Any August 2017 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm 58 and my surgery is monday. I worry about saggy skin but I know a healthier me will be worth it. I can't wait to take control of my body once and for all.

I'm hearing you loud and clear! I'm 54 and finally taking control of my body, my health and my life! The saggy skin does worry me a bit but You can hide most of that with good support garments I guess [emoji12]My surgery was on Tuesday and I am doing great! Sore of course but tolerating liquids with ridiculous ease!! I'm averaging 1.5 litres per day and No reflux... yay

I'm scheduled for Aug 16th, which is Tuesday so I'm almost there!

The liquid diet isn't too bad but still have the urge to crunch something!

Mostly missing salads.

I'm just heading down from the nutrition consult. Sounds like I was approved but my social skills are **** so who can say?

Last night, was my second night with my new C-PAP machine and I could only stand it for two hours with the bloody mask on. God, I hope this surgery helps abate my obstructive sleep apnea.

Oh, honey! Last night was my third night . . . so far, I've managed 3.7, 3.9, and 3.9 hours. The first night I knew I didn't have the straps on right and I looked at all three of the booklets I was given--nope, nothing about the straps. (Figured it out by looking online.)

I'm counting on the surgery (mine's the 28th) helping with this. Who dreamed up this torture?

Does anyone know if propel Water is ok to drink 3-4 days post sleeve?

Check the label, but when I googled it, it said 6.9 grams of carbs and 0 grams of Protein, so I'm guessing it's not the best choice. I'd suggest either Water by itself, water with Crystal Light for flavor with no calories, or protein water--there are quite a few different kinds.

I was told to hydrate for the first week, and allowed propel, g2, Vitamin Water zero, or crystal light additive for water to help me get at least 64 oz. in everyday. You don't want to get dehydrated, and hydration is more important than Protein for the first week as lack of protein for 1 week will not land you in the emergency room. I hope this helps.

My nut and surgeon told me for the first week I can have some regular Gatorade as the bacteria in my gut will need some carbs to feed on to remain healthy as other food would be limited. But only the first week. I guess it all depends on your surgeon and nutritionist.

      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! 😞
