October Sleevers ~~~ How's your weightloss going so far?



Recommended Posts

Is anybody eating anything other than Protein yet? I really want to eat some vegetables or fruit or something but I'm afraid I won't be able to get in all my protein. Also, having a hard time getting in all my Water because of not drinking before, during and after meals.

Basically DITTO. Same thing- all I eat is protein, but in doing so, I'm having a hell of a time getting in my fluids... I'm under goal every day, and while I know a Protein Shake will fix both problems, I don't want to live life only drinking my protein- 3 weeks was enough!

I have no problem getting in fluids- I can drink as much as I want at a time. I also have no feeling of fullness. I'm afraid that's going to make it too easy to overeat. Any one else?

And LLXS, thanks for the great drink tip!!!

Out

I have been saying the same thing. Nobody notices the first 50 pounds. I did not notice until I got to 40 pounds!

A friend said it best last week. (55lbs),

You look normal, like you always did

, like you are supposed to look.

Take it as a compliment.

I am 5 weeks out. Just trying to get all my Proteins in.

Still having an occasional shake.

I was struggling with food vs liquids timing.

I do this:

First thing in the morning: coffee, Water with meds, and a shake. I note the time and plan food in 45-60 mins. Hard boiled egg... Etc.

Then meals---- note the time...... 45 mins to next liquids. & so on.

Yeah.. I do fine on my days off but I'm a hair stylist and tryong to stop every few min to drink. I don't have scheduled"breaks" so when I do get time to eat I can't get in that 30 minutes of no drinking ahead of time. Last week was my first week back to work and the first few days were really tough. A desk job would be sooo much easier. Lol.. oh well, ill figure it out eventually :)

I had the surgery on October 4th. I am now 31 pounds down. However, I haven't lost a single pound for the past two weeks! I have to get over this hump! My issue is getting in all of the Water and Protein. I am going to try to do a better job of planning this weekend and give a shot. I am excited about my journey. I just wish I could figure this mess out.

Do you guys mind if I move this to the monthly support group forum rather than food and nutrition?

My date was October 9 th, I'm down 48 lbs since my sleeve and 59 from my largest last year, I feel amazing, I hit my Christmas goal on thanksgiving, and I am 4 lbs away from the weight the therapist i seen for my post op exam told me I would get to ( she was by far the meanest person I ever meet, sat there at 110 lb telling me how she was fat too but was going to go on a diet and I was lazy for having a sleeve) I am so blessed to have had this done!

Just weighed in with my nutritionist, and I'm at 219. I weigh weekly, but missed Mon and Tuesday last week because of snow days. That means I lost FOUR lbs in the past FIVE days!

I'm just shy of week 9, and I'm 37 pounds down from my surgery date; 67 down from the beginning of pre-op.

Only nineteen pounds 'til ONEDERLAND!!!

      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.
