Starting My Journey 5/28/16

Awesome ThatKaylorGirl!!! I can't wait to see your progress!!! I had my gallbladder removed in 2005, and remember those gas pains all too well. Walking does help... and I used a heating pad when it moved to my shoulders (that can be a little crampy). Best wishes for a quick recovery! Looks like I'll definitely be scheduled in August.

Thanks, jess_ga! I think I'll end up posting my results once a month. I did lose 10 pounds during pre-op dieting, so that was nice. :) good luck in August! Oh, and thanks for the heating pad idea. I wouldn't have thought of that!

So, I'm on day four of post op and doing great! I'm down a total of 13.7 pounds at this point and feel great. I have noticed one thing that I didn't expect...my vision seems to have changed. I'm hoping it has to do with the anesthesia not completely wearing off yet, but has anyone else experienced this? I wear contacts and have worn them for 20 years and have never had this problem. I woke up this morning and thought they were back to normal, but they are getting worse as the day progresses. Thoughts? TIA!

This has nothing to do with sleeve, but my grandpa lost his vision for 6 weeks after a root canal this year as a side effect of anesthesia. I don't know why it happened but his vision did cone back eventually. I'd call your doctor's office right away just in case.

I haven't updated in a little while. I'm three weeks post op today and have hit my first major goal! I started at 224.2 and am now down to 199.7! :) I'm down 24.5 inches and loving myself more and more every day. I have gone from a snug size 16 to a comfortable size 14 in jeans. Will post pics on my one month surgiversary.

Today is my one month surgiversary! I'm down a total of 27.1 pounds, 28.5 inches, and 3.2% body fat. I have 47.1 pounds to lose. I'm not there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday! I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and posting pics.

I started my journey June 25th. It was 2 weeks yesterday. I feel great. No pain, no pain meds, walking every day. I also am self pay. Went extremely fast, after my initial consultation with Dr snow, it was a week and a half and then surgery day. I wouldn't trade doing it for anything. My life starts over now.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
