Am I Loosing Fast Enough? (Got The Sleeve At 154#)
gingersnap replied to vssupermodel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If insurance would have covered it for me when my LapBand was removed my doc would have gladly have done it at 160 lbs and I wish I could have!!! So preventing the weight from coming back on may be a reason. -

I'm 21/2 weeks post op and I want to lose about 90lbs by my Birthday in January, so a little less than 6months. For those of you who have lost a lot and quickly how many calories a day did you consume, what was your secret for success? My nurse wants me to eat around 1,200 but it seems a little high and I don't think I can lose quick enough. I'm thinking that I need to keep it around 800-900 calories! One year ago today my LapBand slipped and had to be removed and I gained 100lbs in about 9months. Gaining all that weight back crushed my spirt and sent me into depression. Honestly, I'm desperate to get the weight off and restore my life. Too late to worry about stretched skin I already have it. I just want to reclaim my life!

100 lb club in less than 4 months
gingersnap replied to Bbell's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved Aug 20th so 2.5 weeks out and I'm only down 12lbs from surgery. My nurse wants me to eat 1200 cal and that seems like a lot to reach my goal of 100 pounds in 6months. So what was the magic number /weight loss recipe for you to succeed? -
You Don't Have To Tell Ppl You're Having Surgery!
gingersnap replied to Eyemallrt's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been very private about my surgery but my darn husband decides he needs to share it with everyone at his work. It's not so such much that he has told them more than he has taken that control of who knows away from me. He has told atleast 4 people at work, now they will likely tell their partners and then 4 more people will know. Who knows who they may tell. I was really hoping to keep this nice and quiet with just my family and a couple of my good friends who have also struggled with weight and/or have had WLS. I just wish he didn't feel the need to share why he is out of the office. But at this point it is what it is!!! -

When Did You Move From All Clear To Full Liquid?
gingersnap replied to gingersnap's topic in Food and Nutrition
WOW....can't believe how many of you started so soon on full liquids. I'm suppose to wait another two days until I start on full liquids but I broke down today and had a Protein shake. I had half of it in one sitting and the rest later. On Clear Liquids I'm getting in about 200-300 calories and hardly any protein. My thought is that if I can tolerate it well why not advance slowly into full liquids. I'll wait another couple of days before do more than Protein drinks. But come Wednesday I'm hitting some yummy soup!!! -

I'm one week post op today and I'm so tired of clears and I can't seem to tolerate isopure to get in my protein. I'm ready for some protein shakes. Just curious as to when everyone else made the switch from Strict Clear to Full Liquids?

I was told that when you lose weight that you can become very fertile and right after surgery, the first year is a bad time to conceive.

Pre-Op Liquid Diet How Much Did You Loose?
gingersnap replied to gingersnap's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! I think there are better protein shakes out there too but they have me drinking 5 slimfast shakes a day which makes my protein total! But I'll get to choose my shakes after surgery. -

Emeroldzz: How would you describe the recovery as compared to the Lap Band recovery? I'm really hoping to be on my feet soon after because I have two small children. -
