Let's Try Again for Florida Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hello to all,

I am having my sleeve surgery on March 11th and I am very exicted. I am just checking to see if anyone else in the great state of Florida is also having surgery in March. I live near Sarasota and have lived here for about 3 years. I moved to Florida from Pennsylivania and I am loving the beaches and beautiful weather. I started my pre-op diet 7 days ago and have lost 12 pounds so far. If you are interested in making a connection let me know. Hope to hear from you.

Hi there and good luck on your upcoming WLS. No my dr. did not have me do a 2 week liquid pre-op diet. I see that some doctors do. I am amazed at how different these doctors can be. I past week in a half I have been on a liver detox diet using regular food that my dietition told me to eat. Since I am in my last week before my surgery I am not allowed white potatoes, caffeine of any kind ie: coffee, tea, diet soda and candy or anything with chocolate. So, I have been drinking Water, Decaf coffee and tea, water with crytsal light and caffeine free root beer. I sure hope this helps, Since you are still a month away I am sure your surgeon or the dietition that works with your surgeon will be letting you know what to eat the last 2 weeks before your surgery. I sure hope this helps you and if I can help again please let me know. I am here for you. Cheryl

How are you doing with your sleeve? Did you go to Dr Sebastien? I did. I also live in your area as well. Let me know if I can be of assistance. I'm 13+ months out from my sleeve and almost at goal.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
