    Before And After Pic

    finallysleeved replied to mom23's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories

    I was sleeved on July 24th and Im down 47 pounds, Its is going so fast, I want to lose about 95 all together and I feel better, my stomach looks smaller but my face looks pretty much the same, I guess it comes off when and where it wants to come off. I have a dress belt I had in the Marine Corps and OMG is is small, that was 20 years ago when I could wear it, And I plan on it fitting again. I love the new life I have and can never thank my Dr Samuel Bledsoe in Alexandria Louisiana enough.

    Get your mind trained that the fatty foods make you fat, and that no matter how bad you want it, you cannot have it. you must be dedicated to entire lifestyle change. im three weeks out and loving every minute. the gas in your abdomen after surgery will be like pain you've never had, other than that it is clear sailing!!! good luck...

    Is it just me, or is there anyone out there who's spouse is literally upset over you getting the sleeve and losing so much weight so fast? she is following my diet and exercising as well, but she is very down and hurting because my weight is falling very quickly and not having to do anything, to add to her insult im not eating hardly anything at all, she is tired and starving and barely losing weight. Is this just an isolated issue????

    by the way I just fixed a big protein shake anybody want to share it with me?
  12. finallysleeved
    same here, saw the nutrition people two times, the psych Dr, had the scope in my stoamch, two nights of sleep study one with and one without the mask, three DR visits then pre op, it is a lot to do, the after the surgery I got the bill and it was over 44 thousand dollars total. I paid 150 to the surgeon and 150 to the hospital.

    are you in Louisiana? none of my family wanted me to have the surgery because of how major it is, But but moving forward, I learned that I had Hpylory in my stomach, then learned i had sleep apnea and then during the sleeve surgery my surgeon discovered a hyatal hernia. so then my family changed their minds. I am 3 weeks out and have lost almost 40 pounds and only have like 35 more to get my goal weight, getting the food down is a new challeng, a few bites and im way full. good luck.
  14. finallysleeved
    My primary refused to write me a letter even being 90 pounds overweight, but I found out i had sleep apnea but continued to see the primary and after the third month he said ok, go have the surgery and the surgeons office got the primary DR;s notes and it was a done deal. My weight stayed pretty much the same over three months, the best way is to see your primary Dr, and also see your surgeon and explain to him that your having to wait the three months and then you will be fine assuming your BMI is high enough.
  15. finallysleeved
    I have federal BCBS and I had either to get my DR to write a letter saying yes he is fat and needs the surgery, which he refused to do, or wait three months in a row visiting him each month to weigh and prove that my diet and exercise was not working. after the three months I got the sleeve, good luck changing their minds.

    Gym Or Bike

    finallysleeved replied to CoolBreeze's topic in Fitness & Exercise

    Ok i have the Correct answer here. The BIKE. because a giant percent of people that pay gym membership dues go hard at first then stop going all together. As for the bike, it would be yours forever. on those nice days go for a ride, in the evening when the sun is going down. when you need to get away and cruise the neighborhood. the gym is nice, we have a fabulous gym where i work and out of 4 years here i have worked out in it maybe 5 times, treadmill only. the bike is the best route.

    hello my name is Jason and Im an alchoholic, no wait. wrong web site, yes I lust for the baconader at wendy and a giant Dr Pepper and snickers and fried fish and popcorn ect. but PEOPLE that is the food that made our jea ns tight and our t shirts tight and underwear tight and I can only speak for myself, but I refuse to go back to that.
  20. finallysleeved

    I am now 3 weeks post op and losing the weight very quickly and have no desire to eat but do crave the fluids, I do get in some fruit mashed up and have tried some other foods in a careful manner, but my question is, the protein shakes is getting unbearable and is that why I feel weak and have zero energy? I am staying hydrated and take mulit vitamins and work in a federal prison so I have lots of walking and activity during the day. Any thoughts???

  21. finallysleeved
    You have to think back when you decided to have the sleeve surgery and how dedicated you were to get healthy. And also If you start eating unhealthy and stretch your stomach back out, it will all be wasted time and effort and money. play that ROCKY music in your head and charge forward eating right and doing what your body needs and your family and friends around you. Good Luck, I am almost three weeks out and I see the candy bars my kids get and the tasty food, then I remember THAT food is what got me to being fat and overweight and I absulutely REFUSE to go back to that. Drink your powerade zero and water, dry toast and such.
  22. finallysleeved
    Wish i would have done this years ago. I feel great only two weeks post op lost about 25 and only 60 more to go. You will love the new life after surgery.
  23. finallysleeved

    I know there are no Dr's in here, but Im curious. I am like 17 days post op, and wondering if liquids will stretch the stomach back out. I am horrified about doing that and want to avoid it, but i am enjoying the liquids. any ideas????
