How are the May sleevers doing?
apositivelife4me replied to QueenEB's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
What are you complaining about? I am 2 months post op today and I have lost just 22 pounds. It takes time. I have been able to only get down 2 quarts of water per day. -

Hospital bag
apositivelife4me replied to Drealeeanne's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think you are over doing it a little bit. You wont even be thinking about three quarters of those items when you get out of surgery. -

Low BMIers - how fast did you lose weight?
apositivelife4me replied to soph504's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been disappointed in my weight loss. At my surgery day I was 261 with a bmi of 36. Right now I weigh 239. I called my Dr about it and they told me that I was doing well. I guess we who have low bmi's just lose slower even though we arent eating much. My goal weight is 178. -

There is alot of protein in lentils and black beans which I eat tiny portions of through the week. I have some black beans in the crock pot right now. -
Water/Liquid Intake
apositivelife4me replied to Amc203's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I am going to start using protein powder made with milk. I put it in the blender and make a shake with it. I was using sweetened protein powder and it was too rich for my stomach and it made me feel sick. -
Water/Liquid Intake

My water intake is not where it should be either. I am getting about 2 liters per day. When I drink too much water my gut hurts. -
Water/Liquid Intake
apositivelife4me replied to Amc203's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have an unsweetened protein powder that has 20 grams of protein per scoop but I have no used it yet I just bought it. I am going to make some black eyed beans in the crockpot today and that should provide some nice protein. -
Water/Liquid Intake

I am 2 months post op as of tomorrow the 9th of July and I do not get near 300 calories a day. I have only lost 21 pounds so far. Two little yogurts and I am full. I try and eat a little bowel of oatmeal in the morning with a tablespoon of brown sugar. -

I would go down to the County Courthouse and file for a divorce. If she cant be supportive then she wont be supportive after the surgery.

I had 3 Irish coffees and nothing happened
apositivelife4me posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
On July 3rd I went to my favorite bar and had 3 Irish coffees and nothing happened. I barely caught a buzz. I didnt get sick or get an upset stomach. I am 2 months post op and it was nice to watch the soccor game on the TVs and sip my Irish coffee. Now this does not mean I will do this all the time but now and then it is a nice stress reliever. -

apositivelife4me replied to apositivelife4me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I really thought there was a possibility that I might get a slightly upset stomach but no, it did not get that. I didnt even catch a buzz. I dont need to be drinking alcohol and will not be doing that again for a while. -

Food and Liquids Taste Different after Surgery
apositivelife4me replied to Gundy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I found that after surgery I cannot eat scrambled eggs or cheese. They make me gag. -
My surgery was May 9. I started working out 1 week ago. It really helps me.
