August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

[angel313 21]

Hi all! I was sleeved 8-14. I had some complications during surgery (internal bleeding) so my journey was a slow start (5 days in hospital, 2 weeks at home with limited movement). I was actually heavier at my post op appt than my day of surgery weight because I was filled so much Fluid from my IV, but I'm doing well now. Down 41 lbs! I get in about 500-700 calories a day and take fitness classes 3 times a week (those are the days I take in extra calories). Best of luck everyone!

Hey My Fellow August Sleevers...just checkin in to see how everyone is doing, esp. my August 28th sleevers. How are you feeling? How much are you able to eat now? Exercise? Any issues?

All is pretty good with me. Down a total of 38lbs from my pre-op weight. I think I'm slowing down a bit, but not stressed about it. Finally go to my 60 grams of Protein just last week, but still only at about 40oz of Fluid a day, but hey, I'm a work in progress lol!

Started working our wiht my personal trainer last week, and whew! I am out of shape!! I'm sore as I don't know what, but in a good way. I'm determined to gain back some of this muscle that I'm sure I've lost.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi all August Sleevers,

I was sleeved at St. Lukes in Boise Idaho late in the afternoon August 16, 2012 by Dr. Korn and his staff. I had a very easy time released on the morning of the 18^th, was out and about visiting friends on the 19^th visited a support group on the 21^st. and rode my Ultra Classic Electra Glide on September 2, 2012 I have gone from no exercise to riding five miles on my bicycle, walking one mile a day, and visiting the gym three time a week! The day of the surgery my weight was 370 today I am at 300 looking at the edge that will take me to the two hundreds!!!!! FEELING and DOING GREAT!!!!

Also sleeved 8/28, I'm down 46 pounds now. I have definitely started slowing down at only 2 months out, but I'm also working out alot, so hopefully I'm gaining muscle. I'm hoping to meet my goal of being in Onederland for New Year's, but that leaves me with having to lose 37 pounds in a little over 2 months. I don't know if it'll happen.

Hello,

I am so glad to hear from you. I thought I was losing a little to slow until reading your post. Thanks for posting this has given me encouragement to continue without the stress.

What are your stats?

I just have to keep moving forward. Don't get me wrong at times I get discouraged but EVERYONE'S BODY IS DIFFERENT.

I try and take it one day a time and remind my self WLS was only 2 months ago (on the 29th ).

Oh sorry my stats are

HW 274

DOS 8/29/12 264

Currently 244

Although I'm not losing as fast as I'd like, I'm still seeing some pretty terrific results.

HW 305

DOS 267 (8/20)

Current 235

I've also lost about 50 inches since I started on this path at the beginning of the year. I'm doing really well with food except for last week. I ate part of a bean burrito and was sick as a dog. I really didn't think I had that much of the tortilla, but obviously it was enough. Mainly, I'm sticking with my Proteins and getting about 60-80 grams in a day. I don't really like the taste of any liquids but hopefully that will change soon.

Hope everyone else is doing great!
