June 2014 Sleevers Check In!
2Bthin4me replied to SnohoGal98296's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 9 weeks out and getting confused about what I should be eating? I know the basics "protein first" but some sources say vegetarian protein, then fish, then maybe animal protein. Some sources say all the veggies and fruit are allowed. Has anyone received direct guidance from a NUT for past 2 months? -

I would take Benadryl and put calamine on the rash itself. Also take a look at what you ate prior to the rash breaking out. Something food related might have caused it. -

Yes I didn't tell anyone either. But they know I'm dieting (as usual right?). I'm a total foodie and love to cook too. I'm adjusting as well. Sometimes it's disappointing when something tastes so good but takes so much "work" to eat it. Or to just have 2-3 bites and not more. But I just need to get used to it right? -

I feel the same way when I eat out. But I'm trying to change my focus with girlfriends by meeting them for a pedicure or at a bookstore instead of for dinner. I'm still struggling with weight loss. Despite my efforts losing more seems to be taking forever!! I also have indigestion still which is frustrating since I had a hiatal hernia fixed and hoped to be done taking meds for it. But overall I am still glad I did it. I get to taste good food and not worry about eating too much of it :-) -

I agree with MommaCEO - I was in a stall for 2 1/2 weeks and it finally broke when I upped my calories. I only lost 1 pound this week but at least I am losing again. -

Hi all! I was sleeved on 6/18 and have been stalled for 3 weeks. I'm honestly wondering why I did this if I'm not going to lose any more weight. I keep every bite on myfirnessal, work out at least 30 min 5 days a week, use a fitbit to walk more, mostly avoid starchy carbs etc. but nothing seems to break the stall. So frustrated. -

me too!! I was sleeved on 6/18/2014 and this is exactly my same story. I am very frustrated too. I guess we just have to keep hoping it will end soon. -

I've lost 25 pounds. Sleeved on 6/18. I have been stalled for 2 weeks now. I am disappointed because I thought I would have lost more by now. Any suggestions on how to break a stall? -

That's the range I'm in too and I was sleeved on 6/18. My weight has been stalled for almost 2 weeks now. So frustrating! -

Have you tried Nature's Twist? The sugar free orangade is awesome. It's in the soda eisle but is caffeine free and non carbonated. I love it! -

I did not tell anyone except my husband and mother. I value the non-judgemental support I get here. I also didn't want to be the subject of gossip and scrutiny. -

i had surgery on 6/18. I know it's hard not to weigh every day but it's the only way to have sanity about this process.
