Hey There! Any December 2021 Surgery Friends?
Frazzled replied to armartin98's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my sleeve on 12/22. I am down 55 pounds since surgery and down 79 pounds from my highest weight. When I don't have pneumonia like I do now, I walk the dog for 1.5 miles or more per day, I am working out - especially core exercises, and I am keeping to the protein-first plan. I slip occasionally, but I've never had dumping syndrome, so either my stomach is made from iron or I just know what to put in it. I am more that 50% to my goal weight and can feel it coming.... -

My sleeve was 12/22. I think I am likely overeating. I am finding it really hard to get in five small meals per day, even while working from home. I am hitting my fluid intake without issue. I am likely going to be going back to the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol diet where it makes sense - it is very high protein, healthy fats, low carbs. I felt so great right out of the gate after surgery. Now, not so much. I just need to figure out how to follow the program better. -

I'm in about the same boat. Starting weight (on day or surgery): 300.5 Current weight: 305 Eating regular food but have completely stalled for nearly 3 weeks now. Have been walking up to 2 miles per.dsu, 3.times per week. Would do more.byt this darn RA flare is killing me.. But I know when I lift, I lose fat . -

I am in this same boat - I lost 26+ pounds and over 9 inches and now nothing. I am counting what I eat, and have also increased the frequency and distance I am walking (1.1 miles per day plus whatever I do during the day). I am exactly three weeks out from surgery today and I am stuck. Will put a note into my surgeon's office and see how they can help. -
Had surgery on 12/22. in 17 days, I lost 25.3 pounds. Now I have gained 1.4 pounds after a few days' stall. I sort of stopped tracking my food as I should have been, so am going back to that today. Pushing water and protein. Supposed to be eating 5 small meals a day and drinking one protein shake right now. Mostly able to do that...but I don't always feel hungry so I have to push myself. No issues with getting the protein numbers in. Been pushing fluids like crazy the last few days.

Had diarrhea at first but that is not an issu now. Taking stool softeners daily and even that doesn't always help. Thank God for Miralax. Diet is getting more normal. Eating baked chicken, chili, string cheese, toast with peanut butter, some sugar free pudding. Feeling a bit sore today but not in pain. -

Hey all! Just joined today. I had my Gastric Sleeve done on 12/22. I hit my highest weight in July 2021 and lost a fair amount of weight through low-carb eating and not eating junk. In 16 days, have lost 24 pounds from my pre-surgery weight and am down a total of 50 pounds from that high point. I am feeling amazing and have had no issues with the full liquid / pureed food. I am now on soft food. Feeling great, no issues so far.
