Sleeveforme2017

I started at two weeks post op. All I've been doing thus far is the elliptical and bike (besides walking). I'm 6 weeks post op now and have an appointment with my surgeon on Friday and plan to make sure it's ok to add in weights and ab exercises.

April 7. 218.8
April 14. 215.6
Goal 199

I love it. I have a follow up appt next week for blood work so we'll see how good it works.

I use the Vitamin Patch. Best thing ever. I couldn't get all those pills in daily

That is so strange.. I am post 6 weeks and can barely eat 4 bites of anything.. As for drinking water!.. loved Water prior to surgery.. can't stand it now because it taste like lead. Do I get hungry... YES.. but am basically living on oatmeal.. soups.. eggs.. some fruit and Snapple Peach Diet.. I can't tolerate anything else. I am down 47 pds. So I can't imagine what is going on with your sleeve.. but don't get discouraged.... stay focused.

Increasing my Protein helped me. My Nut said at least 80 per day

I think you are lucky! I am a private person and not planning to tell anyone but my parents and husband about WLS. I have mentioned eating better to friends and co workers, so they aren't shocked and have lost weight pre surgery- but I really REALLY don't want people to say things like "whoa you really lost weight, or how did you do it etc" it makes me super uncomfortable to talk about weight with people. I loath the idea of my aunts or other relatives bringing this up at family events...

I'm keeping mine a secret except for close family and my boss and I told them to keep it a secret. Except my husband has a big mouth and told another parent ughhhh. People can be so judgmental I don't have time for it. My bff was prior to surgery so we don't discuss it. Some have notice my weight loss, I just told them I had to change eating habits do to hiatal hernia surgery.

My MD prescribed Actigall for me after surgery. I have to take it for about 9 months to help prevent gallbladder problems

I also had hiatal hernia repair with my sleeve and have the same problem still and I'm 9 wks post op

My MD said absolutely no to Genepro

Try Isopure Protein Water from GNC. 40 G protein and 20 oz water in one shot. Easy to go down. Some flavors are yuck. I liked grape best. Taste like a melted Popsicle.

It wasn't easy for me. I had to start using the Vitamin Patch.

I haven't had anything that I'm not supposed to. I can barely get the required food down. Plus I'm afraid it will make me sick.

I had hiatal hernia surgery with my sleeve. I had horrible reflux prior to surgery but no problem with it since. I am 6 wks post op. My MD has me taking Prilosec for six months.

Sometimes I get them when I haven't eaten in a while and feeling hungry

Is there such a thing. It 10pm and I realize that I still need about 40 grams of Protein. I can't possible bring myself to eat or drink anything else. I wish there was an easier way to get it all in. My stomach just can't hold it all some days.

I've been using the Vitamin Patch and love it .

The only thing I can tolerate with no problem is grilled shrimp. Everything else eggs yogurt chicken tuna Protein shakes, I make myself eat but it's hard.

I've never heard of a hiatal hernia. Is that similar to GERD? I can google it when I get to work... LOL! So glad you are doing well. [emoji847]

I had hiatal hernia surgery at the same time as my sleeve. Haven't had problems since

Zipper or button front robe/ duster. Easy to get off and on

I have also stalled. I'm 5 wks post op today. Iv only lost 2lbs in the last 2 wks. After losing 24. It is frustrating to say the least. I've done everything correctly. Increased my Protein because my MD said I wasn't getting enough.

Protein Shakes. Protein Water. Fluffy pillows, I had a hard time getting comfortable after surgery

I had surgery 1/26 also. Iv lost 25 lbs but have stalled the last two
weeks. Very frustrating
