  1. I went to the ER last night. I have been getting dizzy spells randomly since surgery and have passed out as well. Yesterday I got up to go to the bathroom and passed out on my way back to bed. They checked my blood pressure, sugar, the whole nine yards and came up with nothing other than to follow up with my PCP. Is anyone else experiencing similar symptoms after surgery?

  6. So last week I turned thirty and celebrated by drinking and eating all week. For the most part I was eating a little more than normal. However the alcohol seems to have speed up my weight gain to six lbs. I pretty much only worked out twice last week. Point I'm trying to make is I thought since I hadnt gained weight I was good. Served as a wake up call that this is a lifestyle change I must make and adhere to otherwise it'd be easy to gain it back. Oh we'll back to the gym and healthy eating =-)

  14. Weight loss has been all post op. I wasn't able to do the liquid diet beforehand since I was an emergency Lapland to sleeve revision. I workout a lot. Three days of the week i do weights and 6 days I do cardio. I eat anything I want for the most part except carbs and try my best to stay away from sugar.
  15. I finally hit my three month mark. Started at 294 and now I'm down to 229! So happy but I got a long ways to go.
  16. If i get a negative opinion from someone who disagrees with the surgery i simply state "i didn't ask for your permission or input on the matter" if they push the issue I tell them to go "F*ck themselves" and let that be the end of it.
  17. The first two months after surgery I was extremely dizzy whenever I got up or moved. I once passed out at the doctors office and had seizures. All my test came back okay. They thought it had to due with dehydration and the pain from recovery. As time goes on I have the dizzy spells less and less. I hit the three month mark next week.
  18. Since surgery I have not had a shake or bar. All my protien is from meats. How bad is that for me. Losing weight quickly without too much muscle loss.
  19. I was sleeves april 15 and down about 55lbs.
  20. I upped my calorie intake and I lost weight. Go figure.
  21. I'm two months out from my revision and not one single regret. I got really sick due to the band that I had for three years. I never felt restriction with the band but with the sleeve you know better than to eat more. lol I lost about 20lbs on the band in three years whereas I've lost 50 so far on the sleeve with no complications so far.

    I am almost two months out since my surgery. Anyone know when I can start drinking (in moderation of course)?
  23. Frustrated that I gained three pounds this week. I workout (cardio) 6 days a week and have anywhere from 600-800 calories a day. At two month mark. Anybody got any ideas how to speed up weight loss. Starting weight was 294. Down to 244. Up three lbs from monday!
