I was wonder if anybody lost the weight and didn't have to get the extra skin removed with surgery? If so what did you do and how often?

It's been 3 months since my surgery and the experience thus far still amazes me. It must admit it was hard at first. You have to start thinking like a small person. Everything that you use to eat you can hang it up. I find myself looking at food that would have never been enough to fill me up and I am just overwhelmed. Like how did I eat all that before! More water intake now than EVER. I feel great. My energy level is much better. My kids and their friends workout with me and it makes working out so much fun. In the beginning I was sick a lot couldn't eat was barely getting fluids in and I found myself wondering if I made the right decision. If it's hard for you now don't give up in time I does get better. I had a weight stall for about 2 and a half weeks but after that I started back losing weight. I am down 54lbs since surgery. Good luck sleevers. Just wanted to share.

1 month and counting I miss my salad. But I am scared to try it. I think I will give it 2 more months to be on the safe side

Thanks so much cause I am tryna stay hydrated also and I was a big Gatorade drinker pre op but I was scared because I got sick from protein shakes so I backed away from sugar but I am gonna try it and just alternate it with water thank you!

Did you drink Gatorade 2 or regular Gatorade I am scared to drink the regular because of the sugar

So my post op appt was today I was sleeved on May 1, 2013 and I am 25 lbs down!! So I'm excited! Starting my workout plan in the morning all is well feeling pretty good! Good luck everyone on your weight loss journey!

Thanks you for telling me that I had to get a bag of fluid at e.r last night and I went and got some and I feel a lot better I had 2 yesterday and 3 today. So I think I found my life saver!!!

I am glad to hear that! And thanks for telling me ab out the protein powder I didn't know that cause those shakes make me feel awful!

Thanks so much. I've really been having a hard time the past couple of days. Any info would help. Again thanks

Omg I got sleeved 7 days ago and at 1st it was fine now I am starting to feel bad off and on. I think it's because I drink more than eat. Any ideas on what I can eat? The nurse at the office that did my surgery said I can eat anything that can be sucked through a straw as long as I don't have to chew?

That's great! I have my fingers crossed for you! The outcome will be well worth it! Good luck!

I used Dr. Black in Anniston, Al he is with Anniston General Surgery. They made me feel very comfortable and the staff is very nice.

What part of alabama are you from

It took a little over a month b4 I got approved but I have different insurance but good luck I had mine on the 1st of this month. So far so good!

I am 5 days after surgery and I just got sick with the shake I was using. Any ideas?
