lash44 313 Posted September 29, 2012 Update from sleeve surgical procedure. Doing just fine, pre-op weight 300 lbs., post-op 185, sometimes it hops up to 190, but in time it usually drops down to 185. I am on the road 80 percent of the time, which makes it very difficult to adjust to my new lifestyle of eating. Considering getting a portable hot plate or an induction cooker. Places with stoves are best, then I can prepare the foodstuff. Energy has improved, don't always feel tired like I use to, have vigor and get-up-and-go on most days. In-so-far as health and wellness, blood pressure very good, diabetes exceedingly good, gout gone, elevated cholesterol, prostate trouble that's gone too, and don't have deal with the "little blue pill" any longer. On the down side, cannot tolerate greasy food, such as fried seafood, highly seasoned stuff, Beans, and other tasty food (I am from the south). There is the social dilemma with loosing much weight so fast, family and friends differences. Foolishness on the job. But this 61 year old takes it all in stride. We fellow sleever,s that's my chronicle. So far life is great. Take care & be well, Lash 5 ProudGrammy, jazzeeja, Frza and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gottaloozit 27 Posted September 29, 2012 Fantastic! I am scheduled for surgery on Oct 11th, just a week from this coming Thursday. I found the information in your post to be calming and it gives me assurance not to be so nervous as to whether or not this is the right decision for me. Thanks for taking the time to share! 1 stokesmommy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
