Surgery weight 261

Todays weight 253

So far 26 pounds lost.

I went for my 4 week checkup today, and can move to soft foods now. Dr said I'm doing great. I was on cloud 9. Then I went to the NUT and she scolded me for my choice of protein shake and my intake. I use a ready made because it's easy for on the go. It's 30g of protein. I told her it's hard to drink 80g in a day. She wasn't sympathetic. Ugh! I don't like her grrr

Starting weight 6 months before surgery on clinica weight loss program -207, before preop diet- 184, weight on surgery date (9/18) 178, current weight- 164

4week follow up- starting weight 296, now 265.

I'm getting really bored with food I'm eating. Soup goes down much easier but i want something different but soft foods kinda bothers me.

I was 296 pre-surgery, day before surgery 286 current weight 260. I do really soft scrambled eggs, dark chicken covered in fat free gravy. I have problems getting it down too sometimes but I find that if you sit straight up or stand and take a bite rest, take a bite and so on, it is a lot easier. Good Luck!!

I had my surgery 9/17/13- Revision lapband to sleeve.

Weight day of surgery: 260

Today weight: 253

Up and walking as much as possible. Still having gas pains in left shoulder about to drive me crazy. Do now know why but know all I keep reading about is complications and so fearful of a leak. However I have no abdominal pain' date=' fever, nausea or vomiting. Is anyone else experiencing the same fears?[/quote']

Yes I'm def having the same fears just had mine nearly two weeks ago I'm only having liquid still but am even scared I'm going to drink to much & it may burst!

I am 5 weeks out. I know you feel uneasy now but as long as you follow the liquids and the purée protocol you will be fine

Thank you. It's prob harder to do than just drink a bit to much but still scared!!!!

Maybe you can talk to your dr or nutritionist and they can advise you. Hang in there

I was sleeved 9/16. Starting weight 264, surg date 241, day I left the hospital 249 (yes, 8 lbs of IV fluids), I lost 22 lbs in the first two weeks (227) and have been stalled for the last 3.5 weeks. So frustrated. Exercising, eating low carb high protein. Keep thinking "I did this for 20 lbs?" Nutritionist wants me on metformin for insulin resistance (I'm not diabetic) and said to try GTF Chromium. Anyone else use GTF Chromium?

Weight at 1st Surgeons visit on June 18 : 513. Weight at Sept. 3rd surgery: 465 Weight today (7.5 weeks post op): 428 Down exactly 85 pounds from surgical consult. The sleeve was the best thing I have ever done. You feel full with such small amounts and I feel so much better physically and mentally. Still have a long ways to go but I am in the right direction,,,,,never to turn back!!!!!

I haven't taken the Chromium but I was on Metformin for the past 3 years to help me lose weight - I am not a diabetic either, but weight loss effects are an off-label usage for that drug. It worked for the first 2 years, then seemed to stop working for me, which was fine since I planned surgery anyway.
