Band to Sleeve February 23rd



Recommended Posts

Tired of my weight with Hypothyroidism Hashimotos i needed extra help!! So like other people I had the band 2009 2 years ago I took out all my fluids and just recently converted to Sleeve. Thank God I did Dr. said I was a mess inside!! Band wasn't for me too tight or too loose!! Feeling pretty good so far but my Dr. wants 1 month of liquids, 2nd month pureed but I can't wait 3 weeks is long enough! I know it's wrong but I feel like I know how to eat slow, eat alittle and really chew my food!! Anybody else know what I'm talking about?

why is recommended so much on each stage it's usually only 2 weeks of each before food. But if he says so i would follow the protocol maybe since you said your stomach was a mess when he went in its probably going to take a little more time.

No he recommends it for all his patients well for 1 to lose alot of weight I think and also safety but no one else recommends that I've talked to or read on...

How does it feel when you eat too much? Do you just measure,and that's it?

Well i am not sleeved yet i have the band i read that you are to eat 2 - 4 ounces of food per meal with dense Protein first than your veggies some people i read can handle that and some people just stop when they feel full and i think thats too late First i would probably follow what he is saying i agree with the weight lost being alot and if u cant take it anymore start very little food. are yo on liquids or puree?

My Dr gave me the same diet but I spoke to a fellow sleever and she told me that her nutritionist Todd her to start solids as soon as possible but to take it slowly. Chewing slowly and making sure to take your time doing it too. I've been tracking my calories and making sure to never go over the 500 calories and I never go over the 4 ounces even if I don't feel full

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
