November 2018 Sleevers!?!?



Recommended Posts

when were you sleeved?
I don’t live in the states, we don’t have SF gatorade or crystal lite where I live but I shall look for substitutes. I don’t experience the chest tightness when i’m full, I just start to feel a bit nauseated and that’s when I stop. but when i think about it, it seems like I can have a few more bites of food so i’m thinking this may not really be my cue to stop... i’m too scared to find out though haha.
Do they have G2 (Gatorade 2)? That's what I have to drink because I'm so dehydrated. It had half the sugar of regular. Also, I don't know if they have Wal-Mart's where you are, I'm not sure where you live, but they have drink mixes like Crystal light. 5 cals, sugar free.< br>

we only have regular gatorade and there’s no Walmart, sadly (I live in Dubai)

We do have pocari sweat though, I was wondering if anyone on here knows of it or has consumed it post op...

Hi! Yes I do have some anti nausea meds, but am worried I’d be taking them every 6 hours lol. I have Isopure Protein Powder, unflavored. But just thinking of everything else makes me nauseous. 😭

Every six hours would be a lot! I have not tried Isopure, but if it is a clear, maybe you could mix it with some crystal light. I just started using GENEPRO and it is nice to be able to mix it in my crystal light..that way I am getting Protein and liquid at the same time:)

I looked up Pocari Sweat and the problem, I think, is that sugar is the first ingredient. Can you order from Amazon.com? They ship to UAE.

18 days post op and still having major soreness in my 2 large incisions.
One hurts when I basically do anything, bend, twist ect. The other is just a random sharp burning/pulling pain occasionally.
I'm not sure if this is normal to still be having pain [emoji30]
These are the 2 main incisions that we're sewn to muscle.

I had my surgery on the 29 November my scale hasn't moved since the 6 day where I had lost 8 lbs will see if it has moved today. I also didn't think I would stall so early, but they say it's part of the process, so I'm trying to be patient.

I was on the day after you on the 30th, only checking my weight once a week I reckon checking day to day will drive me crazy. Lost 10pounds on week one so will see what week two has in store. Hopefully the scale is still moving :s

Also uve lost a load of weight already relatively so give it time more will come the stats are for once on your side :)

Sorry that's happened to you, I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one. I've been stalled for 10 days now (started 3 days post op) - it blows my mind. Having it happen right after surgery is the worst, that's right when we could really use the motivation of seeing the scale drop

I had my surgery on 11/26. Lost 11lbs, then for the last 4 or 5 days, nothing. You're not alone. But it suuuuucks.

Mine went up 3 pounds on Monday. I attributed it to time of month coming soon and lack of BM.. I resolved issue number 2 ( haha no pun intended) and it went down a pound.. then this morning i stepped on the scale AFTER drinking a 16.9 ounce bottle of Protein Water and was down another pound. I am wondering if i was on a stall, broke it.. or whatnot. I will check again tomorrow. Issue #1 has not self resolved and i was sleeved 31 days ago.. (last time it arrived was night before surgery).. Hopefully i get back on track soon.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
