    Hi Bostonian. Would love an update. How much have u lost since surgery???
  3. Hi All,
    15 days post opp and 22 lbs lighter. Has anyone experienced the "dunping syndrome" on the sleeve? I thought tere was not supposed to be any? I have been having major plubming issues. All of a sudden I get the sweats, dizzy (feel like I'm gonna faint), nausea, cramping and bowel issues all a the same time. It last 20 mins to a few hours. I have checked what I am eating and there is no rhyme or reason. Anyone had this happen to them?

    Hi
    I think it went as expected. I'm having trouble with the liquid proteins.. nothing is going down well even though they did before. Tons of gas, heartburn and tummy trouble. Talked to the nutritionist who said to dump the whey,casein, milk products and started me on liquidy mushy chicken, eggs or fish...oh joy but I just want something I can eat and not have my stomach seize up. My incisions hardly hurt at all, it's the plumbing. Just goes to show no matter how much you plan, the sleeve has it's own mind.....thanks for asking!
  5. Hi Everyone so I am 4 days out post opp. Well, I wish I couls say that it was a walk in teh park but I would be lying. I ending up have a hernia surgery on top of the sleeve that they had to fix. I had ALOT of pian and they ended putiing me on straight morphine bcause the pain was so bad! I read olot on thei produre and I have been told that this is NOT thenormal so for anyone readingthis that is comtemplating it, with all that said I am so happy I got it done. I feel much better today and as long as I take the medication I feel great! I have been eating my protein drinks and for the first time I really haven't felt hungry! i am just really tired. I ahve already lost 2 and a half pounds. Thanks you to everyone who sent well wishes, it really meant a lot to me. I will keep you posted!

22 lbs and counting...

by bostonian on 09-07-2011 at 06:51 PM
Hi All,
So I had my 1st post opp apt. I am oficailly down 22 lbs in 16 days. Not bad at all. I think all the time how long it took me to lose 10 lbs never mind 22.
I tried on a pair of my "skinny" jeans that have not fit for at least a year and almost fell over when they actually fit and I was not "muffin topping" out the side.LOL. I I feels great to be able to get off the floor and not hav eto huff and puff to do it. I can't wait until I get to my pre-wedding
