Looking for sleeve buddy in Houston Area surgery was 12/04/13



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 12/04/2013 and doing really well so I thought. But now my mind is starting to play tricks on me. You fill as though you can eat more than you really can and boom it hits you quickly. You are so full that even one bite more will cause that uncomfortable filling that doesn't go away for some time. Does anyone else that this issue if so what did you do?

Mine is Dr. Turnquest at Houston Methodist Willowbrook excellent doctor. I am almost 5 weeks out and have hit plateau for about 1 week now. My daughter had her surgery on 12/11/13 lost 24 lbs and I have lost 18 lbs. I'm not sure if it is an age thing since we eat about same thing. But we have follow up tomorrow will see what is going on at that time. I feel great more energy and walking on treadmill moving around much more. I'm not sure if not eating enough Protein to many carbs or what is going on. :( But enjoying changes that are taking place. Talk to you soon.

I feel exactly the same way. My nutritionist said I am over eating and eating too quickly. I have not found the trick to slow down yet :(

      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.
