Hey!! I'm Egyptian but born and raised in NYC! I went to Cairo to get sleeved since I didn't really meet the criteria to be covered by my insurance. I was sleeved 12/22/12. I weight 225. Three weeks later I am 203.

Welcome! What doctor in Egypt did your surgery? What hospital did you use?

Hello all.. I'm Syrian :)

Sleeved on Oct. 22

Was 222.5 lbs (101 kg.) now after 12 weeks , I'm 179 lbs (81.2 kg.)

Not satisfied with how much I lost, I know people did it later and lost more..

The problem is that my Dr gave me no diet program for more than 4 weeks.. now I eat whatever I want..

Welcome! Are you currently living in Syria? Where were you sleeved?

I was sleeved on the same day. I've lost 26/27 kilos.....but I started out at 143. I should be losing more but this past two weeks I'm not drinking Water and I haven't exercised. I'm in some kind of funk.

My Doc didn't give a food plan either. That's the middle east for you lol

I stated following this diet program today

قﺒﻞ ﺍﻟﻔﻄﻮﺭ ﻛﻮﺏ ﻣﺎﺀ ﺩﺍﻓﺊ ﻣﺬﺍﺏ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻣﻠﻌﻘﺔ ﻋﺴﻞ

ﺍﻟﻔﻄﻮﺭ :

4 ﻣﻌﺎﻟﻖ ﺷﻮﻓﺎﻥ ﻛﺒﻴﺮﺓ ﻣﻊ ﻛﻮﺏ ﺣﻠﻴﺐ ﻗﻠﻴﻞ ﺍﻟﺪﺳﻢ

ﺃﻭ ﻋﺼﻴﺮ ﺑﺮﺗﻘﺎﻝ ﻣﻊ ﺻﺤﻦ ﺻﻐﻴﺮ ﻓﻮﻝ ﻣﺪﻣﺲ ﻭﺧﺒﺰﺓ ﺳﻤﺮﺍ

ﺍﻟﻐﺪﺍ:

ﻃﺒﻖ ﻣﻔﺮﻛﺔ ﻛﻮﺳﺎ ﻣﻊ ﺳﻠﻄﺔ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺷﻮﻓﺎﻥ

ﺃﻭ ﻃﺒﻖ ﺳﺒﺎﻧﺦ ﻣﻊ ﺳﻠﻄﺔ ﺳﺒﺎﻧﺦ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺷﻮﻓﺎﻥ

ﺳﻠﻄﺔ ﺑﻄﺎﻃﺎ ﻣﻊ ﺳﻠﻄﺔ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺧﺲ ﻧﻌﻨﻊ ﺑﺼﻞ ﺃﺧﻀﺮ ﻭﺷﻮﻓﺎﻥ

ﺑﻌﺪ ﺳﺎﻋﺘﻴﻦ ﻛﻮﺏ ﺻﻐﻴﺮ ﻗﻤﺮ ﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ

ﺍﻟﻌﺸﺎﺀ:

ﺗﻔﺎﺡ ﻭ ﺑﺎﺑﻮﻧﺞ ﺃﻭ ﺃﻧﻨﺎﺱ ﻭﺑﺎﺑﻮﻧﺞ

ﻗﺒﻞ ﺍﻟﻨﻮﻡ ﻣﻠﻌﻘﺔ ﺯﻳﺖ ﺯﻳﺘﻮﻥ

I will follow it for the next week...

I was extremely sad when I found out that I lost less than a kilo last ten days ..

Akid plus my Protein shake..

Tell me your opinion please :)

SyrRose,

Did you get this from your sleeve nutritionist? It seems like a normal diet. I haven't found one nutritionist that is too experienced with sleeve surgery here in Lebanon. You need more Protein and less carbohydrates. How far are you post surgery?

Online read about a program by a Dr. Joseph Chebli, it gives you a good starting program. Just Google his name.

Good luck

Salaam where are you from? I know what you mean I was sleeved December 8 and really don't get hungry at all but make myself eat my Protein and vegetable when I can fit it in after the protein. I too get very light headed especially during the mornings :)

      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.
