Any Texas Gastric Sleeve Buddies?



Recommended Posts

I was stalled for a month because I was watching carbs. Went to the doc and she said no no no 800 calories a day or less. I promise you literally the very next day my stall broke wide open. Losing 3 pounds every week for 3 weeks.

They want u eating 800 cals or less??

Yep and it's easy to do. No hunger. It's working for sure.

800 and less put me in a stall. I raised to 1000 and have loststeadily for the last two months. Started slowing again so im doing Atkins to trip things up.

My surgery was done perfectly. I had no need for pain medicine, no throwing up, no issues whatsoever. The preop diet was kind of hard the first few days, but it gets easier as time goes by. Just try to take it easy and not be overly active. You'll be very weak if you do because of your calorie intake. You're lucky to just have a one week preop. Mine was two and they were thinking about three (they crossed that out on my sheet).

I'll be praying for you.

I can tell you I consulted with a few doctors and was wheeled into the OR with complete confidence in my decision of picking Dr Kim. I was anxious to get it over with, but I wasn't the least bit nervous or scared.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
