October Sleevers - Who else



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm not sure how lbs works but I have lost 10kg last time I weigh my self think it sould be more now caures my legs look skinnyer I feel so much better when I walk my legs don't rub together like thy use to :D

Where are you from Candyleo? We're in kgs too! I use an online converter so that I can fill in my ticker. I've lost 9kgs, but I can't see any difference. My daughter reckons my face is waay thinner, but it looks the same to me... I have taken photos, wearing my pjs, one week out, and 2 weeks out. Aim to take the pics every week to track progress. :-)

I was sleeved on the 21st. I'm doing great but I can't figure out how you all have so much energy! After about ten mminutes I want to stop walking, curl up on the sidewalk and take a nap

My will to want to be thin pushes me I didn't go through major surgery to stay overweight the rest of my life also I use to feel sluggish all the time but now that I have 37 pounds off I feel great I have another 152 to go but when I look at that scale and see the numbers going down it makes me want to push myself even when I don't feel like it

Mine was yesterday on the 31st, went without a hitch, feeling fine and having no pain. In fact it feels like nothing has changed besides some soreness at the incisions, which makes me a little worried because even if I drink 16oz of Water at a time, or a whole 8oz of Protein Shake I don't feel full at all, I'm not hungry either though, so that's good!

Hey fellow sleevers. I had my sleeve done on the 24th and I am feeling pretty good. I've lost 15lbs since my surgery and 40 overall since the 10th of October. I'm liking the fact that I am never hungry. The only bad part is that I have to force myself to drink my Protein. I can't wait until I can have something a little more flavorful though lol.

Hi my October Sleevers, I was sleeved on October 30th, I have to say it was not an easy transition, I was sooooooooo nauseaous, and was vomiting blood for the first day, I was given so many nausea medicines that I had a reaction to them, I left the hospital last night and was feeling great, but I can't seem to get any fluids into me I am using a small medicine cup and each swallow brings a full feeling in my new sleeve. Has anybody noticed that getting in the liquids is very hard. I would rather not put anything in my mouth for fear of pain and fullness.

Keep trying. It will get better :-) I had the same problem, but can drink fine now. (Sleeved on 15th October)

      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.
