50 pounds in 2 months sounds like you stand to lose 100 pounds in 5 months that is absolutely great. Keep weighing your food, make sure you drink plenty of water, and def watch the protein intake. You are doing great congrats

Found out that even though decaf coffee has no caffeine it still is a diuretic. I thought we could count decaf towards our fluids. I'm confused.

They recommend no caffeine 2 weeks including the day of surgery decaf tea should be ok however they will probably want clear liquids 2 days prior the day of surgery

Even though the scale don't move keep measuring the waist with a tape measure once a week you will see a reduction regardless.

Yup had indigestion and burning lots of gas. It looks like it will be indefinitely

Just curious how we are holding up.

Blood pressure during movement

I started my annual physical today and the subject came up of the pain. They ruled out my prostate which was mad uncomfortable if anybody had that done before knows what I mean. I don't have to test my blood sugar anymore. However I have a problem with my blood pressure during body movement. The medical doctor wants to consult with my sleeve surgeon. They suspect that they might have to add another meal daily. So that would mean 4 meals a day up from 3. I hope I don't need surgery again with this peeing problem.

Guess what I have to see a urologist cause of pain when I pee. They suspect there might be scar tissue from the sleeve surgery blocking.

I'm still trying to reach goal weight of 165. I'm 183 now. I get bloodwork done tomorrow. Check my levels. But overall can't complain.

Can you email pics of the incisions to your doctor. That's what I did its just as good as if you were standing there in front of them.

I'm in pens Landing for the weekend gonna check out the historical area. By the way I live in Brooklyn ny

I've been thinking what's the big deal if my food weighs 6.5 oz instead of the recommended 5 oz. I figure as long as I take 45 min to eat. What's the big deal.

You do make a good point. And your correct. I'm just fed up. I'm just going to have to do more research and seperate fears, facts and fallacies.

Basically its 3 oz meat protein then 2 oz low carb veg. 1/2 oz gravy fat free. 1 oz fat free shredded cheese. Am I missing something cause its not cal that can be concerning.

Okay I need some clarification so when I weigh my meat and veggies then I take the food off the scale then I add some fat free gravy and some shredded mozzarella. So does my adding gravy and like 2 pinches of shredded cheese. Do I have to include those in my weight. I think its more a volume thing. The gravy and the cheese really don't expand in the stomach. Can I get some feedback on this.

Just opened my mail and their was a letter and a script for iron from my surgeon. Just like they stated they would contact me if their was a problem with the blood work they did like 2 weeks ago.

How does one know if the sleeve stretched. I mean lets say your supposed to have only 5 ounces total meal weight. But the meal turns out to weigh 7.5 ounces. And this is done over a couple of months. Would those couple of ounces really make a difference?

35. A 49-181 is the range

Well I am pleased to say that I don't feel any acid reflux. Whew. I am stll getting slight rumblings in the stomach but that's been going on since day one.

I like that it is so true. It makes sense.

Can the people who cook their meats and veggies using a pressurecooker chime in. I was wondering how tender and moist the meat comes out. I think it would be good for the sleeve.

Also look at it this way the exciting part is your getting a second chance with a new lease on life and maintained health. Think about all those clothes that were so nice and they didn't have the right size. That's all gonna change. You will be able to wear what you want at affordable price ranges.

I was scared but ill share that they gave me anaesthesia that put me out in less than 60 seconds. Next thing I woke up in the recovery room. Everything was worth it only pain I felt was like I did too many sit ups.

Just got through talking with surgeon and he thinks I will level off at 180lbs. I want to be 165lbs. He said that 165 would be 100% of my excess weight and would be very impressed if I reached 165. That kind of burst my bubble. Oh well. I'm still going to try to get to 165.
