Recommended Posts

Time sure does fly !! I had my sleeve 4 weeks ago today. I was lucky that my recovery was quick and painless. The hardest part so far, is getting all my fluids & Protein in. I am getting there though. I just don't feel like eating so I do two Protein Shakes per day and a few small 3oz drinkable yogurts. I manage a few bites at lunch anda few bites at dinner (all protein, of course) I have a food and Fluid journal. I also track my BP daily since mam on meds for High BP. I am happy with the amount of weight I have lost and so happy I made this life changing decision. Wishing everyone well !!

Hi Shelly. I was sleeved 8/18 so tomorrow is my one month. Our diets sound very similar! I'm never hungry.

Just wondering if you experience nausea? Around week 3 I started getting random nausea, but two days it was SO BAD that I only had one Protein shake those days.

I'm hoping this doesn't happen while I'm at work! Returning to work on Wednesday.

Hello to all the 8/17 sleevers (and 8/18 :)

I can't believe a month has gone by either! Last year at this time I was unhappy with my weight and wondering what I would be able to do to get to a weight I would be happy with. I was wearing a size 22W, and just miserable. I could never have imagined that in March I would call the bariatric center and start this process and be ONE MONTH out at this time! I'm halfway to my goal...and I'm so thankful.

Everyone seems be doing so well! Keep it up!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
