Does having a baby ruin your sleeve and weight loss?
gettingtothenewme replied to Comfy_Blue's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I am currently 17 months post-op. 37 years old. I am at the maintaining level and happy with weight. I had 2 pregnancies prior to surgery (many years apart). Spouse and I are thinking we would like another. original weight 240- now between 138-144. Water weight sucks. I am off the BC because of side affects. Any one have any input on side affects of losing weight after? -
I'm in need of help.

Did you have issues with peanut butter? Like nausea? I started to feel sick after but family happened to be sick so I was not sure if it was PB or virus. Also what do you eat with yours? Yes i can't eat peanut butter anything. -
How long did your hair fall out?
gettingtothenewme replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I lose hair but can't honestly say it's more than before. I have fine curly hair. If I wash it and put no product in it, I lose less but that was true before surgery. I did cut a ton off as part of the make over. I wash my hair everyother day so what I lose I figure is 2 days worth. Dr and hair dresser it's normal to lose 100-150 strands daily. -
3 month check up I hit my 60% mark but now having a hard time getting past 60-62 lbs. Any advice

3 months out
gettingtothenewme replied to gettingtothenewme's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Calories 600-900, I walk 3-4 miles a day. Fluids vary. I try. Protein I don't get the 60 grams. 50 is usually good for me. I weigh less in morning by 2 lbs but through the day I put that back on. So bounce from 168-170 daily. -
this is fantastic. You're a rock star!

very slow weight loss/please need advice
gettingtothenewme replied to sbg224's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Everyone is different. Hour body is adjusting. I lost quick but then hit plateaus for a week. That is a shocking revelation. I think once your body adjust the weight will follow. 1 week out you're still full of Fluid and gas. I'm on a plateau now for approaching 2 weeks. I know it's frustrating. Sometimes you have to up your calories to get your body out of starvation mode. -
You know you lost weight when
gettingtothenewme replied to Thomas CPA's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I love getting to go to TJ max and not having to shop in plus size. I'm 3.5 months out, and have gone from a 20 to an 8/10 pant size. Almost got into a size 8 dress but my bust is still to big. I love 5hat feeling you have lots of selection and can try just about anything on. -
I had a bad feeling after pasta.

I ate a pancake!
gettingtothenewme replied to wannaBthinsoon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try out carb quik. 2 g or protein, 2 net carbs. And they have sugar free maple syrup. Pancakes can be eaten in the small portions we can hold and healthier -
For those that are 3-6 months out and more. Are you able to ever eat more and 3 bites of anything?

If strips make you nauseated then try your zofran 30 minutes before then a strip. I never experienced the gas pain but I have a friend you did. -

I was just released to soft foods. Everything I eat feels like it's lodged. I am guessing that I am full but will this ever stop happening? The lodged feeling to just a full feeling? Also what is your advice an how to avoid it?

Bacon....yum
gettingtothenewme replied to slvarltx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You have room for all that? I can only do maybe 3 bites off food before I get the lodged feeling. -

How often do you weigh yourself?
gettingtothenewme replied to ohjul's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You will lose with the pre op cleanse any remaining problem pounds. I only had to lose 4-5 lbs prior to surgery and I fluctuated bad until the magnesium citrate. Lost it the night before. -
Bariatric diet recipe sites?
gettingtothenewme replied to cpower100's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

When can you start swallowing vitamins instead of chewables? I can't keep my chewables down. They gag me. I have vomited almost every time I take one. Have stopped until 2 week follow up to discuss.

gettingtothenewme replied to MrsJones's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Having same issues. I am hoping I can start swallowing vitamins soon. Can't keep them down at all. Should have tried the celebrate brand. If I can't swallow vitamins I will order celebrate
