I had SIPS 12/17 and I’m very pleased. If you stay on track, you feel great. Carbs makes me bloated and gassy. You figure out what you can and can’t eat. Just went on vacation and ate off my hubbys and kids plates most of the time. Had a mai tai as well...
I take 2 chewable Multi Vitamins and one Calcium. I usually have a Premier Protein shake for B or L plus a yogurt. I’m having a hard time with raw veggies now so I stick to cooked. For dinner I have what the family is eating but focus on Protein first. Biggest change is my eyes are sometimes bigger than my stomach and I’ve over eaten and just don’t feel well afterwards. Other times I’ve eaten a cheeseburger...
Hope this helps

It’s probably frustrating for you, but they are trying to help you be successful. I’m sure we will all have our ups and downs. Remember we are worth it.

Hi Glam, liquids weigh 1kg/ ltr so the point put across my our fraternity is correct. IMHO where you weigh yourself can give different results. Best to weigh on hard level floors. Also your scales may be out too. Good luck and don't worry too much brave girl !

The diet you've started is designed to shrink the size of your liver which is, if you're like most bariatric patients, fatty and overly large. Since your stomach is behind your liver, your surgeon will have to lift it up and out of the way in order to operate on your stomach. The smaller you can get that liver, the easier it is for your surgeon and the less time you'll spend on the operating table. The first 3-4 days are the toughest. Your body adjusts somewhat after that and things get easier. Good luck!

They pump you full of fluids during surgery— you’ll see that all fall off quickly! Glad you’re feeling beter

Waiting to hear the results of this as well. My friend is interested and has BCBS of NC as well. Yes another North Carolinian. I can’t be of help as I am paying for mine. This is interesting as my doctors office told me insurances don’t cover DS. However I’ve seen a couple people in the forum they have had theirs covered by Insursnce-United Health Care. Anyway good luck! P

Mine is April 12th

Oh wow??? Really? I was so upset about it and still am after getting on scale 6 times and it reading a 12 pound gain. Thanks for putting me back at ease!

I know JUST how you're feeling. When they weighed me the day before I left the hospital I had gained 10 lbs! I was distraught! But it came off quickly so I think it was fluids from both the surgery and the post-op IV. Congrats on making it through.

It will get easier.. trust me...hang in there MNgirl1234!

That sucks. I'm still in the hospit at least menu

Good morning y'all. I joined the losers bench. I wasn't nervous going in, but super sorry excited.

I was so excited . Now I'm in such pain. My tummy hurts, my head, and I have an abundant amount of gas in my left breast area. I keep reminding myself that I need this.

Sorry about your loss. I'm proud of you for continuing even after your loss.

Hi there, it is 100% normal to gain after being in a hospital. They pump you so full of Fluid that your basically sloshing! Plus the anesthesia contributes to fluid retention. Don’t stress it. Should come off quickly within the next week or two.

My surgery is tomorrow and I’m having both done. My doctor said as long as I can swallow and keep fluids down I’ll be released the next day.

My surgery date is April 10th! Excited and a little nervous. I am having a Gastric Sleeve and Hiatal Hernia repair. I have been doing well on the liquid diet even over the Easter weekend, it was tough but got through it. Did anyone else have this done at the same time and was able to go home the next day? Thanks for any comments

Aww... hang in there Glamgirl!!! So proud of you!!

Hey glamgirl! I was sleeved on 4/2 also. I had a hiatal hernia repair too. I'm still in a lot of pain and there is swelling over the large incision. I pray that you have a speedy recovery. Sip, walk and smile is the best advice I hears so far. My friend that I met at one of the nutrition classes had her sleeve on 4/2 also and she is in no pain. So it really just depends on each person and you had a lot of stuff done!! Hang in there and please keep us posted [emoji4]

Mine too!

The liquid diet went great no probs. Maybe because my dad passed away and I was no way in the mood to eat anything[emoji22] bless Dad . [emoji120]

All done! surgery was yesterday 4/2 had a triple surgery. Duo denal switch, gall bladder removed and hiatal hernia repaired.
Woke up and felt a lot of pain in my stomach . Still pain day 2 here at hospital . They are keeping me another night . But I’m drinking my liquids and getting my walks in. Doing all three procedures was definitely no walk in the park ! But I’m glad my surgeon did it all in under 2 hours. So now I lay in the bed at hospital and takin my pain medicine every few hours . I’ll keep post updates for everyone[emoji3]

Stay glamorous, stay cool, your body has been through a lot in a couple hours. Practice the 3 good things, sip, walk and [emoji2], life will start to be new and improved once the tenderness dissipates. Way to,go,Ms Glamgirl!![emoji106]

How are all of you frisky, friendly and fabulous 50 year olds doing? I'm 50 this year. I felt older at my high unhealthy weight. It's weird that I feel younger now.

Hi everyone!!! Hope everybody's doing great!!! I'm doing well, getting my Protein in and my Water in. Learning what sits well with my new stomach and what don't lol. It's a learning process!
