Anyone Getting Sleeved In Bakersfield,ca

[sweetmomma05 33]

I'm doing ok....it's been a huge adjustment but in time it will be good. I'm on soft foods now and sometimes it's difficult but I need my nutrition. Another thing I find difficult is getting all my fluids. Trying to balance the drinking and eating has been trying but I will get it one of these days. Came back to work this week so very glad it's the weekend! Thanks for asking! How are you?

How have you done weight wise???

Well...I don't regret the surgery but the first few weeks have been difficult. I know a lot of others who say it gets better and just to hang in there. As far as pain from the surgery....almost none at all...not even bad gas pains. I consider myself lucky for that. Didn't even need any of the pain meds they sent me home with. My stomach is still swollen and can't wait til it gets back to feeling normal. I have found that Tomato Soup and sugar free pudding sit best in my tummy. As far as weight....when I started the class in October I was 236....one week after surgery on feb 25th I weighed in at 181 :-)

At 5'3.5" I would love to get as low as 130. I haven't been back to the gym yet but should be going back soon. FYI...Dr. Irani is awesome! He really takes the time to explain things and makes you feel at ease....

He only had me on the pre op liquid diet for one week. I had lots of broth, Isopure Protein and Water. It was probably the hardest thing I had to do. I will never have chicken broth again! I was bad and cheated on my 4th day but got back on the wagon.

The weight loss has been worth it. I went back to work and realized none of my work cloths don't fit anymore! I'm waiting for the swelling in my tummy to go down before I start shopping.

Hang in there. I know how hard it is but there is a light at the end of this tunnel!

Dr Irani is great!! Since Oct-jan I only lost 12 the whole 3 month thing just didn't really work. My body gets adjusted n accustomed too quick and then doesn't work. From feb 25- march 6 (10 days) i lost 17 pounds. Since surgery mar 6th I've only lost 5. Bummed I'm only at 5 pounds but in reality I've lost 22 pounds in18 days.

I haven't lost any in almost 2 weeks. I heard that's normal due to swelling and fluids. I'm ok with that. I know it will start coming off again. Wow...22 pounds in 18 days is amazing! I will weigh in a couple days and see if I lost any...

22 .bs in 18 days??? Remarkable! Can you imagine gaining 22 lbs in 18 days??? Weight loss is waaay faster than weight gain and that's where our focus should be! Great job!

Lol thanks!! The inches are coming off just as fast. Which I'd rather lose those anyway lol! The upside to losing slowly is less sag and better skin!!

I think I could be. I'm still not able to eat much so I'm just kinda stuck right now. But I'm not worried at all. I'm still in recovery mode.
