September sleeve



Recommended Posts

How are my fellow September sleeves doing so far? Just had surgery on the 2nd. Today is day four and can transition to full liquids. How has that been for anyone so far?

I too had surgery on 9/2/2015. I also had hiatal hernia repair. I think that is where most of my pain came from. I didn't walk after I came home (2 nights in hospital). The weather was bad and I just didn't feel like getting out of the house. I did do some leg lifts to help move the gas, etc. Is anyone having a lot of diarrhea? Boy, I am...about 30 minutes after I eat anything you better clear the path for me! I'm not able to use anything sugar-free. It tears my stomach up and gives me a headache. I knew this going in but my surgeon didn't seem to believe me. But that's OK. I see him on Thursday this week for a 2 week follow up. I'm down 15 pounds but 35 inches! I'm pretty excited. I'm just glad it's over before the holidays. I know I'll feel better to Celebrate them. Good luck everyone!

Don't compare yourself to other people byebyefat. Your journey is yours alone. Since my last reply I'm down about another 15 lbs. The total is about 46 now since my 9/14 surgery. How your doing well. I am exercising more now. The wit is coming odd showy and that's fine with me. My SW was 234. My CW is 187. Don't want to lose much more. I feel great. My hair is coming back. I was low in Vitamins A & K. Was laying hair by the handfuls but now I think it's normal again and my hairdresser told me today she sees lots of regrowth. Thank Gawd! How is everyone doing? I haven't been on here in a while.

Byebyefat. Question. I'm not very familiar with this site yet. How do you copy my reply then reply to it? I mis-spoke. I was deficient in A & B12. Not K as I said earlier. You will stalk fire a little bit and then start losing again. Are you exercising yet? Just move. Even if it's only 15 min.a day. Push yourself. Yolk be glad you did. Trust me. You will feel better physically and emotionally too. ???? XO ????

Well tomorrow will be 6 months for us. How are you doing? I'm down 50 and feeling like I've been reborn. Exercise is so much easier and I'm trying different classes at the gym now. Zumba, training, elliptical, treadmill. Want to try a yoga and kickboxing next. Hope all of my fellow sleeves are doing well. Happy Spring. ????????????

      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.
