Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm thinking finally having a period is helping me along. I've got some true poop rumblies going on in my abdominal area. I'm hoping for some poops when I get home from school.

;) I love that we're all in in the same situation and cam talk about poop!

I just finished my first post op Insanity workout! I feel awesome! It felt so great to push myself that hard again! One thing I did notice though, my compression capris and top don't compress like they used to! I guess that's a good problem to have! How is everyone doing? What do you do to exercise?

Won't be cleared to do anything but walk until Thursday. I'm going to add in beginners yoga and the elliptical.

5 weeks out today... Just started exercising. Walked a mile and a half and burned 200 calories.. I'm only eating about 700 so burning 200 works for me. Down 27 lbs since surgery and 42 lbs total!!

Threw up today for the first time. Need to find some new Multi Vitamins. Any recommendations. I bought the chewables from Bariatric Advantage. Instantly nausea. No bueno.

Make sure u take them with food. I've found that all bariatric Vitamins make me sick. I bought Centrum flavor bursts. They taste great and I don't get sick from them.

I had surgery on 2/10. I am loosing so slowly. I am discouraged. I lost 21 lbs before surgery and 27 since my sleeve. I have been so lucky that I have never had pain, gas or nausea. The only thing is that I am still so tired. I take a nap almost every day! My husband is the only one that has even mentioned that he can tell I'm loosing weight. I have been able to get into a couple of pairs of jeans that I couldn't before but I guess I am just impatient! I want to be able to go into Old Navy too!!!

I'm a slow loser too. I had surgery 2/17 and have only lost 20 since then (lost 30 pre-op). But I just keep pluggin away. Was in size 22-24 clothes, 2x and now I'm fitting into 18s and XL.

Thanks... My brain still doesn't recognize the loss. I always text my mom and say "is this what I actually look like or is the mirror making me look thinner than I am?" Hard to comprehend sometimes!

I can relate. I am super happy about my weightloss so far 37 total (27lbs post op) , but I am still trying to adjust to my new reflection. Everyone who has seen me, has told me I look great, but until I get used to it in my head I just feel a little in limbo. I guess like everything else, it'll take time to get used to it. The problem is that we will continue to lose weight so by the time you adjust the one image in your head of what your size is, you will be much smaller. BTW, For the first time since my surgery 2/28, I tried on the clothes I put away because they were too tight. All of them were super loose! I don't know what anyone else is doing, but I refuse to buy any new clothing. I feel like its a waste. Not sure how the summer is going to go. Guess I will be wearing baggy clothes. LOL but y'all wish me luck.

Question: has anyone read a book about life after surgery? Any recommendations?

There's one my program suggests and I think it's called the emotional first aid kit: life after weight loss surgery. You can get it on Amazon.

      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.
