    july 2013 sleevers

    Sleeved 7/23, lost 17 on 2 week preop diet and 32 post op for total of 49. Loss has slowed last 2 weeks. Started c25k this weekend, seems to be helping.

    Difficult question to ask.

    I'm 4 weeks out, I love my sleeve. I haven't had any diarrhea problems til today but I am pretty sure it was self induced. I was traveling and forgot to eat before I left. I stopped at Arbys and got mozzarella sticks- breaded and greasy, only ate one and through out the rest. Junk in, junk out. I set a reminder to tell me to eat, I'm never hungry. I wish I had made the decision earlier.

    How bout frozen yogurt? Not quit the same, but might get you through till you can have the real thing.

    Dark urine could be sign of urinary tract infection, drink lots of water, possibly cranberry juice, if any burning, I'd call Dr.

    I have found that if I get in less than 500 cal. I don't loose, but when I get just over 600 cal. I loose around a lb. a day. I track everything I put in. It has been very consistent. I add unflavored protein to get to 600 cal. I average about 4-5 oz of food 3 times a day and plus a snack to get to 600.

    I am thinking vitamin b12 is the one that is supposed to boost energy levels. If it lasts more than a couple days, i'd check with the doc, could be dehydration or anemia.

    Why do some spouses seem so threatened by wls?

    I jokingly(well kind of) tell my husband, it took me 20 years to train him. I don't have the patience or desire to do it again.

    I have been eating deli meats, Greek yogurt apple sauce, some soups, canned chicken & tuna (chewed very well) cottage cheese, have also done mashed potatoes, I too add protein. I have the most trouble with deli meats. The most I can consume at any time is 4 oz. Having trouble getting in more that 400 caps in a day, but doing about 60 gr protein. I don't loose on days I get less than 50 oz of water in.

    I was sleeved on the 23rd, i'm feeling pretty good, though tired. I haven't had a lot of gas other than what I'm swallowing. I have found that SF popsicles are easier to get down than water today, I have to burp every time I take a sip of water.

    Surgery went well today. Was wiped out through most afternoon, but woke about 5:00 and had tons of energy. Probably did 30 laps around the hall tonight. Very little abdominal pain, but my back aches from a disc I ruptured 4 years ago. Walking is really helping. I am down 17.3 lbs since starting pre op. Dr says everything looks great. Husband had been amazing. I feel very blessed to have had this done. Thanks to all of you. Dr Hoehn in Kansas is amazing. I love his staff and the facilities. Sonya

    Anybody feel like they are nesting (like before you have a kid)? Yesterday I woke up early, washed bedding, washed & folded 5 loads of laundry, vacuumed, laid new carpet, moved furniture, assembled a new bed, went shopping, cleaned 2 bathrooms...today I'm emptying out all kitchen cabinets, wiping out & reorganizing them. We remodeled are kitchen last winter, and for some odd reason, I decided now was a good time to move everything to where I want it. 2 days til surgery. It would be nice if I had this much energy after.

    I drink the isopure ready made, but I add Mio drops to give it more flavor. Usually do to peach mango and add a mixed berry flavoring... taste like apple juice
