I just got my tentative surgery date with dr chopra..its 6/6/13..I cant believe it im freaking out I cant believe it!!pre op testing tomorrow

No problems and I left my diabetes at the hospital.

Congratulations!!! She is beautiful!! So very happy you are both doing well!

I am on the puréed stage. Ate mushy egg salad yesterday & some mashed (not quite puréed) flaky fish tonight. Only able to eat small amounts -which is good

Im good able to sleep better..n walking alot..able to keep protien shakes down good,water is still a lil hard but ive been doing chicken broths and sugar free ice pops..

I'm 21, sleeved 2-28-13
SW- 326
CW- 247
GW- 170 but won't stop there
Dropped 8 sizes - I was going out of a 26 in pants, now can fit in 18s
Shirt sizes - was a 4x
Now XL
I currently get in anywhere from 600-900 calories a day. Keep all my days low carb. 100+ oz of Water daily. I have a Powerade zero daily. Eat 3 meals and snack a day (usually a fruit or veggie). So far the only food I've had trouble digesting was peas. Before surgery, I lived off of pickles & used mayo with everything - I no longer like those things. Another dislike is ground meat & pork. I mostly eat a lot of chicken, seafood, tuna, canned chicken, steak. Just recently got cleared for salad and have been loving every minute of that. I exercise on a treadmill, do squats daily. Gonna start doing crunches. I've also became obsessed with my collar bone ever since I've been reunited with it after surgery lol (I can finally see it again) - I carry most of my weight in my mid section - I'll be happy to see it go!
Good luck!

I will be 2 weeks out on Thursday n so far lost 18 lbs!! Super excited offical weight in is later today at the doctors off

I added a lil Tomato to the avocado before mixing the egss with a lil mayo.. I put some of the avocado mix away for later n mixed a lil with the eggs ..im in heaven

Continue on your merry way. My nut told me to increase my cal to 1200 at 5 months out. Since I have done that I am not losing hardly at all. I was doing just fine at 800-1000 cal. Now am trying to go back to 800-1000 and it is not easy.

I took 1 whole avocado cut up
A lil milk (skim)
Salt and pepper
3 boiled eggs
Put all in blender..OMG delicious!! Doesn't look good..but put its healthly n a great Breakfast..have enough for the whole week

I will definitely be trying this next week ... SOUNDS DELISH !

Tomorrow's my day too - can't wait!

Hi! I was sleeved on June 6th. I went back to work today and definitely over did it. I have a sharp pain on my right side. Hopefully a good night sleep will fix it. Being at work keeps my mind off of the fact that I'm still on clear liquids until Friday : (

Im 11 days post op n lost 18 lbs..dont worry..I didnt have a pre op diet but did something on my own..its after that really matters ..good luck

Congratulations!!! That's awesome. I'm down 17 and am finally starting to feel better. How about you?? PS. I live in Westchester. Is that close enough to NYC???

I know thats why I said its recommended alot of woman who have problems with mirena is because they havent had a child..a friend of mine who just listens to what ever her doc says he prescribed some med n didnt tell her that it could cause birth defects n she didnt research it before thating it n her son was born with a nuro tub defect..it was very sad..all I was trying to say doctors arent prefect they are human n its our body n we need to research stuff instead of just jumping on it..

I keep having dreams that I eat a handful of something and then realize I am in the liquids stage of the diet...then I wake up all upset. I am 1 week post op and today was making my husband some cucumber salad. I always taste each end of the cucumber for bitterness before I slice it into the salad. So today, out of habit, I just popped a piece of cucumber into my mouth to taste and started chewing it...thankfully I realized before I swallowed it what I was doing. I couldn't believe I almost ate it without even thinking...old habits die hard...but sooo glad I caught myself

Its not so much the manufacturer who didn't tell you about slipping and erosion it was your surgeon. .I was told that n did research n knew if I was gonna have surgery it was going to be once..the band in a lot of surgeons veiw is for people who only need to loss a low amount of weight..I had the sleeve..I would fight with you insurance n maybe point out that your 1st bariactric clinic didnt tell you about all the negatives of the band..

I didnt use anything I brought just my phone. All I could do was sleep..lol

I have to be at the hosoutal at 6:45 am tomorrow..im super nervous n excited
