Ladies only - IUD or Implant?
lgivaudan replied to rolosmom7's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Had Mirena for 1 year and it was the worst year of my life! Bled nonstop for 6 months followed by 2 week periods every other month, cystic acne, hair loss, anxiety, depression, and weight gain. Got it out in June and I feel like myself again! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App -

I know all of us are food lovers. What was your "last" meal before tou started your preop diet? Mine was fettuccine alfredo from olive garden with a breadstick. After that, my husband and I split a piece of yummy white chocolate raspberry cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. More calories in one meal then I have had in the last 3 days. Surgery scheduled for 10/26....just reminiscing.... Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Parents with young kids out there?
lgivaudan replied to HRHMKB's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 28 and was sleeved on 10/26. I have a 3 year old and an 18 month old. My husband was home for the first week but I've been doing everything since then. I only lift my youngest when absolutely necessary (21 or 22lbs.) I'm off of work for 6 weeks due to my job requirements (I'm a nurse) I would say recovery has gone well and would highly recommend sleeve surgery....down almost 20lbs in 2.5 weeks!

I have an 18 month old who is around 21 or 22lbs and only had help the first week. I have been lifting her since then when absolutely necessary ie. getting into the car or in/out of crib. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm in the same boat as you! Sleeved 10/26.... Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm 28 as well and just had gastric sleeve on Oct. 26th. What made me choose the sleeve is that they don't have to reroute your intestines, less Vitamin deficiencies, less food intolerances, and great outcomes! Do your research for sure and good luck!

Anyone have young kids?
lgivaudan replied to Alistmurf's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can you keep me updated with how it goes for you? I really want to book my apt for January, but I am worries because my husband will only be home for the first week also. I hope your surgery goes well! Sent from my SM-G930W8 using the BariatricPal App Things are going well. Having my husband home for the first week was very helpful. It is hard with my youngest being only 18 months. I do have to pick her up (21lbs) even though I'm not supposed to bc I still have to load her in the car and get her in and out of the crib. I try to be very careful but that is the hardest thing. Otherwise, no issues here...just watching the scale go down! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App -
Hi there! I'm 28 and had my sleeve on 10/26. Highest weight was 255 and surgery weight was 235. I'm currently 225. I'm in Arizona..... Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Did you try putting unflavored Protein powder into broth or strained creamed soups? That helped me a lot during the liquid phase.I need to find a good unflavored protein....I tried GENEPRO but I could definitely taste it and it grossed me out! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Yes I absolutely do because it has been almost 4 weeks without it! I have a few more days of full liquids then I gonto pureed. I cant wait to just eat a piece of cheese or deli meat!! Sick of sweet liquids! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

When do we get to go to a regular diet? I was sleeved 10/26/16 and I'm finishing my last few days of full liquids. Then I have 2 weeks of pureed then I go to soft diet but it doesn't say how long the soft diet lasts before going to regular foods. What does everyone else's program say?

lgivaudan replied to Rae5148's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mine on the 26th at 8am! First 2 days in the hospital were rough. I was discharged home on Friday morning which was the 28th. I've been off the narcotic pain medication since Monday. Each day is a struggle with getting Fluid and Protein in. I just want to chug a bottle of Water to quench my thirst. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App -
