Under 180Lbs And Getting Sleeved, Anyone Else?



Recommended Posts

Have any of you lower bmi sleevers lost too much weight? X

I have asked about this and my coordinator said that your body will stop losing weight at the right time. I'm 18 lbs away from my goal so I'm interested in how low I'll actually be able to go. 16 to my Drs goal for me.

I had my lapband removed April 17th. I still struggle with some foods due to my stomach shape is still same as with a band. My hunger level is up. I am not able to shake off the 15 pounds I gained with a band last year. I wonder if sleeve will even work for me :(

I am in the uK and unless your bmi is very high and you have major health issues you have to pay privately.

I started at 171 and am at 154.4 6 weeks out today. I have been on a stall all week long. I'm not complaining, just saying that when you start with a lower BMI it comes off slower.

I would prefer it to come off slower because I think i would get less questions that is still a massive loss in 6 weeks tho. How's your food going 6 weeks in? What do your daily meals look like - if you don't mind writing it all down

Well, for Breakfast I had a salad with a lot of diff vegetables in it, bacon bits and chick peas, about 3 quarters of a cup. lunch I had a small hamburger, no bread, that I dipped in mayo and ketchup and a couple spoonfuls of baked Beans then I had about a fourth cup of a cherry dessert, I drank flavored water and tea between this and am planning to have a couple more spoonfuls of baked beans and a half chicken breast for dinner tonight. If there's anything after that it will be yogart. Not sure about that though. I do not deprive myself of things I want. I have done that over and over with my diets and it has never ended we'll so I'm going to eat small portions an try to make good decisions. There were many things today that I could have eaten, I was at a picnic where everyone brought goodies so even though I did have dessert, it could have been much worse and I was totally satisfied. If I can keep on like this and continue to lose slowly ill take it!

Been to see the surgeon. I left feeling less confident than when I went. He seemed shocked by the things I was asking - obviously I had researched it. When I asked him about problems quite regularly heard of on here he was like " yeah I have heard of that but it's never happened to one of my patients"

With a certain company yes. I am still looking around tho because this is a massive decision and one I can't afford to take any risks with. My bf is coming round to the idea of this but he still has not given 100% blessing x

      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.
