October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

Hi. I was sleeved on 10/9/12. I'm stuck at 190 size xl/16 reg. I feel great except for bad knees which stop me from walking my miles. I have also incorporated wine and my fav foods in my diet. The great thing is that I am still eating less! I mean.....u can only fit so much in the sleeve. Thank God! Otherwise I would be back at 275! I try to eat healthy most of the time. And I have to be more careful since the holidays are just around the corner.

God luck to all in keeping your goals and commitments. I feel like a' normal' person who has to exercise and watch what u eat. We just got a nice headstart!

We can do this. I would like to lose 40 more pounds. God help me!

Have a great life people!

Sleeved last Monday, October 7th, and left hospital Thursday. Pain is MUCH better, still having difficulty getting up and out of chair and bed. Consuming proper amount of liquids thanks to surgery free popsicles. Down about 20 pounds, off four meds already, wedding rings don't fit, feeling pretty good. Pictures from surgery, did not require stitching, incisions were glued, and are looking amazing. Bruises are NOT from surgery, they are from having to stop Coumadin two weeks prior to surgery and replace them with Lovenox shots. Pics attached :-)

      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.
