Hi I'm Amanda and new to the forum. I'm excited my date to talk with my surgeon is tomorrow Nov 12. I have gotten through my 7 month physician monitored diet. I have been approved by my insurance and my date is set for Nov 30th. I'm so excited. Hope to get to learn a lot from others experiences and make some sleever friends on this forum.

Hi! I am going November 23, so right ahead of ya!

That is great! Has it been a pleasant process for you? Are you nervous?

Hi! I'm also new here. I had my sleeve Nov. 9th, and it is going well.

Yay! I'm almost there one more day.. surgery Nov 30th..so excited

My surgery is the same day as yours Amanda! 36 hours from now they'll be wheeling me in!

Yay.. I'm glad someone has the same day as me! ????

Best of luck!

I made it home.. I'm 2 days post open now..doing pretty good so far. Had some soreness in the actually site but nothing past that. Only thing I had problems with was my vitamins they didn't stay down.. will try again in a day or so again. I'm pretty swollen so I don't have loss to report yet.

We're all going to be swollen for a while but as we heal we'll start seeing our losses.

Congrats! That's normal. Just try again. Glad your recovery is going well so far!!

I had my surgery November 10 and have been able to eat just about everything in small bites. I am having a problem eating more Protein than carbs and don't know what to do. There is only so much chicken and cottage cheese and lean meat I can eat....Help I have thrown away some clothes but the weight loss is so slow.

Today is 10 weeks since surgery and my weight loss is very slow and I am getting depressed . Made a appointment to see somebody about this but I wonder if anybody else feels the same ?

My weight loss has been slow also. I asked my doctor office about it they said everyone is different.. and to be careful not to drink your carbs

Amanda dont get me wrong I am glad that I have my sleeve and that I am at this point now where I am over the nausea but I am always hungry. Especially in the afternoon. I don't know if this is normal.

I had my surgery one week after you. I just came off a 3 week stall and am so excited to be losing again. When you say your weight loss is very slow what do you mean.

I'll be 10 weeks out this week and have lost 39.5 pounds. That 3 weeks of not losing definitely had made a difference. Still it is 40 lbs and my clothes are all getting baggy.

We all drop weight differently. Does your Dr feel it's a problem?

In order to get your protein in try having a 30g Protein Drink for Breakfast. That should ramp up your protein. I put 1/2 of a frozen banana in my chocolate Premier Protein from costco in my nutribullet with 3 ice cubes and I love it.

Keep up the good work!!

SassyNanny,

I have also lost the same amount as you I just saw my surgeon last Thursday and had all my blood work done . My bloodwork came out good except I need more Protein .

I have thrown out a lot of clothes and yes clothes do fit me big but I guess I was hoping to of lost more than I have.

I do also have premier shakes but per my nut I will start having a shake at least 1 time a day.

I have not been able to attend a supporting yet but I will this month. Have you attended any support groups ?
