Turcoise

I almost didn't pass my evaluation because she said I tried too hard to project a positive image... I am just a happy person generally and had the sleeve to qualify for a kidney transplant being overweight wasn't a bad thing for me

Congratulations!

I was able to swallow capsule and tablets within a week of surgery and some of my pills are not small, but TBH I still can't quite get the Calcium pill that thing was made for horses

I mixed shredded cheddar with my scrambled eggs in the morning, kept the eggs moister and added Protein

My surgeon just wanted me to lose 10lbs between October and my surgery last month. I lost nothing until January when they told me if I didn't start losing some weight I would not qualify then they gave me an easy diet I could try

Breakfast

Protein shake or 2 eggs

snack

Light Yogurt

lunch

Lean Cuisine

Snack

cheese Stick/Smartfood (something in the 100 calorie range)

dinner

Small portion of my normal family dinner or another Lean Cuisine

I lost 40 lbs between February 2 and May 5

Same as above a slept in a recliner but I did it for 3 weeks as I am a side sleeper normally and would not have handled that (I tried after 1.5 weeks and went back to the recliner)

I had surgery on Thursday Morning and was discharged Saturday afternoon. My surgeon did a leak test in the OR and had a second one done Friday morning after which was allowed small sips of Water

Tilt your seat back, I had trouble for the first several weeks sitting completely upright tillting back slightly relieved a lot of pain

If your REALLY anemic you may need Iron infusions, got to say I never feel better than the first few months after an infusion even my bruising goes away

I do 2 chewable Gummy Flinstones a day. They are a great way for me to feel like I had a treat and also get in my Vitamins

I had surgery May 5th and we are going to Disney on July 22nd for two weeks. My doctor said it would be fine after 6 weeks to go if we wanted.

I would like to participate current weight 255lbs I guess I will make a Goal of 235 since I am pretty much only 1 month out from surgery

I can't eat a whole egg yet I usually have about 2 bites left when I try... this is the nice part about having dogs, they are happy to eat the excess.

I tell people I had the WLS because I need a Kidney Transplant and in order to qualify I needed to lose 80lbs... which hey only 15 more lbs to go :-)

Wow amazing loss in so quick a time!

I did carafate for a couple of days post surgery because it helped with this fluttering feeling I would get in my chest which was apparently some sort of acid reflux that caused nausea
