Caaattt 37 Posted July 19, 2013 It's very hard !!!!! I was just put on mushy/soft foods and I don't even want to eat. I am not getting in enough Protein though !!! My nut said in order to get the weight coming off you have to get it in! Thus why I haven't lost for a week. It's def a decision I don't regret. Are you excited ???

JessicaAnn 564 Posted July 19, 2013 How are you feeling now? Awesome! I never felt any pain, never even used my pain pump in the hospital or filled my prescription. I've been back to my stay at home mom duties since day 3! The hardest part has been my mental battle with trying to overcome my food addiction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveE 4 Posted July 20, 2013 I live on Long Island too and wanted to jump in and join the conversation (this is my first post on this site) I am 3 months in to my 6 month supervised weight loss and will be using Dr. Roslin at Lenox Hill in NYC. If all goes as planned, I am hoping for a November surgery date. I keep thinking that this is the last summer being overweight and uncomfortable! What support groups does everyone go to? I would love a mentor through this process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supermom223 140 Posted October 28, 2013 Dr. Gadaleta here! I'll be having my surgery at North Shore. My nut who works with all north shore patients said north shore is very strict with post op foods. Like 2 months on liquids or something...that being said...my nut has only worked with north shore patients and thinks the drs there are awesome...I went 2 winthrop with dr barkan and he was fantastic...no issues at all...dr braithwait is the head of the deartment at winthrop and here from many that he is the best both professionally and personally...

SleeveE 4 Posted October 28, 2013 I would love the nutritionist's number. I went to the one in my surgeon's office but that is in the city, I would love a referral here in long island and Syosset is close to where I live. My surgery is next week! If anyone would like to get together for a sleeve support group, let me know. We can find a place and meet, talk and help guide each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
