My Fellow 9/4 (Or Last Week) Sleevers - How Are You Doing ?



Recommended Posts

So I had my surgery 9/7. I lost 20 pre op and 27 so far since surgery. I've been naughty and have eaten things I shouldn't, but I always make sure to chew it up good. I'm going to get back on track hopefully tomorrow. I have been tracking on myfitnesspal. I need to get more Water in, I hear that's the trick to loosing weight faster. I've been walking, but I hope to be going to they soon. Keep keeping on ladies!!

Hello fellow 9/4 sleeve sisters. I have lost 17 since surgery, a total of 25 including the week of pre op. Feeling good, no complaints other than I wish I could be one of those 15 lbs in a week people. I have been a yoyo dieter all my life, and never even during the craziest made up diets of my youth did I ever lose close to 15 in a week. Pretty happy with my 25 off though :)

I was sleeved on 9/11. Started soft foods today. My dinner was Tilapia and steamed zuccini. It was fabulous!! I feel great. Get a little tired after feeding goats or doing "harder" chores like laundry and sweeping. I feel like I burp alot but otherwise doing well. I get my protien in with no problems and am up to 48 ounces of liquid a day. Hitting 64 oz is hard.... I mix my vanilla protien with orange juice in the morning and then I drink a costco premier protien in the afternoon when I take my Iron pill. Love my no caffine tea at night and try to get in Water and watered down tang during the day. I can't handle anything too sweet. Love the boxed organic Tomato Soup and my magic bullet SF puddings and creaming things. My incisions are almost healed. I am down 31 pounds since surgery and 61 since pre-op diet. I weigh in on tuesdays and LOVE watching the numbers go down knowing I will never see those numbers again. I occasionaly get a brain craving for a french fry or pizza but for the most part I am doing fine with my broths, Soups, Jello, yogurt, protiens, cream of wheat and now fish....:) My back is hardly sore at all. I had surgery on it in February and felt the doctor did not fix me. He told me he fixed the hernia and the buldge and I would feel better if I lost the weight. Well...61 pounds later and I am thinking in another three weeks I will be able to clean my barn by myself with no problems. I can't wait! Right now I just hang out in the barn..started doing the grain but still can't lift the buckets and the hay...but soon!!!! Love reading everyones posts..Thank you for sharing your experiences!

I am doing good. I had my post op appt today and he said everything looks good.. I really have nothing to complain about...i have had no heartburn' date=' no nausea, no vomiting and no hunger. I was never in pain..just sore and i stopped taking pain meds on Sunday/Monday. I was cleared to start full liquids today thank god because i was crying last night as nothing i was "eating" was satisfying me anymore. So i added greek yogurt and SF pudding today. I am down 9 lbs and a total of 33 with pre-op. I sometimes feel like i am bragging on here but i guess not everyone has issues ....sorry. I am glad that everyone is doing good though now. :)[/quote']

Not bragging! Inspirational!

I add SF syrups to my shakes. English toffee and caramel are my favorites!

I also add PB2 (powdered peanut butter) to my chocolate shakes. They are the best!!! (caramel in that one)

I also add SF pudding like pistacio or cheesecake. Maybe a little crystal lite.

Mix it up a bit so you get a variety! They are not so bad when you spice them up a bit :)

Great suggestions!

How's everyone doing? I've been stalling and gaining. I've also noticed its getting harder to eat. It gets to the point were I don't even care about food anymore. Drinking is fine. I'm only down 31 lb since 9/5. I've been stuck there give or take a couple lbs for 3 weeks. I'm down 48lb since my highest. I exercise 6 days a week, don't know how I'm getting the energy. I only eat about 600-700 cal a day. My hair is fine so far I was afraid to say that. I hope it doesn't start now. Would love to hear about sleevers on or around my date.

I am down 38 since surg on 9-6. 58 since my highest. I just started to shed hair but I have enough hair for 10 people so I'm not too worried.

I have been approved to eat anything. I always eat my Protein first and get about 800-900 calories a day. Usually 60-70g of Protein. Some days I feel hungry. On those days I grab some protein and feel much better.

I exercise 3-4 days a week. My hip has been bothering me. Odd that it would start after losing 50 pounds!

I feel fabulous! So many things are much easier. Loving my sleeve!!!!

      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.
