My

Hi guys I graduated from Kaiser options Downy with Ms Barberi in April this year... I just had surgery 6-26-13 They refer downy patients to Harbor City Kaiser facility... I was treated very well through Harbor City If you have any questions send me a pm I am open minded and dont mind sharing my story with you guys I am looking for people who wanna exercise and go to support group at kaiser downey on Fridays too We all need a supportive network... I know 3 or 4 other ladies who graduated kaiser options like I did...Im trying to convince them to go with me to support... We must surround ourselves with people just like us on the SLEEVED side.. Have a great night!

of condoms. I have never been on the pill in my life. She suggested depo shot, patch or yaz....she doesnt want me to get pregnant while I lose weight and wants me to get to 200 pounds or lower before we can consider getting pregnant. I am 38 year old , married woman with NO kids...I guess I gotta wait... --What bcp pills make me gain weight? What bcp are you on now? --Dr said condroms break and sometimes you just throw caution to the wind and NOT wear a condom and oops babies are made! lol Plus losing weight and feeling sexy again makes your libido go crazy! lol

yes I eat pickles.. I make a hamburger my style 4 oz patty and i put mustard ketchup and pickles on it! MMMMM of course, I chew it up really well...its so tasty!

My a1c during my medical clearance was 9.2--I totally thought the dr was not gona do the surgery for me... He put me on a strict 3 Protein shakes a day diet and my sugars were IN THE 250'S TO 300'S when I get hungry my sugars skyrocket!! I had a great surgery and no complications no nausea no vomiting and my incisions healed well... my sugars are now in the 100's and Im on metformin 500 mg 2 x a day instead of 2000 mg of metfromin, insulin NPH 15 units a day and glipizide 5mg 2x a day Im wearing 2x shirts and size 20 pants...Im doing well...thank god!

Great to hear you ae doing so well! Yay!

Yup it happens to me when I eat beef...its too heavy for me...and also if i eat to fast

Im at 245 pounds right now and I weening off my diabetes meds right now...I am 38 years old...My dr wants me to be at 200 lbs or less before I try to get pregnant. I do have pcos and I am gettin' old as we speak! I have normal regular periods post op...Dr wants me to get on the pill and NOT use condoms because condoms break...but hey If I lose 40 more pounds by the end of the year...I will start to try to get pregnant in jan/feb... I have pcos too and my weight is coming off slowly...I eat about 800 calories a day...Dr said to increase calories to 1200 a day... --I have NO kids at all and have never been pregnant....I hope we all can have healthy and happy babies post op... I send you all blessings and baby dust! Lets all keep each other in mind and share our experiences on this forum! It's a big comfort for me to see other sleevers go through the same thought process/experiences as I am... Take care! Hugs to you all!

I'm huligoo add me guys!

During pre-op I drank Premier Protein shakes and NOW I am sick of them! The smell of them gross me out! I am on the pureed stage of food...ive been eating tuna fish, eggs, greek yogurt, Beans, string cheese, chicken breast, broccoli (steamed) I also feel super tired and wasted when I eat only protein all day...when I have more complex carbs I feel better... Cottage cheese and milk make me feel sick... I'd rather eat 'real' food than fill up on shakes...but I definitely cannot eat 90 grams of 'real' food a day...I stay full for at least 3-4 hours..plus drinking my fluids is a full time job too... I would love some ideas as to how to incorporate more protein with my real food meals... I guess Protein Shakes are gonna be a must-do for huh?? Thoughts/advice?

this appt? Does the Dr. request more labs and go over your current daily menu? I am a slow loser ...I have lost more inches than pounds...I was wearing a 3x shirt and 24w pants and now.... I can wear size 18 pants and 1x shirts ....but the scale is not showing drastic pounds being lost.... Inches lost is still a wonderful thing too...I am happy with that.... and my follow up appt is Aug 14th..... I have Kaiser insurance and so far everything has been pretty good.

Yes, I agree.....It's stll hard to see the differences in my body even though the scale doesnt show too much change...my family and friends tell me I look great...my waist is getting smaller..cool huh!

What was your daily menu like? My sugars are between 110-150 throughout the day... I usually eat breakfast: greek yogurt Lunch: tuna salad 5oz and dinner veggie patty with 2 tbsp beans Thats about it...I think I am under calories...my weight is coming off slowly... I don't know what else to add...or how many calories i really should have a day...

I know me too...my food feels so dry in my mouth and going down my throat....I take tiny sips...

I had Dr. Mun from Harbor City Kaiser... He was very straight forward to the point and does a good job at asking all the right questions in regards to your medical history... He is very thorough and cares about his patients....I felt that he cared for my well being and me resuming to my normal life after getting sleeved.... I am diabetic and now off two of my diabetes meds ---no insulin and no glipizide pills...I am now wearing size 20 pants !! I was sleeved 6/26/13

Thanks for sharing....I am a slow loser myself....I feel discouraged sometimes...but then I think Hey slow and steady wins the race!! My starting weight was 278 now I am at 245 ...the pre op diet gave me a quick boost of lost pounds...pre op diet was tough!

How far along are you? Do you have lots of morning sickness?

Im making more time to meet up with friends--instead of making excuses and staying home and being a couch potato.... Yesterday, I met with a friend at the park and we walked and talked and ended up walking 2 miles in an hour and a half Then, around 730 a fellow sleeve friend text me to meet her at the high school track to walk and talk too...we talked and walked for an hour and a half.... This morning the scale was down 2 pounds this a.m and my legs are super sore too! Also, yesterday was my FIRST attempt to 'exercise' since getting sleeved....I'm so excited for myself...eventually I wanna learn/adapt to a light jog around the track....I hope I can....eventually I wanna do a 5k run....but first I wanna walk a 5k ...lol
