April Sleevers - Well Everyone can chime in!!!!!!!

[dimples509 0]

Well I haven't posted anything in a while. There are some good things going on and some bad things as well. I'll start with the good.....I'VE LOST 85lbs THUS FAR...................WHOO WHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the flip side of that, this stupid nausea won't go away. I've been to the surgeon, the hospital and they don't seem to know what's causing it. The crazy thing is, alot of the time when I do throw up, nothing comes up for saliva, and then every once in a while this green stuff. Of course that does nothing but make my throat hurt even more.

I'm still having this issue with my body tingling and feeling like it's asleep. I talked to the surgeon and he says it's not from dehydration, and at this time it's really nothing to be too concerned about; it's more of an annoyance than anything. Has anyone else ever had to deal with this?

How about eating? I was a bit concerned that maybe I wasn't eating enough. I still eat about 2-3 bites maybe, sometimes 4....AND I AM DONE. EXCEPT for when I get cup of noodles. I have to watch it with them, they seem to go down pretty easy.

Just thought I'd share and get some thoughts, and to see if anyone else has experienced any of these same things.

85 pounds is wild! I was sleeved on April 12. I was 254lbs on the day of surgery down from a high of 270. This morning I weighed in at 213 so down 57 total and 41 since surgery. I can eat about 1/2 cup of food. At my 12 week post-op appointment last week, the Nutritionist said to increase calories from about 800 to 1000 and Proteins from 60 to 80 grams per day. So far, this has been a real struggle. When I try to eat more my stomach hurts and I don't want to stretch it! I haven't had any complications to date and I love the fact that I can eat so little and not feel hungry. I still like the same foods I did prior to surgery, but can eat WAAYY less of them and feel full and satisfied. For example, we went to an picnic birthday party yesterday. I ate about 2/3 of a grilled burger with cheese, ketchup, and pickle, 1 tablespoon of baked Beans, 1 potato chip, and one bite of birthday cake. I am LOVING this sleeve tummy!!!

You are all doing so awesome!!! I was sleeved 4/21 and can't even imagine being in the 60# loss much less the 80's that is fantastic!!!

I was sleeved 4/15 and at 187lbs, I am down 48lbs since surgery and have lost 73lbs from my highest weight of 260lbs. I feel really great but continue to struggle to get all my Protein & Water in. If it weren't for Protein shakes, I'd never make it. I simpy can't eat enough to hit the daily goals.

I work out 5 days/week and keep my intake at 800 calories or less. I don't low carb, but I tend to stay under 100grams/day anyway since I no longer eat bread. I LOVE this sleeve!
