Some people ? lol... I did suggest ankle weights to someone here once.

I weigh in nekkid every morning because i titrate blood pressure/ Heart failure meds bases on small weight fluctuations 1.5 to 3 lbs. I have gone from a daily dose to once every 7-10 days.

So glad your heart checked out ok. Did they leak test or C T your stomache or staple line ? Sounds like you are going to be ok

Every morning , Wake Void Weigh : )

Thank you for the timely responce, my prayers are with you P.S Did they draw a CBC and Blood Culture ? Sorry to pry.

This is an important post to me since I spent a week scared to death I may have caused a leak by over drinking pureed beefstew when my labs showed me to be very anemic with hemoglobin level 12.9. I have been taking full vitals BP PULSE RATE O2% TEMP and GLUCOSE 4 times a day and if anything goes out of my normal it's a call to the surgeon and off I go. ( fear is a great motivator lol ) Have you checked out the recent posts here in thread stomache leak ? I had the sholder pains too but differently than yours. What did they do for diagnostics at the E R to clear you a few weeks ago. please please check back after the PA calls. Your report is really valuable to all current and future sleevers. Thanks.

103 in 8 months is fantastic ! Let us know how/when you break the stall.

You know what they say about people who can't take a joke...

If it feels good do it... up to a point. lol

How many ounces are you having per pureed meal ? I had 4oz of pureed Beef Stew for breakfast and it feels ok. Is that too much ?

I'm looking at a wonderful Ribeye Roast . Last year I would have carved off a thick 12 oz slab. Tonight I nervously had 2 oz pureed. + 2 oz sweetpotato slowly over 1 hour. I just hit the - 100 lb mark this morning ! SO WORTH IT ! Hang in there . Marry Christmas !

Thankfully I have had none of the suspected leakage symptoms above .

That was a few days ago. Yesterdays temp was 96.6 and today was 97.4 , typical hypothyroid temps but I will tell them. Thanks.

I was sleeved 12/04 and afew days ago while walking I got a dull aching pain between my sholders and neck both sides that made my arms feel heavy. It hasn't been back but having read it could be a symptom of a leak I'm kind of scared. I almost died from sepsis 2 years ago due to a leaking duodenal ulcer . Now wondering if I should report it to the surgeon's office tomorrow.

3500 calories are basically one lb. Your body at todays weight burns about 2600 calories per day (at sedentary). If you are consuming 600+/- than you have an excess burn of aprox 2000 calories, which is about .67 of a lb per day, Awsome info ! Thanks , Is there an app or calculator for this ? How many would I burn sedentary at 285. Again thanks for posting this .

21 lbs is fantastic at 1 month ! I was sleeved 12/04 and have lost 18.0 lbs in the 16 days since. My surgery weight was 303 now 285.

I was defered by the psychologist the day of my pre-op (witch was cancelled) then left in limbo for a month not getting any direction or help from the surgeons office untill I showed up requesting all my medical records and informed them I was switching to another doc. Two weeks later I was sleeved . My Surgeon is awsome ! Glad that it worked out for us both!

Hate to say I told...

Wholly shite ! Amazing ! We looked like body doubles at 346.0 lol

Having taken Effexor in 2003 and a year working in the Emergency Department at Cottage Hospital and seeing how WELL it " works for some people" I stand by my original opinion . It's Dog Doo ! :)

"Transition slowly mix up purred with liquids if you feel good on liquids" I could not agree more ! That's what I plan to do . :)

I drink a 30 g protein Ensure before and 8-16 oz of V-8 Juice after. Still on liquids . Like the ideas above.

8 oz at 7 days is nutz. I am 12 days and tonight tried 1oz fish ,1oz instant potatoes with butter 3 hrs ago , no problems yet. I can have pureed Thursday. B care full.

I would say you're home free. Start training,lol

No biggie. Did anything happen to you physically .
