I did the same thing today! Fun isn't it?

I was sleeved July 18th and have lost 65 lbs.

I was sleeved 7/18 and I have lost 65 lbs so far.

Interesting information. I just had my 3 month labs done and my b12 was high and my b1 was dangerously low. I had to get a shot for the b1.

I also have UHC and was approved in 3 days.

Good luck!

Have you attended any of the support groups in the Bellingham office?

I found out pre-op as well that I have that as well but I was still able to be sleeved. I just have to have an endoscopy every couple of years.

I tried salads about 7 weeks out and I have tolerated them just fine. Made me very happy!

Fingers crossed for you! I was approved by UHC within 3 days.

I also had surgery at Puget Sound Surgical with Dr.Billing. I'm 9 weeks out and have had no issues. The staff there is wonderful!

How are you doing with raw veggies? I haven't tried any yet. I just started eating lettuce and I am so happy my tummy accepts it.

My large one is almost healed. Last time I saw the dr he told me I could use neosporin and that really helped it heal alot faster.

Hi! I was sleeved on 7/18 and have lost 52 lb so far. I am not able to eat much at all but I don't really have any cravings either. No regrets even on those "bad" days. I know this was the best decision for me.

My tummy still hurts from coughing so much. I have bronchitis and my doctor gave me some codeine cough syrup. It didn't work as well as it has in the past but I found that it worked a little better if I took it after I ate something.

Im trying to find a remedy as well. Nyquil isn't doing anything for me and neither is codeine cough syrup. if I get some answers I'll let you know. Hope you feel better soon.

I was sleeved on the 18th and lost 7 the first week but stalled for the next 2 weeks. Finally started losing again in the last few days. Down a total of 30 total including 1 week pre op diet. I'm not complaining.

I was told by my nutritionist this week that I need to try for 90g. It's not easy. I'm also about 2 1/2 weeks out.

I saw a picture of mine at my 1 week post op visit. It reminded me of a piece of raw meat lol. I saw a bunch of pictures that were taken during my surgery. Not something i'd care to see again.

Hi All, I was sleeved on the 18th and I can honestly say today is the first day that I find myself struggling. I want to eat lol. I want to eat more than I can. I won't but I want to. Feeling a little bummed... What to you do when you are having a tough day? What helps you get past it?

Wow. That was a little harsh. It was a harmless question she asked. Yes, I follow my NUT plan but I come here daily to get advice or ideas from people here who are actually going through this.

That's great! Congrats!

Today is day 9 for me and I am able to start purees.
