Any April 1st sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was April 3rd, so in another week or so i will be at the 3 month mark. Doing well overall - i am down 40 lbs and just this month i have really started exercising. I walk 2 miles every morning before work and i got a Nike Fuelband and this is keeping me motivated. I really thought that the weight would come off faster - but at least it is consistently coming off. I feel like I can eat A LOT... a lot more than that 1/2 cup they said I would be able to eat. That being said, Im not overly hungry so i think i am still having "head" hunger and am trying to get my arms around that. Also - gettin the Protein in is hit or miss. 60-80 grams is a lot.. would love to know how you all are doing it.

I had surgery on the 2nd of April and my process has gone pretty smoothly. No complications. As of last Wednesday I was down 50 lbs. Starting weight of 271 current 221. I'm 5' 10'. Overall I am happy with my progress. I had some weeks where I would loose only 1 lb and some when I lost 4-6 lbs. I have no idea why this happened. I can't find any trend that would cause this. As far as my hunger goes, it's weird sometimes I feel like I can eat everything and then other times I barely eat and am satisfied. I do indulge in small amounts of goodies at times like Gummy bears, twizzlers, sherbert, etc... But even on those days I only have small amounts and still don't go over my 800 calories a day. I try to exercise 3-4 times a week. I do step aerobics mostly or walk. I use the my fitness app and a fitbit flex to help keep me accountable for my activity and food. My Protein intake is around 40-60 a day. I drink a Syntax nectar Protein Drink everyday so that gives me 25 g. I also started juicing and drink a juice everyday. They sometimes have a lot of carbs in them so I stopped paying attention to my carb intake. :/. I also stopped taking my Vitamins religiously. I kind of take them here and there. I have my 3 month check up next week so I hope my levels are ok. I just hope I continue to loose weight. I'm scared I will fail and regain my weight.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
