My gastric sleeve story! Surgery on 12/5/17



Recommended Posts

Your highest weight and goal weight is similar to mine. I’m glad you feeling normal again. It’s a long road but definitely worth it! I’m almost 4 months out and down to 168 from a highest weight of 235, my surgery weight was 218 so we are really close to the same weight loss. I wish you the best on your journey! It’s exciting times ahead for you! Not to mention it’s so much more fun shopping for clothes! Sale racks and thrift shops are my friends! Take care!

Hey. Your numbers sound awesome! I am exited about the journey. I ate tuna today and it was a mistake OH THE NAUSEA!!! But is a trial and error thing I have to relearn how my tummy works.

I'm very surprised that your doctor is allowing you to eat all those Proteins, my diet from week 1-2 will consist of pretty much of liquids except for cream of wheat made very thin with skim milk. Then on weeks 3-4 start on pureed food, then on week 5 I can start having some chicken and turkey but it still has to be pureed, and finally after 8 weeks I should be able to start eating normally.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
