Oct. 15, 2012 Sleeve Date

[change4life2012 50]

What are your NSV that you have had so far?? I have went down one pants size and am wearing shirts that I haven't worn in over 5 years. I feel like I have a new wardrobe. Another NSV it feels great is being able to stand for the entire time during the worship part of church. For the last year I have struggled to stand for periods of time due to pain in my back from my weight. My back pain is pretty much gone!!! I am so thankful for my sleeve.

I have a later surgery date, but I wanted to tell you all how much I enjoyed hearing all of your thoughts and tribulations! It is heartening to me to know that I am not alone. I am amazed that you are all back to work after 2 weeks! I am planning on taking more time, perhaps because I don't have a desk job. I am craving food too, not necessarily sweets, especially meat and pizza. I was thinking about going ahead and chewing on something I like, just for the mouth pleasure, and then spitting it out into a napkin rather than swallowing it. Does that sound super gross?

OK. It's my turn to be frustrated. I gained weight this week. GAINED!!! What the heck is going on? I'm doing everything I'm supposed to' date=' but I gained a pound!!!

Don't get frustrated. It could depend on what time of day you weighed yourself too.

I was sleeved on Oct 15 too. I'm on soft foods til next Wednesday. I'm having a hard time getting my fluids and really need some ideas about Protein I can't stand the powder or shakes I've tried!! Was out 3 weeks of work and super glad I tried going back at 2 weeks but I felt horrible. I'm feeling good not tired not sore really anymore. Can't wait to eat normal everyday food! Down 26 lbs last week.. stopped weighing and now I just measure myself.

Yes, I hated the Protein Shakes too until I found About Time. It's awesome! I do add plain greek yogurt to it to cut down the sweetness, but it's not bad. It's also high in protein so I only need 1 or 2 a day and I have enough protein. You can get samples on their website for cheap. I like banana.

I'm eating steamed fish and Beans this week. Next week I can introduce new foods. I'm excited. I think I'll stop writhing, too. My scale is out of batteries anyway. I can tell my weight loss has slowed & I even gained a pound this week. I hope it starts going the other way again soon.

Yeah, I suppose. It was morning, but then today my scale was out of batteries, so maybe it wasn't working properly. I don't think I'll weigh myself until I go to the doctor's again next month. I'll just keep doing the program.

Is it possibly that time of the month??

No. It is possible that I'm just not drinking enough Water.< /p>

I thought of that, too, but it's too hard not to swallow. I live vicariously through my friends by asking them how things taste. Sometimes it works.

At least we know we're not alone. From reading lots of other posts, this seems normal at 3-4 weeks out. Perhaps it's our bodies freaking out and going in starvation mode. I'm thinking of calling my NUT to see what she says.

I've been hungry since I opened my eyes this morning. I don't know what's going on, but it's been a miserable day.

I have a terrible sinus infection and I'm wondering if my body is wanting more food/calories to fight it. Dies that even make sense? Blah.

[BethinPA 305]

That does make sense to me, your metabolism rises when your body is fighting an infection.

I have started to eat Protein several times a day. I can't handle just eating 3x a day. So, I have a little snack or a glass of milk between meals. It helps my hunger. I have two rules, though: no eating in front of the tv or in front of the computer. I'm more satisfied if I pay attention to my food & appetite.
