Does Anyone Know The Limit On Carbs?
mrsdaugherty replied to mrsdaugherty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been working out more and eating about the same calories for the past month with very little loss. I even switched 2 meals a day with a shake. It feels wrong but I am going to try it. I am going to up my calories. I thought I was eating to many carbs. I have lost 60 and still need to loose at least 30. Stalls are the worst!! Lol -
Does Anyone Know The Limit On Carbs?
mrsdaugherty replied to mrsdaugherty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you! I am going to up my calories. I am tired a lot. I take my vitamins, biotin, and B12 each day. I was self pay so I don't have a Nut. I just figured the less calories and carbs the more weight I would loose. Thanks for your help. -
Good luck!!

Help! 3 Mo Out And Still Can't Get Anything Down But Thin Liguid
mrsdaugherty replied to CHERCOONS's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor who did my surgery had talked about helping others who had moves to his area from other states. Maybe you could call a doctor close to you who performs the sleeve. They may be able to give you advice over the phone. -
My Hair Is Falling Off Help!
mrsdaugherty replied to marie110's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Also are you taking Biotin? A lot of people do that. I found some small soft gels at Wal Mart 5000 mcg and I take 2 a day. I'm loosing hair but not to bad and I'm at 5 months. Good luck!! -
My Imagination+Jitters?
mrsdaugherty replied to jennifer4444's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I know how you feel. I got so scared right before my surgery date. I looked every where for complications and problems people had. Even googled people who have gained weight back after surgery. I was so worried! One thing I googled that made me feel better was my doctor. I searched for hours to find people he may have made mistakes on. I felt totally comfortable with my doctor the morning I had surgery. I have 3 kids who depend on me and I felt scared to take the chance. I am 5 months post op and so glad I did it. I have lost 70 pounds so far. I track everything I eat on my fitness pal and exercise at least 4 times a week. I think having the jitters are normal. Just know what to expect and make sure you trust your doctor. Good luck!! Complications do happen but not near as much as perfect successful surgeries! -

Oh It Was So Fun While It Lasted!
mrsdaugherty replied to Jill279's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved May 18th and am also 5 months out. I have had the exact same thing happen to me! I went from 247 to 189 pretty fast. I have now slowed to 1-2 pounds a week. I have even added a hour or exercise 4-5 times a week. I am not complaining but it is a little aggravating. I just don't want to stop loosing. I have been on a stall for about 3 weeks. Good luck!! -

I agree on the tracking food part. It has helped me so much!! I learned about my fitness pal app. From here and I would be lost without it! Good luck! -

Damned If I Do Damned If I Don't.
mrsdaugherty replied to Imjustmee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I mix both together. My 10 year old son is a diabetic and it took us a LOT of times of trying to come up with this. And after my surgery we all just switched to the no sugar tea. Lol Oh and I double checked the tea jug and it is a gallon container. So we use 1/2 cup Truvia AND 5 equal packets for the whole gallon. It's kinda weird but my family loves it!! -
Damned If I Do Damned If I Don't.
mrsdaugherty replied to Imjustmee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love sweet tea too! But after surgery I changed from sugar to truvia. I actually use a half of cup of the Truvia (from the bigger baking bag) and 6 packets of equal. And I add this to my gallon jug. It is the closest to sweet tea as I have got! Good luck! I also like the mio too! -

5 Months, 60 Pounds Down, Onederland! (With Pic)
mrsdaugherty replied to New1's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Your doing awesome!! I am not loosing super fast but am proud with my weight loss too! I can definatly see the difference in your pictures! Congrats!! -
Hi, It has been 3 months (12 weeks) today since surgery. May 18th was my day!! I am 32 and 5 ft 3 in. My starting weight was 246. As of Today I have lost 41 pounds and am halfway to goal. I went from size 18 jeans to 14. This has been the best decision of my life!! I have had a few stalls but never lasting over a 2 weeks. I eat at least 70-90 grams of protein each day. If I don't get enough protein I feel real hungry all day. I usually eat 600-800 calories each day. I have taken vitamins and extra biotin every day since surgery. But I still have had some hair loss that started around 2 months. It is not noticeable and I think it may be slowing. My favorite protein supplement is Unjury. I don't eat red meat or pork anymore. If you have any questions that I didn't answer please ask! I will update again when I get closer to goal.

Pain, Left Side :(
mrsdaugherty replied to lessofmeismore's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For me it took the longest time for my left side to stop hurting. Just when I thought it was better I would feel it again. It felt like it was bottom rib at times. I am 7 weeks post op and it just stopped maybe a week or so ago. My doctor said that is the area they do the most work from and take your stomach out from. So I would call and ask the doctor. I hope it gets better soon! -
May Sleevers How Much Have You Lost So Far?
mrsdaugherty replied to Preacher's Wife's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
May 19th and I am down 29 pounds!! And I feel great!!! -
The day of surgery I wanted Mexican food So bad!!! Its all I thought about. Just 1 bite!! Lol But after a few weeks the cravings did ease up. And I too would rather have a pickle that anything!! I am 5 weeks out and decided to peel a pickle and eat a few bites 2 days ago. What a mistake!!! My stomach bloated real fast and the pickle went right through me! I wonder when we can have pickles again?!?

No More Complaining
mrsdaugherty replied to pinkiguana's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When was your sleeve date? I had mine 5/18 and lost 11 pounds the first 4 days but nothing since then. I am getting so discouraged! :-) -
I agree with all the others, it is totally normal. I was real nervous until the morning of surgery. I just got super happy and excited! Everything went so perfect and it was all over real fast. I have a 8 and 9 year old one in which is a type 1 diabetic. So I know how you feel! Good luck and you will do great!!
