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

Hi Sherry my name is Kathy, i has the gastric bypass two years ago and in the past 3 months have started to put weigh back on, i have gotten seriously worried, and I am starting on the Pouch

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

5 day pouch diet, and you will start to lose again

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
