Uhm you are at MGH the best hospital in the country ! I'm sure he is best of the best. I m having mine at Brigham women's on MArch 2. Had I worked closer to MGH would ve went there in a heartbeat . I Had a surgery at MGH in Jan and it was a very good experience ! You are In great hands

I've lost 43 pounds , 60 to go and I don't regret the slip. They were delicious

I appreciate your candidness . I too was always i the gym trying g to lose weight only to gain . I was so upset and my husband you to say as long as you are throwing something I'm fine w it ! Obviously he didn't want an obese wife but he saw my struggle and just didn't want me to give up . I had no other health issues either I think only because of the exercise . I m three weeks post op Thursday ! Felt the dizziness too and trying to increase my calories a bit . I'm back at the gym but don't feel I have enough calories yet to add weights. Hopefully next week ! I'm only down about 16 but I'm starting to feel good !

Keep up the good work ! Great video as always ! I m four weeks and have only lost 17 lbs but I have had no issues and can eat Normally too just less .

I'm three weeks and at about 800. I'd rather be at a higher calorie to be able to work out harder . You still gotta lose at 800.

I'm three weeks and have been stuck for days despite walking five miles a day and getting my Protein and Water goals . I m just gonna believe in the process and trust it will happen . Maybe stay of scale for a week .

I had surgery two weeks ago . Starting weight 232 . Thanks so much for the motivation ! I can't even fathom losing that at this point

If you caused a staple to pop, I believe you would be in immediate pain. The Water filling your mouth is called slime-ing. It happens when your sleeve doesn't agree with a food or you haven't eaten slow enough. I haven't experienced this myself but I've done a lot of research of the food stages and food aversions. I'm not sure if the popping sound was maybe gas or something. If you start to have really bad pain or continue to slime, I would contact your healthcare team.

Omg I love your videos and even though I'm a woman can relate . I too worked out ferociously last ten years running half marathons , cf etc only to either lose minimal weight and gain it back ot lose nothing . It was so hard for me to justify surgery as well because all my blood work was normal . Bounce ad around up and down between a Bmi of 32 to 37. Broke my ankle last May and instantly gained 30lbd just from lack of exercise and knew something had to be done . I was sleeved March 2 just few days after you ! lol you did scare me in our video though about the post op food . Ten days post op my food plan goes to stage 1 soft foods . I did eat a soft banana which is on at and went down fine but then watched your video and got nervous and rechecked my list lol. Thank you for your candidness ! Huge fan of your videos !

I'm 5 days post op and decided to get out of the house and visit my family on the Island..we went to my favorite restaurant and it was so hard watching everyone eat calamari, shrimp, fish ect and I sat there eating ice chips My family felt bad but I was ok... I kept thinking that in a few months I too will be a able to eat seafood again

Thank you for the hope . I'm on day 3 and can't see the light

BOSTON

Just go approved so I'm March 2 too! Can't wait to be on the other side of this

In the 2nd too! Where is your surgery ?

Thank you for the hope . I'm on day 3 and can't see the light

My nutritionist gave me a very detailed list of what I can eat the two weeks pre op. It consists basically of five meals a day and you pick something from each column until you have had your five meals. Two columns are basically shakes one column is specific Protein bar and I ther column is 4 oz lean Protein and veggies . The list is very specific on brand and quantity allowed . The same with post op up till day 50 only specific foods for each stage ie liquid, soft food mushy foods etc . Only eat what is listed nothing else

Ice chewing could be an Iron deficiency . Have them check your iron

Hey me too! When and where r u getting sleeved ?

@mylighthouse, thanks for your reply. I actually expected to lose at least 15lbs. As I mentioned before I used to weigh 400lbs and lost down to 250lbs through diet and exercise. And I gained 45 lbs back of the 150 that I loss and I have yo-yoed my ENTIRE LIFE!!!! My weight loss was faster during that process, I guess I expected it to be quicker after surgery..I agree as comparing myself has really discouraged me!!!!

I asked about my nose ring and if I was allowed to were a plastic retainer in place during the surgery since my nose piercing would close up right away. He told me that was fine, and I took out all of my other piercings. Just about everything else they covered before I even had to ask, they were very very thorough at my pre op appt.

So I had emailed the nutritition ist and she said SEltzer is fine. That being said I found a zero cal flavored Water at costco that
tastes good and isn't too sweet Kirkland Brand!
