  1. When I had my surgery I did bring my cpap and guess what? They never even had me use it! When I was first diagnosed with sleep apnea I was really concerned, what is it? Why do I have it?
    Is this something that I will have for the rest of my life? All was explained by my sleep study advisor with little info.
    So I researched on my own, got machine, fitted for nose cover and again was told nothing. What? Why? How? Research again...... found how to use machine and how it works on YouTube. Hate, Hate, Hate this stupid machine! Dr. Never asked about how I was doing on it, sleep study guy never called to see how I was doing with it, even after surgery in hospital no one had me use it. What? Why? IDK?
    Darn machine wouldn't let me sleep anyways, no one seemed to care, so I didn't either.Took the darn thing back so I wouldn't be charged for it, and I have had the best sleep ever since I said goodbye to that machine. Now was that a smart thing to Do? Absolutely not!!!
    I am putting myself at risk, but I don't care!! So what I'm trying to say is, for me it was my own personal choice. But really you should talk to your Dr. Before making a decision that could be bad depending upon your health issues.
    Myself I had none.

  2. I like to snack as well, but my go to snack is sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello. When I have that hungry feeling and liquids just don't do it, I love beef Jerky. I also like the Atkins caramel nut roll bars, so delicious with great Protein and low carbs! Oh yeah, I love Yoplait yogurt low fat, so very yummy.

  3. All i can say is stick with it and I promise results will come. I felt so badly for not loosing anything pre-op and first week out of surgery, and then it did happen come the 2nd week. I am only 6weeks po-op and have lost 24lbs now, but if you read about other people's results of losing 40+ lbs in just a few weeks and say why not me? It's because we are not them. Everyone has different start out weights and age makes a difference when it comes to metabolism as well. Keep faith in knowing your turn is next, and stay off the scales. Only weigh yourself once a week and in morning is the best time.
    Good luck on your journey and know your not alone!!!

  4. My surgery was 8/29, and I said the same thing you did about rather I was posting correctly to get replies because I wasnt:0( but was still able to read up on other experience 's to get the just of it all. I have only lost 23lbs and I'm am now at my 6wk po-op , my start weight was 244lbs and did not loose pre-op.
    I was only on the liquid diet for a week though. I have gotten sick when I was first able to eat solids because I was eating to big of bites and to fast.
    So I started a game with my daughter who eats way to fast anyways, and we count to 20 to chew and use a toddler fork or spoon to eat with and don't get up from table untill 20-30 minutes of eating time. This has really helped me out personally. Contact me anytime if you want, looks like our surgery dates are only a,week apart.

  5. Update ... sleeved 8/29/2017
    HW 272 SW 244 CW 221
    Still loosin but so slowly, not counting calories just making sure I'm eating Protein, protein, and more protein.
    I still feel like I'm not losing much, try not to get depressed but it's really hard.
    Seemed like after losing the first 20 the next 3lbs was harder to achieve. I can't give up!! I know everyone is different, but I would really like to know where the end of August to first of September of 2017 stands with their weight loss.

  6. Had my sleeve done on August 29th so happy I can eat Now! I have lost 20lbs and I'm so happy, but I feel like maybe I'm eating to much or not enough sometimes.. My Dr. Does not have me counting calories yet, he is just wanting me to make sure I eat a lot of Protein.< /p>

    I know everyone's diet is different, but it still leaves me with concern. What are you eating?

    How is your weight loss going? Now my pre-op weight was 244 and didn't loose any weight before surgery, so I'm was thinking I should of lost more by now... what do you think?

  7. Yes, I have followed every guidelines that was given to me, I finally did call Dr.
    And he prescribed medication for my esophagus spasms and he said the pain in my side is also just another muscle spasms that will eventually go away. Really didn't know who to talk with, or what to do, or if this has happened to anyone else. Found this site looking for advice, but definitely glad I called my surgeon. Thank you very much for helping:0)
