My surgeon removed 85% leaving a 60 cc pouch.

Wow....awesome progress!

Not a pleasant subject but is anyone else having this issue. I am 6 weeks out and having this issue. Anything I can change with my food to help this? Sugestions welcome...

I have collar bones again and my shoulders don't look like I am a football player anymore. The main thing is that my feet, ankles, knees and back don't hurt after a days work anymore. Love it!

I am six weeks postop.....the pain swallowing went to a weird feeling when swallowing and now it is completely gone. Good luck

By one week post op you will be feeling so much better.

Thank you....I will pick some up.

I was sleeved 2/10. I really didn't get hungry for the first few weeks. Now...I eat two oz of cream of wheat before I go to work. Around 11:30 or 12 I do feel hungry but it is never as stong as before. I can always pop a little protein in (a few bites of cheese, protein bar etc) and be fine till lunch around 1pm. You fill up pretty quick...it really is differant. Good luck

First of all....don't get down on yourself. Everyones body is differant and people tolerate (or don't) differant things and lose wt at differant rates. I have had a few bouts with fatigue and find that it is directly related to my protein and fluid intake. Keep trying assorted types of protein. What I like prior to surgery I did not after and now use isopure (clear liquids protein drink with 40 gm of protein, 160 calories, 16oz) i get fluid and protein in at the same time. I have also just started using pure protein bars and added some dry roasted edamane. Good luck and keep trying!

I used mine to pay for my program fee....first step class and follow up bod pod tests. It was ok'd. Alot of times you have to submit the payment and get reimbursed from your fsa.

Great. I tried a pc of frend toast yesterday when we went out of breakfast. Cut off the crust and put a little butter on it....tasted wonderful and didn't have any issues with it.

Thats great. I had surgery 1/10 and have lost 28#. Just a few pounds away from the one hundreds!!!! I have not been doing regualr workouts other than work. Will get going soon!!!

Congrats!!! Love the picture~ We all have our own personal triumphs..you reached yours! Mine is to sit in a plane without squishing myself into the seat and crouding my seat mates. I fly next week...can't wait!

You'll feel better soon. My surgery was 1/10...was weak and tired the first two weeks but started getting stronger after that. i returned to work 2/8 and am actually tolerating it well....good stamina. I was worried about returning to work and getting tired...I am a hospital nurse and am on my feet most of the day. One week in....all is good. Good luck!

That happened to me around the 210 mark...I actually increased my calaries a little...kept with my protein and fluid intake steady and it started to drop again. I am now 203 this morning and looking forward to that one on the scale. Good luck!

I was just over 37 BMI and am 5'6. I had my sleeve 1/10/2013. I too could loose 45 to fifty pounds on the lo carb diet and DID....several times only to put it back on and more. I decided to have this proceedure....I wanted long term weight loss. I have hi b/p and hi cholesterol so my insurance did pay for this. The sleeve is only a tool in my wt loss journey....I have to do the rest! Good luck

Yogart is good....greek yogart has a good amount of protein in it so if that work stick to that till you feel better. Sip your fluids very frequently to try to get the in. Good luck!

No I'm sorry I have not heard of that. Just clear liquids for 5 days pre op for me. Good luck!

I am sorry ....I threw away my XL cause they were quite worn....just purchased a size large and love they way they fit.

We have a great marriage and I have still heard my husband (who has been very supportive of my decision) make comments like....I hope you won't find someone new after you loose all your weight) This is so UNLIKE him.....I just laugh it of and reassure him. I am four weeks post op and he has actually been dieting along with me so he can get healthier too.....he only needs to loose about 30# and has already lost 10 of it. Sex is easier for me too....thats definately a plus.

Congrats!! You must be sooo happy!

Well...it IS done now so whatever the reasons we will make the best of our tool that we have in our wt. loss journey. I feel good now but still know that I have the demons inside....I have actually bought a bag of chocolate candy twice ....eaten a few pc. and thru it away. So made at myself for those weak moments. I know it is an issue that I have to work thru. Good luck with yours...we WILL succeed!

So happy for you!!! I am four 1/2 weeks out now and finally got to eat real food today. I am only 7 pounds from the one-derworld. Keep up the good work

I was told to get in between 600-800 calaries a day. Honestly it was hard to reach 450 most days while on liquids post op. I am four weeks out and try to keep around 600 to 700. Good luck

Congrats!
