Looking for those who had sleeve in August 2015
LaLaLucy replied to Sherri1964's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm feeling really defeated. I have been stuck at the same weight since February 10th. I've only lost 5 pounds since January 10. I've been working out 6 days a week including running 3.5 miles once a week. I'm not eating sweets or candy and trying to stick to low carb as much as possible. I've never had soda and all I drink is water decaf coffee or unsweetened tea. I just threw in the towel and cancelled all my workout classes this week. I'm so frustrated. WHY IS THE SCALE NOT MOVING! Sorry for the vent. Ugh -
6 Months Out, How Is It Going?
LaLaLucy replied to AYRW71's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My six month check up is next week. I was sleeved on August 14. HW 230 SW 215 CW 159. I had a horrible stall the entire month of January up until today. Whew! I was starting to panic a little. Great job everyone! It was really hard for me the first 2 months but I love my sleeve now. -
Any Pittsburgh Pa Sleeve people out there?!?
LaLaLucy replied to claddagh66's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
He was my surgeon. I thought he was a great Dr. His staff is incredible and I was so thankful for their support. He wasn't very personable but I was more concerned with his work. I never talked to him after the surgery but another doctor from his office checked on me everyday and she was fantastic. -

I'm at the same exact weight as you and we both started at same weight ! Excellent! My surgery was August 14th. I've been stalling this month. Very frustrating now. -

I was sleeved on 8/14 and have lost 46 lbs. Very slow now. I've only lost 5 lbs since November 11th and nothing in the past 10 days. I am doing spin class 3 - 4 days a week. Maybe I'm building muscle. Ha ha ha. Still not getting protein and water in like I should. -

I had mine on August 14th. Down 41 lbs since surgery. Down 2 pants sizes and I am losing my hair by the handful. My weight loss has slowed this month to about a pound every 12 days. -

I had mine on 14th as well and I was stuck these past two weeks. The scale finally moved this morning. Hang in there! -

I am having the same issue. I was sleeved on 8/14. Having hard time getting liquids and proteins in because of it. Dr wants to see me on Thursday. I'm bummed. I thought I'd feel way better by now. -
It took about 5 business days for my approval and about 2 weeks from that for my surgery date. Good luck!

LaLaLucy replied to hcwild's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all. Im ten days post op and just trying cream soup, cottage cheese and yogurt. I can get about 4 oz of soup down in one sitting but only two spoonfuls of cottage cheese. How much are you all getting in? -

LaLaLucy replied to hcwild's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my sleeve on the 14 th. I'm getting about 48 oz in today. I'm only allowed water, broth, tea, sf jello, and diluted juice until 26th. I must be having head hunger since all I want to do is eat when I walk into the kitchen. I'm still having cramps with cold liquids. -
@natashaS. So glad you are feeling better too. I'm glad that I read others experiences on here. It's what kept me going knowing what I was feeling was nothing abnormal and to keep pushing through it. Gotta keep sipping and moving. Warm liquids seem to feel better on my tummy.
-
@natashS. Just got home from hospital a couple hours ago. First two days were rough and second guessed my decision. I feel better now that I'm home. Just focusing on getting fluids in. Gas pains and one of my incisions are the only things bothersome. I will get back on here in a couple days. Thanks. How is everyone else?

Packing now. I have brain fog so I'm sure I'll forget something! I have to be at hospital at 5:30 am. Surgery at 7:30. I wish you both the best tomorrow! See you on the losers bench! Packing now.

So so happy for you! Hope you are feeling great soon! -
Last day of liquid diet! Sleeve on Friday! This is it and I'm nervous beyond words. I took off work today to clean the house. Hopefully it will take my mind off everything for a little bit today. I wish everyone well! Here's to great health and happiness!

I can't tolerate artificial sweeteners. I use isopure pure protein isolate. Its unflavored and I mix it with fair life skim milk, frozen milk cubes, and a couple of cut up strawberries. I have a ninja mixer and it blends perfectly. I've never liked sweet drinks so I had to concoct my own. Hope this helps.

Presurgery and I can't decide to keep WLS public or private
LaLaLucy replied to soccermama's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I decided only my husband should know. I am doing my pre-op diet this week and a man I work with came up to me today and said that I should speak with another co-worker that had a gastric bypass since he assumed that was why I was having surgery. I was really appalled. I told him I wasn't having a bypass and that its really private to me so much so that I am not telling my kids let alone a coworker. I would never have the nerve to say anything like that to anyone. I was mortified, hurt and angry in that order. I can't wait until Friday! -
Hi Natasha. I'm on the 14th too. Started my liquid diet today. I'm nervous too but glad there is support here.

I'm August 14th too!
