Also, it's not just about the scale. Your body is losing in other ways. My scale doesn't move an the time, but pants don't fit, face is skinnier, boobs deflating. Don't worry and do what you need to do, your body will adjust.

Surgery July 2nd. 56 lbs overall, 38lbs since surgery.

That's awesome!!! It's so inspiring to hear what you said. I hope I will be like that. I'm only 2 months out and feel like I have said no easily. I know it will be different when I am able to eat more, but I'm glad to hear it was easy for you. So happy for you!

I was sleeved July 2nd. Total of 56 lbs down, 38 since surgery. Feeling great. I can eat a variety, not yet a whole chicken breast, can eat sometimes 2 eggs at a setting. No complications! Best decision ever! -

I was so excited about the sleeve until the NUT class!
ddlxray replied to landry1135's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my surgery July 2 nd. I have lost 50 lbs so far But I am still only able to eat 1-2 oz of food. But have gone out to eat, are smart and took home leftovers. I worried a little too about what I would be able to eat, if I was going to enjoy it. It's not really on my mind since surgery. What's on my mind is I feel great, I know I'm healthier, and I made a great decision. You need to do what's best for you for the right decisions. You can do it if you really want to and put your mind to it. -
Terrified: Eating too much 3 1/2 week out?
ddlxray replied to Nyelaah's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
So your Dr. Wants you to be max 40g of carbs per day? Yea, see I can eat fruit and veggies. I try to limit my carbs to 40g per day, because I know my body likes to hold onto carbs. Honestly though this goes against what the NUT at my surgeons office suggests, which is a MINIMUM of 60g per day. That just seems way too high. So I decided to try an experiment and "split the baby" by only counting Net Carbs instead of total carbs like I was counting. So this means that I am getting overall more carbs but I am limiting my Net Carbs to 40 or less per day. Hopefully, this works, if not I will go back to counting my total carbs.Good luck. I go to office on Tuesday and hope to be able to eat veggies. But I'm not sure if I will be able to. Still can only eat about 2oz and have to have protein first. -
I'm doubting if I want the surgery...
ddlxray replied to Big Opie's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Just what I have gone thru on my short journey. I have had acid reflux for years. I wanted the sleeve and only the sleeve. The surgeon recommended the sleeve hands down. Never mentioned any issues with reflux. Only that it can be due to eating too fast and not allowing for to go into stomach before more food met it. I was on some acid meds different than ones I was on prior to surgery. I haven't taken it for weeks and haven't yet had any acid reflux. Just be comfortable with your surgeon and the office. Know about each option, as one is better for some and not others. Good luck! -
Congrats!! I'm 9 lbs away! Started at 256, pre op appt was 238, surgery was July 2nd, and am now 209. It's so exciting!

No gallbladder anymore. That surgery was 20 years ago. Good luck!! I hope it helps you as well !

ddlxray replied to Nyelaah's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
MarceMonster, my carb limit is between 30-40. That would be hard for me now. I'm only supposed to be eating protein, no veggies or fruit. Do a milk/ instant breakfast protein drink that is about 14 carbs. -
It gets better!! Day of surgery I was like "I'm so excited!" Next 2 days after, I want so excited anymore. It hurt. But after a few more days, it wasn't bad at all. Everyone is right about walking, don't stay in bed! Praying you feel better!
