hopeful2 be slim

get well soon Jane...Sometimes we do have problems...I have been suffering too much due to arthritis...I am slightly hopeful now and am thinking my stars have changed for the better. Earlier no treatment worked for me...but I hope the sleeve will help me in my journey to loose weight. All the best. I am glad you have a wonderful team.

oh no...I am sure you will soon be fine RJ. .even I thought leaks were detected EARLY...infact in hospital it self in the first 3 days... still at risk is a bit scary...what precautions do we take I wonder. all the best RJ...who was your surgeon...is he reputed...its not fair that you are having such complications.

Hi..I too am a revision patient....weight loss is slow...I have good restriction....I think the body take time to adjust....I feel now I am once again loosing weight.. all the best to you all.

I think you should eat more calories as your work out is quite strenuous. with such less food body may go into starvation mode.

Hello, I too am 3 months out...and no weight loss since a long time..I think I must increase my exercise....I will do it from today. wish my luck!!

yuo should eat sensibly every few hrs so you dont feel too hungry. follow the diet given to you. Hot dog so early is not advisable I think. the sleeve is still healing. all the best. Take care.

6 weeks is too early to try new foods I feel. i am sure the pain will reduce.the food you ate must be difficult for the new stomach to digest. all the best.take care.

i agree with you 1 day 1 life...its a change for a life time. we are here to get healthier....I am so cheerful now, no scitica pain,No bp,face is looking better,looking much slimmer....eating Proteins ,Water,veggies... I do feel good about all these things. all the best.

you are so lucky!!! you must be having a good metabolism.I am also almost 3 months...but slow weight loss...I am slow in my movement due to arthritis...cant walk much..so that makes a difference. congratulations!!

thanks so much..will surely try to find out.

I have been trying to walk more with the hope that the weight will fall off....my knees are bad and i cannot take painkillers... I am having too much pain since 2,3 days....I will try Water exercises tomorrow....But the pool is in a hotel...its at the back and after parking the car...there is a long pathway....oh....to walk that much and then get into the water ...I have not gathered courage for it... wish me luck...i am hoping to try it tomorrow.

thanks so much for all your posts!!! I live in India and we do not have many good amenities here. No warm pools or no special pools for exercising or for the elderly like they do abroad.I had seen such amenities in Melbourne when i visited my daughter. We are members here and it is a nice place to spend our evenings.. I will gather courage today.The first day will be the hardest. But I will do it. Thanks for motivating me!!

Hello..no I did not take clearance.for my doc for weights..i was reading these posts and many were doing weights... But I think we have scar tissue and other things..so stomach takes more time to heal.. I feel my weight loss is slow because...earlier with the band i was having a high Protein diet of 1000 cals.I was taking a shake daily....so my body is used to all these things...I have lost only in the liquid diet phase...now I have to try harder...I recently read that the body looses 10% of its weight easily..after that it takes time to adjust... my doc also never told me...but i have reached that conclusion that my weight loss will be slow... so I am being patient...all the best.

both of you look great!!! wow...you all have achieved some great results..hats off to you...

hello..dont you worry...recovery will be fine...hair loss is there but you get thicker hair later... we can have Protein shakes,cheese, nuts,legumes...so go for it.

even I weigh myself daily...I am afraid....suppose I put on and don't realize it...better to be aware of changes on a daily basis.I have always been weighing daily.even before the surgery.

hello, I too am a revision from band to sleeve...we have to be more careful as it was a longer surgery...my weight loss is very slow...i had started weights at 6 weeks but got a lot of swelling.. first few weeks are tough but soon you will forget them. so now i am being careful.i dare not ruin things by being careless...what is the hurry..i can wait few weeks... all the best to you both.

this is a major surgery...the stomach is swollen for 3 months...dont strain yourself...only walking is advised for 3 months... if you exert the stomach swells and pains...its not a good idea to over do it as we may develop a leak or some other complications. I was doing weights after 6 weeks but got swelling. so now its only walking for me.I dare not over exert and create problems for my self. all the best.

i have got a dull lower back pain...any one knows the reason...any connection with sleeve surgery...I hope not...

THANKS..i THINK ITS BECAUSE i AM NOT USING A GOOD CHAIR WHILE SITTING AT THE PC. started simple exercises and feeling better....

i have got a dull lower back pain...any one knows the reason...any connection with sleeve surgery...I hope not...

this is major surgery and there can be problems later....why not try lap band...few yrs back I was not ready for this drastic surgery...I had a lap band instead. Now after two years I have gone for a sleeve. all the best.
