Recommended Posts

Just curious how the March 8th sleevers are doing? I'm down 18 pounds since surgery and things are flowing really well! How's everyone else? What are some challenges?

I was sleeved March 6. I have lost 10 lbs. tomorrow will be day 18. I seem to be losing the weight from the top down. My face looks thinner and I don't have as much back fat. I worry that I will never be able to eat normal again. I don't mean the same amount but now when I eat it seems to get stuck. I am still eating things like yogurt, Soups, malt o meal.

Got sleeve on March 8, down 20 lbs. I'm wondering what everyone else's challenges are as well. Here's mine:

Protein - cannot manage to get enough

liquids - I've never been a big drinker of Water etc. I'm making an effort but still don't get near enough.

Tiredness - I'm tired all the time. I suspect more water would help. I went to a martial arts tournament with my kids yesterday, came home at 2 pm and slept on and off the rest of the day.

Exercise - too tired. I know more exercise would help with the tiredness.

There's probably more that I'm not thinking of just now but don't feel like putting forth the energy to think of them:)

I was sleeved March 8 as well! Yesterday my Fitbit scale had me confused with my husband ..... I weigh 222. Day of surgery I was 242 so 20 pounds since surgery. I'm exhausted though.... I do have issues getting in all my Protein and Water but each day I'm getting there. I have low Iron as well .... I'm sure my post op diet isn't helping with that! ;). I took an extra week off after we returned from vacation/surgery and have sent my daughter to daycare just so I could have a week to myself. :). Hoping to get on the treadmill for some walking as the snow isn't melting anytime soon here!

I was also sleeved on the 4th and am down 22 lbs. I've also been stalled for 4 days. I'm ready for that scale to get moving again.

      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.
