January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Ok...I'm hungry...starving a little....sooooo I chewed a piece of baked chicken about 30 times and swallowed....nothing happened. My sleeve accepted it very well. I am 9 days postop' date=' but so know that I didn't eat another piece...Ughhh[/quote']

Don't feel guilty I did the same thing with fish not bc I was hungry. Its mental for me. I don't feel hungry anymore my stomach just makes weird noises or moves a lot. I am 24 days out from surgery and I cannot get Protein in to save my life the shakes make me gag...long story...but you will know if you have over done it you feel it in your chest.

I' be been freezing since surgery!

I am right there with you. I am normally the hot one... But since starting the pre op diet and surgery I have noticed that I get cold very easy. I have been told it is due to not eating as much fat

Right now, I am required to drink 32oz Of Water and 40 to 60gm of protein....with my Protein Shake, its 60gm when I mix it with 8oz of water...I get that in by noon, and the water is smooth sailing...I am drinking Isopure or flavored water during the day and drinking my chicken broth...today I will switch some things around and see if I can work something out...because I have truly been hungry since surgery, lots of head hunger and lots of stomach hunger too...ughhhh

Yes I am getting it in....I decided not to try it again because I want to stay on track because I am losing weight real fast...but I must come to some kind of happy medium because I am truly hungry and I thought I wasn't supposed to feel this kind of hunger all the time. I will talk to my doctor and discuss if I need another type of ppi or something..i start back to work in almost 2 weeks, I want to have it all together when I return back to work.

My surgery is scheduled for January 7th and I was wondering if there are any others schedule for the big day in January 2013 ...?

Hello, my name in Jon I'm 38 married with two great kids! I had surgery on 01-23-2013! I am currently down 30#! I had surgery at Fletcher Allen In burlington Vermont.

My 3 week post op doctors appointment will be on the 14th of February. So far I am very optimistic about the surgery! My surgeon Dr. Patrick Fagione has been the BEST along with the entire staff at FAHC bariatric center!

They do according to my doc, but some people have problems with them if they're overcooked because they can get a bit rubbery.

I'm on my third week and just moving to soft food. I have been on liquids for all two weeks plus the one week prior to surgery.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
