Looking for those who had sleeve in August 2015



Recommended Posts

I actually don't care for the extra attention. Maybe I'm 100% comfortable yet. But my family is always like "wow look at you" "you lost so much weight" and then that's later followed by me having to explain the surgery and what I eat, do I work out, am I afraid of even complications. ..etc..blah blah blah. And I have a really big family and we do gathering and cook outs every holiday. So for the past New Years Day, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day and all the in between kid birthday party gatherings I have to explain the sleeve surgery to a Aunt, a Cousin, a Uncle or my grandma and dad which I have already explained the whole procedure and process to about 10X's! It's easier to ignore coworkers and neighbors ignorance but with family I guess I just have to deal

Hi

I have been struggling my friends. I am at my goal weight of 177.(now its 168)..now i seem to be a fat out of shape person who just happened to lose 72 pounds and has a smaler stomach.I have been eating alot more junk. Funny thing i feel like junk. Felt so good mentally when i was eating better. I have a personal trainer ( no charge and a blessing) to help me get stronger. My hair is so thin, I am thankful i had the surgery but seem like im back to some bad behaviors. Still cant drink water!!! If i use crystal light it is a bit better. I guess I haven't come on here as I don't want to be negative. eating at night, eating chips....having a few cold beers. Ambarrassed.

Started at 245, goal is either 125 or 130, depending how I feel when I get there. Currently at 137, and down 108 pounds so either 7 or 12 pounds from goal. Currently in a size 6/8 depending on brand.

I'm thrilled with my success so far, and feeling more like a normal person about how I approach food. Struggling with body image, as I know size 6/8 is not fat, but with jiggly excess skin on the tummy, I don't feel very trim. Working on that.

Where are the pics people?? Lol

Sorry you're struggling. Try going back to basics and getting back on track! You don't want to start putting on weight again!

Me three, I HATE the attention now, weight is going great, but just leave me alone, lets talk about something other than me.... That is killing me.... The undertone is always jealousy and the more they talk and ask with every opportunity you start to see the pattern...

I was sleeved on 8/18 my HW was 264 and my current is 182 so I'm down 82lbs. It has definitely slowed down but I guess that's normal.

Today for Breakfast I'm having 2 scrambled eggs. I have grilled chicken with broccoli and about 6 noodles of Pasta for lunch and I brought a small container of Greek yogurt for a snack. Last night I had sushi for dinner, just three pieces and some edamame.

How's everyone doing on Vitamins? Still buying those expensive "bariatric" chewables, liquids or easily dissolved? My 6 months post op labs were good and all I was taking were the bariatric Multivitamins

I also take Centrum but my PCP wants me to take chewables so long as I can tolerate them. She says they're just easier to digest so why not. ???? I guess... I mean they don't taste bad,& labs were good,so I'll keep buying them.

      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.
