I Was Amazed When I Heard This
blondie46 replied to Danny Paul's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am a year and half out and cannot tolerate any meat. I can eat a few shrimp and they stay down ok. I basically live on protein shakes, BariatricPal hot cocoa and cottage cheese. 😂 -
Congratulations 🍾🎊🎈

I want to follow my old Atkins plan, but since surgery I am unable to eat meat and keep it down. Every time I eat meat I throw it up after about 5 minutes, my sleeve just won’t tolerate it ☹️ -

How long after surgery before you returned to work?
blondie46 replied to MikeIL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m a teacher; I had my surgery and went back in two weeks. After about one month I had to take FMLA for about 3 weeks due to exhaustion ☹️. Everyone and every job is different ~ just listen to your body. -
I am 1 year and 3 months out and I drink water just as normally as I did before surgery.

My worst part was taking pain pills by mouth, my surgeon fixed it by prescribing me liquid Tylenol 3, which I only needed for a couple days. After about day 3 each day I felt 100% better than the day before ~

How much weight does one generally lose with gastric sleeve surgery?
blondie46 replied to Amjo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I eat lots of cottage cheese, yogurt, almonds, and do protein shakes. I haven’t exercised except running around like a madman at work 😂 -
Wow, I could not believe this!

You need a new shirt, that one is way too big !!!! You look amazing 😊 -
I’m 7 months out and only eat 300 to 400 calories day. If I get in my protein, there is no room for anything else

How long did it take for your incisions to heal? Swimming?
blondie46 replied to baribetty's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My surgeon said swimming was fine 1 and 1/2 week after surgery -
Congrats on being just obese. I remember when that was my goal too. I’m finally got to just overweight from morbidly obese and can’t wait to get to healthy weight !!!
