Success' and Struggles of the Sleeve

Entries in this blog

Are you ready for this lifestyle? (I am and so is my family)

Since having this surgery October 13th I have lost 63 pds and feel great. People that did not know can not help but ask how I have lost the weight. I have no trouble explaining to them the struggles I have gone through my whole life. Those of you that have had the surgery and those thinking about it all have let FOOD control us and our lifestyle.   It is crazy to look back and see how our everyday lives were centered around food; what we ate, when we ate, when are we eating next, and how

Are you kidding me 45 pds in a month! I am feeling great and now eating out...

Wow! I try not to get too excited each time I check my weight. As those who have struggled with weight loss we ask ourselves, when is the other shoe going to drop and the weight stops coming off? Well I am sure at some point I will stall and have doubts, but it is my peers and support group and this site that will help me move on.   Just a little back ground I started my liquid diet weight 328 pds on October 13th. I tipped the scales the day of surgery at 307. Today, and to my amazement

On Solids again WOW... On my way to healthy me; but why the surgery?

I started my solids this week with one egg on Wednesday, Thursday I had egg for breakfast and tuna for lunch, and today I have had a scrambled egg with cheese and shaved chicken for lunch. I hope to have salmon for dinner! I am telling you the amounts I was able to eat prior to the surgery would be gut wrenching and now I am only to put one egg down and feel very satisfied, 2 oz of shaved chicken ..... to me that is unbelievable.   I must warn those whom are thinking of having the surgery

5 Days since surgery and back to Work!

My surgery was last Wednesday and Dr Tim Hoen performed it www.kcbariatic.com I am telling you it could have not been easier. I was up walking a few hours after surgery and really could have come back to work Friday, but took the weekend and transition was even better. I am both mentally and physically better.   The worst part for me was gas pain and not being able to get any fluids down. As a matter of fact I really had to force myself to try and get 12-20 ounces of fluid down the next

From: Life After the Sleeve

So I figured I'd post a (hopefully) short note on what my life is like about 5 months after my lap sleeve, for any prospective sleevers.   First, the bad news -- this is forever, and it's not a decision to be made lightly. This WILL affect the food choices you make for the rest of your life. It's probably the safest WLS surgery around (when you total up operative and perioperative risks, long-term success rates, M&M stats, and so on), but that doesn't mean it's risk- or hassle-free.

Who is really ready?

Is any one ever really ready for what the road ahead brings? We can think and tell ourselves we are, but are we?   Many questions have gone through my mind on this journey and I would venture that a lot of those same questions and thoughts have been shared at one point or another.   For me personally, I have been contemplating this surgery since it was suggested by my doctor. Sure, she has always said you are overweight and there are risks and you need to diet etc....   I have Obstruc
