I haven't been able to eat near as much as you. I have had some issues for the past couple weeks. The first two weeks I was doing great, and probably over did it a little, and now I am paying the price. I really don't feel so well. My surgeon did a fantastic job, I think I messed up. Went to the emergency room a couple nights ago, and had some blood tests and took in a liter of saline. That helped a little, pluse I have no fever, my protein is on the high side, and white blood count is normal, so I don't suspect a leak. My surgeon said it sounds like my sleeve has become swollen and this happens from time to time, and with time it will get better. So I keep going on faith. There is no way I can eat 2oz of anything.

Loosing weight fast comes with a price. You are loosing just fine and healthy. Keep up the good work!,, BTW,, We are a couple miles south of the Woodlands Pkwy.

Yes, everything went very well. Feeling good. Weight is melting off, down two pant sizes already. My kids (grown) live in Tennessee, and most all my relatives. A lot of nice hills to excersice on,, lol.. Best of happiness to you and hope to meet you at one of Dr. Alvarez's reunions.

Thank you. Yeah, it feels great. I was reading about the side effects of ketosis and thought you might want to google it. Nothing bad, just learn what to maybe expect if your body doesn't tolerate it well. Also, I was reading Dr. Atkins stated you need to comsume less than 30carbs per day, which I do and that takes your desire for food away, but not healthy to be on a such low carb diet over a long period of time. When I start solid foods i am going to aim for around 60. They say that is like the "sweet spot", you feel great, don't have strong cravings, and can stay there a long time without bad side effects.. Here is part of one of the articles I read.

Hey there and thanks. First 2 days were a little rough. I expected a little pain from the incisions but had more from inside that I was not expecting. But that has dimished greatly on day 3. Thank you for all your support I will keep posting if you have any questions I will be glad to answer them. I am impressed with zero bruising at the incision sites.

Hey Mellaella, Thank you. The first two days were kinda rough, but things seem to move along fairly quickly towards recovery. My Dr. told me before I checked out this morning to follow the post op diet very carefully and I will never have to diet again.. Man that was good to hear. Hope things are going well for you and yours.

Well, I am getting sleeved Monday, so that will make at least two of us in Tomball.. Glad you are doing well..

It is great to hear that things went well for you, and thank you very much. Very pretty pic and cute dog.. LOL..

laura, you are a very pretty lady. Being the cook and mom of the house, I don't know how you ladies do it. I have been convinced women are the stronger sex. We can lift more but us men could not handle giving birth,, LOL,, I passed out while watching my son come into this world. You are smarter than you know, eating a few snacks does not make one stupid. For us overeaters it is harder than coming off drugs. A drug you can totally quit and survive but one always has to eat. You have done so well so far, I am sure there are moments. I only hope I can do as well. Best wishes for the best of happiness to you and yours.

Hi, I was wondering how you are doing. I am scheduled for sleeve with Dr. Alvarez Feb 1st. Getting a little anxious. Thanks

Looks like you no longer post on here. I was just wondering how you are doing? I am in Houston area and scheduled for sleeve with Dr. Alvarez Feb 1st. A little anxious but feel prettty confident in having Dr. Alvarez do the surgery, but would appreciate some feedback. Thanks :>)

Hi,, I hope things are going well for you. I notice you haven't been on lately. I would imagine you are busy with that fine looking son you have. Take care, be well.

Hey lebyvr, I wanted to ask you about the flight back to Canada. I hope everything is still going well for you. Thanks for your post.

Good going, I can a lot of beauty there. I am about a hundred pounds overweight and getting a little bit of angina. I either get the lapband or update my will, since I won't be around much longer,, duhhh,,, I am going to go for the band. I just love eating so much, I worry I am going to miss it dearly. Well, just wanted to say congrats to you, I envy you. FA
