  1. I need to loose a lot of weight however I'm trying to set small goals so I don't get upset. I'm having the VSG may 1st. How much have you lost in a year? When you hit a plateau what do you do? Any info would be great thanks
  2. How much have you lost? I am down 73 lbs!!! I can't believe it I've tried so many diets and barely lost weight before. I am very happy and have had no complications :-)

    I want a soda

    Diet soda does bubble in your throat at first. Or of u drink it to fast u will puke. I'm bad and drink one small one a day. I hate coffee and everything else and I don't sleep good and have a daycare. So I need the caffeine.
  4. Yes it is. It's because your getting use to food again and your body can't handle certain foods anymore. That's what happened to me anyway. I stay away from speghetti noodles and hamburger meat it makes me sick. If I eat to fast I will also get sick.
  5. You look great!!! I'm down 73 in 4 1/2 mths

    Not losing :(

    I'm at week 5 and I've stayed the same for a week no gain or loss. As long as I'm not gaining I'm not mad. I've lost 33 lbs so far plus I've been walking so maybe that's why idk .

    May sleevers! How much have you lost so far?

    May 1st -33 lbs including pre op which was -7 lbs.
  15. I was always a little over weight then I became anorexic in high school and got really sick my bones in my spine started deteriorating I was not taking vitamins either. Doctors told me I needed to start eating so I did but not much the. I got pregnant and gained 90lbs I ate 3 meals a day but blew up I tried every diet and exercise I would loose 20-30 lbs then gain it back then I had another kid next thing I know I am 5'4 and weighed 325lbs!!! After 7 years I decided I could not live like that any longer my doctor recommended me for weight loss surgery and I chose the sleeve. Anyways I'm 4 weeks post op and I've lost 33lbs :) the sleeve has been around for years it's part of the duel Dina switch. They use to use a bigger sleeve but now it's smaller docs realized people could loose weight with just the sleeve! My doc and the pulmonary doc both told me this would add years to my life as heart problems and diabetes run in my family. So I don't believe that it cuts off 18 years of your life.

  17. I was sleeved on may 1st 2013 and I've lost 33lbs so far however I've been having restless leg syndrome at night. Does anyone else have this problem??
  18. Wow you look awesome I hope to loose140lbs I already lost 30!!
  19. I was sleeved may 1st and its been a rough road. I didn't like any protein shakes I tried a bunch and have plain protein powder added it to cream soup and choked it down. Now I'm on puréed so I try to eat tuna eggs and cottage cheese and drink sugar free carnation breakfast. I am hoping to come across a protein shake that I like. I can only eat 3-4 bites at a time then am full for hrs. I did miss food at first and was miserable but now I'm use to it. I don't even crave chocolate for some reason I am craving a big fat turkey sub lol I'm nervous to eat regular food again Idk how my stomach will handle it. In the beginning I the puréed stage and even now every now and then I puke. I don't regret it though I've lost 30 lbs and look forward to keep loosing I also started walking I really want this weight off and feel good being 30 lbs lighter!!

    I WANT REAL FOOD!

    Liquid is a tough stage. I'm on puréed and I can have cottage cheese,tuna fish, chicken salad, mashed potatoes. Soups with soft veggies, and scrambled eggs.. It's a lot better than the liquid stage. I have ate too fast and got sick so it's important to remember to eat slow and space it out.
  21. I had my surgery in upstate NY and I didn't have a drain. Maybe during the surgery I did but never after.
  22. Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone of you are still sore? I am on the side where they took the stomach out. I hope the pain goes away soon.also what are you eating? I have 2 sugar free puddings a day 2 protein shakes and sometimes broth or cream soup and a sugar free Popsicle and I sip water but have to have ice in it for some reason.
  23. I started at 325 before 9 day liquid diet I lost 7 lbs then had surgery may 1st and in two weeks lost 18lbs. I feel great. I just started on puréed and the first I ate was tuna fish I had 3 bites then felt sick but the next day I was able to eat cottage cheese and in the evening a scrambled egg. I have to eat slow and stop as soon as I'm full. Which is usually a couple bites.
