Gastricsleeve4me 186 Posted June 6, 2012 Sleeved may 21...SW 250, weight yesterday 230. Exciting! Was doing well on liquids. Now that I'm adding in mushy foods slowly finding I need a new routine around Water. The waiting before and after to drink throws me off! But I'll get there less head hunger than that first week, so that's encouraging for now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fesenjoon 22 Posted June 7, 2012 Hi Everyone, A pleasure to meet you all. I was sleeved on May 29th at the John Hopkins Hospital by Dr. Schweitzer. I wasn't asked to go on a prolonged pre-op diet, just needed to be on liquids before the surgery (so I had more time to say good bye to old friends such as pizzas and cheeseburgers . Anyways, I was 260 lbs at the date of surgery. Today (9 days post-op), I'm at 249 lbs. I'm also ready to move on the puree diet today. Looking forward to some my first plate of scrambled eggs!

ldlr13 0 Posted June 8, 2012 Sleeved May 29th and down 28 pounds! Doing great mostly. Pulled a muscle near my top left incision. Very painful! Apparently, that muscle will always be prone to strain and pain because damage is done to it during the removal of the stomach. Yikes! Don't rember reading that in any of the possible issues.

LKA Girl 2 Posted June 8, 2012 I was sleeved on May 14 - per the dr I can start solids today. I'm a little nervous about that, so going to still stick to the softer side. Congrats to all the May sleevers on weight loss so far! I am just ending/still a little bit in a stall - It's lasted since week 2. I lost 18 pounds in the first 10 days, then nada, zip, nuttin. I'm down 2 more the past few days, for a total of 20 so far. I am glad to be 20 down, but certainly have a long way to go (299 pre-sleeve diet start, 275 surgery date, 255 today). Monday will be 4 weeks for me and I've been really strict about what I eat and when - should I be concerned at only losing 20 lbs so far? What i've read is that we can expect 10 lbs a month, but I see lots with great success these first few weeks. Just being slightly paranoid over here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted June 8, 2012 Apparently' date=' that muscle will always be prone to strain and pain because damage is done to it during the removal of the stomach..[/quote'] That would be totally new to me. I was into heavy weight lifting when I was younger. We intentionally shredded our muscles because they repaired themselves stronger & bigger. I've never heard of muscle damage that wasn't repairable back to 100%. Ligament & tendons yes , but not muscle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gastricsleeve4me 186 Posted June 9, 2012 May sleevers...curious howard calories you're eating and whether or not you're in a stall. I'm at nearly three weeks and getting in about 550. Anyone managing to get in more and, if so, how's the weight loss going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulnewme2012 164 Posted June 9, 2012 May sleevers...curious howard calories you're eating and whether or not you're in a stall. I'm at nearly three weeks and getting in about 550. Anyone managing to get in more and' date=' if so, how's the weight loss going?[/quote'] Getting in about the same. And I haven't weighed since I started week 3 so I don't know if I am stalled. I only weigh once a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
