I’m 13 months out from my sleeve, and have lost 115. My nutritionist says that I am likely at my set point.

Nov 2018 Hydration Challenge
Kasrielle replied to GreenTealael's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I still struggle to get in enough fluids, so count me in! I'm Kasrielle on MFP. My nutritionist has me using it and bring her my reports, so I'm recording everything! -

GALS who started their journey over 300 lb+<br /> +
Kasrielle replied to Frustr8's topic in The Gals' Room
I was 310 when I started in the Bariatric Program in August of 2017, and 286 when I had my surgury on June 1 2018. This morning I weighed in at 241 - crazy! I always said I didn't care about getting skinny - I just wanted my knees to stop hurting and to be able to go up the stairs if necessary. It's a process for sure! -

Mine started falling out a couple of weeks ago, and I get great clumps in the shower. Luckily, while my hair is quite fine, I had a ton of it. So the thinning of it has not rendered me bald - yet. My stylist cut it differently to take advantage of how thin it is getting, and that helped. My understanding is the the hair loss will stop eventually - isn't that right?

I stopped dringing diet pepsi after I was hospitalized for a pulmanary embolism in Feb of 2017. And while my nutritionist discourages them, she said Icould have one if I wanted. However, in my case the diet soda greatly increased my urge to eat. So I'm in no hurry to go back to them.

Centrum and vitamins. Show me
Kasrielle replied to newmeinfla's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I took Centram Silver chewables, and they made me really nauseous. I'm switching over to tablets now. I'm also on Caltrate Chewables, Caltrate Chocolate Chews, and jamison B complex Berry Bliss. Oh - and B sublingual, and Ferimax powder. Good grief! -
I was off for 4 weeks, and really needed 3 of them. I was very glad to be able to be off that long.

I'm 10 weeks out and usually getting between 700-900. Like many of you, I'm struggling most to get in enough fluids - water is now making me nauseous. I've tried it flavoured, unflavoured, warm, room temp, iced - you name it. I keep at it, but I'mlucky to get in more than 45 ounces, and that is with counting all my other fluids, too. (Protein shakes, milk, etc.)

June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!
Kasrielle replied to gully90's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm down 30 lbs since June 1, and in my 3rd week of soft solids. My nutritionist won't let me start on regular food for another 3 weeks. I'm averaging between 400 and 700 calories, but struggle to get in 50 grams of protein. And I cannot get 20 grams of fibre no matter how hard I try. And I'm only averaging around 46 ounces of water. I know I need to drink more, and up my protein and fibre. How do you do it? I have water will me at all time, and try to sip regularly. Can i take in more than a mouthful every 15 minutes at this point? -
Hi all, My nutritionist suggested I get some of these supplements to help with getting enough protein and fibre. In Canada they are carried by a company called Caring Solutions - https://www.caringsolutions.ca/ . I got some samples from them - the liquacel comes in several flavours and each serving has 16 grams of protein. The fibercel has 5 grams of fibre in each serving. I was just wondering if anyone is using them and what you think?

How often do you weigh yourself?
Kasrielle replied to Tracy1978's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've been weighing myself every morning, first thing. I only record my losses, but any stalls or gains allow me to look back over my food diary and think about what I've taken in vs out. Not enough water? Not enough fiber? Not enough protein? Ok - and I make adjustments. -

Wow - I must be so lucky. My supervisor and team haave been amazingly supportive. I knew given my starting weight that people would be quite curious about my sudden weight loss. I told my supervisor and my team exactly what I was having, including explaining what a gastric sleeve was. They were all incredibly happy and supportive for me, and most had stories of someone they knew who had a similar surgery, and how it changed their life.

Why is it that we can no longer for the rest of our lives drink carbonated drinks or carbonated water like Perrier?
Kasrielle replied to apositivelife4me's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was addicted to diet drinks for many years, as I got fatter and fatter. Last February I had a Saddle Pulmanary Embolism and almost died. While in the hospital my respirologist would not let me have any pop - so cold turkey it was. I never started drinking it again, thanks goodness. Then after starting the Bariatric program in August of last year my nutritionist started pulling me off everything else in preparation for surgery. First iced tea (it was sweetened), then carbonated water, then caffiene. I'm now 6 weeks out, and have had regular coffee a couple of times. No problems with it but I find I don't need it. I imagine I will go back to the occasional diet drink after 6 months or so, but I don't need it like I used to. -
How long off work/disability?
Kasrielle replied to Happy2lose13's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was off for 4 weeks - today is my first day back. My biggest issue is that I'm still really weak from not getting in very many calories. Luckily I have a desk job and I've managed to work the whole day. I'm hoping that the more I move at the office, the more energy I'll get...
