June 2014 Sleevers Check In!



Recommended Posts

I went to the gym and did a full arm workout and then did 20 minutes on the treadmill. It felt so good to finally get to do something besides just walking. Today is legs so hope it goes just as well. :)

Hi all. I go for my 6 week follow up on Monday. Will update everyone as soon as I get home. Feeling good. Been using treadmill and doing some arm exercises. Hopefully doctor will let me start working on legs and abdomen.

Hi I have a rather curious question if anyone knows: what happens if one eats chicken three weeks post-op? What effects does it take on the pouch and staple line?

I ate chicken a couple weeks post surgery. First puréed and then very well chewed. No problems.

I was allowed to eat chicken 3 days post op, just had to be fine, like put in the food processor. Now 5 weeks out, I can eat grilled chicken , just chew it well, you'll be just fine.

Thanks for the response, I greatly appreciate it. Living in a foreign land makes it difficult for me to attend support groups like we have back home(Texas) I really appreciate this site!

My surgery was on June 4 and I have the same problem. I was stalled for 3 weeks after losing about 17 lbs my first 2 weeks. It was just a few days ago that the scale went down 3 lbs, yesterday it was back up by 3 lbs and then today it was down 4 lbs. I know weighing myself everyday is a bad idea but I can't seem to stop doing that! It is very frustrating. I have another post op appt w my doc on Thursday so not sure what she will say. Based on what I have read here it will probably be to just keep a food diary, exercise and be patient! It is very hard to do though.

i had surgery on 6/18. I know it's hard not to weigh every day but it's the only way to have sanity about this process.

What if I'm taking in less than 500 calories per day and still losing slow? I Aldo walk 5-7 days per week 3-5 miles per day? Its tough but eventually the scales will again. Had a rude co worker ask me.....so when are you gonna start seeing results from your surgery? Lol! I told her my weight and its within 20 pounds of hers......wonder how slow she'll think it is once I lose 30-40 more pounds. Patience is key, I suppose.

Its one of the reasons I prefer not to tell people beforehand......its like everyday they see you, the expect for you to have lost 20 more pounds or lose at their pace. Last I checked this was my journey. I'm so glad to have bariatricpal as a resource to communicate with people going through the same things I'm going through. I had lapband in 07 and only lost 40-50 pounds, now 7 years later revised to gastric sleeve and its been exciting and scary at the same time. I just keep praying and doing what the doctor says....hopefully this time will be successful.

      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.
