Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call

[momto3girls 61]

15 days out, nutritionist moved me to pureed yesterday so I could start getting protein.. None of the liquid Proteins agree with me and go right through me... I came home and had some egg salad... OMG that was the best egg salad lol.... I am starting to feel a bit better as a result of eating food with at least some texture....

I am with you on the egg salad. I made my kids egg salad sandwiches yesterday for lunch (they love them too!) and the rest of it was for ME. It did sit heavy on my stomach yesterday but probably because I ate too much of it. It tasted so good though I couldn't put the darn spoon down.

Oh yeah, and I just got off the phone from ordering my new set of scrubs (I'm a nurse) for work. I have been wearing a 3X but I ordered a 2X..and only one pair. They are expensive and I am not sure how long I will be fitting in each size so I would rather do lots of laundry. Ha!

preetyfatchic-I too have been praying that I am not the only person that this surgery doesn't work for....lol. I would contact your nutritionist and step away from the scale for a few days.

Tell me about stalls...i lost 8 lbs the first week...3 the 2nd and i havent lost anything since. I do believe i have hit that 3 and 4 week stall everyone talks about. Oh well i am happy as i have lost 35lbs in total since middle of July. I just dont get how eating 600 to 800 calories a day can still not allow for some weight loss. I do need to start working out though..hmm

tekera dont worry you lost a lot of lbs already your body has to adjust. i went to support group last night and the nut said we will lose an average 10lbs a month so you might be at your limit for the month. you loss a lot of lbs so fast so let your body catch up keep doing what you doing it will come off. i was also told it will come off in peaks lose stall drop. dont be so hard on yourself you are doing great

chills i get the normal hunger pains when its time to feed lol

support group was very interesting learned a lot. cant wait for the next one. im wasting a lot of food. i cant eat a 1/2 cup of cottege cheese i might it 5 baby spoons before im full not good. next is my Protein supplement. i went for a 45 min walk this morning that felt good. got to get back into walking everyday these thunder thighs need to melt off lol

I was sleeved on the 12th. Stopped pain meds once i left the hosp. (2days) no pain just faint soreness at navel incision. ive been walking since i returned home as my Dr said "there is nothing wrong with you feet and walking is mandatory to prevent clots" i struggle with everything!! my appetite, taste buds, everything is shot. i dont want anything!! but i struggle on getting the fluids in. im now at the mushy food stage, ill see how this goes.

When I make my egg salad I just mash up the hard boiled eggs and then mix with low fat mayo, mustard to taste, and a tad of salt. Let me correct my previous posting...the kids got sandwiches and Mom only got the eggs. Boo. I miss my bread like there is no tomorrow.

OMG! I will have the option of having 1 slice of toast in stage 3. I am hoping I graduate to that stage tomorrow. Crossing my fingers.
