182.5

Hi! It's an exciting time for you! Congrats on your decision! I must say its the best thing I've ever done. I've had ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS since having my sleeve on Dec 17, 2015. I started at 260 on 8/3/15. Did my 3 months for insurance, lost 25lb during that pre-op time. Since surgery I've lost 52lbs!!! For total of 77!!!! Tomorrow will be 4 months... So happy! I was lucky to not have much pain or nausea after surgery. Keep reading posts on this site. I learned SO much prior to surgery about what to expect and what post op would be like. Good luck to you in your journey! You sound like you have a very positive attitude so I'm sure you'll do great!!!

Good Monday morning! CW 185.2

Good morning! 190.3

Hi. Today's weight is 192.2

I had my first bm after 7 days and that was because I took miralax. I was afraid of getting constipated. My bms were small the first month.

I was good 10 weeks out. Pretty much able to eat whatever, small amounts of course.

Sometimes it's what you eat, not just the amount. There are some foods that make me feel stuffed and sick after eating a very small amount while other foods I can eat at least 1/2 -3/4 cup and feel fine.

Fluids go through your sleeve pretty quickly. At 1 week post I was able to drink 64-80oz fluids and drink my protein shakes to get at least 60gm protein every day.

I'm not able to tolerate eggs. Never had a problem before surgery but my sleeve doesn't like them at all. Scrambled egg was my first "real" food I tried and it only took 2 bites to realize I couldn't handle it. Wanted to throw up. Now at 3 months post op, I've tried scrambled eggs 2 more times and have had same experience. Guess I just won't eat eggs again...sad!

The head hunger doesn't go away for everyone. There are days I want to eat non stop and other days very little. The PPIs helped me in the beginning but not so much now. It's a struggle.... As for your constipation, I'd try an enema. You don't want to get too backed up!

I went back to work after 7 days. I was exhausted for the first month post op. It's gotten much better as I've been able to eat more calories. I'm 3 months post op now and although I still tire easily, it's nothing like that first month. I just suggest getting lots of protein (at least 60grams) and fluids in every day. Hang in there. It will get better!

Yes BJs sells the premier protein shakes. That's where I buy mine. I live in South Florida but I'd think they'd sell them in all their locations.

Hi! Today's weight= 195.8

I only stayed 1 night. Less than 24 hours

I'd find a new GP!!

I think your weight loss is awesome! Your NUT sounds like a nut! Lol! Sorry. Anyway I'd say keep doing what you're doing. I think you are doing everything correctly.

I was sleeved 12/17/15. Down 35 since surgery and 60 since August 2015 when I first saw my surgeon.

I too had to pay for anesthesia because they were "out of network". Really ticks me off because I specifically had surgery at a hospital and with a surgeon in network! I had to pay the anesthesia bill. Thankfully it was only $350. But still....
