The GI test the day after your sleeves?



Recommended Posts

It's not terrible, but I failed. The doc said there was just a trickle going through and he couldn't be sure everything was good. My surgeon, though, said thatsince I was downing my liquids and shakes that I was good to go. Happily, he was right!

It ain't an orange whip, so don't expect anything you'll order a second round of. ;)

I didn't have one. My surgeon doesn't do them because he's never had a leak and figures it isn't worth putting people through that unless there is a reason to. That made me nervous at first but after hearing about it, I'm glad. I'm sure it'll be fine though. Just another small step in the process. [emoji3]

Just had it on Tuesday. It was an awful, bitter drink and you have to drink about an ounce of it. Horrible! They gave me some Water to swish in my mouth after they took the pictures. Just really really bad. But I was able to start drinking after, so it was worth it!

The pre-op was terrible. They gave me something that made my stomach larger and omg ridiculous cramps and discomfort. They gave me some fizzy drink, ew. And one chalky one. That was terrible. You swallowed and it was still all around your mouth. Post op, was only 2 I think.

      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.

        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
