December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

[Jerzygurl 372]

Glad to see so many are doing well. Good luck to all those now on the other side...and best wishes to those who have this one last weekend before coming to the other side...

Everyone will soon be sleeved... December is moving soooo fast.

I'm officillay sleeved and home from the hospital. My surgery went well but I did have some wicked gas pains. I walked A LOT and got some relief. I was only allowed the lemon swabs until this morning...I was so happy for my sips of Water.< /p>

Congrats on being on the losers bench!!! Happy to hear that everything went well. Praying for your speedy recovery & looking forward to hearing about your journey from here on out!

3 days post op. Having trouble determining when I am full. I feel hunger (not head hunger, its def my tummy hunger). I get pain with any swallow of anything except cream of wheat. Gas pain has been lessening. Anyone have some thoughts on feeling full? I have no idea how much I should be consuming in a day. Last instructions were 4 - 30 ml cups an hour.

Hi ladies. . I'm a Dec11th as well... nerves are crazy right now

I completely understand! The closer you get the more you think about it and the worse your nerves get!

[moni75 22]

Hi! Dec 30 band to sleeve revision for me. Can't wait!!

[Sns513 55]

Welcome to our new friends!

Just a reminder, if you want to participate on the pounds lost thread, we're getting SUPER close to the 5000 pound goal - right now we're at 4797.

We'd love to have you join - jump on over and post the amount of pounds you would like to lose after the surgery, and I'll get you on the double top secret spreadsheet!

http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/288367-december-2013-sleever-pounds-lost-log/

Also, if you're post-op, keep posting those pounds...I'm already recording those as well!

Yep, the stomach can still growl.. I actually felt it on Wednesday because I wasn't eating enough Protein. So I started adding my flavored Protein Shots to my crystal light Water and just sipping on it all day...it has helped two fold. Other than that-- attempting to eat 4oz of strained cream of chicken Soup and/or cream of wheat about 5x a day to keep me feeling full. I'm eating like every 3.5 hours.

As for knowing when I'm full, NUT told me not worry about that right now, said it comes naturally along the journey. He said I should just worry about eating small meals throughout the day and getting in my 73 grams of protein and 64 oz of water every day. That's what I've been concentrating on, so far so good.

Try to just focus on getting the protein and water in...and let the fullness come naturally.

Good Luck.

Mine took only 2 days and had surgery December 3

[luckyyou0521 42]

Is anyone drinking the Isopure clear drinks? I got some last night because they were on sale. They have 40 grams of Protein so I got a few. If you are, which flavors did you like?

I got them and I have two left. I tried the mango peach but it was super sweet and I got sick from it. My sister said you have to really Water them down!

[bmm35 27]
