New Here, Sleeved In Co July 17



Recommended Posts

Hey folks, I am new here. I was sleeved in CO by Dr. Chae on July 17. I am down 17 lbs since surgery with zero complications. I can barely even tell I had it done, save for the lack of energy, scars and feeling full much faster.

I also got in decent cardio shape and lost 38 lbs from April-July before the surgery, which I am very glad I did. I attribute the smooth surgery and recovery to that as well as the experience and skill of my surgeon and the hospital staff.

Good luck to everyone pre and post-surgery.

I was sleeved 2 days after you. Are you eating mushies? What does your diet consist of?

Also, I lost 17 pounds in the first week and now nothing. Did you stall at all?

Sounds like you are doing so well, congrats!

Since yesterday soft and moist: canned meats in Water, eggs, low-fat cheese, cottage cheese, turkey chili, etc.

I'm not really worried about stalls yet. I'm only weighing myself once/week. I figure if a few weeks go by and nothing changes, then it's time to change something up, but after reading a lot of forums on these types of sites people seem to drive themselves nuts with the daily weighing. If you stick to the eating plan and workout something will happen.

I am surprised by how many people seem to avoid working out. To me, that's a big part. I'd rather lose a few less pounds and gain some muscle.

Seventeen lbs is good for a couple of weeks, just keep at it.

      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.
