October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves
brandy79 replied to SkinnyMinnie2Be's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Me too! I always feel hungry. And I feel like I need to stuff myself so it will last awhile. I have to really watch myself. -

I was sleeved 10/22/12. I started at 302. Now at 188. I stall every once in awhile but I work out almost every day and keep my calories under 1200. It seems to help. -

My brain still has not adjusted to the quantity that I can eat. -

Original BMI 46, current 35! Woohoo! Surgery date Oct 22. -
I had to meet with my primary doctor one time a month for 3 months, meet with a nutritionist 3 times, and meet with a psychologist. Overall not too bad. I just hated waiting. Your doctor will be able to help you navigate it all though. As for my doctor, I have his cell phone number! How many doctors give that out?

Amber, I have United Healthcare. I had to go through 3 months of meeting their criteria but they paid for 80%. I went to Dr. Collier in Conroe. He is AWESOME! And they will walk you through the insurance nightmare.

I have been soooo bad the last couple of weeks. Eating fast food and eating a lot. Still not as bad as I used to be though. So my new year's resolution is to refocus and remember everything I went through to get here. -

I have found that I am much pickier with the food that I eat now. I can't tell you how much food I throw away now because it is mediocre. Only so much room now, want to make sure I like what I put in. -

Any suggestions for high calorie healthy snacks? The doctor is really after me to get more calories in. -

I take comfort in knowing I am not the only one. I can eat anything. If I sit down and eat then I eat smaller amounts but I can also graze all day long too. I am not normally a grazer so this makes nervous. I am just trying to make smart decisions but it has not been working the last couple of days. -

Yea it was great. I ate a small piece of turkey breast, tablespoon of stuffing, a devilled egg and about 2 tablespoons of pumpkin custard only because my mom made it for me and I felt guilty. Oh yea, about 45 lbs down since Oct 1st! -

Good news! I fit into my "motivation" dress. It still show bulges in places I don't want it to, but IT FITS!
