UPDATE ON OCTOBER SLEEVERS WHERE ARE YOU



Recommended Posts

Wow, everyone is doing awesome! Of course we all heard that we would be successful, but if ya'll are like me, nothing in the weight loss department has ever been successful. So, it was, I'll believe it when I see it, for me. I still don't see it in the mirror,but I certainly do on the scale! So, here's my latest:

Just hit 6 months post op, HW 273 and CW 170. I'm so proud of myself and am off all of my meds (15 in total) for asthma, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, anxiety, hypothyriodism, and several muscle relaxers and pain meds.

I went to the dr today and left super ticked off. My door was cracked open and I overheard the medical asst talking to another office worker two doors down at the nurses station and this is what he said, "This girl is on Clonopin, Norco, (and he went down the list of my former meds) and shes complaining of palpitations, no wonder she has palpitations..." I got up, walked out there, and said, "my door IS cracked open!" and walked back in the room. I didn't get an apology or anything! When the dr came in, he discussed my urine with me and asked me to call in the morning because he thinks it may be my thyroid levels and at that point I said, "well I'm sure it has nothing to do with the Clonopin, Norco, or other meds I'm no longer taking unlike what you medical asst was discussing regarding my medication history with the nurses station." I thought I was going to have to pick him up, he didn't respond for several seconds and then apologized saying that they'd get my records straightened out. So, I said, "well it's not the records I'm concerned about. My concern is that your medical asst discussed my medical history with someone other than anyone he was giving report to and haven worked in a hospital for 12 years, I know a little bit about my HIPAA rights." He walked out and I heard him giving him hell, but I still didn't get an apology. Errr, I'm still getting judged. I hate it! Sorry for the rant!

On a better note, I just got through kidney stones without being hospitalized or having to have a stent unlike in the past!

Here is my recent pic:

I am in my 9th month high weight 365 lost 83 lbs its truly a blessing from God. I have not had one stall or weight gain. WHY because I weigh at the end of each month ONLY on my surgery day, workout 6 days a week and drink 10 glasses of Water per day and consume 1200 calories a day and eat something every 3 hrs to boost my matablism loving me and life. Keep up the good work

I was sleeved 10/10/12 and lost 150 pounds but I am at a stall can't seem to move. I went back to the gym but because I can eat more I am eating more. So I went to Weight Watchers last weekend. I am trying to get out of the 300's been there for over 25 years. I am determined to make it happen.

      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.
