Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

Thank you so much to everyone that has responded. I've peeked here a few times over the last few months hoping to read something that motivated me, but finally decided to post this week when my...

I was sleeved in March 2011, 15 months ago. I was doing GREAT until November. By that time I had lost 94 lbs in the first 8 months, gone from a 22/24 to a size 14. I've lost nothing since. I've...

I ate an avacado for dinner the other night and then paniced when I realized how many calories it had in it! But, on the positive side, one avacado was my entire dinner!

I was sleeved in March and got off track once school started. I went crazy eating anything in the teacher's lounge and all the Halloween candy I could get. I also started "needing" a bedtime snack...

I was sleeved in March and my hair started falling out in about July. By the time summer was over, I couldn't even use any of my old pony tail bands! They were all too big! It started slowing down...

It seems like my hair is all over the house. Everything I touch has my hair on it. I have started to stress so much about it that I feel like it is getting worse because of my stress! I read about...

I'm almost 4 months out and have been losing my hair in the last few weeks. Help!!! I get at least 60 - 70 grams of protein 6 out of 7 days a week and drink the water I should. I take gummy...

I am a week past 3 months post op and am in the middle of my 2nd 2+ week stall in weight loss. No big deal, I guess. My bigger problem is that I am always tired and grumpy. I'm just not happy in...

Surgery date 3/11/11 - next week will be 3 months. Haven't started working out yet. 54 lbs down.

I am 39 and was sleeved on 3/11/11. I teach first grade and haven't noticed anything so far but a better attitude and more energy.

I am 7 weeks out as well. My doctor told me between 600 - 800 a day. I hit 1000 about every other Saturday when I splurge a little going out to eat. I get at least 60 grams of protein every day by...

I've felt this same way all along. I am 7 weeks out and 40 lbs down, so I know it is working. But, I've been able to eat more than I should since about the 2nd week. I have felt that "Oh my...

I have no clue how big (or small) mine is. I hope I remember to ask when I go back in June! I do know I get hungry more than I thought I would. It seems more so lately than in the very beginning.

I was sleeved 3/11 - 5 weeks ago today and am down 33 pounds as of a few days ago. I payed cash too and didn't have to do a pre-op diet, so all my weight loss is since surger day. I went from 2...

I had my sleeve on 3/11 so we are at the same point, but I started out much heavier than you! I love every minute of this process. Truly a blessing.

I'm a month out today and feel like I can eat alot more than I thought I would be able to. I can eat a 4 oz can of chicken (with mayo) and a handful of Special K crackers and be absolutely fine. ...

I was sleeved on 3/11 too. As of a few days ago, I had lost 30 lbs. I haven't weighed in a few days because I'm so (that time of the month) bloated! My problem is actually the opposite of both of...

I've had tuna a few times, but chicken salad was better. Yes, lots of mayo makes it better!

Got mine the night before surgery. Gave me something to think about the 2 days in the hospital besides the sleeve! And, it made me get up and go to the bathroom more often than I probably would...

My doctor had me do liquids for a week - including cream soups. I found I could blend up most anything and add a bit of chicken broth and turn it into creamy mush!! Then I moved on to soft foods...

I went to Dr Kim several times and changed my mind last minute to use a different doctor. I did find his staff to be friendly. I am 3 1/2 weeks out and wouldn't change a thing! My doctor didn't...

I am drinking a ton of water. I always have, even before surgery. I am always right at 800 calories for the day, 70ish protein and about 80 oz of water. So, according to that it is perfect. I...

My doctor said he uses a little gadget that uses tiny, tiny staples (half the size or more of normal staples) and goes back and forth to seal it. After a while the scar tissue forms over the staples...

I had my surgery on Friday and came home on Sunday morning. I took off the next week, Spring Break, and went back the next Monday, so 10 days. I was fine the Monday after I came home. I cleaned...
