Oct. 15, 2012 Sleeve Date



Recommended Posts

I was also sleeved October 15th. First two weeks were miserable, went through the depression stage and regretted my decision on a daily basis. Now I am sooo happy I went through with this! Day of surgery I was at 257. Today I am at 231! Whoever thinks this is an easy fix has another thing coming.

How's everybody doing? I've been hungrier than usual for the past few days and it was starting to freak me out.

But my DH pointed out that I'm fighting a cold and likely need more food than I've been eating. Sounds legit to me, what say you, my fellow sleevers?

We have become such a quiet bunch lately. How is your sleeve going?? I can't believe how easy this process has been. I started the gym today and am allowed to add some light weights. What kind of workout are you doing?

Hi! You're right! We have gotten quiet. Things are just moving right along with me. My weight loss stalled a bit over the holiday, but it picked up again. I last another four pounds this week. I'm down 36 pounds now.

I'm in awe about this working. I haven't yet trusted it completely and maybe I won't until I've lost all the weight, but so far it's really working.

I'm not really working out much. I've been doing some wall pushups and walking everyday. I have not been cleared yet for weight lifting, but I am doing some work on my arms with light weights...mostly when I'm watching tv. It keeps me from thinking about food (the one time I really want to eat).

How are you?

I have just been coasting along. I have great weeks and nothing weeks. I think I'm down 36 pounds too. I'm down to 1x tops and size 22 bottoms from pre-surgery 3x tops and 26 bottoms. It'll be after Christmas before I drop another size.

I've been trying to walk fast or jog to help get the weight off, but I ended up getting diagnosed this morning with planter faciatus (spelling?) on my right foot. Which is pretty painful when I walk. I'm still walking but using inserts in my shoes. I haven't started weights yet... I have a post-surgical visit tomorrow morning to see how I'm doing. I plan to ask permission at that visit.

The great side is I haven't found a single food that I can't handle with my new stomach. My favorite is a slice of fresh motzarella (sp?) topped with a roast beef half slice, a roma tomoto slice and an olive. Its healthy - low carb - and sooo yummy. Also when I feel like I'm having an empty stomach (constantly hungry) day I eat a bag of 100 cal popcorn. I try not to eat anything after 6pm and eat something the second I wake up to jump start my metabolism.

Keeping my fingers cross that I will break out of the 250's before Christmas. Its still so unreal how fast the weight has come off. I love this journey!

Hope you fellow 10/15ers are enjoying yours too! Have a great week!!

      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.
