  1. I hope you've been well. How is the weight loss coming along? Mine seem to have stalled for a while..

  2. Sure!! Sorry I have not been on for a few days.. My email address is njoki50@gmail.com

  3. But I keep telling myself.. with the way we now eat, the weight's gotta get off.. It is just common sense that it should drop.. When was your surgery date?

    I am glad I am now feeling healthy.. I mean no getting sick when I eat.. whcih is a good thing. What has been your experience? I look forward to a good buddy.. :)

  4. Hi there!!

    Thanks for writing.. Sorry for the delay i response, esp given the time difference.

    My computer at home has broken down so I had to wait to come to work to see this.

    I would love to be your buddy..

    We hae the same experience. I also feel like my weight is not coming off.. I still wear the same clothes.. yesterday though, I had pants that were very l...

    Hi Kansas1973: Do you have any 18-16? Thanks.. Jackie 100
  6. Congratulations! Great job..
  7. I have been reading all your posts and I am so inspired!! I need help!!!! I was sleeved on 8/9/2010. When I went for my 2-wk post op appt, I had lost 20 lbs since a month before.. (pre-op and post op). I don't feel any progress any more. I am afraid to weigh myself. My stomach feels big - I don't feel any change. I am full all the time. I am glad I have no pain or discomfort. My problem is that I am unable to eat anything.. If I eat anything I throw up.. I have trouble drinking.. I can't get in all my fluids.. I try to get at least 60 gm of protein in.. and by then I am so, so full.. is that why I am not losing, because I am not drinking? My pants still don't feel loose. I do look like I have lost weight in my face, though.. Pls tell me I will lose. Sometimes a thought crosses my mond that I will be the one that will not lose - but then again, that does not make sense given that I don't eat. I should lose. Or is my stomach still swollen from the surgery? one good thing though, I sleep so well... I tried to look for a buddy so I can get coached through the process but I was not successful. A few said they would help then disappeared on me. I even met one buddy but she never contacted me after our meeting. Would someone please like to help me? Thank you all... Excuse the tirade!!

    I still feel FAT

    Thank you, Maddie. I guess I will hang in there.. I think I am just real swollen.. I will ask questions as I experience stuff.. What a learning process!!

    Thank you for your encouragement.
  11. Hi there!!

    How are you doing? I hope you are healing well.

    Praying for you.

    Keep in touch

  12. Everyone is different. I had almost no pain at all. After I went home - the 2nd day- I think I took liquid Lortab 2 times.. I had a little discomfort but not pain. I went back to work after 2 weeks. I could have gone back in a week. I was completely fine. You may be one of those without the pain or with some.. No one can tell you exactly how YOU will feel. Good luck. I am praying for you.
  13. I was sleeved on 8/9. So far so good. No pain whatsoever but I have a pain tube goin in my stomach. I get it removed tomorrow.. I also have a drain on the other side. Both will be removed. My issue is in getting in all that Protein.. So far I am getting about 50 g. I am reallystruggling.. Everytime I sip I gag.. I get so full. No hunger at all.. Pls let me know what to do. Can't wait to be on the loser's bench.. so far I can see lbs melting from my face.. :thumbup:

    4 days post-op..

    Thanks for encouragement. Today was a better day.. I drank almost 50 gr of protein and 40 of water.. Yippee!!! I was really full earlier but not too bad now... I believe it will get better.. Went to my Dr.'s office and had drains removed.. I was not weighed.. Will do my first weighin on my 2week post op next Friday.. Good luck to you.. I hope you continue to add on the beverages..

    Hello Buddies!

    I got sleeved on Monday, 8/9 in Dallas Tx. So far so good.. no pain.. but I can't drink much.. I fear not being able to get in all the protein.. I go to have my pump removed tomorrow and will ask the Dr. what to do. Ask anything.. I don't know much since I am so new but will share what I know..
  16. Hey Lisa,

    How are you doing? How is the weightloss coming along? You seemed to be doing great!!

    I sent you a message last week after we met and I did not hear back from you. Strange.. given you are so good with responding.

    I hope I did not offend you at the meeting.

     

    Be blessed.

    Jackie

  17. Thanks.

     

    Yes, so far so good with the pre-op liquid diet.. Not even feeling hungry.. I do not want to sabotage myself.. I see my Doc for my last appt tomorrow.. I hope I will have lost a bit.. I just started the diet on Sunday night.

     

    I will be one week post-op when you go so I will be able to give you some 411.. :)

    Be blessed!!!

  18. I have a surgery date. August 9th. I need someone who has had a good experience with the Sleeve Surgey to coach me through the process. I have a pre-op appt on Monday, 7/26. Need to know how to prepare, what to ask, what to expect and then we can go from there. I sure do appreciate this. Thank you.

    65-70 lbs to lose

    I think your weight loss is ok... but I am not a good judge since I have not been sleeved. I will start my preop diet tomorrow, 7/26. I get sleeved on 8/9. I will be sure to update how it is going. I would love to lose slowly. One thing I did not like about the gastric bypass is how quickly the weight came off.. of course including the malabsorption and the whole bypass issue.. That is why I chose the sleeve.. I would like to lose my 70 lbs in a year.. not in 6 months.. we'll see what happens.. Be encouraged and pls continue to update us.
  24. Hi t here.. I am being sleeved on Aug 9th in Dallas, Tx.. Let's keep in touch..
  25. Jackie100

    Today is the day!!!

    Paraying for and thinking about you 2.. Take courage. You will both be fine.. Please let us know how it all goes.
