June 24th Peeps chime in!
kiks replied to Sleevefornellie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been stalling now for a few weeks... I do feel great otherwise. Lots of energy. Exercise 4 to 5 days a week.. Think am losing much more inches than the pounds because my clothes are all falling off me and i am about 3 pant sizes down. I will really love the scales too move more though.. At my 6 weeks doctor said i only needed to lose 5lbs a month. But even that has not happened this month.. I'll increase my protein and water intake again as i am working out more. Hope everyone is doing better! -

I am still restricted with my food. I can eat anything i want But in small quantities. But i seem to drink as much as i wasn't. Very weird though. Plain water makes me nauseous for some reason. I use crystal light or i drink the g2. -

How is everyone doing so far -
Unjury protein is pretty good. I especially like the unflavored and strawberry sherbert. Mix both with Crystal light and its actually delicious. My problem is i can't find in stores. So I've been having to order it online...

Roll call all who had surgery JUNE 2015
kiks replied to JosieAppleHead's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Was sleeved on June 24th.. Lost 20lbs since surgery. I was concerned that i was losing too slowly but from the other posts on here i feel better. Even though i can eat. I still drink 2 protein shakes a day to make sure to meet my daily protein goals. I have been walking 4 - 5 days a week. About 4 miles a day. Surgeon says i should start some weight training. So I'll start that Monday. I feel great and my clothes feel better. Hope i can do another 20lbs this month so i can be under 200lbs. Then I'll have my first party..yay. -
I really didn't tell that many people. Told my hubby and my sister and a couple of girls at work. We used to do the diff diets together and fail each time.one was pretty awesome about it but the other one gave me a lecture. How i didn't need it and can do it by myself. She had just started another liquid diet and asked me to join her. Well that failed 3 days later Bec we couldn't keep up. Any way, i went back to work after being out for a month after surgery and 20lbs down. Looked so good. Felt even better. And every one wanted to know what i was doing. My response was diet and exercising 5 days a week.which i really do. Am so happy at this point that i really think I'll tell anyone who really wants to know..

proudgrammy is very proud
kiks replied to ProudGrammy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
@ proudgrammy. Way to go. Rock what your mama gave ya!.. I'm 35 and i am already saving money for my problem areas when weight is down. As hard as this weightloss is. Do whatever else you need too do to make you enjoy it to the fullest.. -
teecee, this sounds really serious. I do recall having some numbness from waste down after i had my first c section but not with this surgery.. It did go away eventually even though i can swear that i still feel it every once in a while... Talk to your doctors as soon as you can. Better save than sorry. Good luck. And i really hope it's nothing.

I just mix mine in crystal light lemonade and its yummy.. I am able to get my 60g of protein inn no problem. Started soft stage but not sure what my food options are. I am only doing half a yogort and sometimes the refried beans. Still struggling with weightloss though. Seems like i hit a stall. So today i increased my workout. Will do that the rest of the week and see how it goes -
Post op one week--protein problems
kiks replied to Boo_Nikole's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I found the flavorless unjury to be good. I can put that in anything i eat or drink. Problem is when i put in broth it does not completely dissolve so i have Chunks of protein in my broth. Its 21g a scoop. Out taste wonderful I lemon crystal light. I sometimes will juice oranges and add the protein to it... So far been able to get it down no worries..sorry you having a hard time. -

Had a good day so far. But the constipation started today. Took a little magcitrate but has not kicked in yet. I am scared to take too much so soon post opp. How did i get constipated only drinking fluids. This is annoying.. -
I am getting sleeved tomorrow. Whew!! Excited to finally be getting this done. They called me and changed my time to 8 instead of 11am. I can't wait! Good luck to my fellow June 24th sleevers. See you all on the other side...

How did your surgery go? How is your recovery going.Wondering the same..she hasnt been on since day off im hoping shes okay and recovering smoothly I've been on posting on the June 24th sleevers. My surgery went wonderful. Got home the next day. No pain atall except for a slight discomfort on my right side. Been up walking 30 to 45 mins a day. I officially hate Protein drinks. They keep me so thirsty. Been having a hard time getting in all my 64oz of fluids. So i sip thru the day. Generally i feel great. Many only concern is my fluids and protein in take not being sufficient.

Hmm. No idea what that lump is. But for the most part if there is no redness/swelling or warmth they don't worry about it. Just remember to show md at your follow up. -
