I think THE single most important thing- IF you have issues with food (the "lifestyle") then you need to get that fixed first. The surgery won't change your brain- it will only stop you from eating too much for a while.... You can learn to out eat the sleeve- and you will if you have issues. I don't think the surgery is for everyone- I think it's for those that are done with overindulging and done with unhealthy choices in food- and only for those people that are submitting to the idea that they will take whatever changes are given to them, and embrace getting thin---- over their own bad choices. It's like anything- it's a choice. You either choose a new lifestyle and a new healthy body- or you choose to be bummed out because you can't sabotage your life and body with food..... Which in large doses is poison and deadly. ❤ I hope this makes sence. Just like any diet or self help- it will ONLY work if you are ready to COMMIT! And you are ready to WORK for it! ❤ I say this all loving. I'm not trying to come across a b***h ❤

couldn't have given any better advice! LOVE IT!

The only thing I would add is veggies. Spinach is one of my staples. I steamed my veggies and ate them when my family ate Pasta, rice or potatoes. Anything you might put over these starches, you can put over veggies! Now I'm far enough out I can eat them raw. Hooray!! Raw veggies were ironically the only food I "mourned" post surgery.

I am 7wks porlst op and its still difficult to eat slow. Its a mind thing i know but anyone else struggling too?

Never heard of this surgery till I googled it. I read that it is for those who want to loose up to 75 pounds. I wish I would have known of this surgery, I would have looked into it. Just do your research and find a website forum for those who had the POSE surgery and see what those that actually had the surgery have to say. Good luck

LOL.. Actually, I think it's similar to a pilcation .. Which brings me back to my original thought

He wondered how she'd take it when he said goodbye.
Thought she might do some cryin': lose some sleep at night.
But he had no idea, when he hit the road,
That without him in her life, she'd let herself go.
Let herself go on a singles cruise,
To Vegas once, then to Honolulu.
Let herself go to New York City:
A week at the Spa; came back knocked-out pretty.
When he said he didn't love her no more, She let herself go.
Your boyfriends comment made me think of this. No, you don't take care of yourself like you used to. You're taking MUCH BETTER care of yourself.
Dump his butt and keep up the good work!

I agree with this 100%

LAST NITE I finally home from the hospital in Dallas after 10 hrs in ER Tues night they kept me & admitted me at 2 am Wed. What they found after several tests the Stabbing pain on my right side where there are no stitches was Atelectasis a lil collapsed lung tissue & /lil pneumonia (gave me antibiotics) No pulmonary embolism or Gallblatter issuses which is great news. I'm gonna be ok.. No pains meds for it at discharge just have to deal wit it & will go away on its own... Ok doky Ouch.

That is so totally me! I have said time and time again that had I ever had a stall that long on a previous diet I would have gone to McDonalds or Taco Bell! My stall started at a week and a half out and lasted almost 3 weeks. I'm glad the scale has started moving again but most of all I am so thankful for this tool!

I am 1 month out and I an not going to lie to you thise first 5 days I was wtf did I get myself into. I was totally regretting it. I was so miserable. I hd the wirst gas pains and felt like no one understood what I was going through. A few days later I weight myslef and I was 18lbs down from my starting weight and then I measured myself I was 2 idnches down on everything. I was so darn happy because with a regular diet it would have taken me 2- 4 months to lose that much.
I had a stall which was the worst because it lasted almost 3 weeks but I did not regret the surgery bevause without this tool I would have been like "efff this im going to McDonald's" I cant do that anymore and I am truly grateful.
What helped me alot was seeing videos of people who have gotten sleeved on youtube. Gave me lots on motivation.
You'll be fine. Good luck.

I took my nook eReader and didn't use it. Happy i didnt bring my lap top or iPod. Bring hair brush. Pajamas will make you feel better. Gas X for the gas. Chap Stick. supportive people. Tooth brush and soap, Shampoo (even though the hospital will probably give them to you).
I really just watched TV, walked to release gas and tried to sleep (cuz every time i started sleeping a doctor or a nurse would walk in). I didnt think of anything else.
OH CELL PHONE CHARGER... i had left mine at home. Good Luck!!!

Im sorry for your sister... but your "scare tatic" should be to warn people to research the Docs they choose... what happened to your sister sounds like Malpratice to me... I hope you got a good attorney.
People that make this choice usualy do TONS of searching for the right Docs, the right Hospitals. It sounds like your sister made a bad choice and is now paying for it... THAT is the message you should be telling people about.

Thank you for sharing. Every surgery comes with risk, this is a risk we choose to take. I've had a family die after a tooth was extracted. This doesn't mean I will never have a tooth pulled, just means I will be more vigilant about my own care.
Im very sorry this happened to your sister.

You are an idiot to post this here. I don't have any problem wih people posting their stories (even ones with bad outcomes), but in no way shape or form is this kind of situation common. The opposite is true. So stop trying to scare people away from LIFE SAVING surgery with your story. It would have been fine if you had told the story and left it at that. But no, you have to punctuate it at the end with your moronic advice and how you would never have weight loss surgery. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx violation of forum rules. People die from having their wisdom teeth out- should they not have surgery to alleviate their pain?
I hate trolls.

I am sorry to hear about your sister. Leaks are just one of the known risks of this surgery, and was a risk I was willing to take given the percentages of complications.
Everyone has their own reasons for having the surgery and each of us has our own risk tolerance. If your risk tolerance is very low, then I agree, don't have any surgeries. But, for myself, my quality of life was going downhill fast. A complication of a leak or otherwise was just another risk of being morbidly obese. I was willing to take the chance to fall into the 97% of patients who don't have these types of complications.
Again, I am sorry to hear about your sister and I will keep her in my thoughts.

I am a year out on my sleeve. This whole time I have been having problems with Hair loss like most weight loss surgery patients, but my mom had seen a commercial for this Shampoo from garnier and told me about it. It is call fall fight. I have been using it for about a month now and i can tell a big difference. It has Biotin in it and you massage it into your scalp, my comb does not have as much hair in it as before. I have been wanting to share this so others can check it out. Hope this is helpful to everyone.

I can understand that it can be confusing but this is the part where you go to your surgeon, nut, and pcp and ask for help. This is one of the reasons why a lot of insurances have strict guidelines in order to approve for surgery, they want people to know what they are getting into and they want to make sure that you'll be prepared afterwards.. It's good to educate yourself, do research and ask questions never be afraid because that's what we are here for.
Step one. Most Important part is Protein and Water.
60-80 grams of protein per day
64 oz of Water per day ( most docs say its okay to count coffee, tea, Protein shakes, etc win the 64 oz)
Protein you can get from food, Protein Bars, or shakes.
Some shakes have too much sugar so keep and eye in that.
Step two. Calories up up up carbs low low low
We need the calories to burn fat and lose the weight depending on what your nut/ doc say and how much you want to lose. I aim for 900-1200 per day. If you don't eat calories your body will go into starvation mode and you will not lose weight.
Carbs like Pasta, rice and bread are not good. They will fill you up and make you bloated because it makes you retain water and not give you nutrition. Some carbs can be good like yams and plantains. Google it.
Step three. Sugar
It's hard to avoid sugar when watching everything else a good way to avoid it is to buy sugar free everything and using Splenda when you want to add sugar to something.
fruit has a lot of sugar so try to limit yourself to at least the fruits with least sugar. Don't know what they are? Thank God for Google!!! Lol
Step four. Measurements
Buy measuring cups. (Tsp-1 cup)
Buy a bottle that holds a large amount of water like: 32 oz---- if you buy a Poland spring water it will say 32 Fl Oz
Step five. Plan ahead
Plan what your going to eat in advance especially if you have to work or are going out.
Grab a calendar or and itinerary and write down what you plan to eat for the whole week for Breakfast lunch and dinner and include Snacks in between each.
This way you you've already calculated the Proteins and calories for each day and you don't have to worry about it.
Step six. Exercise
Choose what makes you happy. I LOVE to dance. Dancing is a workout so I'm starting dance classes in may.
Incorporate walking into your life. Park the car far from stores, go window shopping at the mall, walk the dog or catch up with a friend or loved one while walking.
Step seven. Change it up
Routines are boring. Planning ahead will help change up the recipe everyday.
This includes exercise. Ex: Monday salsa class, Tuesday 30-45 minute walk, Wednesday break, Thursday pop in a workout DVD or look for videos on YouTube , Friday swimming, Saturday break, Sunday boxing.
Step eight. Enjoy
Don't go crazy. (Which you will the first few days) but then it will be natural. Don't deprive yourself but at the same time makes smart decisions.
My bf ordered take out. It smelled so good. Went straight for a peace of broccoli chewed it and divorced it well and swallowed didn't look at the rice at all.
Step nine. Keep track
Track your food intake. there are apps like myfitmesspal.com not to mention FREE where you can login in everything you eat and drink. again, Google Is your best friend. Use it as a tool.
Step ten. The scale is still not your friend
Step away from your scale. Hide it if possible. Weigh yourself only once every 2 weeks or once a month. You have not lost a pound in a few week but have you taken your measurements. Because you are losing inches. Notice your bra strap slipping down your arm and your fave pants .... You need a belt now.
The most essential part of weight loss are the non scale victories. I crossed my legs, went up five flights without getting tired, bumped into my ex. Wore a dress I haven't worn in 3 years, did have a heart track while tying my shoes laces.
Overall have fun and don't think about it too much. I'm not a doctor or a nut. I'm not here to judge you I am here like everyone ewe to get help and answer others. This all came from a sleeved just like you. Good luck and I wish you the best.
Sleepers best food.... What you should have on your grocery list

Always have food with you. I bought an insulated tote. I keep Wisconsin Turkey Bites in a ziplock baggy, 2 Weight Watchers Mozzarella Light cheese sticks, and a container with a piece of pineapple, a chunk of cantaloupe, and about 5 grapes. Every couple of hours I just pop one or two in my mouth. Also if you don't listen to anything else, LEARN TO EAT SLOWLY. Put your food down between bites. Wait 3 minutes between bites. Chew chew chew. Eat slowly.

Hey everyone. I wrote this to help a sleever with some advice and felt that we can all benefit from each others advice ( which is mostly what the site is about) however let's make it happen here right now.
