Hello Out There August 2016 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I have no idea... Just the Campbell's cream of Tomato and cream of mushroom made with skim milk. I've only had 1 serving a day though.

Mine hasn't changed as much as yours. I was 301.7 on 8/9 DOS and have been at 294.3 for the last 3 days lol I guess my body is angry. Are you on only clears? I can have Protein shakes and strained cream Soups, too. And AF started today so that could be another issue, lol!

Out of curiosity are the Soups you are eating carb heavy? Carbs are a concern of mine because I'm a vegetarian

If I were you I'd switch soups. Granted every program is different I admit I'm kind of surprised that you have been cleared for all foods already. I'm looking forward to eating soft food by the end of this week, whoo hoo!

"@@Lee Mag" Canned soups have alot of sodium so you may be retaining fluids.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have full confidence in my surgeon. He's nationally recognized and the director of the program here in Pittsburgh, so I am sure he knows what he is doing. I think all surgeons are just different. He has never had a staple line leak nor death, so I'm going to roll with it. :) But I'm not cleared for all foods. I can have Clear Liquids, Protein Shakes, strained (watery) cream Soups.< /p>

I'm on full liquids and it's been fine! I'm just learning this. I'm sure there is an easier way with the app, but I signed up on my computer with Facebook and can't figure out how to login to the app since it doesn't give me a FB option. So I just use the browser on my iPhone. If you click the post, it will say "Quote". That's how I did it. If I get time today, I might get on my computer and figure it all out better. I have 3 small girls, so we shall see if I do get time. LOL!

Cool hows the liquid diet going. Exercising?? .. Quick question how do like posts and how do u reply to a specific post like that.

Thanks

You will do great! I haven't had any issues with being dizzy aside from once this weekend when I ran up my steps too fast.

My poor belly is all bruised, lol. I have to give myself Lovenox injections because I had a pulmonary embolism 4 years ago after the birth of my youngest daughter. So I'm on those for 4 weeks post surgery. So keep walking! It's good to keep moving. :) wouldn't wish that on anyone!!!

I don't know the official answer except I've been sleeping on my belly since the 3rd night, careful not to slide around at all. It's been great and got all of my lingering gas out. Haha I would say follow your body/pain. I don't have any and haven't been on meds since DOS.

My doctor strongly recommends that we try to take in at least 64oz. per day. Initially it was hard for me, only being able to take in sips at a time. But, now (13 days post op), I feel like I can drink like I used to without a problem. I’m able to drink 20oz of Protein in about 30-45 minutes.

Ok so I have a question. How many ounces do y'all drink at a time?

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
