Sfoytraveler I also was sleeved by the always late Dr. Cirangle on 11/29. I also live in east bay . I gave nothing but great things to say about the entire experience including all the after care that I have gotten. Had a med problem called and situation was resolved in 3 hours.

Ditto. I love Sparkpeople. Especially exercise tracker.

I was always the girl who was hot. Last winter I kept on saying please turn down the heat it is to hot and stuffy in here. Boy am I singing a different tune this winter . I am 5 weeks post op and have never worn so many cloths in my life. I told everyone not to get me cloths for X mas but I was really excited to get hats and gloves because I did not own any of them. All I can say on this subject is thank god for Hoodies they are my saving grace. I am hoping that as i get to goal weight this will level out and I will peal off the layers and find my new thin body under all these layers.

I use sparkpeople.com really like because it incorporates exercise into it. Hope that helps

Hi Deedle Dee, I was sleeved 11/30. Right after surgery my sugar went a little crazy. Now 4 weeks later my blood sugar are testing normal with no meds. Hope that helps....

Congrats on the new sleeve....I found that after being totally addicted to all things cold pre surgery that room temp or slightly hot water goes down easier post surgery.Also walking helped me drink also ...Three weeks out I can drink 32oz in about 2 hours.

I have found that by adding the all Whey it cuts the sweetness dramatically and adds 18 grams of protein .

Hi Becca, I just saw my doctor on Thursday and he said I can go back to gym in 2 more weeks. so 1 month total. He suggested going light on the core stuff for a couple of weeks. He suggested cardio and light weights building back up ...also " if it hurts in a bad way Stop" hope that helps......

I was told by my doctor I could add any and all caffeine back in coffee or black tea after I could drink 64oz. of water consecutively after 14 days . His major concern is that caffeine can cause dehydration in some people . I hope that helps .

I am 2 weeks post op and I get 80 grams of Protein a day. After being very sick the first week my partner who likes to ticker figured out how to get me maximum protein in 8 ounces. Recipe is 1 scoop nectar chocolate Truffle 1 scoop All whey Whey !/2 Cup vanilla Soy 1/2 Cup Water Blend It is good Hot or Cold Makes 8 OZ it has 44 grams of protein so 2 a day it has 120 calories .

My surgeon says two weeks liquids. You can have Popsicles and Jello. I hate Jello so that was off the table. No pudding no cream of wheat I in fact would kill for some of these. I am think I am craving texture more then anything. I will admit that I had 1/4 teasspoon of mashed potatos last night. No proplems but to be honest I let it dissolve in my mouth then had to have water to get it off my tongue. I am afraid of complications so now I will wait til tomorrow to have yogurt the first thing I am allowed on mushes.

I just need to say this . I really really want to chew something. Today is day 10 post surgery. I have 4 more days of liquids I am going crazy . Any suggestions ?

I also had Surgery 11/30 and have left side pain. It seems the more I walk the better it is . Since surgery I have lost 13 pounds . I think it has alot to do with how much you have to loss to start with . My main post op problems have been migraine headache and gas pains . I have lost 13 pounds since surgery. It took me 6 months to loss 14 pounds pre-op and I loss 13 in 8 days boy am I loving my sleeve.
