Thanks. The returns from the sleeve keep coming. No more blopp pressure issues, no elevated cholesteral and no pounding irratic heart beats whenever I exercise. Another unexpected perk is that on special occaisions the hubby and I can go out to an expensive restaurant and share a dinner and leave satisfied! I can shop online and the clothing fits well except for one top that was way too big. I wear size 4-6 pants tops M-L. I am over the moon with the sleeve sure I have to be careful take my vitamins and supplements and make sure to eat my protein frist at meals but all that is nothing to what the weight cost me.

I totally did it -- traveled 3 weeks after surgery, across country. In my carryon, I packed an empty shaker bottle and packets of Syntrax nectar to mix in to Water I got from the flight attendant. :-) I took an anti-nausea pill about 45 minutes before boarding, to make me a little sleepy and ensure I wouldn't get queasy. You need to make sure your doctor is okay with it, but I was pretty firm about it, I was going for the Jewish high holy days, and it wasn't optional. :-)

plateau for 4 months with no weight loss. Considering HCG?
Hailey50_0 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I underwent RNY on 12/31/13. I started off at 219lbs. Day of surgery, weighed in at 209. Lost weight consistently for the first three months and have been at a plateau ever since. I went to my 3 month appt late (so in May) because I was embarrassed at my low amount of weight loss. I was down 40 lbs from when it all started. Doctor was pleased but I was/am frustrated. I journaled, ate appropriate number of Protein grams, liquids, exercised, and still can't lose the weight. I went in on 5/12 to be exact and I still have not lost weight. I am now considering the HCG diet, since that is also a very low calorie diet. I am so frustrated. I currently weigh 177 and I can't keep losing. The surgeon wants me to get to 131lbs. Any suggestions, assistance would be greatly apprecited. Good news is that I no longer have sleep apnea or diabetes. I know overall I have lost a good amount of weight, but I am frustrated that I do everything right and have not lost anything since March, 2014 (except the 2 lbs that fluctuate). HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hailey50_0 -
Sure. I eat the same thing every day. Meal #1: 1 scrambled egg with 2 oz chicken breast Meal #2: 4 oz of cottage cheese with 1 T sugar-free strawberry preserves Meal #3: 3 oz chicken breast, 1 string cheese, 5 ParmCrisps Meal #4: 3 oz salmon with 1 oz green beans Meal #5: 2 oz hamburger steak (90% lean) with 1 oz green beans Meal #6: 3 oz chicken breast with 1 oz green beans Meal #7: 2 oz chicken breast with 1 string cheese Meal #8: 4 oz of cottage cheese with 1 T sugar-free strawberry preserves I drink 32 oz of water after Meal #1 and again after Meal #2. I drink 16 oz of water after Meal #3. I drink 16 oz of PowerAde Zero after Meal #5, and 8 oz water mixed with 8 oz of PowerAde Zero after Meal #8. (I give the 30 minutes before and after meals as well.) This comes out to 1200-1300 calories per day, 20 carbs per day, and 120-130 grams of protein per day.

Concerned About Pre-Op Diet...
AmandaBelle75 replied to JessRess's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on a full liquid diet. I can have Gatorade 2, sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello, protein shakes, broth and crystal light. I could also have milk, yogurt and cottage cheese but I don't like any of those things. I just started my liquid diet today. 9 days left to go! -
Concerned About Pre-Op Diet...
twins4me2 replied to JessRess's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been reading the pre-op diets that everyone is on. I am also on a 1 week liquid diet to shrink my liver. The thing is: I worked for a weightloss clinic for 2 years and the Dr. there always said to start off a diet getting 70grams to 100grams of lean Protein to get your liver to dump all the fat and boost your weightloss. I have done this several times in the past and always loose 10 or 15lbs in a couple of weeks. So I think some Drs. put us on the liquid diets just to get us ready for what is ahead after surgery. This is there way of seeing if we will comply to the dietary changes necessary for living and loosing with the lapband. GETTING BANDED THIS THURSDAY!!!!!!!HOORAY HOORAY I AM ON MY WAY....TO A BRAND NEW BANDED ME. -
Concerned About Pre-Op Diet...
brlgirl replied to JessRess's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been on my pre-op diet since the 19th (which will be 2 weeks before my surgery). I get to drink 2 protein shakes (yummy) and a small meal which included 4oz of lean meat (chicken, fish, beef--I eat vension), 1c veggies (no corn, carrots, potatoes, starchy veggies) and 1c. fruit (no bananas). The dinner is great...but I was starving for a few days...now it's better. Weekends are especially hard (I have a 3 year old and a husband who works 12 hour days and tells me he needs to eat.) I have lost 13 pounds and am getting excited.. -
Has everyone out there lost hair post op?
haleytrim replied to Thinkingthinner1109's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A long-time nurse told me that major surgery of any kind may cause hair loss. The trauma plus the Protein issues would probably intensify the effects. She said protein protein protein, vtamins, and get plenty of rest and stay hydrated. Like we all haven't heard that a million times. LOL -
I've doubled up on scoops of Protein before in one shake. While it was palatable, it was also very thick. My stomach didn't like the texture and it say very heavily.
-
You can do that. I was advised to add powdered milk to things early on for that reason. Here's an article on protein amounts: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/health-fitness/healthy-eating/know-your-nutrients/how-much-protein-can-the-body-absorb?page=1

Hey my July peeps! I had my 2 week post op visit today. I was sleeved on July 21. My starting weight in Jan was 274, surgery weight 263 and today,,,,,,,,,, (drum roll) 253!!!!! Its 10 lbs in 10 days, yeah i will take that. Gosh i cant stop smiling!! 21lbs gone. Thank you Jesus. Woo woo i am so excited!!!! I have no problems eating or drinking water and protein requirements are at 30 for this week. My Doc goes slowly upward to a total only of 45. I have been drinking at least 60oz of water a day. I was always a water drinker only. I feel good except for pain that I am having because I had a lot of scar tissue due to my previous surgeries. He even had to do 6 insicions instead of three. But i am walking and all my incisions are healed. I will be in my pool tomorrow starting slow. I have lymphedema in my legs and the pool helps with the swelling. Another wonderful thing is that i am off all diabetic meds !!!!!!!!! Oh yeah!! Can you tell i am busting???? (Seinfeld: George: I am busting Jerry, busting!!!!) God Bless my woderful surgeon and his team. It does feel as great as everyone says. Hang in there July peeps.....we gonna do great!!!!!

47 years old. 1 week post op Sleeve
laceemouse replied to laura1116's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Impossible to answer because everyone is different. Many people have a stall around week 3. Be sure you are getting your Water and Protein in, and increase your calories when your surgeon says to. Calorie intact that is TOO low can actually make things worse sometimes. -
I know that I'm not the one who asked...but I would like to thank you all for the information just the same. I am also looking to test drive a few to see what I can stand to drink. My nutritionist recommended BSN Lean Dessert Protein (I don't know if it is isolate or not)...and someone else recommended unjury. I found that you can get sample packs of most of them...I will be ordering and taste testing them all in the next week or so! Thanks again. -Frog

Hi Everybody!! I'm new to forums in general so it's going to take me a while to learn all the in and outs. About me: Colombian, 35 y/o, lived in Ft lauderdale FL for 9 years, married, two girls (3 y/o and 10 months). I've been researching about the sleeve for a few months now and want to thank all of you sleevers that have shared your experiences and thoughts. WLS is a difficult desicion to make. So...........I am down to two options :thumbup:: Dr. Almanza in Tijuana and Dr. Cure in Barraquilla (Colombia). I am tired of just thinking about it so i hope i can make a desicion in the next two weeks. Back to work now.........MC

As a fellow teacher, I totally understand the push to get that date all squared away for summertime! I'm probably going to be a July sleever too, unless I end up having to wait longer than anticipated for insurance clearance. *fingers crossed* I'm itching to get my date set in stone, too, but in the meanwhile, I just keep planning for success after the procedure. Got my vitamins, got a protein powder that I've been incorporating into my daily diet, and so far I've lost 10 pounds. I'm trying to keep my focus on things that I can control, while I wait for The Date to be finalized. It'll get here, and then we'll really be headed for success!

3 Weeks Out, Back To Work And Pain
sym38 replied to FattyBoombalatty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just a thought, but at 3 weeks this happened to me and it turned out that I developed lactose intolerance. Every time I drank my protein drink mixed with milk, it made me so sick. I would break out in a sweat, become extremely nauseated and be sick for hours afterward. As soon as it occurred to me that it was the milk and I stopped drinking it, I didn't have any more problems. I hope this helps!! Keep us posted!! -
Too Much? 6 days post op
Inner Surfer Girl replied to NoMoreWeightNJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What is your protein goal? When I was on clear and full liquids I didn't go to bed until I finished all my protein for the day. If you are short of your goal by all means have another shake or yogurt. Do what it takes to meet your goal. -
I use premier protein from SAMs club ( Costco also sells them) I use to use the go lean but I don't like them post op.

Here is my blog about what my band does for me. What does my band do for me? - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum Remember cravings and hunger are two completely different beasts. If you can get the bread, pasta, rice or potatoes out of your system the cravings will decrease. If you are truely hungry 2 hours after eating then you need to concentrate on eating 3oz of sollid protein first and then your veggies and you need a fill. Hang in there. When you get to the sweet spot you will finally realize what all the happy shouting is about. -
Dr. Kelly: Laura is AWESOME!
sirensiren replied to sirensiren's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
That is lovely Janiadurl! I didn't have the pleasure of booking my appointment with her back in November 2011 when I had surgery, but had I- I would have felt MUCH better about surgery and let her talk to my husband. (Though the coordinator I went through was fine, they were hard to get ahold of consistently, and I felt like I was being sold on surgery, and that same coordinator was quick to slander Dr. Kelly's name as soon as he broke ties with her company. They also made false promisses about the accommodations I'd be getting) Lora (not spelled Laura!) clearly comes from a place of genuine compassion and interest in helping others like her, and though it's quite probable she benefits financially from booking surgeries for Dr. Kelly, that feels much more like the outcome of her dedication and authentic love for helping people get VSG rather than her underlying motive. She actually works in the same physical space as Dr. Kelly, which is important to me- I think truly knowing the surgeon you book people with is really important. She functions as an assistant to his work rather than a coordinator- she has a wealth of knowledge, and will share and share and share with you rather than say something to make you happy so you'll get off the phone sooner. Janiadurl: I have to say Dr. Kelly was the best part of my experience, he was warm and visited with me the night before surgery with his little son who he was very affectionate and sweet with, It was nice to see a doctor who was just a human being and could converse with me, person to person. Dr. Kelly saw how scared I was about surgery, and went down the hall to get a patient who had surgery with him just that day to come say hi to me and talk about it, and it was so cool to see how great she was doing just 6 hours out of surgery! The hospital itself was sufficient, and the nurses and staff came in every 1-2 hours to check on me. All the equipment was identical to that in the USA. Anytime I needed something, I pressed a button, and someone was there within minutes. I have known other people who really loved their experience with other doctors in Mexico, but I adore Dr. Kelly. I like that he holds a USA medical license STILL, speaks fluent English (dude was born in Michigan!), and has a background in varied types of internal medicine. I think there are likely many good options, but I really, really loved my experience with Dr. Kelly. He is easy to reach via phone or e-mail, which is also quite reassuring even though he lives in Mexico full time now I believe. -
