problem. Is this an issue? Am I stretching my sleeve out? Thanks.

New issue? Feeling dumb seven months after surgery
kabertoson posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello everyone. I am seven months post op sleeve. Everything has been going great, I am down 80+ pounds and overall feeling great. Of course I've had my share of stalls and passed through them. My current issue is I cannot seem to shake this feeling of being dumb. I find myself unable to remember things at work that I should know. I e mailed my NUT asking if there may be something missing in my diet. However, with the holiday weekend I won't hear back until next week. I feel like I am going crazy. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks. -

Mike4132, yes I did! Thank you. Two weeks later I dropped 5 lbs. I still have a ways to go. Getting enough protein is still an issue for me though

Ok. I was sleeved on 12/30/2014. I was down 46 pounds from me pre op weight, however this week I gained 2 pounds. Is this normal for a stall? It is so disappointing. Thanks.

The first catheter I was out for, however, because I could not go cathed me again. I was wide awake and scared. Yes it was uncomfortable at first, and hurt a bit, but overall not that bad. It will be over before you know it.

I am seven weeks out of surgery. I find that I can tolerate most foods, however, I am at a loss for snacks. Aside from protein bars does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
-
What are some protein bars you would recommend? I still am looking.

On the other side . . . .

I felt terrible for the first 18 hours after surgery. Now at one month out I feel amazing! Good luck on your journey! -
Question about the restriction feeling
kabertoson replied to laurashelby's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a month out of surgery and I had the same issue. I never really felt full, but I stopped when I ate the right portion. I did get sick once, however, I think it was because I ate too fast. I also found that as long as I get my protein in I don't feel hungry. Maybe I am being overly cautious. I just don't like feeling sick. Good luck! I am ready to begin introducing some real food, just in the right portions. -
Yeah, 100 pounds down but 100 to go.
kabertoson replied to screwthescale's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Way to go! You look great. Before you know it another 100 lbs will be gone. -
I am almost two weeks out of surgery and feeling great. In a few weeks I have to begin traveling for work. Does anyone have suggestions on how to eat healthy on the road. I drive And fly equally. Therefore, when I drive I can brings own snacks etc. not sure what to do about flying though. Thanks.

still hungry on the post op diet?
kabertoson replied to kabertoson's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
@4 the better. It sounds like you are doing great! I weigh myself everyday, but that's just me. I am finding I am driving myself a little nuts doing it though. I will stretch it out some. As for discomfort, the first 18 hours after surgery we bad for me. Then it was like a switch flipped and I started feeling great. Make sure you are getting enough protien. I was not, And I was hungry all the time. Once I upped my protien intake I felt better. Good luck on your journey! -
