My success story on the Gastric Sleeve



Recommended Posts

I do apoligize to anyone because i mistakely put my information under the lap band and it should be under the gastric sleeve. My name is Sherry and I had the lap band done in 2010 and had to have it removed in January 2011 because of complications. So then i did some more research on the Gastric Sleeve and i had that done on April 16 2013 went from 310 lbs to my current weight of 236 and right know i am looking for people that i can chat with to hear there story and motiviation and helpful information that i may be able to use. Looking for snack ideas there was one i found is to put sliced bananas in the freezer and use Peanut Butter on them i heard it is very good. It has been 8 months since my surgery and i feel really great and i am able to chase after my four wonderful grandchildren and do many things that i was not able to do went from a size 26/28 to a size 18/20 and i am working to get down to maybe a size 16. Went to my doctors for the 6 month checkup and he was nopt happy that i only lost 12 pounds in 3 months and i had explained to him that i found out that i have capulitis in both of my feet and it is very painful to even walk on them but i started again on my treadmill day before yesterday and i am doing 6 laps starting out at speed 2.5 and ending at speed 3.0 and will be doing that for awhile and then gradually adding to that, I also have an exercise bike to but i really like my treadmill the best. If anyone out there has any recipes or snack ideas please let me know

Test diet which brings me back to the original diet, liquid for two days then Protein Did the doctor on banana and Peanut Butter.that sounds like a hi calorie food check with him. take a look at the

      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.
