Hi I am in S.A. had vs on 16 of April 14. I am 6 weeks out. Life has changed I was doing good til I started on mushy food. Then I could not tell if I ate to much so it is up to me with Portion Control. I thought I would know when from the surgery . Just my luck.

Hey guys. I was sleeve 4-21-14 by Dr. Duperier at Foundation Hospital. All is well except that I have been stalled since I started regular food. Bleh. (Dr. D is dr. Segers partner!)

I am also from San Antonio. I had my surgery(sleeve) in 12/29. At Methodist Speciality and Transplant. I'm on a soft diet and trying new foods. Feel like I'm doing well.

I'm in SA and I was sleeved 08.09.16. I see this is an old thread, maybe some one who got it years ago will reply with their progress?

I was sleeved 7/12at the Nix. So far so good. LxA, how are you doing so far? I lost about 25 lbs the first month. That includes weight loss from pre op diet. I weigh every two weeks. Feeling terrific, no complications and easy recovery thus far. Actually my doctor says I am fully recovered so it's focusing on the post diet for the next several months. From your numbers it seems like you are doing fantastic!

I'm OK 23 lbs down the pass 3 weeks (pre-op diet and now post-op life). No complications bit mild nausea because of gas/acid - indigestion. Apparently it's not usual, but I'm avoiding eating bc of the nausea, fluids are good though. Waiting for tomorrow so I can call my doc to see what kind of antacids I can take.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
