Anyone having the sleeve in april?!



Recommended Posts

Sleeve revision 4/10 and down 45lb. Slow weight loss for me but I'm wearing the same size I was wearing when I was 30lbs less than I am now. As long as it coming off I'm happy.

I'm envious everyone seems to be losing more than me, i'm just hoping it's from starting at an earlier date or higher number -- i'm frustrated anyway. ON surgery day i was 277, and now 235, so down 42 since surgery, 52 since pre-op diet. I eat under 650 calories a day and around 70 grams of Protein, and man it's hard. I exercise 6 days a week, alternating a strength training routine (not overwhelmingly hard) and a Couch-to-5k app plan on my phone. I"m on week six of that now, and i actually do like it, much to my surprise. I sure thought I'd lose more though. I asked the NUT and the doctor and the RN assigned to the program, and the NUT said to up calories to 800 (I did that for two weeks, lost nothing!) and the doc and RN said to keep close to 600 and it would come off. Yeah - well, it's darned slow in doing so it feels like. But i'm still happy with the surgery, at least the numbers are going in the right direction.

I don't really measure calories, I just focus on getting my Protein in first....still have a shake or bar a day and eat veggies as my secondary food source after protein. My common food items these days are cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, green veggies, fresh fruit, lentils and quinoa. Taking it one day at a time and drinking lots of Water (with Crystal Light cause plain is not the same anymore!)

Update!

Surgery date: 4/22/14

Complications: 0

Difficulties: Still eating most of my calories at night in front of the tv. Oh! and beer...I miss beer. Bubbles really irritate my sleeve. Luckily I have never cared about soda

Disappointments: None really...losing my hair is pretty horrifying

Beginning weight: 231

Current weight: 162

Pounds lost: 69 lbs

Size: Went from a tight 16 and am now a solid 10...can probably wear an 8 in some brands, but haven't tried one on yet.

Body parts lost: My friend saw me in a bathing suit yesterday and exclaimed "What the hell happened to your boobs!?" I am shedding hair like a dog in summer!

Hi my name is Jackie from Miami fl! My surgery is scheduled April 2 and I am super nervous! I hope I get the approval from the insurance... My fiancé doesn't talk about my surgery at all unless I mention something about it. In definitely looking for others to talk to about my journey.

      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.
