  1. Hi! My surgery is still a week from today. Pre-op is going......well....ok I guess LOL I want to eat more but have been so carefull, don't want to jeopardize anything. Told my mom at lunch I wanted a Big Mac...she had no sympathy for me LOL that's how she is, very matter of fact. I didn't really want the Big Mac, it was just sort of symbolic or something weird like that.

    Hi Daphne, I just saw your message sorry. I am from Fort Mac I was sleeved July 22nd in Montreal by Dr. Michel Gagner, so far I am down 64 lbs since surgery How are you doing? Where did you get sleeved?
  3. Hi Adair,
    I haven't been as diligent on the site for a bit. I took a fall and ended up on crutches... I'm a bit of a klutz . I'm down 25 lbs now. I've had a bit of a stall, which I'm trying not to be frustrated about... but, I am. My clothes fit better and my family is noticing the loss. Are you feeling nervous? You'll do great! Who's your dr?
  4. Hi Daphne, good to hear from you again! I'm 21 days to surgery today! I've started working my way into my pre-op diet the past couple weeks. Saturday this week is when I have to begin and be completely serious about it. Its getting close but still feels so far away at the same time.

    How are you doing? Last we chatted you were 23 lbs down after three weeks. Hope all is well.

    Adair
  5. Thanks for the welcome! Look forward to sharing the journey!
  6. Congrats on the loss so far! That's exciting! Things are good here, I am "im"patiently waiting for my date.
  7. We have a lot in common, i am 46, two grown kids, boys 25 and 21. My surgery date is November 11. 38 days away....yikes! My one sister has had the sleeve and I went along with her. I wish I would have done it then, but I was too scared still. She has had a great recovery, I hope I'm blessed with the same, I am a real suck when it comes to pain and can't take a whole bunch of time off work. I have an office job though so I should be ok.
  8. Nice to "meet" you Daphne. My son lives in Saskatoon too. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time about my sleeve, but can't stand living like this anymore. My knees hurt so bad and I am so uncomfortable. Like everyone else, I have tried every diet imaginable with little or no success. I need to succeed at something!

    I am happy it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The best thing is I do not feel like I am on a diet. I eat what I want just not so much. Please free to contact me about any questions you may have. About support I had no trouble or issues so I really didn't need much support when ever I thought something was not right or had questions I returned to this forum or I could have emailed the doctor. I never really had to email the doctor is as I never had any medical issues or concerns that were not answered when I checked the forum. I do know another person here who also had the same doctor and she did email and had all her concerns dealt with by the doctor. Also my own doctor here in Calgary supported my decision to go for the surgery.

need advice or encouragement

by Daphne on 10-21-2013 at 12:08 PM
hi All,
Tomorrow it will be 4 weeks since my surgery. The first week was great. I dropped 19 lbs. The next week I gained 2! The following week I lost 6. Then I sprained my ankle and couldn't weigh for almost 2 weeks. I only lost 2 lbs! I'm tracking my food and only eating 6-800 calories per day, I'm drinking water. It's been 4 weeks and I've lost 25 lbs. I'm watching people on this site and their weight seems to just drop off. I want this so bad! Help....

When am I hungry?

by Daphne on 10-01-2013 at 08:36 PM
This may sound like a dumb question but, I'm hoping it's not. I don't really know when to eat. When am I hungry? I don't know what signals I'm supposed to be looking for. Do I wait until my stomach growls? It seems to rumbling a lot lately, so not sure if that's the best approach. Has anyone else had to learn this? It seems like something so basic... I need advice, help, anything...

Didn't lose...

by Daphne on 10-01-2013 at 01:32 PM
Hi, I started my gastric sleeve journey at 235 lbs. I am currently 2 weeks since my surgery. Last week, I was down to 216lbs and was so excited! My husband has commented that he can see I'm slimming down, my son hugged me on Sunday and commented that I felt skinnier... But, I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm up 2 lbs! Is that normal? It's hard not to get discouraged, especially since I'm still hardly eating anything, and I'm sipping water all day long. Any advice?
