    Post how the post-op diet goes for you. That is the one thing that I am worried about getting through.
  14. You are welcome. I feel we all need as much support as we can possibly get.

by Saulady on 01-20-2015 at 07:04 AM
Tomorrow I will got for my year post op appt. I am scared that the scale will not be nice to me. I am as of today 11 lbs from goal. I have been stuck in a 3-4 lb yoyo for a couple months and this past week I have cut out all bread/pasta and anything else that I feel may be bad.
I love toast but know bread is bad for us, it would be easier if my sleeve didn't likenevery thing.

7 mos post op/ 1 yr

by Saulady on 08-26-2014 at 11:04 AM
I am now 7 mos post op and have lost 65 lbs since surgery. June 2013 I weighed around 280, Nov 2013 265, Jan 28th (day of surgery)248 and today 183.
My goal weight is 160, dr said 158 but I rounded it to 160 which is less than I weighed when I was 17.
The end of Sept will mark a year since I began this long journey as that is when I went to the informational meeting, met with surgeon Nov 5th, 2013 had surgery Jan 28, 2014.
It has been a up/down hill journey but one I would

6 mos post op

by Saulady on 07-23-2014 at 06:55 AM
I went to my 6 mos post op appt Monday and in the past 3 mos I lost 16 lbs which put me at 189 lbs. Granted not where I was hoping to be but I am happy with my success this far. The nurse was happy that my BMI was 28 at 6 mos out and they want my BMI to be 24. Then the nut told me that of the 16 I lost that 14 was fat, which made me even happier.
I still am not really exercising but am on the move most of the day. Kids are out of school for the summer and with 2 of them having ADHD knowing

Onederland!!!

by Saulady on 05-15-2014 at 07:04 AM
Sunday was the first day I know I hit onederland, I got out my old scale and used it and compared it to my digital scale. Today I weighed and I am 198 lbs.
I think I am going to buy a new battery for another scale (and hope it reads correctly) I have that is digital so I can get a picture of it.
I uped my fluid intake by using some protein samples that I got, Pro-Stat they are sugar free 100 calories and 15 grams protein. I add the 1 oz to 16 oz ice water and drink couple of them
