KimRn1999 1 Posted December 29, 2014 I made the decision to have my sleeve when my diabetes was severely effecting my kidneys. I of course wanted to lose weight but that was the determining factor for me. I am very lucky to be a nurse who works on a surgical floor. One of which is a wonderful bariatric surgeon. I went through the process pretty quickly. My starting weight was 243 and day of surgery I was at 230. This is my 3rd week post op and I am down to 206. I feel great in all but I am still having trouble eating the recommended Protein and maintaining my Water intake. I feel full very fast. I can drink a Protein Shake which helps. I am looking forward to seeing more weight come off! Kim Rn1999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fezik23 240 Posted December 29, 2014 I don't have much to say that will be helpful. Just "hang in there" and be patient. I hope the health problems are already better than when you first posted this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
