Any APRIL SLEEVERS? Let me know your progress !



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved April 22 and I'm down 32 pounds. Over the last week I've hit a stall and I'm wondering what you all do to move past that. I walk 30 minutes every day' date=' but still not able to get all my daily Protein in. I can't tolerate the shakes, so any advice would be appreciated![/quote']

I was sleeved 4/22 and lost 19 pounds. I'm at a stall right now.

For those that wrote that they are a slow loser: Have you measured yourself everywhere... arms, thighs, chest, hips, waist? I bet you have lost a lot of inches. In the beginning I didn't notices too much weight loss and went from a size 22 to a loose 16.

I really don't even wight myself because I know it is discouraging and I don't need the added stress. I just wait until I see my NUT or Dr. to find out. I put a piece of masking tape over the # part of the scale and wrote down my goal weight. This means every time I step on the scale when I look down I will only see my goal weight and I am forced to wait until I see the DR to find out or I can bend over and rip it off (which I know will be wrong and defeat the purpose of the tape).

Try this trick it really works and lowers your stress. Also I posted a blog about helping with plateaus/stalls. If you think it may help try adding a slice of avocado with every meal for 1 week and see if the scale moves... Here is the blog and the science behind how it works. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/blog/2407/entry-6047-avocado-can-help-with-stalls-plateau/

I was sleeved April 26th, and I'm down 25 lbs. My weight has been stalled for a week now. Good to know I'm not the only one.

However, stay encouraged. I think I am still losing inches.

I was sleeved 4/22 and only lost 15 lbs. Have been stalled for almost 2 weeks. Curious to know what was everyone's starting weight? I had my lap band removed and was sleeved the same day. I'm starting to think my doc just removed the band :(

I as well was sleeved on the 22nd and my lap band removed... My 1st post op appt. 4/29, I was down 14lbs and I haven't weighed myself since. I feel like I haven't lost any... I too am starting to feel like he just removed the band and is some how trying to use mind control on me.. lol

I was sleeved on April 24. I'm a sllllowwww loser, but o date have lost 10 pounds. I'll take it, since in the past it would take me two or more months to lose that. Slow and steady wins the race.

      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.
