I've lost 28 pds, and my biggest challenge is overcoming Christmas dinner and seeing my coworker stuff there faces with greasy oh so tasting food I was enjoying before surgery

Hey there Wendy! Ha ha! Anyone notice how the real Wendy looks like a drag queen? LOL

Anyway, I am 24 pounds down from my surgery date, down 54 pounds from my highest weight about 1 year ago. I am freaking ecstatic, even though I seem to be in a bit of a stall right now- I'm retaining SOMETHING because I gained .8 between last night and this morning. I am only able to get down about 650 calories a day, and I struggle with getting enough Protein and getting all of my fluids in. I am great about taking my Vitamins. I was supposed to have another post-op appointment today, but I had a sick kid home from school so I rescheduled for Thursday.

I hope 4 weeks out finds you all well and rockin' your sleeves!

-Kendra

Highest weight: 302

SW: 272 (12/17)

This morning: 248.8

Slatter...keep positive! Your body is still adjusting. I KNOW it's frustrating, boy do I know! But it WILL change & the weight WILL come off, hell..it HAS to...we aren't eating anything! Lol just keep doing what your doing & it will turn around soon!

Thank you!! I know it has to work as I'm eating 1/1000 of my pre op diet....but with the low weight loss and going on a two week stall its hard to not think am I going to be the only one this surgery is not going to work for LOL

I'm Dec. 18th but figured that was close enough. :-) Down 21 lbs since surgery. I was in a week stall then read a post on here that explained why drinking at least 64 oz a day was so important, so I upped my Water and lost 4 lbs in 2 days.

The only problem I had was extreme nausea during my entire 2 night hospital stay - it was awful but once home I was fine. I love, love, love my sleeve!

      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.
