I was sleeved 10/23 at South Nassau Hospital. At 7 weeks out now feeling pretty good. Still need to do a better job at getting Protein and Water. Do not really feel hunger. It's more of a chore to eat and not that enjoyable either.

I'm feeling pretty good antbarrella. Trying to get all my fluids and Vitamins in. Doing better with Protein. I went back to work a week after surgery and find I have to remind myself to drink and eat. You were at south Nassau on nov 20th?

I'm a Long Island sleever, too! Dr. Ahmad at Mather Hosp. Port Jeff. on Oct. 11, 2012. so far I've lost 68.5 lbs. since starting Pre-op diet in Aug. (-46 since surgery). I feel great but meals are a struggle since I still cant tolerate more than 4 oz or 1/4 cup max. volume solid foods. Creamy foods are better, can have at least 1/2 cup of creamed Soups, yogurt, pudding or milk which seems to satisfy me more than a few bites of solids. Does anyone go to suport group meetings?

I live in Franklin Square LI, but I was sleeved in Manhattan. I wish there was a support group at 7pm on LI. I know there is one at 630 at Winthrop but that's too early since I work in the city. Do you guys know of any later groups?

Hi all, I haven't been here in a while because I feel ashamed of myself. I feel like such a failure. I was sleeved on July 11 and have only lost 54 lbs. I cheat all the time and am back to my unhealthy behaviors. I started out at 271lbs went down to 217lbs and am now fluctuating between 217 and 222 lbs. I need to get back on track or else this was all for nothing and a big fat waste. Please help me get back on track!!!!

Why don't you call your doctors office and ask for an appointment with the nutritionist to try and get back on track.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
