I ordered this. My surgeon said I don't need it, it's applied for gastric bypass only. Well I still love it. Ordered from Amazon.- Anyone using the Baritastic App to track nutrition?
I use Baritastic too. It's easy to use.- Over 60??
I'm doing very good, thanks for asking. Spent less than 24hrs in hospital, very little pain. No issues with swallowing. I'm on full liquids now. I saw my surgeon on 9th day, she's happy with my progress.- Post-op Exercise
My surgeon said I can to to gym after 3wks. But i started intensive walking yesterday 1wk after surgery. Keeps me warm!- I'm so COLD!
Me too! Cold most of the time- One week post op
Thank you! I have been working out like crazy in gym for the last few months to stay strong and shorten my recovery (I'm 62yo). I walked 1 mile again with Leslie Sansone's video and it was much easier today. I took 6 weeks off work and I feel bored already. Seeing my surgeon tomorrow. BTW cookies and cream Premier protein is my favorite- Don't recommend BVSA
So sorry you had to go through this mess. I'm glad to hear about final good outcome. Wish you good luck and painless recovery!- One week post op
Thank you!- One week post op
1wk today since I was sleeved. Lost 10lb on clear liquids. Decided to start some exercise by walking 1mile using Leslie Sansone's YouTube video. Nearly fainted by the end of it but made it. My BP was 105/60! Decided to move to full liquids and shipped one carton of Premier protein. No problems so far. I feel so good and so proud of myself that I made the right choice going for VSG. I wish I have done it earlier.- Surgery
Yay! You made it! I'm so proud of you, you stayed on the race until finish line! Congratulations and lord if good vibes your way. Everything will be ok. (((Hugs)))- My 6 month before and after my Gastric Sleeve (Photos)
What an amazing transformation! Great job, congratulations!- Tomorrow is my day.
Congratulations, your surgery day is almost here! Sending hugs and positive vibes your way. Wish you quick recovery!- Sleeved 11/21 too much fluid intake?
I was sleeved on 11/20 and I'm able to sip much more than 64oz of fluids. I think it's good to be well hydrated.- Gastric Sleeve On Nov 20th
I was sleeved on 20th too. I drink chicken bouillon from BPal (15g protein), Protein2o (15g protein) and apple juice diluted 1:1 with water. Also tropical sf popsicles- FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS
Wow what an amazing transformation- My surgery is in 24hrs
Thank you all for your wonderful wishes and hugs. I'm back home, stayed less than 24hrs. I feel pain in my sternum. Now at home, watching series.- November 2018 Sleevers!?!?
My first day too. I feel pain in the largest inscision where my stomach was pulled out. Pain is tolerable but I asked for oxy- My surgery is in 24hrs
Thank you! - My progress pictures
