I'm 8 weeks out, I've basically lost 3lbs in 3 weeks, am I doing ok ya think?... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App

After you have the sleeve, what would cause you to not like certain things you used to like before. I'm starting my 8th week out and there are a couple things I loved before hand but now..yeah, not so much. Does this type of surgery mess with your taste buds too?

We were sleeved a day apart, I was July 25th. That's my problem, I either get all my protein and not my fluids or visa versa...frustrating sometimes. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App I'm down approximately 30lbs. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App

I'm 7 weeks out. First is in June, a month before surgery, second is about 3 weeks ago. Down approximately 30lbs so far. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App

Rest. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App

Nope, I'm right at 7 weeks out. We're truckers and fueled at a loves truck stop about 2 weeks ago and I walked passed the hot dogs..not to be gross, but I threw up a Lil in my mouth. It was the most disgusting smell now. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat another one. And Water..see, before surgery I drank at least a gal of plain water a day, now...I HAVE to have flavor in it, can not drink it pain anymore. Good luck and we'll get though this, slowly but surely.

I agree, I've been wanting/needing the surgery for a few years, hubby is 5'5" about a buck 140. He just didn't want me to go under the knife as he put it. But this year things changed, my last visit to my pcp, I just had my by annual bloodwork done and he basically said I needed to get all my numbers down because he was afraid of me having a heart attack or stroke. I DID NOT tell hubby this until after the surgery. He was upset but us know, it's over and done with now and he knows I'm happier and couldn't be prouder of me. I'm 7 weeks out and just a hint over 30lbs down. Before, around June and after about 3 weeks ago. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App

I was told that our protein shakes were not to be part of our daily fluid intake. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App

You need to learn more at orientation. It's not a diet - both surgeries require a lifestyle change. You can fail or succeed at either. If it were the same as any other diet - insurance wouldn't be paying thousands to have it done. That's a joke, my insurance paid nothing for my sleeve. I paid out of pocket. Almost 12k.

This is a 30lb difference. Sleeved July 25th 2016. Best decision I've ever made. Even if it was self pay..lol
