CuriouslyAmazed

Hello, has anyone had their RNY at Overlake Hospital by Dr.Nguyen in Bellevue,WA?

Thank you for that!! I'll try to change up on my routine and see if that helps

It happens to the best of us. So don't sweat it too hard. What I would probably suggest doing if you can, increase your walking time and distance. If you're getting in 30 minutes of walking a day try to increase it by 15 minutes. If you walk about a mile now, start working towards reaching 2 miles in the same time frame. And then 6 to 8 weeks after that another 15 minutes, and another 1/2 mile. Also if you have access to a gym, an elliptical and stair climber will become very useful cardiovascular tools in burning calories and overall weight. They also add just enough change up to your routine that you can sorta trick the body's plateau affect, which should help reduce the stall's time. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone, I have a question because I'm very frustrated, I am 5 wks out and stalled at week 3,4 now 5 I gained 2lbs this week.. I am tracking my calories, carbs and protein with my water goal and I even email my nutritionist my food list to reverifying I'm doing everything right. I walk 30 mins a day as they told me. I'm doing everything they tell me but I'm still stuck my loss has been 17lbs since surgery but now 15 since the 2lb gain.. Any advice? I'm starting to regret this! Seriously

I am 5 wks out as well.. Stalled my 3rd wk, I am meeting my protein and water goal. I even still email my nutritionist my food list daily so she can verify.. I've now gained 2lbs.. Smh.. It does seem like you follow the protocol and your weight goes up, I'm sure it's normal to be frustrated I guess.. Nothing I can do about it at the point!

I was sleeved on 1/20 started stage 4 today.. Not hungry but gotta push to get protein in :/

I had a drain.. Had the sleeve, gallbladder removed and a hiatal hernia removed all at once.. Drain for 5 days

Oops! Wrong button lol.. You should be able to email them before your appt if you need to., that's what I did prior to my spot because I couldn't wait!!

Hi, I just had my sleeve on 1/20 my Dr doesn't allow travel by plane or sitting for long periods of time due to blood clots.. I have to wait 8 wks . I would go by your Dr's guidelines, I've noticed it's a different protocol with different Dr's. Best of luck!

Gastric Sleeve Surgery 1/20 with Dr. Nguyen at Overlake hospital I had my gall bladder removed as well as a unexpected hernia removed! I am feel great no issues thus far and I'm keeping down all fluids

Since I had to do the 2wk pre op diet I feel like I've been on liquids forever!!

#storibrown I totally get it I can't wait to get to the next stage!! The drain would have been out day of my discharge from the hospital but because I ended up with 3 surgeries at one time he wanted to be sure I got no infection it made me feel comfortable because I could see it. And knew what to look out for..Thank goodness I'm over that part!

Thank you!! I ended up have my drain pouch removed from my stomach 2 days early because I was experiencing shortness of breath, I woke up gasping for air.. My Dr removed the drain and also sent me to the hospital for Ct scans with and with out contrast, X-rays and leg ultra sound to rule out blood clots.. All tests were negative.. I am now resting peacefully sipping on fluids and puréed food.. 1 more week then I can enjoy soft foods. Good luck to everyone..

Thank you!! I get to go home tomorrow :-)

Hi, I was sleeved yesterday 1/20 and I'm doing wonderful and no complaints

My surgery is Jan 20th... Count down!!!!

I'm drinking the premier protein shakes, it has a higher protein amount and tastes good just like a milk shake.. It makes it a little easier.. Maybe try it.. I'm day 4 of my preop diet

Ok!! I'm hoping you have Success

# Whitefoot, I always call 425-467-3957 option 1 and I always speak with Gayle, I received my surgery date in December and they confirmed yesterday.

I live in Federal Way, WA and my Surgery is 1/20 @ Overlake Hospital
