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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
