CW 233 GW. 220

I had my VSG on 4/9 (Wed), the next week was spring break, and I went back to work the Mon after break. I had am EMD class and was cleared for performing restraints upon returning. I was tired but better physically each day than I was before the surgery. Good luck!

I can see where frequent changes can help! I will try that when the stall visits again!

I was sleeved on 4/9 and could not break a stall! I met with my nutritionist who has me eating 6 4 oz meals/day with net calories between 800-1000. I eat 2 oz protein and 1 oz carb and I oz fruit. The scale has gone down 4.5 lbs since I met with her last week, so it does work!!! The 400-500 cal days were not doing it! ????????????????

You look fabulous! Congrats!

You look fabulous!

Congrats on goal and welcome back! Glad you're home!

Look great!

I am also a lap band survivor. My band eroded in January 2012 and required emergency surgery and a week in the hospital. I had to wait for the BMI requirements for my insurance to approve the sleeve. I was 20 lbs away from my highest weight when I started my pre-op diet. I had the sleeve on 4/9 and love it! No throwing up, no chest pains from things getting stuck, am sleeping at night without getting up sick, no meds for acid reflux, etc. I can eat any meat. I have not tried bread (other than flat bread which is fine) or pasta. I have not tried carbonated beverages either. I love my maintenance-free (no fill) sleeve. I have lost 40 lbs so far!!!

SW: 266 Today's: 238.6

I will be two months post-op on June 9 and lost 10 lbs pre-op and 37 total. I oftentimes feel like it should be more but the average is not bad.

Walk! Walk! Walk! The pain in your shoulder did from the gas and it's real!

I did the same thing for 2 weeks then lost 3 lbs this past weekend. I will be one month post op on 4/9!

Sleeved on 4/9/14 by Dr Avara in Ocean Springs. I had the lapband until 1/9/12 when it eroded. Dr Moore was my surgeon then. I am starting over with the sleeve with no complaints!

I am on the coast!

I was also sleeved on Apr 9 and have lost 11 pounds. I can really tell a difference in my clothes. I know I'm not getting enough protein.

Itsjustdaisy, I also work at an elementary school actually teacher in an EMD class. I was sleeved on Apr 9 and back to work Apr 21 without any problems!
