Any March Sleevers?

[beba238 123]

I just ate my first egg since being sleeved. Tomorrow is my two week follow up with my Dr. I figgure it was safe to try. I made it VERY soft and added a little mayo. It was like eating the inside of a deviled egg.

It went down pretty good. A little pressure in the middle of my chest a few times. Needless to say I didn't eat much and my dog enjoyed the majority of it.

As of today I've lost 20.5 lbs which includes my pre-op loss of 7 lbs. I'm extremely happy with the progress so far.

My dogs are my number 1 supporters when eating lol. I can give them whatever i can't chow down.

What is everyone's plan on when to weigh themselves for the first time ?

I weighed myself 2 days after getting out of the hospital. I was in total shock because i was 10lbs down. But i made a promise that I will only weight myself every week post surgery.

IE: I had surgery on Tuesday so I will only weigh myself on Tuesdays. Its so hard though lol

I'm still too heavy for my home scale, so first weigh in will be at my 2 week post op appt.

After that, it will be weekly as well. Tuesdays also. I'm feeling pretty alert today. I feel like the inside stuff is more comfortable, and I'm at half my Protein for the day.

Once a week on tuesdays for me too...made my husband hide the scale so I can't get on it lol too hard to resist!

Well I weighed myself yesterday when i got home from the hospital and I gained 4 lbs! Lol! Not surprised as i had a 3 1/2 hour drive home from hospital which always causes edema. So I don't know when I'll get back on. I like the week after surgery day idea. For me, that's next Wednesday.

Wondering how my 27th sleevers are feeling today: gas, pain, walking ( how often/long), etc.

My understanding is that it is common for us to gain in the hospital... The fluids they put in have to cycle their way out.

I'm kind of glad I'm.not able to check for at least a week.

I gained a pound but won't plan to weigh until probably my 2 week post op.

27th SLEEVER! I'm feeling pretty good except for one of the incisions. Hurts like hell. But gas pains is down significantly. I walked this morning for about 15 min. And I just went to the store with the family but only lasted about 20 minutes. I'm trying to push but not push too much!

Doing pretty good here!! Gas pain is much better today and I have the one incision where they removed my stomach from that hurts pretty bad but they warned me of that! I have been having a uncomfortable feeling when I drink something between my boobs, almost feels like an air bubble! Anyone else experiencing or have experienced this? I have been walking 30 minutes or more a day!

I weighed and had gained some since surgery but I figured it was all the fluids they pumped in me....so I will not weigh again until my one week post op!! Good luck to all of you!!

Okay for all of my March Sleevers I first want to congratulate you on the step we have taken to a better life both physically and mentally. With that being said I would like to share an article with you about Slider Foods. Right now I'm having trouble being around food. So I started to do some research and started to see a bright light at the end of my tunnel. I hope the article helps!!

3oz of shrimp has 18g of Protein so I have been eating shrimp. I can only eat three at a time and I'm super full. Also my Protein Drinks have 25 g of protein in them

So i started pureed foods today....???? I had a scrambled egg with atsp of melted cheese and 1/4 of a banana that i blended with 2tsp of soy milk and 1 tsp of natural peanut butter.........not too bad; i do think i needed to blend the eggs with a tad bit of broth or soomething cause they were kinda dry and felt a bit "strange" going down, but i ate about half the egg and half the banana and i was full.......i can also start taking my supplements today which is good because this feeling of weakness has got to go.......but doing well, i have lost 30 lbs from my high weight and 16 since day of surgery, unbelievable.........????????????????
