Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call

[Lovli1201 17]

I had my surgery on September 25 and have had little to no problems, except for being tired and trying to figure out if I'm actually hungry or if its my brain! The hardest part is not drinking while eating and getting enough water! I'm just wanting to move on from puréed diet to normal food. I am happy to say I've lost 24 lbs so far and it has helped my knees and sleep app enough that I am able to sleep in my bed again without waking hubby with my snoring! All of you keep up the good work ! For once. There is a light at the end of my dieting tunnel!

its amazing how fast this surgery cures sleep apnea. im so happy that machine is out of my life!!!

Hi guys I wanted to give an update. First off to those having difficulties I hope things get better for you soon. I have been one of the fortunate ones who have had no complications but I did wanna ask a few questions. Like most I miss my diet Sundrop and SWEET TEA!! I'm trying different artificial sweeteners but they seem to have a strange after taste. Is this just something you get used to? I'm getting tired of Water and crystal light. I haven't tried the Mio yet but I'm going to. I've never been a green tea person but I haven't tried it since surgery. Ok surg was 9-12-12 surg weight was 297 and today it's 275. My highest back in Feb was 340! I'm ok with the weight loss as I hear the slower the better chance your skin has to go back lol not sure how true this is. I am able to eat anything I want in moderation and yes I have had a few things that I shouldn't have. I drink no Protein in Fluid as I get it all in through food. Goodluck to everyone as we continue this journey. I am also on my fitness pal and my username is whitsmom08, I love that I am able to track everything.

Hi how long was your surgery. Your weight is exactly the same as mine. Surgery day 297 today 275. I am 5 weeks post-op

[whitsmom08 17]

Mine took over 2 hrs. I had an enlarged spleen that we didn't know about. So they had to work around that.

Oh I meant how long ago but funny u say that. Mine took 5 hours because my liver was so large :-(

No but came very close. It was torture on my back. Laying on that hard surface that long with a bad back. It was awful when I woke up.

I use Truvia, which is not too bad. I also really like the lemon tea for Kurig, though it is not extremely sweet, it has a nice flavor.
