I DId and still do at 14 months out when I have gas stuck...

I’m having my aunt take my swimsuit in some, I just got it last year.. paid almost 100/ not paying for a new one yet. 7 months out... 130 pounds down and 50 inches.

Wow, I’m 7 months out, but no where close to what you have done, I started at 385 and down to 255. Sometimes a little lower, jumping back and forth and having a stressful eating.

Was just coming here to check on the same thing, I’m 7 months almost 8 months out 130 pounds down and almost 50 inches. And I’m constantly starving the last few days, dr said to try to do a reset. I’m down even further then this picture I’m down to 255.3

385 hw and sleeved 11/07/17 down 91 pounds. And 33 inches.

I was 385 sleeved in November 2017 down 91 pounds and 33 inches. Down to 294.

Our China buffet gives you 20% off but it’s still expensive for what I can eat. But they have weigh and take so what I do Is get a Togo container and put food in it that I can eat and foods my daughter likes she sits down and eats and I pay for my Togo and then sit down and eat my few bites with her and take the rest home. A lot cheaper that way.

37 pounds before pre op liquid diet. I had started low carb to change my eating prior to surgery. I lost another 15 on my liquid diet. Had my sleeve 11/07/17 and losing slowly.

Seems to be normal. I’m 15 days out and my emotions are all over the place.

I’ve been doing good I’ve been getting at least 70-80g of protein a day one need 60g. I only need 64 ounces of liquids and I’m getting at least 100 ounces or more. Not forcing myself, not getting sick. Only once when I drank my protein drink to fast. Dr said it’s ok to take a hour and a half to drink 11 ounces of protein cause it’s just liquid. I do follow the do not drink 30 mins before and I do one hour after even though my dr only asks for 30 mins after. Getting myself prepared for puréed stage on 11/27/17. I’m waiting for them to approve me to go back on Metamucil or something. I’m starting to get some pain back into my colon and that’s scary when you have perforated in the past and survived sepsis 3 times because of it. My gastro dr wants me on it immediately as gastric dr says no. Ugh. If it gets to bad I will have to go against my gastric Drs wishes. I will not allow it to perforate again. I may not survive sepsis the 4th time and I have a child to care for.

I had my surgery 11/7 and haven’t lost much at all. It’s supper depressing. I gained then lost. I keep crying cause I had a very dangerous surgery to save my life and I lost more on my low carb diet then I have since surgery.

Mine did for the first week, it was like pressure with a burning feeling. It got better.

I felt the same way. I’m a single disable mom of one daughter. My ex is in prison and for along time so he’s not in the picture if something was to happen to me and I was really worried about it because I almost died 2 years ago from sepsis 3 times... but having my sleeve so far has been one of the best decisions of my life. I’m 11 days post op now.

I was fine the first week and then this week I’ve been tired a lot. Like can’t funtion tired. I’m 10 days out still on liquids. I even fell over and slammed one of my incisions on the corner of a cabinet knocking it open. Dr said it was all normal. If your feel way to unnormal please call your surgeon.

I drank just about anything pre op, but post op the only thing my body likes is premier protein. I don’t get sick on the others but I’ll burp a lot meaning my tummy don’t like them.

Good luck to you both, I didn’t feel my gas other then when I burped I had pain, but I had to walk 9 times a day at the hospital. I felt the pain later when I was home and it was breaking up.

not being myself lately. 24th day on liquids and tired of others eating around me. No support in the household. My mother who also lives here with me suffers from mental illness that she’s not treating and I’m at my whits end. Just venting 😭

Never though of that I drink water all night long when I get up. But I’ll try that thank you.

Hungry as heck, I’m getting 60-80 grams of protein a day. I’m getting 64-70 ounces of water a day. I’m not allowed to start puréed till 11/27... but I’m so hungry I’m waking up in the middle of the night starving. I’m on Zantac so u don’t think it’s acid or anything. I’m so far 24 days of liquids at this time. I’m ready for food but afraid to eat ahead of schedule.

I’ve heard a lot of people talk about smooth move tea. I have some at her me but haven’t needed any yet. I’ve gone potty no problem so far. Wishing you luck.

7 holes, top one with tapes was my drain tube. Found I have an extra large liver, he almost didn’t do the surgery because of it. It wasnt because I didn’t follow my diet cause I did. To a t. He believes it’s still messed up from when I had sepsis.

I know they say not to weigh the first week out because you will be upset with the weight gain from the iv,s I woke up and weighed in this morning at 342.4 and I was 344.9 when I went in on Tuesday for surgery. I pray That I keep loosing like this. Having a hard time with the protein shakes right now it soup. So peppermint tea and G2 again till tomorrow.

5 days post op, very little nausea. Threw up once from drinking protein drink to fast. I’ve been getting close to my 65 protein and 62 water a day. Surgery was Tuesday and home by Wednesday night. Still a little sore my staples feel like someone pulling on my skin. Other then that it’s been good.

I’m getting my liquids in but not much protein yet. I’m suppose to be getting 60-65 a day already.
