Your Recommendations In Prep For The Sleeve...



Recommended Posts

I am currently doing my 6 mo supervised diet. Struggling, as with every diet in the past. But, I would like to use this 6 months to start changing habits that will need to change for after I am sleeved. I have a list of things so far that I want to work on one step at a time, but I would like to hear from those of you who have already been there. So, what do you wish you had done the 6 months prior to surgery to prepare for the changes you needed to make after surgery? Or, what did you do that you KNOW made a world of difference in your success after being sleeved?

Thank you in advance for your input. :)

You've probably heard these, but here's a list of things I did and wish I had did more!

•Drink lots of Water, get used to it

•stop drinking soda, lower caffeine intake

•don't drink during meals (easier said than done)

•try different Protein Shakes, don't buy in bulk...your taste may change

•start walking and keep walking

•take pictures weekly, you'll be amazed at the results!

•don't "live by the scale, die by the scale", limit your weigh-ins

•vitamins, Vitamins,vitamins!

•don't eat late at night, set goals to gradually lower your night eating

•many small meals, not a few big meals

•get small containers, baggies, shake containers, blender, food scale

Hope this helps! Good luck on your journey!

Take your measurements (inches) before surgery. I didnt do this and sooo regret it now, coz I cant say for sure how much my inch loss is..

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
