June 2014 Sleevers Check In!



Recommended Posts

My surgery was June 17th. I like your comment about your tummy feeling uncomfortable. I certainly can relate. It is real touch and go for each meal. Sometimes food goes down well, but most times I am just not accepting food like I hoped I could. It feel overly full and just uncomfortable, often with the first bite! I have learned that cold food goes down much better than hot or warm food. I make a chicken salad with ground up chicken leg and thigh meat with celery, pickle relish and onion, and then after mixed together I add a bit of light mayo. That goop on a tiny cracker of some kind has become my go to for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is my worst meal. Tummy is not happy in the morning! Usually just do a Protein drink of some sort.

Sometimes I just for go eating. Just not worth the uncomfortable feeling I get when I eat. :-(

HW - 226

CW - 183

Total weight lost to date = 43.

My three month follow up was this past Tuesday! I started at 332 and I am down to 275! I have lost 57 in the past three months. I am now going to the gym every other day and I can now run for three minutes on the treadmill! I traveled to Vegas the other day and I didn't need a seatbelt extender and that was nice! I feel like this was the best decision I ever made! Keep up the great work team!

I started at 332 as well! I had my first visit with the surgeon on March 27th, I lost 48 pounds between then and sleeve surgery on June 9th, and I have lost 73 more, making my total 121 down! Hope you're still doing great!

Surgery June 2nd

My BMI now is at a healthy weight. Down 88 from surgery and 104 from my high weight. 10 pounds to my surgery goal. I plan on loosing more for my personal goal.

My health is amazing. I now love physical activity's. I jogged a 5K. It was strange to pass people that I see as very athletic. I'm still trying to see myself as a thinner person.

New years is almost here. So much to Celebrate.

I am doing well with my weight loss. Down 65 #s and coming in at 161 at today's weight. I have been a slow loser but really never been disappointed with that. Slow and steady it is! Went from 2X tops to size Large. Jeans are now side 10! I will never complain about those stats! My goal is 140-150. I will get there eventually. Here's to 2015 and a continued journey of my new lifestyle! Good luck to all of you!

Had my sleeve done June 2, 2014. I have lost 59 pounds so far!!! Finally in a size 10. I tried on a size 8 the other day, and they almost fit. The only thing I can't do yet is zip them up. Anyobne have any suggestions for getting rid of the excess flad under my arms and on my abdomen? I do zumba every week and I have a workout routine I do but just can't seem to lose the flab.

Also, congrats to everyone on their continued success!!!!WTG!!!!!

      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.
