    What have I done to myself?

    nomoremeds replied to JellyBellyNoMore's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I stalled for 3 weeks. I was expecting it so I stopped getting on the scale. At about 1 month and 1 week post op I checked the scale and I had lost 9 more pounds. The stall happens but the weight loss will continue after a while. My only fear is losing too much weight and looking sickly. I want to reach my goal weight and maintain. Don't really want to be skinny

    Why aren't you drinking protein shakes on your pre-op diet?

    Peppermint extract

    nomoremeds replied to Whynotnow's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I've used vanilla and coconut extract. It taste good and I had no adverse reaction.

    Just try making your shakes as interesting a possible. Keep a variety of sugar free non carbonated drinks handy. Try and get use to it. This is pretty much how it will be when you get home from the hospital. I was sleeved on oct 15th and it has been smooth sailing so far. My doctor allowed me to chew sugar free gum on my two week liquid diet. It helped when i became weary of liquids. Hang in there.

    My surgery on the 15th went great. No complications. No need for pains mess until I got home. Surgery was at around 8:00a.m. and I was released to go home at 6:30 pm. The only issue I'm having is figuring out if I'm taking in enough liquids. I never have a full feeling but I get a discomfort in my chest at a certain point. I'm going to call the doctor today and ask about it.I dontvwant to be starving myself and not know it!

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. Hang in there and stay connected to this blog for encouragement. I have my surgery on the 15th of this month. I hope to hear that you're much better.

    How much did you weigh pre op?
  10. nomoremeds
    I thought I paid all my fees and today I received an email about protien shake cost and co-pay to go to the office for a meeting. Now I have an email that says the hospital will contact me the day before surgery about hospital fees. When I started the jouney I was told that my insurance was great and all I would have to pay is $400 for my surgery. Does anyone know about how much hospital fees are?

    Thanks for the info scoutmom. Good to hear the encouragement. I have 2 weeks until I'm sleeved.

    Bingeing after the sleeve

    nomoremeds replied to gabito's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I'm confused. I though after we have the sleeve we can no longer eat donuts or breads. Is this not so?

    nomoremeds replied to chas4022's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I think it depends on the doctor. My surgery is on the 15th and I'll be going home the same day if there are no complications. I don't want any complications but I don't want to go home the same day either????
