Recommended Posts

How are all the March Sleeves Doing...I'm stalled out right now have not lose any weight for about 8 days... but I been walking 2-3 miles every other day....trying to eat my Proteins first. I slip up a couple times...gave into sugar cravings. I been pushing fluids but that's a uphill battle. I feel GREAT...and have a lot of energy...Feel like a 20 something :) Please share any ideals and updates!!

I had surgery on 3/15 and things have been a bit rough. I have lost 21 lbs since surgery but between the blood clot and an infected incision and the fatigue and dizziness ...well...let's just say I'm glad the first month is over. I'm getting better but it has been a long and hard process.

I was sleeved march 1. Weight before surgery 211 weight day of surgery 187 current weight 159. As you seen in one of my posts I had a slip up too with sweets. Been excercising at the 3-5 days a week. 3-5 miles bike/treadmill then 20 mins of working arms/legs. I have been losing slowly. I just got over a two week stall! I too feel great. Have an unlimited amount of energy as well!!

I was sleeved March 21. Weight when I started this journey in October 2011 -- 298; Weight day of surgery 248; Current weight 229. I've been true to the Diet Phases (Clear liquids, Full Liquids, Puree, etc.) I have been walking 2-3 miles 5 days a week. A bit frustrated that I lost approximately 10 lbs each month prior to surgery and then a pound a day for the first two weeks, but only lost 5 lbs in weeks 3-4. I feel good but needed 3 solid weeks to build up my energy. I am craving salads and broccoli!

I was sleeved on 3/16. Doing really well, but also went through the plateau. I added a little bit of extra Protein and boy did that stall break - I lost 6 lbs last week. Down a total of 31.5 lbs. Unfortunately with all my walking an old injury flared up, so I have temorarily had to cut back.

Sleeved 3/12, weight the day of surgery: 271, current weight: 239! Woohoo! I've had numerous stalls, and due to my work schedule have had difficulty exercising daily, but I'm quite pleased with the results thus far. (and the numerous compliments from my husband and mother in law) :)

Hi all! I was sleeved March 12th. Was initially 240, Before surgery I was 228 and am now 197, so 31 lbs since surgery. While I am super excited to be below 200lbs for the first time in years, I am stuck on my second stall as well. I have heard that increasing protien can help break a stall but honestly eating is so much work (haha who would have ever thought I would say that) that I'm not sure at this time I can eat anymore. I'm just trying to stay positive and know that eventually it will pass... I hope :)

Was sleeved March 1 and I am down 50 lbs. I have officially entered my first stall and have been same weight for last week and half. I expected it so it does not bother me. Otherwise I am eating almost everything and enjoying my new life.

I had to quote you because we started around the same time and same weight...

I thought I was doing good until I read your post. Lol! I started at 243.6, surgery weighed 231.6 (on 3/13/12) and now 208. Here I was thinking I was a fast loser, but at only 23.6 lbs lost in 6 weeks I guess the jokes on me. Ha! I hit a stall 9 days out and stayed there for 2 weeks. I guess all things considered I'm still pretty proud of myself. Wonder woman, you are a true wonder. Any tips you want to share? You are doing so great.

Congrats to all the March losers (including me)!

      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.
