Feeling Sleevetastic- You Will Too!



Recommended Posts

I made to the 170s! Life is great! This post is to help people stuck on stalls. I stalled for 3 weeks at a time at least 3 times. I actutally thought when I was at 220lbs I wasn't going to lose another pound. And again at 201 and again at 189!! and here I am at 179 in a size 12. Getting compliments everyday. Feeling great about myself. We just have to be patient!!!!

This is great to read and a post I am sure I will need to come back to often once I am sleeved!

Congrats to you! How exciting! I cannot wait to be where you are! I have to admit that the negative thoughts are creeping in since I was a failed band patient! The "what If" scenarios are going crazy in my head!

You are definitely an inspiration to us all!!!! Thanks for posting!!

Thank you so much for the reminder. I have found myself bouncing back and fourth and have decided to kick my butt in gear and get my metabolism burning. ;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
