Omg! I was sleeved on the same day as you and I just lost 30lbs. I want to loose around 45lbs more but I see I don't loose so fast anymore. To be honest, I don't train much but I take care of my food. To eat good quality and protein but still. I'm starting to get worried. :/

Weight Before & After
Alyssa_T replied to CantStopMeNow's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
New this app I hope I replied correctly lol. But I weigh 228 also!!! I just started my liquid diet I'm afraid I'll loose to much weight and they won't preform the surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App What a coincidence! The difference is that I was 228lbs at surgery day. Talk to your doctor, he must know. All depends on how many weight you should lose. I'm 5'6 and you? Good luck!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Yes so true! My BMI is 40.4 right now they are aware of me weight and just required one week of diet but I am going to give them a call! I am 5'3 ... how much did you weigh before you went down to 228? If you don't mind my asking Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Hi again! I don't mind at all. I was 240. When are scheduled to have surgery?

Sleeve Surgery while Breastfeeding
Alyssa_T replied to Poku's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Poku, talk to your doctor. I was feeling so weak after op that the first 4 days after surgery, I hardly drank. Also because of my medicines, I didn't latch for two days... I think all that influenced. If you want to breastfeed a bit more, I suggest to wait just a liiiittle bit because the hair loss may be big! I took Proteins, suplements for breastfeeding moms (my dietist was concern about my nutrition), I lost LOTS of hair. I don't regret a second my sleeve but If i only could do it again, i would have waited 2 more months. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Weight Before & After
Alyssa_T replied to CantStopMeNow's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Surgery weight: 103.5kgs- 228lbs Current weight: 90.5kgs - 198lbs Goal weight: 65kgs - 143lbs Surgery date: Nov 30th, 2016. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Hi. My Nutricionist set my goal weight based on my height, weight, history and age. My surgeon never talked about it either. When I asked him how much wait I will lose, he replied: as many as you want. What an answer! Fortunately to me the nutritionist did set the goal weight. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did you ever...? (a bit gross)
Alyssa_T replied to White Sale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did. It was my 4 day PO n it was the bday of my niece. A BBQ! I was doing great until the smell got into my brain. I took a cheeseburger n bite it twice! Huuuuge bites! Then I found it disgusting n stopped. It was the only time I did that. That first bite though, it tasted HEAVEN! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
When will i feel normal again
Alyssa_T replied to Brianajubert's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
In my case, except for fatigue, from day 4 I felt "normal" if we don't count the eating business. I'm 8 weeks out and I still feel that my esophagus and stomach live their own life n want to control mine. If I'm with friends having dinner (we usually meet once a month), if I talk to much while eating, I feel that a HUGE burb will jump out of my mouth. Same with the funny noises I notice from my stomach. So it's sad but I can't talk while eating. It's kinda embarrassing. I really hope I feel normal soon. I get stressed every time invites me to their places to eat something... I have to tell I would love some soup! Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Just did some real disrespectful stuff!
Alyssa_T replied to Anthony74's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg! He is telling HIS experience, why ppl is so judgmental?! He said it was a mistake. For me it's great ppl not only talk about their success n how great they are doing but also the pitfalls. We all make mistakes. Hey Anthony, I'm glad you are fine, thanks for sharing. I experienced something similar... I was 3 weeks post op n I really wanted to eat something, I mashed an avocado n as soon as it got down, I had this horrendous pain, salivation, dizziness, a horrible pressure in the chest n I almost fainted. The good thing is that my doc told me what would happen if I didn't follow the plan so I knew what was going on. Never again I did it. It was too painful for me.

Is there anything that surprised you?
Alyssa_T replied to 50yearoldme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm surprised because I feel no hunger, because I drink my Water SLOW and I react when people overeat. I feel like vomiting. Not because I'm being judgmental but because I imagine eating all that n with my new stomach I know I would feel so sick afterwards. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I'm 8 weeks post op and so far I lost 29lbs. There were some weeks I just stalled. Today I started to exercise, let's hope it helps. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Dry mouth and white coating on the tongue
Alyssa_T replied to NervousAly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor said that if that happens to me is because I'm not drinking enough. Be careful because if we don't drink enough, it might give bad breath and the white coat over the tongue. Just drink more Water and use listerine 3 times a day for one week n it will be all gone. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I'm 15 pounds away from my goal weight !
Alyssa_T replied to lupita19's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You look HOT and so healthy! Well done!!! Hopefully I will look a hot as you in some weeks. Can you please tell us how has it been your weight loss month per month? I'm 2 months in n I lost 29 pounds. Not sure whether is little or normal but I need to lose 55 pounds more. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
It seems you have lost a lot in such a short time. May I ask when you were sleeved? I go through something similar but the difference is that I do recognize myself but in my mind, I'm still fat. I'm 8 weeks sleeved n I only lost 29 pounds (it's something but not an extreme lost weight -yet) but I feel I'm still veeery fat, like before. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You look fantastic!! Good job!! I'm 8 weeks (30 nov 2016) since I was sleeved and I only lost around 29 pounds. I feel this goes slower than expected. How many pounds you lost since sleeved? I'm afraid I haven't exercised, today it was actually my first day at the gym n it hurt! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
