I began excercise one week after surgery just made myself now it is a habit I look forward to. I own an elliptical machine and treadmill no gym and have hand weights. I put in my earbuds and listen to music and go to town.

Down 53 pounds as of today, knock on wood, while I had 3 seperate weeks of very little weight loss, now I've been on a roll and it's been coming off fast. As I approach the 3 month mark, I am hoping I can keep it up enough to get to under 200 by the 6 month mark!

11 weeks out today. I have lost a total of 66 lbs, 45 since surgery. I know that I am not exercising enough and I think that the weight would come off quicker if I did more. I still cannot eat more than 2 oz. of dense Protein at a time and it still amazes me that I am satisfied with that.Overall, I am very happy so far with my loss. I also am very close to Onederland and I am hoping to get there in the next week or so! Yay! :D

HW-277; pre lap-band in 2006

SW-222; Sleeve date 7/16/13

CW-186.3

Extremely happy that I made the decision to revise from band to sleeve. Sometimes wish I was losing faster; but glad to be steadily losing and hopefully will have fewer loose skin issues since listing more slowly.

Having done both, I was curious of any major things in how you feel that are different. Thanks and congrats!

I am much happier with the sleeve. Had a lot of issues trying to get band regulated with fills/unfills; thin it slipped & caused hernia. Haven't had any of the "food getting stuck" issues since sleeved either like I did with band. Wish the sleeve would have been around when I had the band.

Today at my Endocrinologists office (diabetes) I almost got off insulin shots however the pills he wanted to give me was on before on the past. The med. Metformin caused such bad stomach upset in the mornings I thought I had IBS until I stopped taking it so I refused and requested another pill. End result still on shots lower dose again. I go back in January.

I am almost 10 weeks out and have only lost 33 lbs since surgery 7/31. It is 3.3 lbs a week which should be considered good but not by my hospital! However, my new NUT (the old one moved) said due to my 42 lb pre-op loss that I was probably plateauing as my body adjusted. 29 she said anyday I should start seeing more rapid loss.

I do need to exercise more but my work hours suck and I can only workout on days off whish is 2 days a week. I want to get a more fixed schedule (why I am looking for a new job) so I can exercise more regularly.

I have had to buy new clothes though. Out of 30/32s and into solid 26/28!

      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.
