Hello Out There August 2016 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I have no idea... Just the Campbell's cream of Tomato and cream of mushroom made with skim milk. I've only had 1 serving a day though.

Mine hasn't changed as much as yours. I was 301.7 on 8/9 DOS and have been at 294.3 for the last 3 days lol I guess my body is angry. Are you on only clears? I can have Protein shakes and strained cream Soups, too. And AF started today so that could be another issue, lol!

Out of curiosity are the Soups you are eating carb heavy? Carbs are a concern of mine because I'm a vegetarian

If I were you I'd switch soups. Granted every program is different I admit I'm kind of surprised that you have been cleared for all foods already. I'm looking forward to eating soft food by the end of this week, whoo hoo!

"@@Lee Mag" Canned soups have alot of sodium so you may be retaining fluids.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have full confidence in my surgeon. He's nationally recognized and the director of the program here in Pittsburgh, so I am sure he knows what he is doing. I think all surgeons are just different. He has never had a staple line leak nor death, so I'm going to roll with it. :) But I'm not cleared for all foods. I can have Clear Liquids, Protein Shakes, strained (watery) cream Soups.< /p>

I'm on full liquids and it's been fine! I'm just learning this. I'm sure there is an easier way with the app, but I signed up on my computer with Facebook and can't figure out how to login to the app since it doesn't give me a FB option. So I just use the browser on my iPhone. If you click the post, it will say "Quote". That's how I did it. If I get time today, I might get on my computer and figure it all out better. I have 3 small girls, so we shall see if I do get time. LOL!

Cool hows the liquid diet going. Exercising?? .. Quick question how do like posts and how do u reply to a specific post like that.

Thanks

You will do great! I haven't had any issues with being dizzy aside from once this weekend when I ran up my steps too fast.

My poor belly is all bruised, lol. I have to give myself Lovenox injections because I had a pulmonary embolism 4 years ago after the birth of my youngest daughter. So I'm on those for 4 weeks post surgery. So keep walking! It's good to keep moving. :) wouldn't wish that on anyone!!!

I don't know the official answer except I've been sleeping on my belly since the 3rd night, careful not to slide around at all. It's been great and got all of my lingering gas out. Haha I would say follow your body/pain. I don't have any and haven't been on meds since DOS.

My doctor strongly recommends that we try to take in at least 64oz. per day. Initially it was hard for me, only being able to take in sips at a time. But, now (13 days post op), I feel like I can drink like I used to without a problem. I’m able to drink 20oz of Protein in about 30-45 minutes.

Ok so I have a question. How many ounces do y'all drink at a time?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
