Sleeved June 4Th & Lost 45.2 Lbs.



Recommended Posts

My starting weight was 340 lbs & as of today aug. 8th, I weigh 294.8. I haven't been under 300 in at least 9 yrs, & it feels so goooood. Besides having my kids this surgery is the best thing that has happened in my life.

Having this surgery, took awhile to adjust, but I thank God for it. I feel like I got my life back.

How did your surgery go? I was watching you tube videos and it started making me nervous but the nurse in the office said she barely had any pain :rolleyes:

Congrats! Sounds like you feel great. You are losing a bit faster than I am, I think. (Sleeved June 11). As the Japanese say: Gambatte! Go for it!

Congratulations on your awesome success! I was sleeved on June 4th too! The first few weeks were a little rough, eating and drinking wise, but I felt great. I definitely have no regrets!

Congratulations. I think you are doing fantastically and losing at a nice rate. So proud of the June Sleevers!

I'm also June 4th, I have lost 38 pounds and for those that are wondering why the big difference, same surgery, same day, I just have to caution people, not all people lose at the same rate, even two people that start at the same weight, same height, etc. lose at different speeds. I am a slow loser, but I exercise a lot and I lift weights, everyone has their own rate, and everyone has their own issues with stalls.

Thank you for the uplifting update!

      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.
