Decision made - Marz's sleeve diary

[Monalisa]

I can eat anything too. A piece of chicken really does fill me up though.
I weighed this morning and have lost a kg! I'm two pounds away from 50lb loss so I'm elated. Now time to refocus....

Well done and that doesn't sound slow to me your a month ahead of me and I'm I'm not even on half that amount yet x

 

[Monalisa]

I can eat anything with my sleeve but not large volumes

Do you notice niccie that you are more full with Proper Food but could say easily eat biscuits? Xx

Reading this makes me smile - I am guilty of eating rubbish as I find it goes down easier than a proper meal. I know it's wrong, I know i should be on a balanced diet - but I wouldn't be in this position if it wasn't for my bad eating habits! I must concentrate on proper food - step away from the crap! x

 

[niccie]

Yes that's very true, biscuits present no problem! I can eat 3/4 of an egg mayo sandwich, or 75g chicken with 60g veg for tea and I'm full X

This may seem a stupid question but do people have different size sleeves depending on the surgeon? Mine has said my stomach will hold 80/100 ml and I have no idea if that is small or large?

I know my surgeon put something down my throat to measure the size of my sleeve so it wasn't too small. If you watch the clips of surgery performed on YouTube you can see what i mean. I don't have major issues eating normal amounts. I can eat a small plate now but just slower than i would have post op. I also feel as stuffed then as i would have had i eaten a large family size packet of crisps after a large serving of dinner....

I work in theatres and we use the same size gastric tube regardless of procedure and patient, everybody gets size 36 tube X

 

[Mrs Noodles]

thanks Marz, that makes sense now x

51lbs loss now in 3 months. That's not bad - I'm happy. Its hasn't been a linear process but at least it's going in the right direction. Have been out and about today and i feel so much more confident nowadays. It was a good decision.

My hair has started to fall out. In quite big clumps. Wondering whether i should cut it to help minimise loss or of it wouldn't make any difference anyway.... Weight hasn't changed since the last time. At least it's not increasing, i am grateful.

 

[niccie]

I cut mine off into a short bob, it looks thicker X
