Zero Carb Isopure - Gnc
Getting There replied to AngelEyesInNJ's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Check the price at your GNC. Even with the buy 1, get one 1/2 off, I found that they were less expensive at Vitamin Shoppe. I like the ready-to-drink because of the convenience but they also have powder available. I often split the Isopure into 2 bottles (both 20 oz). I fill both bottles up with a flavored water (many of the Isopure's have a bit of a strange taste to me). I sip on these throughout the day. Gives me 40 oz of fluid and 40 gr of protein throughout the day for only 160 calories....... Makes it much easier for me to get in enough protein and fluid - though I'm struggling to get above about 400 calories/day (I'm almost 3 weeks out and still on liquids only - start pureed food on Sunday!!!!! ). -
Going back to work
MaryMitchell replied to IChatman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went back last week and I've been making my lunches. I take two yogurts (breakfast and afternoon snack). I take a protein shake and my vitamins. I also take an egg that I scramble in the microwave. It's amazing how it fills me up! -
Well I am approaching 1 yr post surgery and at a standstill for a while now of 45 pounds. I had some recent setbacks and had to have a few unfills. I now have a 14 cc band with approx. 5cc's in it. I am still following all the "rules" seperating liquids and solids, slow fairly small meals, healthier choices, very little snacking and when I do it's fruit, protein first etc etc. Going to the gym 4 nights a week a mile on the tredmill, 2 miles on the bike and arm weights.. My weight hasn't moved in almost 3 months now... nothing looks or feels any better. I am starting to wonder if I shouldn't try 6 small meals instead of 3. A women at work who was banded in March is doing that and it's just falling off of her

When did you begin exercising after surgery?

Immediately after I was walking. At two weeks I was swimming & at on month I was cut loose on weights & cardio! -
When did you begin exercising after surgery?
FluffyChix replied to baribetty's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I started walking the day of surgery and never looked back. I walk every day. Now, I'm up to walking 1-40 minute session and 1-30 minute session per day--that's over 2 miles per day which sounds wussy, but is HUGE for me. At 6 weeks I was released to do strength training and I began in PT again to help me build core strength and endurance in preparation to working with someone to help me with a strength training (weights) plan. I have no limitations. -
Thanks @@MSanti i had no cravings during pregnancy but i had severe nausea and after i gave birth i actually had cravings which i gave in to. I started zumba classes last week so now i have to get my food right and get on track.

Oh I thought I would never get under 200! That scale tormented me, 203, 201.6, 202.4!! It was toying with my emotions!! I workout 5 days a week on a TotalGym that I bought! It gives me a good cardio workout with strength training. I keep my feet in the air while I do it and it works my abs at the same time, REALLY works my abs. I've been working out for weeks now but only recently have I seen some real results like a smaller waist and less fat on my back/bra area. I started at a 22 and I'm down to a 12. I've still got a long ways to go but I'm starting to finally feel different which is great.

I got the scale moving again!
SpaceyCasey replied to SpaceyCasey's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It's called bowtrol and its a pill! I really like it, it hasn't caused any annoying side effects. I'm hoping this will help me get all the way to goal but I was estatic when the scale finally moved I was stalled for like 3 months. And I'm over a year so I just thought I was done! -
Please Help! Throwing up blood? Just hours post op
Elode replied to vsgSarah3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You're welcome. Hope you start feeling better. I know it can be pretty rough the first week but it will get better. Keep us updated on your progress! -
I'm not sure why the nausea would still be with you 4 weeks post-op. Maybe call the surgeon's office to ask and maybe get a prescription for nausea medication. It also seems odd that you haven't lost any pounds in 4 weeks. It usually falls off like crazy immediately after surgery. Maybe mention that to your doctor as well. Are you going to the bathroom okay?

When did you begin exercising after surgery?
Taoz replied to baribetty's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I started more walking yesterday, but will wait a few weeks before I do anything more high impact. I am hoping to do a little light weeding/gardening next week, and might even be able to squeeze in a light-weight fishing session in the next few weeks (no heavy surf fishing for at least 3 months for me though). -
Please someone tell me that they have experienced this hair loss! I started out with really thick hair. I would say now it looks thin. My hair falls out in such record numbers that I have to carry around a lint roller at all times. I was banded last November and the hair loss started around 6 months after. Will it stop? I drink a Protein shake everyday. I think I am getting enough protein. Will it grow back? Don't even get me started on this stupid site kicking me off for the last 3 weeks. I had to open a yahoo account just to log back on. I didn't even want a yahoo account! Christine

I didn't go thru all these threads to find a suitable place.... I've just been so "psyched" lately that I'd like to share. 4mos now since surgery and my mind is starting to play those "your still fat" games on me. My therapist pre-warned me about this. I post-poned my mtg with her last month so next week's mtg with her should be very interesting. I want to go clothes shopping to try on new styles but for fear, I can't! I'm afraid NOTHING in the misses section will fit! Even though I'm in a misses 16, I feel I still need a 20W. I forget I can now sit comfortably at the sushi bars, making my family squeeze into a booth still. I had to move my driver's seat up a notch but in my mind, felt I would get stuck!! I just feel that my weight loss has been so rapid (68lbs in 6mos) that my mind is still trying to play catch-up!

Poor weight loss after band to sleeve revision?
kekerene replied to Pebbles's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Tomorrow makes 2 months since my band to sleeve revision and I am down 35 lbs. I have also been going to the gym 5 days a week and I am eating very healthy. I do think that I still would lose if I were not doing the working out and eating healthy, maybe I would not have lost quite as much. The sleeve won't allow you to eat a ton of food but if you drink a milkshake then that might keep you from losing. I find the sleeve is 1,000 better than the band. I have never thrown up my food with the sleeve where as I threw up every meal with the band. It has been soooooo much easier to make the lifestyle change with the sleeve versus the band. You can also go read up on LilMissDiva on this site. She has lost 100 lbs since her band to sleeve revision which I believe was almost a year ago, and I think she is in a size 4. I also think that she works out quite a bit and eats very healthy. I suppose you can fail with the sleeve but I would think that would be very hard to do and that person might just not be ready to make the changes necessary. My doctor told me that the surgery is only 50% and that I have to put in the other 50%, and I believe that statement to be very true. Good luck to you, you are going to love your sleeve way better than the band -
Was supposed to have my surgery 3 days from now on Monday 8/12/19. Found out this morning that my TSH thyroid levels are 4.5 so my insurance is asking for additional info & follow up from my PCP. At 1st I was upset but now I feel a little relieved. My pre-op hasn’t been going as restrictive as I’d like & I can do better. Might as well be as healthy going into this as possible. Rescheduled 1 week for 8/19/19

Well, my surgery was cancelled!
amayzme replied to bonmilligan's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wasn't covered by insurance ... i went to Mexico. To dr. Almanza at Jerusalem hospital . Cost me about 4000.00 plus flight. I am 7 weeks out and doing fine. Lost 28# so far. -
My sister and I will be sleeved about a week apart so we are going through this process together. We are very supportive of each other and competitive. Have any other people on this forum had the surgery with a family member or close friend. How did it help or hurt your relationship. Were you competitive with the weight loss? Did having that person motivate you or hinder you?
