gully90

I’m 5’2 and started at 199 with a 37 BMI. I was sleeved 6/6/18 and I am now 169. So I’ve lost 30 total in 5 weeks. My goal is 140.

June 6 HW 199 SW 192 CW 171 GW 140 Lost 28 lbs total from HW Lost 21 since SW

Thank you I’ll definitely contact him.

Okay. I have plenty of Tylenol

With the sleeve are we allowed to take ibuprofen during our cycle times? I only cramp on day one and I need something!!

I was sleeved on 6/6 and have lost 25 as well. Haven’t had a stall.

No one in my family knows except my husband. I’m a whole month post op now lol

Sleeve is based on BMI. I had a 37 BMI at 199 lbs, which is obese for a person who is 5’2. My surgery weight was 192.4. If you are above a 35 then it is normal. The surgery adjust to the body. It helps remove 50-70 % of your excess weight. I know I got asked why I was doing it a lot but it was necessary in my eyes.

That's great! The first week seems to be a little rough for most based on what I've read but you have passed that and on your way to the finish line...YES!! Can't wait to join you real soon. Thank you and can’t wait for you to join us!

I’m going to go get that book!! Thank you

Wouldn’t expect anything less lol

I didn’t chicken noodle for the broth like 2 times I mainly did water and Gatorade. Barely any protein because I could get it down!! I survived barely lol

I actually didn’t have the purée phase which makes this transition huge! But I’m excited to get all this great stuff from you!

You have all the recipes lol I’m def trying these

First week was decent because I literally didn’t want or desire anything. The gas trapped made it undesirable you know but once I started walking it was easier

You said it best they don’t belong in your new journey!!

I’m finally on soft foods for all three meals! I’m so excited. Any recipes and advice are more than welcome!!

I’ve never tried it. But I’m going to look into it

Maybe once I can tolerate meat without gas I’ll be more excited lol

Everything I eat meat wise gives me gas. But only temporarily

You go girl!

You give me hope!!

I believe eggs/scrambled eggs, and airfried seabass were the first two things I ate. I tried ground beef too and it wasn't a good idea, but around the 10 to 12 week mark it improved Eggs aren’t so bad but meat is a killer!!!

Has anyone had to switch to a vegetarian lifestyle after getting their wls?

Yes take it easy. Listen to your body
