I Know My Sleeve Is Working When...



Recommended Posts

Let's have some fun:

1. I can walk 45 minutes non stop on a treadmill at a 5.0 incline!

2. When I walk outside I'm not afraid to look at my silhouette!

1. I no longer feel the need (nor can I ) to devour everything in sight!

2. My bathroom no longer looks like a laundromat with wet clothes hanging everywhere to dry so that I do not shrink them in the dryer. Now everything goes in the dryer!

1. Mid sentence, my husband stops and gives me a stunned look and says I look 10 years younger.

2. My shoulders are shaping up to look like shoulders and I can almost see my collar bones.

3. I put on a dress I think should fit now and it's too big!!

4. I put a third of what I used to eat on my plate and it's way too much.

When I can stop at a tiny amount. I'm almost 6 months post op and I am still amazed by the small amount I can eat. I used to eat an entire restaurant meal with no problem plus a good bit of the appetizer. Now, I will order one knowing I will take a ton of leftovers home. I can't even eat 1/3 of my food before feeling full or satisfied. Seriously, I can still only eat about 2.5 ounces of Protein and not much more regular food either. I can eat a bit more cottage cheese than I used to be able to but still only about 1/2 to 3/4 cup. I am pleased with my capacity.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
