May Sleeve Buddies!

[LouiseC 1,031]

Sleeved on May 28th and I am loving it 8 days in. Have lost a bit over 30lbs (16kilos) since I started the pre op diet on May 14th. A bit overwhelmed with it all actually! Very please to have found this website as I think my family are getting bored with me talking about it but it is dominating my thoughts most of the day!

Sleeved May 25th and down 11lbs. A but slow but I was 205 when I went in for surgery. Being in Onederland after so many years feels wonderful. Not taking diabetes medication and eliminating my sleep apnea feels even better!

Yes I am following the stages of the post op diet. First week - Clear Liquids, second week - add full liquids and yogurt, third week - puréed foods. That is where I am now, soft foods chewing a lot or I purée the food. I am also still doing full liquids. Eating 3 times a day plus 2 Snacks, getting in 800 cals a day, 60-80 grams of Protein, walking everyday and getting in 60-70 oz of Water. Carbs are under 60 a day. Stalled weight loss for 2 weeks. Pre op diet start weight 214, right before surgery 198, now and for the last two weeks I am on hold at 185 (it varies depending on the scale).

Sleeved 5/21 - just over two weeks out. Finally starting to get some energy back after a complicated surgery week with multiple blood transfusions - and another week at home of profuse bleeding from an incision (which was blood I had already bled - Dr. assured me not to worry after a trip back to the hospital).

14 days ago I stepped on the scale during one of my walking circuits at the hospital and was up 20 more lbs than my surgery day (294 up from 274) - this morning the scale at home read 260 Kinda crazy to see it 34 lbs. less - but ahh how much blood and Fluid weighs - I was like a plump tick as my husband likes to say haha.

I think I am one of those slow healers for sure.
