Sleevedvee

Also, the last two weeks of May i was working out like a maniac, i truly became obsessed with fitness However, I now have 3 herniated disks, one of which is impinging on the nerve root, and I’m going on week 3 in bed, in severe pain. I don’t know exactly what caused this for me, but I am told that weight loss is a contributing factor for sure—— be careful in your workouts everyone! HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 149 Sleeved 2/13/18

My hair stared falling out at 3 months and seems to only be getting worse, i have normally thin hair and it’s just getting to the point where i have sooo much hair coming out every day I’ve tried two biotin shampoos, didn’t seem to help I can’t take biotin orally because I get an allergic reaction to it, i use patchmd for all my vitamins so i tried their biotin patch, so far nothing noticeable Someone recommended doing a hair mask 2x/week of castor and almond oil, I might try it [emoji17] HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 149 Sleeved 2/13/18

Hi all, I’m 3 months post VSG and my doc said to try to stop drinking protein shakes. I was doing fine with my one premier a day, getting the rest of my protein from food. Now, I can’t seem to get the minimum 60g of protein into my day without the shake. What does everyone eat and how often to get enough protein in? HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 168 Sleeved 2/13/18

Yep it seems to be making a huge difference in me getting enough protein in, not water because i wouldn’t count the protein drink towards my water count anyway HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 168 Sleeved 2/13/18

It’s 9pm and i just got home from my workout, i have 11g of protein left to have today.....protein shake it is 🤷🏻‍♀️ HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 168 Sleeved 2/13/18

The doctor prefers that I get my protein and calories from food rather then beverages HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 168 Sleeved 2/13/18

Here’s the kicker, I’m allergic to most beans/soy and egg yolk But thank you for these recommendations! HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 168 Sleeved 2/13/18

Interesting, I’m always curious how different programs do it I’m not allowed juice, how much water do you have a day? HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 179 Sleeved 2/13/18

What is the amount that you eat for each one? HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 179 Sleeved 2/13/18

You only eat 3 times a day?? HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 179 Sleeved 2/13/18

I feel like I’m constantly stalling too, your surgery day weight was wayyyy less then mine, you’re doing really well, i think! Congrats! I was told to eat a bit more daily and it’s been helping, plus working out 7 days a week But you went from 227 to 159 that’s a tremendous accomplishment! HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 179 Sleeved 2/13/18

What is everyone doing in terms of fitness? I’m doing well but tried to a crunch the other day and i couldn’t... it seems the muscles in my abdomen have become non existent Before surgery i was able to do a bunch, it felt so weird I’m not sure if it’s better to do a little at a time to work up to it, OR to not to do any core work on that area for a little while longer...? HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 179 Sleeved 2/13/18

Yep I’m having iced tea once a day or iced coffee just to have variety! HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 184 Sleeved 2/13/18

Just forgetting to sip [emoji30] not thirsty lol before surgery i drank a gallon a day no problem HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 184 Sleeved 2/13/18

So far so good! I feel like my weight loss is going slower then i expected, but it’s going ! I’m having trouble getting all the fluids in lately and i don’t know what to do to help that HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 184 Sleeved 2/13/18

I’m using patchmd patches- multi, b12, and biotin HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 184 Sleeved 2/13/18

Help! I had my sleeve on 2/13, my bday is 3/13 (and also my 1 month post op) and I’ll be on soft foods—— give me ideas on how to celebrate [emoji322] HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 198 Sleeved 2/13/18

Yes i used chewable gas-x 2-3 times a day it really helped! I think i follow you on IG HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 198 Sleeved 2/13/18

I'm on purée now and one of my favorite things right now is one scrambled egg white with two tablespoons of ricotta cheese, i put the ricotta on the skillet first so it melts a little bit and then pour the egg white over it and scramble it until it's cooked but still mush -- can do the same with a full egg i would assume, i just can't use yolks Also, i make chicken broth and take out the chicken, purée the chicken with some geek yogurt and a tiny bit of fat free mayo--- can do the same with tuna or eggs for an egg salad Other then that, yogurt, mozzarella sticks, cottage cheese HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 198 Sleeved 2/13/18

Aw that's a really great idea and I'm so glad they were supportive! I feel like my coworkers would laugh in my face if i wrote them a letter [emoji52] HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 202 Sleeved 2/13/18

Mine was 2 hours, he was looking to repair a hernia but did not find it. They always block off more time HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 202 Sleeved 2/13/18

Pre-op started around 12pm, went home at 7pm the next day, i had the option of spending another night but glad i went home! HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 202 Sleeved 2/13/18

You're so lucky, the people i work with are nosy and super judgmental. Love them but when it comes to anything outside of their typical lifestyle, they judge the crap out of you. HW: 221 SW: 209 CW: 202 Sleeved 2/13/18

Sorry, i don't think so Mine was 2/13, and i have a work thing this wednesday-Thursday 2/21-22, and i don't think I'm going. It involves dinner, hotel, and an all day training on Thursday.... I was in a lot of pain and very weak since my surgery until yesterday (Monday) which was the first day i went outside for a walk. I totally thought I'd be back at work early but I see now why a week and a half to two weeks is necessary. You have to let you body heal properly, and you have to get your protein and fluids in. Those first days at home were the hardest i can't imagine doing them anywhere else. Message me if you have questions since i just went through it and am still home healing!!

Do you know how long a hernia recovery would be?
