Looking for July Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am on day 3 of my pre op diet and have only lost 1.4 pounds, hope to see a bigger drop tomorrow. The dr only wanted me to lose 5 to 7 lbs before surgery. I am sure I can do it. I have been having lots of stomach cramps today and Constipation. My surgery is on the 15thmin Los Angeles at usc keck. We have to be there at 5:15 am for surgery at 7:15. This is going to sound totally silly but I am really looking forward to not going to work and taking naps.

July 29th here, i may as well be in the August category. Did 6 months of dietitian visits kept 14 lbs off. I'm sure i'll lose a bunch more during the pre-op 2 week liquid phase that i start next week.

Well surgery is over and im feeling ok. The pain is more from gas because they fill you with gas to see what they are doing. The tiny incisions were glued closed. Feeling optimistic

It's 7 am.. I'm up and ready to get this thing underway.. My surgery is set for 11:00.. I'm anxious..

Trying to primp this morning as much as I can not being able to wear makeup.. LOL.. Seems like that's the last thing I should be thinking about.. But a girl still wants to look as cute as she can!.

I feel like there is a happy ending to a long struggle.. My Son told me it will all be worth it in the end Mom.. I wish good luck to all you sleevers today and tomorrow and the future..

"A NEW HAPPIER HEALTHY YOU"

Thinking of you and hope all went well, can't wait to hear your news! Pain free healing being sent your way!

Well I'm home. It has been ok. I was in a pretty good amount of pain the first 24 hours but morphine always helps. I'm getting down my Water have had 1/2 a Popsicle twice today. I feel that is progress. I'm now off all pain meds just some liquid baby Motrin. It helps with soreness. All in all I believe it was successful. I will post more updates for you guys. <br><br> Denise Sizemore

I had my surgery on Monday and you seem like you're already doing better than me! Rolled over in my sleep last night on to my tummy and I'm definitely paying for it today! Glad to hear you're doing good!(:

All the best,

Mine is scheduled for July 22. I am doing the Optifast now and its ok sometimes but other times I'm starving. I know it will be worth in the end. I'm out of Delaware and insurance is picking up most of it I have to cover 20%.

      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! 😞
