I was sleeved Dec. 6th and I lost a total of 25 pounds from Nov. 29th. I have not lost any weight since week 2. I'm not gaining but I am not losing either. I have been on liquids and cream Soups since week 2. I've read this is normal and it will get better. I start mushy foods at the end of this week and I will start some cardio Monday so I hope it starts moving down again. Good luck and don't give up!

I've been looking at SnapFitness, Anytime Fitness and Planet Fitness. Thanks for the insight.

There is not a YMCA near me. I thought of joining the gym and maybe starting off with a personal trainer but I don't know if that is necessary plus I have to be easy on the pocketbook.

Do you think you could have done this on your own
HollyW replied to Toyia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There is no way I could have done this without the sleeve. All my life it has been yo-yo diets and pills and drinks. I would lose and gain it all back and then some! -
Becca I am so happy that it is all over and done for you! Keep us posted on your progress and GOOD LUCK!

Sleeved 2 weeks ago-update
HollyW replied to hope@50plus's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Well congrats sleeve sister! I was sleeved on Dec. 6th as well and start Soups and yogurt today. I have lost a total of 25 pounds since I started my liquid diet the week before surgery. Hope you (we) keep losing! Feels good to lose doesn't it?!!! -
I am 13 days post-op and I am still on liquids. I get hungry and I hope that when I get to actually eat something it will get better. Their are times I get so hungry I want to just scream "screw it" and go eat the first thing I can find, but of course I don't.

Post op diet killing me!!
HollyW replied to MistyB's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I couldn't agree with you more! I am 13 days post-op and I am SO sick and tired of liquids!!! I was on liquids a week before surgery and I am still on liquids. I go see the doctor tomorrow and I hope he tells me I can have something that I can chew. It is so frustrating having to cook for a husband and 4 kids and I cannot have anything I cooked. Guess all we can do is hang in there and wait it out, we've come this far. -

Hey sleeve sister! I had my post op visit today and staples came out and I was told I could be on full liquids now. I am so sick of liquids I could scream!!!! Hope everything is going well.

Just sleeved on Tues and have questions about the pain
HollyW replied to drysdale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only took pain meds for 3 days. Really day 3 was just for headaches. Everyone is different. I had my surgery on Dec. 6th. Hope you get better soon! -
Things went well. I am very weak today, 5 days post op. I'm glad things are going well with you. It is a day by day process. Keep your head up.

I hear ya on the protein. You are getting way more than I am. I just can't get it down. I really only took pain meds the first day and then when I got headaches after that. I haven't had any pain meds today at all. I am sore and get around slow but I think that is expected. I'm glad your doing well. Let me know what you find out about protein drinks. I had an Isopure in the hospital and it is the best I've had yet! Good luck. -
I was sleeved on the 6th. I am doing ok. Weak and tired of clear liquids. Surgery went well. I've been doing good at home. How was your surgery? How are you doing?

Any December Sleevers?
HollyW replied to weightnomore's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well everyone I am sleeved and couldn't be happier! My only problem was with gas. It is getting better but still not gone. I stayed 2 nights instead of 1 because of the gas. I have 5 small incisions, and I had a hernia repaired that I didn't even know I had. I've got 2 weeks of liquids then I can start bringing in some smaller foods. Good luck to everyone! -
I am feeling good. I ended up staying 2 nights because I had so much gas. Other than that I am great. Moving slow and still on liquids for 2 more weeks. Thanks for checking up on me and I'm sorry it took me so long to reply.
