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.

      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.
