50+ lbs gone but still fit in old jeans?
Kestrael replied to CrowMilk's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My starting and current stats are similar to yours. SW 310 and CW 259. So, 50 lbs down. But, my pants still have not gone down...they are loser though! Granted, I haven't tried to go shopping, but it is frustrating. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I'm on soft foods now, and yesterday I got something like 465 calories in, but today looks like it is going to be more like 600ish, as I'm at 419 after lunch. I am trying to focus more on my Protein and liquids, though.

Diarrhea sporadically soon after sleeve?
Kestrael posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everyone! This may be TMI but I wasn't quite sure what to do, and I wanted to know if any of you have had this issue. I was sleeved on Monday (yay!), and on Wednesday I had a small BM, but today when I woke up I had diarrhea, and then later in the day (a long time after one nectar Protein drink and not long after a second), I had it again. I don't believe I am dehydrated, as generally these drinks are in my body long enough, but I do know that it is a risk. Is it just my body adjusting, the fact that I am using Water based Protein Drinks, or something else? My doctor's office is closed at the moment, so I cannot call them. Thanks! =^.^= Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Aetna insurance in Georgia
Kestrael replied to SouthernSpinoza's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I have Aetna POS II and have my first consultation at Atlanta Bariatrics for Dr Hart on 1/12/17, did they give you a total out of pocket after insurance? My plan is 80/20 I believe. Sent from my Nexus 6 using the BariatricPal App Hey! I wasn't given a total out of pocket, but I believe my insurance was similar (80/20). Nutritionist appoints are not included in the insurance so each of those were 50 a pop. But seriously, that practice has been great! I just got sleeves on Monday, and I could not have been happier.

yesterday was surgery
Kestrael replied to PhillyAj's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm two days out from my sleeve, and for those first two days I had horrible dry heaving. The Doctor said some of it might have been from drinking too fast, but either way, between the nausea medicine and the third day, it seems to have stopped completely, thank goodness. I hope that yours stop soon!! <3 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Pre op Protein Shakes.
Kestrael replied to Bakergrl214's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello fellow December 19th sleever! =] I have to agree with the others, Premier Protein has been my favorite. However, UnJury's chocolate Splendor is pretty good too. =]
