Anyone Getting Sleeved In Bakersfield,ca



Recommended Posts

I'm doing ok....it's been a huge adjustment but in time it will be good. I'm on soft foods now and sometimes it's difficult but I need my nutrition. Another thing I find difficult is getting all my fluids. Trying to balance the drinking and eating has been trying but I will get it one of these days. Came back to work this week so very glad it's the weekend! Thanks for asking! How are you?

How have you done weight wise???

Well...I don't regret the surgery but the first few weeks have been difficult. I know a lot of others who say it gets better and just to hang in there. As far as pain from the surgery....almost none at all...not even bad gas pains. I consider myself lucky for that. Didn't even need any of the pain meds they sent me home with. My stomach is still swollen and can't wait til it gets back to feeling normal. I have found that Tomato Soup and sugar free pudding sit best in my tummy. As far as weight....when I started the class in October I was 236....one week after surgery on feb 25th I weighed in at 181 :-)

At 5'3.5" I would love to get as low as 130. I haven't been back to the gym yet but should be going back soon. FYI...Dr. Irani is awesome! He really takes the time to explain things and makes you feel at ease....

He only had me on the pre op liquid diet for one week. I had lots of broth, Isopure Protein and Water. It was probably the hardest thing I had to do. I will never have chicken broth again! I was bad and cheated on my 4th day but got back on the wagon.

The weight loss has been worth it. I went back to work and realized none of my work cloths don't fit anymore! I'm waiting for the swelling in my tummy to go down before I start shopping.

Hang in there. I know how hard it is but there is a light at the end of this tunnel!

Dr Irani is great!! Since Oct-jan I only lost 12 the whole 3 month thing just didn't really work. My body gets adjusted n accustomed too quick and then doesn't work. From feb 25- march 6 (10 days) i lost 17 pounds. Since surgery mar 6th I've only lost 5. Bummed I'm only at 5 pounds :( but in reality I've lost 22 pounds in18 days.

I haven't lost any in almost 2 weeks. I heard that's normal due to swelling and fluids. I'm ok with that. I know it will start coming off again. Wow...22 pounds in 18 days is amazing! I will weigh in a couple days and see if I lost any...

22 .bs in 18 days??? Remarkable! Can you imagine gaining 22 lbs in 18 days??? Weight loss is waaay faster than weight gain and that's where our focus should be! Great job!

Lol thanks!! The inches are coming off just as fast. Which I'd rather lose those anyway lol! The upside to losing slowly is less sag and better skin!!

I think I could be. I'm still not able to eat much so I'm just kinda stuck right now. But I'm not worried at all. I'm still in recovery mode.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
