FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved



Recommended Posts

My surgery is Tuesday 26th @ 8am. Yippeee can't wait to start this next chapter but I've been wondering from my fellow sleeve family that had the procedure last month. What's the 1st areas on your body where you noticed the weight loss.. I keep hearing in your face is that true? I know everyones body is different tho.

My upper tummy! Congrats

My wife likes those. I can take them or leave them. My vice is the little baby bell light cheese that's in a white wrapper and dipped in red wax. They are kind of pricey in the store, but costco sells them cheap.

Walmart also sells an extra low fat (75% fat free, I think) cheddar made by Cabot that's excellent. It's 60 calories an oz with lots of Protein.< /p>

I'm 5 weeks postoperative. The PA said to do whatever I want in terms of working out. She said at this point there's nothing I can do that will damage my sleeve.

Well that's cool! Cuz I want to get back into really hitting it hard

I just ate an innie piece of pizza!!!! Why do I feel so guilty? :( I'm 5 weeks out and so far so good. Normally I would ate 5! But I'm scared due to eating the crust.

I'm at the end of 4 weeks and I've been stalled for most of this week.

I have been stalled since the 18 of this month. I am not happy about it, but at lest it gives my body time to get caught up.

Its been one month today, down 30 lbs! I can't believe it, I can tell in my clothes but in my mind I don't really see it!? I am still on Protein Shakes and one meal a day. Fish today from Schwans and cottage cheese yummy! Went to a wedding last night and I crossed my legs :) Wow! I do feel great and full of energy! Loving it!

I can't complain, I'm down 27lbs. I think I'm losing inches. If I don't lose anything by weds. then I will be a week. I had another mini stall around the 2nd week I think.

I kinda feel the same way I can tell in my clothes but in my mind I feel as if I been here before (when I lost weight before) so I try not to think to much of it. When I lose my next 15 pounds that will put me at a smaller size/ lower weight than I have lost when diet and exercising without the 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.
