Any April 10th Sleeves ?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on here. My sleeve was on April 10th. My sleeve was done by Dr Alvarez in Peidras Niegras, MX..

I wanted to meet people I can share this journey with :) My friends and family are supportive but they can't wrap there heads arounds why I chose this surgery. Every time I tell someone I had this surgery they look at me like I'm Nuts lol

I got contact dermatitis last week :( Went to urgent care and told the dr about my sleeve and she looked at me as if I ran over her dog lol

It's nice to have these forums and I welcome

All friends :)

How are you doing??

Im actually feeling GREAT! the only problem i have is getting the right amount of protien in. :(

Also.. I lost 27 pounds on the First week and lost only 4 the second week now going into the 3rd week i think im experiencing a stall... the weight just stays the same..

Hey I was sleeved 4/15/13 and am down 43 lbs as of today. Total w/ 2 week pre op 55 lbs lost. Pretty excited. I have only told a few people that I had the surgery other than family. I didn't want to get that look either. I see my nutritionist next week. I am curious if I am eating too much/too little. I feel like the weight is coming off slow or something. I think I am getting in all the Protein without having to use shakes...and nothing really upsets my stomach. I kinda expected to have a hard time with certain foods but so far everything I have tried I can eat. Wonder if that is normal...

      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.
