LUCKY!!!! I am 5 years out, started drinking soda like 10 months out, still lost 100 pounds and now Ive gained almost 70 pounds back because of SODA. Omg.

@@casseyboo89not even i drink diet soda after gastric sleeve and have been still losing weight, but ofc i workout

Yes! 2 years out and carbonation literally hurts I want no parts 😂

Did you had any issues in digestion or had vitamin c deficiency? I am planning to do this surgery I am done trying losing weight.

@@B22.Dota2 this surgery is a pain if u can't handle being on a diet or atleast trying then this surgery will be a nightmare for u

What do you drink?

Nothing but water, & i do have my coffee! I do not add sugar to my coffee, EVER

Can you give examples of what you do drink?

Dear God!!!! Love my juices etc. 😮

After almost 15 years of diet soda, a month before my sleeve, I switched to Gatorade Zero and water and have been off diet soda now for two months. I never thought I could do it, but it was a lot easier than I thought it'd be!

Don’t do it! You can regain the weight easily after a few years

@@Mabrooka86seriously, you can stretch your new stomach back out?

Do it, best ever!

R u in Pakistan

@@humerasajid1104 no I am not at the moment Alhamdullilah

Hi My husband he done he I'd surgery today he say is veery painful is that what you feel in yr first day how things go after plz

@@souadsattor3928 me personally, I believe that people who have issues post-surgery may have thought they could cheat the pre-surgery instructions. Guys I haven’t had any pains post-surgery. I have more gas but less ass lol I should say waist line Alhamdullilah. My journey have been amazing. I am only 9 months in and I am still losing weight almost daily Alhamdullilah. As of today I have left behind about 135 pounds. I hope thing’s go well for your husband. My Very best advice is to let your doctor know and remember the golden pain management rule is lots of walking. Best Wishes

What is you diet??? I will complete 5 months on 5th Feb and I have just lost 20kgs....the nutritionist doesn't entertain much ...so I am basically eating everything although in small quantities....I really want to lose weight at least 16kgs more ...please do share your diet🙏

Yes I'm 3months out GSL and I get sick 🤢 it's a learning process Godspeed!

Do ever regret you did this surgery?

Was it hard to give a soda?

How are you feeling

Hello! Maybe this video can help you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldZmdKSA1t3bo2Q.html

How did it go?

can you tell me how it’s been for you, i’m 19 i have brain condition that requires me to loose weight so im getting gastric sleeve. i just wanna know how it’s been for you?

@gink_ie how are you doing now

Hey! I am also 19 I’ve been considering vsg surgery but my main concern is that because of my age I will be unable to connect/relate with anyone who has had the surgery (because they tend to be on the older side). I would absolutely love to ask you a few questions about your post op process so far. I know it’s superrrr random sorry 😅

@@gklo-yg2vu ahh sorry, I'm just now seeing these replies!! I'm a little over 3 months post op and things are actually going pretty well for me. I lost about 60 pounds since I started my pre-operation diet (40+ since the day of my operation). I thankfully haven't had too many complications, just some pain and discomfort after my operation which is normal. The only "complication" I get is this thing called foamies. It isn't anything serious in my case, it's just annoying as hell 😭 And I'm gonna be pretty honest, I haven't really been following my diet routine that well which is most likely why I have that "foamies" thing. Like, I haven't been eating junky foods, but I could definitely be eating healthier. I also have a hard time with eating + hydrating myself now bc I'm not hungry EVER (and I've always sucked at hydrating myself but it got worse.

@@TarotMuriel replying to notify you! I answered the question above :>

Hi, did you get both things done laparoscopically ? I just found out I have a hernia and I’m becoming scared of needing to have a big incision done. By the way Congratulations on deciding to improve your life. ❤ Take care.

@@lcif6503 EVERYTHING was done by laparoscopy, dear. No worries. Only thing i will tell you is that it might be a bit harder to go through the liquid/soft,etc stages because of the hernia. So please, go slowly dont rush 🙏🏾🤗🤗🤗. Im at my 6 months mark and all is well. Good luck for your surgery ❤️❤️

How's it going?

How is everything going with your GS I’m 3 days for mine

Hi, gd luck for yr surgery, tday rite? Hope u r', doing well... 🙏👍💪

@@dessyyessy599 it’s tomorrow but I’m finishing up getting ready today! Thanks so much!

@@alexismyers6053 How are you doing?

Wishing you a speedy recovery ​@@alexismyers6053

How's everything going?

I had my surgery 1/12 - and I did the same thing self-consciously and lord the pain was un real 😢

I was told to drink Gatorade or powerade zero or crystal light. And I'm sick of them already lol only 2 months post op

@@Naenatify I've been drinking Gatorade Zero since about a month before surgery and it hasn't gotten old to me yet. I think the best thing you can do is find stores in your area that has different flavors? Virtually every store in my area only carries blue, red, and orange. If I travel across town, there are some stores that have pink, green, and several other colors (I don't remember the flavors off hand, lol)

Maybe unsweetened with a natural sweetener

It's weird, I've been on a huge coffee kick for the last several months now. I never liked coffee before surgery.

@@C.A-74 I've been trying to put Stevia and Splenda in my teas and coffee's, but they taste terrible to me.

I'm almost a month ahead of you (June 23rd) it gets better. My doctor has already cleared me to return to a normal diet. Do you use Yeti style cups for your broth? I found that I could make about 24oz's of it and it stayed hot for about 4 hours... lol.

@trclark7689 I don't use it Yeti cups. My mother in law cook daily, and I have broth ready daily. My doctor' nurse called me this week and said to drink the bone broth on the liquid part as extra. I can now eat 1-2oz Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. So far, I have only done the cottage cheese. It counts as protein

@@mimedeiros26 Can I ask what is your current weight now as of now? I just had my very first consultation so I'm still in the very early stages. But I'm nervous and so ready to get it over with.

@gray.photography4839 For surgery, the day was 353 lbs. I saw my doctor this week was 339 lbs. I was wearing jeans but without jeans was 336 lbs. Later today, I will have my first Nutrition Group consultation. I will move from Stage 3 to Stage 4. My primary doctor said that after 6-8 weeks, they keep tracking your weight numbers because, for now still too early to say it because my body is still changing. I have lymphedema on my legs, too. I hope it helps you, and I wish you the best. We got this 😉🙏

Go hug your mother-in-law NOW!@@mimedeiros26

I think you may be eating too much. Did you see a nutritionist

u could be starving yourself or u could be simply eating alot of calories believe it or not before surgery i would have a protein bar morning and then for lunch takis or jalapeño bread or anything i liked below 1000 calories and then for dinner protein bar i also exercise'd carbs helped me get through thr day anyways i was shredding pounds got the surgery for the long run but i know i could easily have kept the weight off and still ate unhealthy i drank like 5 diet sodas a day, so there's your answer number #1 thing is exercise carbs helped me do a great workout and i felt so good, don't listen to these food nazis who have never tried losing weight on their own and them saying oh no soda no sugar, those won't instantly make u gain weight it's a lie they try to shove in your face

why u getting it done u don't need to

Transfer addiction is a real issue... make sure to line up therapy if you decide to get the surgery. I'm 9 months out and 140 lbs down. 50ish to go. I have my life back.

The surgery won't do anything except reduce the size of your stomach. Turning to food for comfort is an emotional issue that surgery doesn't fix

exercise and eat protein bars so exercise alot like walk alot and eat protein bar like quest it will make u stop thinking about food oh and ofc sleep on time make a habit of this in a month you eill be shredding pounds no need for surgery as it is not needed if u can follow this diet sodas is ok u may get gastritis, takis gave me gastritis, but u can definitely have protein bar for morning walk then for lunch a quesadilla anything that's below 1000 calories but still be mindful about calories the most unhealthy stuff i ate was between 500 to 800 calories i ate unhealthy for lunch for carbs and to boost my endorphins to feel good, because food is delicious and for dinner i had protein bar once again quest, after the surgery though u will lose your freedom for food u will most likely stick to stuff high in protein the best u can have is meatball and chicken or tuna salad but mostly premier protein etc...

Wow!

update i lost over 1 month since my surgery im down to 350 from 380 I was 425 in may

that was me when i started losing weight without the surgery.

They are a must for me. I can't eat enough to get enough protein. The shakes make up for it.

You need supplements your body needs extra vitamins

Hello! Maybe this video can help you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fsWbdqWBs57SYZc.htmlsi=JjsmelAvUN0Aa8JK

Me, too! I managed for four months no diet coke. It definitely adds gas so I am trying to quit again.

Once your sleeve heals, your body will be able to consume carbonated beverages again. Eating and drinking in the first few weeks is not fun, but it will pass with time as your stomach repairs. I’m 22 months post and eating or drinking is essentially back to normal except with a much more limited capacity.

drink Your soda I just waited 6 months and I only drink zero sugar soda

It has been 2 months since my gastric sleeve and I can say I really don't miss soda at all (at least for now) 😁

I am 5 years out from the sleeve surgery… could you talk about how important it is to take your vitamins?

gum is tasty i am almost 4 weeks post op

Just about 10 mns away from the mexico border

Hello from a fellow patient. Maybe try to stop one thing only for a few days and then the next one. Also, if you feel you may be a food addict, you might consider Overeaters Anonymous. Good luck!

@@laureneeheman5981 Thank you, Lauren! I know someone who went thru OA. I'm actually going to look into that program. The idea of cutting one habit at a time makes sense. I just don't understand why I can't do the pre-op diet as well as I did it before surgery. 😢

The sleeve is simply a tool to help limit caloric intake. Diet and exercise are still necessary. A liquid diet is not a sustainable long-term solution. Counting your caloric intake will help you achieve the caloric deficit necessary to reach your weight loss goals.

diet coke is definitely ok and it does help u lose weight compared to regular i definitely recommend it, it boosts your endorphins and there's no readon to not drink it unless u feel sick from it or u don't exercise

Prayer can help JESUS CAN HELP

Absolutely not

nope exercise like walking and eating a quest protein bar will help with that

the more u walk the less likely u care for food it definitely helps, the protein bar makes u full fast and sleeping on time helps to

Plenty of protein drinks/shakes dont have sugar. There are lots of options sugar filled or sugar free

Isopure has zero sugar.

premier protein is one that doesn't

Yes! We have a video in our channel talking about Alcohol

Did you try Crystal Light Sweet tea alternative ? You can try it with a little less water to make the flavor stronger.

@@TonicBlade I do sometimes

Yes without sugar

Decaf at first. I think I was cleared to have caffeine after 4 months post op. I still avoid it if I can.

I drink coffee with unflavored protein powder and cream, no sugar. The protein makes this a meal and has helped me to avoid grazing on junk.

I drink reg and decaf with milk and add monk sugar. It's zero calories and tastes like sugar.
