My 6 month check up



Recommended Posts

For everyone considering the sleeve surgery I wanted to post my progress and say go for it!!!

I was so worried about it and somedays now I forget I had surgery and just go on with my life.

I have lost 71 lbs. and feel great. I am off my cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar medications. I exercise every day and feel great doing it.

I have 30 or 40 lbs more to go and feel I can do it.

I am so thankful for this website and the people who take time to post and help everyone out. It has been so helpful to me

Thank you! Barbie: No real complications, I also had hiatial hernia repair with my surgery and have had no problems. I did notice some Hair loss about a month ago, but luckily I have thick hair so it isn't really noticable and it seems to be slowing down. Best of luck to you. I also have 2 friends who have had this same surgery since mine and they are also doing great!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
