Any APRIL SLEEVERS? Let me know your progress !



Recommended Posts

I had surgery April 29 and as pf a week after surgery I had lost 25 lbs. I don't have a scale and try to save it for my doctors visits. Doing pretty well but have found the hotter it is outside the more I crave fluids and less I want to eat. Not sure what to do :-/

Surgery was April 17th and weighed 206. Im down 31 pounds but have been at a stall for about a week or so. If I up my protien will my weight loss increase? Also need some good ideas for meals. I do a lot of grilled and baked fish and nuts for Snacks but need new things!!

Today I learned that poppy seeds are not my friend! I am not sure why they are mean.

I figured I'll post my stats as well - here are the details:

Height: 5,6"

4/13 - pre-op testing weight: 266.0 LBS

4/29 - surgery day: 251.5 LBS

5/31 - weekly weight-in: 239.5 LBS

It's been slow but steady and I'm loving the experience. Haven't had any issues with food or liquids so things are quite easy. Just need to incorporate more exercise as I've been slaking off in that department.

Sleeved 04/08/13 and down 39lbs (including pre-surgery diet - I count this because its valid weight loss and was achieved through sheer willpower).

I bought myself a spanky new pair of size 12 jeans last weekend and felt so happy that i could not only get them up my legs but buttoned up too without effort. I feel so incredibly fortunate to have been given the gift of this amazing sleeve. This is the best I have felt in a very long time. Is there homework to do? Of course! I track my calories, exercise and drink Water till i feel like Im floating. Hunger comes and goes. Sometimes I feel like a bottomless pit and don't seem to be able to fill the void (head hunger??), sometimes I completely forget about eating if I am busy. Bottom line is I honor my sleeve and at the end of the day appreciate that it will not let me stray too far from striving to my goal. :)

I everyone.... checking in. If you have a stall try eating some avocado that might help. Under my profile in one of my blogs I have an article about how avocado can help with weight loss.

      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.
