post sleeve

[Guest guest]

Hello group

This is Dano from south Florida.46 years old

I got sleeved 12/4/08 and comfortably back home. It has been 10 days

since surgery and I am healing very well. Here are some of my

experiences so far.

1. I lost exactly 25 lbs in 10 days. pretty amazing .

2. Walking 2 to 3 miles per day. With 1lb wrist weights for

upper body .

3. Drain incision heald over 1st day home and then opened back

up by itself 2 days later like doc said (I called him about it). Now

10 days out it is closed and I took tape off all the other cuts.

4. my nose is running some (sign of cleansing I think).

5. I am not consuming ANY sugar products.

6. I sleep a lot less. I wake up at 3am every morn for some

reason.

7. I can sleep in any position now without discomfort. [ I had

belly button hernia fixed at the same time. saved $4000.00 with that

getting done] .

8. I use 3oz dixie cups and 8oz water bottles with the pop up

spout that helps me to keep track of my intake and I use the empty

ones for all other liquids..

9. every sip sort of hurts going down. Its hard to drink even

small sips. but it finally got better today I think it was acid reflux

{never had heartburn or acid problem in my life}

10. Popsicles and Jell-O go down sort of ok .sugar free

lifesavers popsickles are the best for me . I think they have less

dye .

11. I put my arm into a blood pressure machine at the store and

dident have to force it into the cuff like before .

12. after logging a few thousand miles walking/jogging in the

last 3 years now I have a whole new attutide at the gym knowing that

im actually going to get thinner this time. Its very satisfying.

13. I don't see how I am ever going to be able to eat any food

again when I can barly get down clear liquids.

14. I have only been head hungry a few times and it passed in a

few minutes so I just wait it out .

15. my intake consists of wheat grass- green juices from

sunflower sprout, cucumber, celery ,pea sprout and very little apple

juice I have my own juicer I use. other is isopure-protein bullets-

georges aloe vera juice-wylers sodium free instant broth-coconut

water from green coconuts and I mix it with electrolyte mix from

emergen-c –popsickles –jello –and I just started drinking clamato

juice .

16. I am wondering what the best time of the day is the best to

take the nexuim and what dosage and if it would be better to take

half in the morning and half in the afternoon. I will have to call

the doc .

17. I am so glad that I got the sleeve done and to know that I am

going to achive my goals and all my hard work is going to show

positive results. It is like my dreans comeing true after all these

years of battleing my weight and food addition. As far as the $$$ I

don't care it's a small price to pay for the great results and as far

as my relationship with food well we are breaking up for good . the

only thing food ever did for me was make me fat. Food is no friend of

mine . I am eating to live now not living to eat.

That's it for me this group is great I get every post sent to my

phone , good luck everybody .

Thank you

BipleyThanks for all your help in the beginning. you rock. I went to this local WLS support group that meets every 30 days last month with dawna (when I was deciding weather or not to get surgery ) and they are going to be surprised that not only did I decide to get it done but I did it and I have lost 25 lbs in between my 1st and 2nd meeting. FyiIt was a fast decision from the time I got the bug in my ear till the time I got my surgery was less than 2 weeks. I researched like crazy and just did it. Now my goal for new years eve is 250 that's 39 lbs in 27 days. It was 260 but I'm almost there now. I guess what I'm saying isJUST DO IT. THanks.
