Hi guys! It has been a long time since I have checked in. I got so busy with life and work - that I have been completely out of touch. You know how that goes. It has been 9 months since I had surgery...
I hope my end result is as fantastic as yours! Here is my progress so far - 114 days and 68 pounds.28221
Thanks all. I figured I was just being impatient and I am happy to see that my progress seems to be on par with others. My doctor is definitely calorie obsessed and constantly tells me to keep the...
Hi All. It has been around 113 days (just shy of 4 months) since I had surgery and I am down 67 pounds. Lately I am struggling. The scale is creeping down slower than it ever has. I am smaller than I...
Hi guys. Its been a while since I checked in. Overall, I am doing well. I have lost 52 pounds since surgery, so I am pretty happy with that. Its been 75 days since surgery. I don' t know if that is...
Hi All. I just thought I would check in and report my good news! I am 50 days post op and 45 pounds down today! I feel like I have an extremely long way to go, but I am very happy with my progress so...
Thanks I will definitely check them out! Appreciate the help!
Hi guys - I saw the nutritionist today, first time post-op! She said its time to start my multivitamin. I had a chewable centrum but she said that is not good enough. I need to get some bariatric...
Hi There. From someone who just now got out of the puree phase, I feel your pain! I got so sick of my protein shakes. Let me tell you what my lifesaver was.
Protein Smoothies. I literally got...
Small victory today, after 14 long days of no progress, I weighed in this morning another 3 pounds down. Three pounds has never felt so gratifying. Its funny, I lost 30 pounds on full liquids,...
HI there. I am in the same boat as you. I am in the pureed stage and my doctor has asked me to not move out of it until I see him again. Which is not until Jan 16!. That means I moved from liquid to...
Hi fellow sleevers! I am now 17 days into my sleeve journey and am a glorious 30 lbs down! That progress is amazing! I love(d) stepping on the scale and seeing 1-2 pounds drop every morning. My acid...
Actually, yes, thanks for asking! I talked with my doctor yesterday, and he suggested that I stop all meds except the OTC gaviscon. He said we would review a different PPI today. But I didn't...
Thanks for this. A little light at the end of this acidic tunnel is what I was hoping for. The doc put me on PPI twice a day. And said it could take up to two weeks to kick in. Two weeks feels like...
That was my first instinct on Friday, but when I went and got checked- everything is “fine”. Maybe I am just dramatic. Or am not giving the protonix time to kick in. My surgeon seemed unconcerned...
Hi guys. On Tuesday this past week, I had gastric sleeve surgery. I have been so excited to get this done and have been so ready to start the rest of my life!
BUT
I am absolutely miserable. I...
Hi my name is Dottie! I am 33 and I had sleeve surgery just 5 days ago. I am excited about this new journey and am ready to see progress!
