Recommended Posts

Weird how I'm not using anything I thought I would post op. I ordered Unjury chocolate and have been using it twice a day with almond coconut milk and the rest the day is broth Soup or crystal light and yogurt. In another week I can do cottage cheese etc so it like the getting in Protein part was never a problem. I have my Syntrax and will def use it but for sone reason the milk and unjury feel great and taste better so why ruin a good thing! Now u just need to order more cuz it took forever to get here and cannot buy it locally.

So I had surgery on Nov 6 with Dr Alvarez. I can not explain my joy!!! Dr A and his staff is everything you could ask for!!! I have never had such great care and an easy recovery. I was walked the river walk in San Antonio for 4 hrs day I was released. I am not having any problems getting my Fluid in. Dr Alvarez,Jessica and the rest of his staff is the best!!! 20lbs down and I just began!!!

I had gastric sleeve on Nov. 24 and am new to this site. I don't know what "buddying up" is, but it sounds good to me! I could use a few friends to compare notes with.

@@Elizabeth1124, I have surgery 11/13. I feel great. How are things going for you?

I came back to add, I noticed that we have the same goal weight and I am only an inch shorter than you. At my last appointment (Jan 2nd) my surgeon told me that I should probably change my goal weight because he isn't sure I will get there. When I started this process I told him that I would be thrilled to get down to 160. He is the one that told me 140 was the best goal for me. Now he has changed his mind but in the same sentence tells me I am doing well . . . If you don't mind sharing, how many calories are you eating daily? I have PCOS so I am trying to keep my carbs at 40.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
