NicoleLpn posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi im 3.5 mths out down around 60lbs since surgery and pretty can eat anything no specific tolerance problems. I eat 4 to 5 times a day get all my Fluid and Protein in. I can est around 6 to 8 oz usually. Just wondering where everyone else at this point is at too. Sw 334 size 26/28 and 3 to 4x Surgery weight 305 Cw 244 size 20/22 xl to 2x [ATTACH]14812[/ATTACH] -
Some days I seem to be able to take in way more then others and I measure mostly everything and stop when I'm full...just wondering what ppl around the same amt of time out of surgery as I am are eating per meal and total calories for a day you are averaging??
-
So tomorrow will be 6 weeks since surgery....I'm right around a total loss of 30 lbs....lost the first 23 in the first two weeks...don't know why but kinda worry some for me that it has ben much slower since week two! But I have to say this has ben the best decision I have ever made and I would definitely do it all over again!
-
So I'm on a regular diet but since I was on puree I have Ben eating an egg with cheese and now on the reg diet same thing but I added ham or Canadian bacon but I'm getting tires of it and its the only thing I can come up with for higher protein! Any ideas? I don't like beans at all!

Post op march sleevers
NicoleLpn replied to gelen's_change's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved March 7 and lost 15lbs week one and 8lbs week two then only 1lb week three and now nothing! It def happens but now I feel like my weight loss is never gonna start again! I'm getting more then 60g of protein a day and more then 60 oz of fluid as well! -
I had an iud as well not once but twice it slipped so everyone that has an iud should have the placement checked very frequently!!!

Surgeon in Connecticut?
NicoleLpn replied to lookingforwardtothin's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I would recommend dr benbraheim and verdura....the only thing is they are out of meriden but I had such a great experience with them! -
I'm in ct and was sleeved in March!
-
You probably just need an abt ointment and oral one and should be good! Better to catch it early!
-
I'm a nurse and it def looks infected I wouod call the Dr.
-
So I know its common around week three to hit this stall but its just discouraging! I actually gained a lb since my weigh in last week any advice would be helpful! I'm getting in my protein around 50-60 g a day and 64+ oz of fluid! I eat three times a day so I'm thinkimg maybe 4 meals will help?

Any spider sleevers out there?
NicoleLpn replied to Jackhamptons's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wouldn't do the belly button its one of the dirtiest areas on the body so it is way more prone to infection. -
Today marks two weeks post op for me and I feel pretty good...I actually have to force myself to sit down bc I'm doing to much Hw:334 Sw:318 Dos:305 Cw:282 Down 23.5 since surgery and since the start of this journey down 36lbs!!!
-
I don't like beans! Lol I'm kinda picky! But I love the pudding but was staying away from it since it had really no nutritional value but if I add protein that would actually be a good idea!
-
I'm so limited on what to eat bc I won't eat anything that is actually pureed so I'm living off of eggs yogurt ricotta and tomato soup basically! Any ideas?!
-
Yes it def is work!! Thank you!!! I am so ready for this new life to continue! Just wish I could skip this puree stage!

Anyone from Connecticut?
NicoleLpn replied to dfdscott's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I have seen different diets from different ppl....mine was all the water or crystal light I wanted and then 3 cups of beef or chicken broth and then 3oz of lean protein 3 times a day. -

I didn't have to do the ketosis diet but I have done it before and my pre op diet was basically the same thing...it was def hard but I followed it to a T bc the reap purpose of it is to shrink your liver which puts you at less risk for your liver to bleed. The dr can clearly tell if you follow it too. My Dr told me bc I followed it so well and everything else that my sleeve was one of the best he's ever done! -

Everyone under general anesthesia gets intubated but I have no memory of it....and no I didn't have any drains but I didn't bleed a lot either...most ppl do have drains. -

Surgery went very well...I was only in the OR for 45 min. The anesthesia made me extremely sick and the gas was awful. The day after was the worst by far! Best thing to to though is get up and walk walk walk! Def felt better when walking just got tired easy! I was done on a Thursday and came home on Saturday. Good luck to everyone!! -
Had my sleeve on 3/7 Soo far having a good recovery and feeling pretty good but yesterdsy my back started feeling tender. Could it be from doing to much maybe? Anyone else experience this?
