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



Recommended Posts

I'm eating between 1200-1500 calories daily. I know it's a lot but my surgeon told me that I wasn't eating enough at 1000 calories. I feel like I should be losing more weight than I am. But my surgeon told me to eat between 1200-1500 calories. I'm so tempted to eat 1000 calories because everyone else is losing so much more weight than me! I'm losing like 2-3 pounds a week now.
I am eatting around 500 to 700 calories a day and I loose an average of 12 to 15 pounds a month

I have been upping my calories and Protein over the course of the last month. I get in around 1100 calories a day now with an average of 115 grams of protein a day. I get in all my Water for sure too. I am losing around 1.5 to 2 pounds per week but I don't stress the loss, I know myself and my body..I can't go back to the time where we ate 500 to 700 calories a day. I also exercise 5 to 6 days a week, mix of strength training and cardio. I recently switched up my cardio to include running and just not water aerobics.

This weekend was my daughter's wedding! It was so beautiful!! I saw people that I hadn't seen since before my surgery and they were blown away!!! I met a lady who had the bypass 6 years ago. She lost 60 pounds and has gained 20 back...she inspired me to make sure that is not what I do!!! Here is a picture of my husband & I walking our daughter down the aisle...I think we all look great!!!

Hey everyone,

The further out I get, the less I cruise around these boards. I wanted to update.

I had surgery on Feb 4th and I'm down 85 pounds which includes the pre-op.

Everything is going well, my hair is falling out like crazy, I can fly with my new wings on my arms but I wouldn't trade it for a minute.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Major NSV: I got my @ss kicked by some awesome roller coasters last night at Universal Studios. I didn't even need the larger seats on the ride.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
