Post Op Octosleevers 2012. Welcome To The Losers Bench!

[ThinnerTiff 172]

I havent been on much,kinda doing my own thing, but my dr approved me on some foods that i wasnt allowed to have yet. I have lost 27lbs from surgery (10/9) total of 61 lbs! so im slowly getting there!!! one day at a time!!!!

How is everybody doing? Just curious to see how my other October sleevers are progressing. Any challenges? Any NSVs? What are you eating?

I was sleeved 10/11/12

Starting Weight 278

Day of Surgery 273

(Weigh day tomorrow) - as of last week down 33 pounds 245

I am eating 3 meals (2 ounces of Protein and a bit of other stuff, one shake per day) and some days one snack, some days two Snacks (a cheese stick or an ounce of turkey pepperoni)

I am watching my carbs but not really concerned with my fat. Average about 60 grams protein a day and low 600 calories. Carbs are usually in the 20 - 30 gram range.

What about you?

I was sleeved 10/1 starting weight 266.6, day of 256, 3 days after surgery 263, today 234.6. Total lost 32lbs. I feel like I am a slow looser. I keep reminding myself of the average weight loss....but still is frustrating. I am a stair step looser. I do not lose for like 7 to 10 days then I drop 2 to 3 lbs. It is highly irritating! I don't even call them stalls. I just chalk it up to the way I lose.

Down 31 lbs

50/F...5'10"

Now on soft foods stage for 3 wks. Stressful!!! Honestly was so much easier just doing shakes and liquids. Now, making decisions, trying to get prot and fluids is so difficult. Back trouble so walking a bit but no real exercises. I hoped i'd lost more by now, too.

Once you get to "real" food it gets a bit easier. I find that I have my go-to foods for break lunch and Snacks and then dinner is the variable. It takes a lot of that stress of deciding what to have out.

Today was my weigh in day and I lost NOTHING this week. Boo! I know I am getting my period any day now and that always messes me up but it really is a bummer. I only walked once or twice last week so I am sure that contributed to the stall. But with only 600 or so calories a day it is annoying - although I don't feel deprived, but I am just being impatient.

On the bright side, I feel so much better and have so much more energy already, so have to remember the positive things!
