August Sleevers. What Is The Progress? How Are You Feeling

[shrinkydinkme 221]

Surgery was Aug. 1st and all went well. I have been able to drink as much and what ever I desired since day 4 which is a bit scary but good. Biggest struggle has been tiredness/weakness especially the first few weeks. And my family telling me I am much more moody/grumpy then I use to be. Well 2 periods and the 10 day weight loss stall don't make a girl very smiley!

I started walking/biking at gym about 3 weeks, out 25min to start now 45min and began lifting weights this 6th week.

I also started on regular foods now, and it seems to be going good. about 600-700 Calories, 70-80grams of Protein, 70 oz liquids ( not a Water person) and 30-40 carbs . Tolerated everything so far except my sweet chewable Vitamins (strawberry pineapple) I originally loved on day 17, they came back up.

I am 25 down since surgery and 25 during 6 months of pre-op. 50 total is so exciting to me and jean size 24 are now down to 20 (18's fit but not comfortable yet).

Can not believe the lack of hunger and small amount that fills me up. Still fight the head hunger sometimes though. This is what I hoped it would be like. I am still super sensitive to smells, and Decaf coffee I can drink but it is not my favorite like it use to be. I miss loving coffee.

iggy I will continue to pray for you. Sorry this has been so hard but glad you will be ok in time.

I been doing ok I do drink my liquids and Vitamins what I have been having problem is my shake..

I did have two incisions reopened when I removed my stiches. I did use steri strips. One close but my drain incision is still giving me problem now its barely healing. Still hurts.

I did went back to work yesterday. I threw up yesterday all day so i didnt eat yesterday only drinked wate. I guess because work. I clean offices.

Today I did way better.

Glad to hear most of you guys are doing good..!

U in my prayers Iggy ..

Started at 212. Day of surgery Aug. 9th 206. Now at 188 and I have been stuck here for 2 weeks. I have had no complications and can tolerate any food. Hoping scale moves soon because lately I feel hungry and I am getting a bit discouraged.

I was sleeved on Aug 28. I started my 3 week preop liquid diet on 8/07 at 373. I weighed in this morning at 321 so I"m down 52 all together in under 6 weeks! i found pre packaged Protein Shakes at costco that have 30 grams of Protein a piece. I have one of those in the morning and one in the afternoon and I"m done worrying about protein for the day. Its the best. I don't even start soft foods until later next week...and I can't wait. Sorry to hear about the struggles of some others sleeved in august. I"m just following my surgeons instructions to the tee and I feel great.
