Looking for those who had sleeve in August 2015



Recommended Posts

Hey there! Imp a little late to the conversation but was sleeved on Aug 3rd. Things have been good for the most part! Certainly happy with my weight loss but I don't want to eat! I am really struggling with food! When I think about it everything sounds good, and smells good but when I think about actually eating it I feel nauseous! Anyone else have this problem? I also have had what I call a lump in my throat since week3. Its not really a lump and it comes and goes but it also gives me a sick feeling. I have tried taking Omneprozal 20mg. a day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any ideas?

Hi. In having the same problem with food. While in theory everything looks and smells good, I am not able to eat more than 2 bites without feeling like I've eaten a horse. Getting most of my nutrients via supplements and Protein Shakes. On a good morning, I am able to eat one half of a boiled egg.

My reflux is terrible and I have been suffering with nausea for the past week.

I do good on fluids but mostly flavored calorie free stuff - easier to get in than plain Water. I set mini targets like a glass before i leave for work, a glass when i get to work before Breakfast (I eat around 9:30) a glass between Breakfast and lunch and so on, so i meet each mini target making up the required amount by the end of the day.

food wise i'm ok, not much i can't tolerate had vomiting/slimmies twice and dumping when i eat dairy. but otherwise fairly normal foods. Struggling to get my Protein in though I never make target but Surgeon seems to thinks that it's good enough for now and i'll get more in over the next few months.

2lb away from half way mark, although i know this half was the easiest and .5lb away from Onderland.

So yes 72 lb and counting Surgery weight was 411 I'm at 338 and my surgery was 8/25. I am 6'5 so I'm sure that helps. Hope everyone has a goodnight

Well I hit my first goal! Sleeved 8/24 and I'm down 30 lbs! Next goal is getting to under 200 (-19 more ). I've been stalling for about 2 wks now so I've upped the Protein and calories slightly, and have started my exercising.

I was sleeved August 27th and am down 32 pounds from surgery! Congrats to every person on every pound lost! Am doing pretty well but have a hard time eating because overall disinterest in food. I am able to eat basically anything and am allowed carbs but am scared of them because that's what got me here!

      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.
