August 2012 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hello All! Any August sleevers out there? Getting discouraged with this stall. Down 50lbs, the scale hasn't moved in quite awhile. Anyone else have this problem? I have had limited complications, nothing terrible, and can eat anything I want but in small amounts. Trying to stay positive, but it's getting more and more difficult. I know the holidays are coming up, and some food choices have not been the best but come on!! Need words of encouragement and helpful stories of others that may be going through this. Thank you!! Best wishes and Happy Holidays!! :P

Sleeved 8/21. 53 pounds down. I lose on average 1-1.5 pounds a week. I've had stalls but I just keep working the program and know that by this time next year i'll be fit and healthy. Try to look at the big picture., stopping to Celebrate the small victories along the way. That makes stalls easier to deal with. Hang in there!!

I was sleeved 8/21 and am down 66 lbs. Feeling great now and feel like I've found my 'new normal', but the first six weeks were pretty rough.

sleeved August 16. I am down 52 pounds. Very little problems to report. Early on was tough. Restriction is less now, some days I can eat more than others. I have three meals I love... chicken tortilla Soup, filet mignon and veggies, and sashimi! Those are my go to foods :) Cravings gone. Can't eat bread. My hips, knees, and feet feel normal again, no pain :) My arms don't stand out like a linebacker anymore. Everyone notices and says, "OH my god, what are you doing?" I simply say eating less and exercising!

      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.
