My Texas Sleevers



Recommended Posts

@@ellekay - I went the hernia route with Dr Adam Smith. He has an office in Fort Worth and I'm not sure if he has an office in Dallas.

I don't have hypothyroid issues.

I had Dr. Adam Smith as well and he does not have a Dallas office. I live in Irving and drove to Ft. Worth for all of my appointments. Would have been nice if he did have an office closer.

95lbs down and 4 months post op :)

Dallas! Dr. Nicholson did my sleeve on 5/18. Except for a sore left incision, this has been much easier than I expected. I am on a "regular" diet now. Now I just have to figure out this new way of eating. LOL.

I wish I had specific tips that give me great success. I'd actually probably say that I don't deserve such success.

I just listen to my stomach and body. I stop eating the moment I feel my full feeling. And I weigh myself everyday and plan my food according to how the scale is doing. Always eat my Protein first. I do indulge though. I won't lie. I have half of a small snocone every weekend. I also have a Fitbit to encourage myself to walk more.

Maybe it's because I'm 29? So my age is helping me out? I'm not sure. I'm very thankful for the success I've had so far though.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
