Anyone else getting sleeved in August?

[mummytolewis 21]

I agree but also agree with ' everything in moderation' am not going to deny myself the very occasional junk but the majority of the time will eat healthily. :-) what will be lovely is having a Chinese and only being able to eat a quarter of what I would eat previously' date=' or even less! However, that is a loooooong way off! :-)[/quote']

That's what I mean tho, its a long way off, i, m talking about only just having your sleeve and trying to eat the crap you did before then wondering why your sick when you, ve just tried to eat a burger or pizza slice, theres no point in that,i agree everyone should have atreat and 2 yrs down the line. Were all gonna know what we can and cant tolerate, but straight away we have to be strong, besides everything that we love thats bad for us makes us dump, it is hard every1 seems to be having Chinese around me and that was my fav junk food, grrrr lolxx

How are you cooks out there doing ......I was sleeved over a week ago and I still like to cook for family....I taste as I cook...but now I spit it out. My husband thinks its crazy but I'm not taking any chances.

I know that I have missed a few days of sleevers.. I hope that all are doing well and everyone has/had smooth surgeries and are having speedy recoveries!

Oh my god. Are some people doing that? What's the point of going through all of this if you're just going to continue as before....... Thankfully, whenever I see an ad for KFC or burger king or pizza hut, it has no effect on me at all. Probably coz I know I can't eat it now.

Mocha and Embersfallen how are you doing? Thinking of you hope everything is going well.

If they're anything like I was they probably don't feel like doing anything right now. I had my laptop with me and didn't touch it. I also ignored my kindle and my phone.

Well I am going home today I am having some major gas issues and having a hard time making it move. They keep telling me to walk but nothing is happening. I am just ready to go home and check with pharmacy to see I can take gas x with the medication they are giving me. Thank everyone for the well wishes.

[embersfallen 16]

Just went home today!!!! Sitting in my bed..ahhhhh. Day is surgery felt pretty good... Yesterday however felt like a Mack ruck rolled me over!!! Like mocha said... Gas issues... I kept burping but nothing from the other end and had TERRIBLE pressure with every teeny sip of Water etc. think I maybe got in 2 or 3 oz total a few sips of broth and two spoonfuls of Jello. This morning they were considering keeping me another day.

Mocha, I tried that too... Lots of walking... Nada. Last night I slept nearly completely upright hugging my pillow .... Uncomfortable but not as much a the gas issue. Finally things started moving properly I think it was in a large part due to that. I also rubbed my low back kinda like you do with a baby trying to get it to burp and that oddly also helped. Best of luck to you my sleevesista!!!! Today I've gotten much more hydration in... An entire Popsicle... About 4 oz water at the hospital , my liquid meds, 1/3rd so far of a sugar free done flavored water bottle... And a few sips of a Protein drink.... So getting closer to the initial goal of 40 0z

Had my surgery yesterday. My back was really hurting and I used a heating pad. Home today @ 2:30. Not too crazy about broth and hello. Now I just feel like I have the flu. Surgeon said I had hospital hernia. All he could do is bring my stomach back down. Guess I am part of the 5% who had a blood vessel in the way going to liver. He doesn't think it will be an issue tho.

I just read somewhere about a 3 week stall. Is it possible to have this at 2 weeks? That's what seems to have happened to me......

Any update on the stall? I still haven't lost much :/

[chrissythemoo 34]

Hiya, well I just weighed myself and I've lost 4lbs this week. So that's the 3 I gained plus 1. Something tells me that this is not the infamous 3 week stall and more of a female Fluid retention wobble. However, I am now at 3 weeks, soooooo watch this space.....

I was sleeved 8/5 and really haven't lost anything since the 1st week being home. I'm down 17 pds and haven't lost anything .

Hey girlie, do you have a high BMI? What does your diet consist of?
