Hi, I am an Election Day Sleever, I think I am doing well. I have been walking everyday, cleaning and cooking. Pain is minimal...went to a huge craft show 2 days ago..going to the mall today. Getting in 50-60 oz of Water, I know I need more. yesterday close to 100 grams of Protein, I mix it in everything plus Isopure protein water (reason I am going to the mall) I do get hunger pangs.....I cant wait to eat a huge spoon full of Pasta and have a glass of wine.

Sleeved on nov 6. Doing ok, not getting all my fluids and Protein in, but doing the best I can. Have absolutely no energy today and yesterday. Feel like I sorta hit a wall....but I will try to get more fluids in and that should help. Walked some last week, but no so much yesterday. Today is pouring rain, so don't know if a walk will happen today. Glad I made this decision. Keep the healing going!

Sleeved on 11/1 and so far everything has been easy, almost too easy. I only had 1 day of liquid and then by day 2 was on pureed and soft foods. I have no problem getting all my liquids and can drink 16 oz in a half hour. I can do about 4 oz of Protein at a time before I get very full very quickly. The problem is that I will be hungry again in about an hour. In fact I feel hungry most of the time. I've been ignoring it but I've been surprised that it's happening.

Exercise has been limited to running on the elliptical. I am up to 40 minutes at a little more than half the resistance I was doing before being sleeved. This morning I went 3.5 miles which means I can probably up the resistance.

I have my 2 week followup on Thursday. I'm really hoping I cleared for yoga, coffee and some vegetables. I'm dying for a salad after a month of shakes and Protein.< /p>

are you talking about the Atkins? i buy the pre made strawberry and vanilla ones. i cant afford anything else right now until payday lol. i cant wait 2 try the isopure's they look tasty lol. atkins only has 15g per shake but still better than none. i try 2 drink at least 2 a day even tho i am SUPPOSED to get 60 g of Protein in. i am trying honestly

I think the eas is cheaper than Atkins at Walmart..also I believe the best protien that absorbs best is a protien isolate..and Atkins has a protien blend..from what I remember..its all good though..we get what we can ..;)

Sleeved on Monday' date=' 11-5. Doing great. gassiness is gone for the most part and no more naseau. Went for a walk today and yesterday, not quite a mile. Really wipes me out but feels so good to be outside. Still on clear liquid diet till tomorrow. Then I get to add Protein shakes. Hoping that goes down ok cuz I do feel weak.[/quote']

Hello!

I was sleeved the same day as you were. Can I ask, are you experiencing any mild stomach pain / discomfort? Mostly intermittent

wonderfuss

understandable that you are alittle tired. have a good nap

but.......i'm confused - ..if you are not too successful in getting in much of your Protein shake (which after one week or so is totally understandable)

how are you getting in 50 g of Protein, did i miss something???

just curious, but you know what they say about curiosity :wacko:

good luck with re-cuperation, getting all your strength back too, but take a nap for me too ;)

Proudgrammy -

I got 50g of protein in by drinking an Isopure with 40g in it. I haven't been successful in getting all of my Protein shakes. I want to get the Protein Shakes in but I just can't anymore. So I forgot about dry non-fat milk, bought it to put in things to boost the protein. Apparantly not feeling good yesterday meant developed a cold yesterday evening. Not pleasant at all. But I'm getting in fluids and sleep is awesome!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
