July Sleevers----Where Ya At? :-)



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on July 31st. I have lost 33 pounds so far. This is the best thing I have ever done. My fingernails have grown a huge amount since my surgery & I feel healthier also. I went to my 1st Weight loss support group last night. It was awesome. Everyone there had the sleeve' date=' lap band or gastric bypass.[/quote']

That is too funny my fingernails are super long too. I was sleeved on July 30th :-)

My doctor was surprised that my fingernails grew so much after my surgery. Do you know why they grew so much? I have never had long fingernails in my life. Maybe I was lacking in Protein before my surgery and didn't realize it.

Do you take Biotin? It causes nail to grow as well as hair.

Yes I do twice a day. I had been taking it before my sleeve however my fingernails started growing after my sleeve. After my sleeve I started drinking 45 grams of Protein with my Water every day. Plus the Protein that I eat. Could it be the protein?

I was sleeved on July 4th at 199 pounds. Today I weighed in at 170!!! Started at a tight size 14-16, just cleaned out my closet and brought out all my size 10's!

Looking forward to single digit clothes size and a healthy BMI.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
