Kasrielle

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

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!

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.

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.)

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?

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.
