Gastric Sleeve

Well, my name is Vickie and I had the Bariatric Sleeve on 9/8/14. Everything went well and 17 days later, I feel like a new person. The small meals are unbelievable, but everything is tasty. It's like I never tasted food before. I have lost 22 lbs. Or more. I love my doctor and her staff. I don't know what to expect, but I'm looking forward to my new goal weight of 170 lbs. if not more. <3. :)

are you feeling much hunger?

Thanks for the update from September. May I ask how much you have lost thus far? I lost 19 pounds in the 12 day liquid pre-op and total since surgery on September 2 have lost another 29 pound for a total of 48 pounds. I can't do the protein drinks so now on mushy food until 8 weeks out so. I am only getting around 320 calories but now up to about 39g protein. I think loss is good but worries about the protein and calorie intake.

Yay, Alfie. I'm so excited for you. It's much easier than I thought. But you have to take care of yourself, stay hydrated and eat 3 meals & snacks. Good Luck.

TY Alfie. I thought of cancelling minutely and just sort of let the Universe guide. I just can't believe how good I'm doing. But, you suddenly realize you just had surgery 3.5 weeks ago and need to take it easy. I can honestly tell you that it's the best decision you ever made. My clothes used to be so tight. Now, they r comfortable and loose. Keep me posted as we have connected and I want to know how you're doing. Nice to meet you. The most important thing is that you eat enough Protein. Never ever thought about it before. You will be Enlightened by this experience.
