Morning ~ Sleeved 3/17/14



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Just wanted to say hello I'm not on the boards as much as I'd like to be, but wanted to find some others who were sleeved around the same time.

I'm Kelly, I was sleeved on 3/17/14. Not having any issues, IF I remember to eat slow enough :)
I've lost 29 lbs since surgery. scale hasn't moved much in the last week or so, BUT, I was able to fit into the smallest pants I have in the closet, Size 16 - whoo hoo, which is great considering I started in a 24.

Everyone have a great day! :)

How in the world did you go from a size 24 to a size 16 by losing 29 lbs? That's like a size and a half for me lol. I am short, five feet two, my weight is about 238 and I wear a 20 comfortably. To be in a 16 I would probably have to weigh about 195-200 lbs. 29 lbs. lost is good, I'm looking forward to losing!

Mentalistfan, I said I could put them on...LOL, wearing them to sit in all day will probably be another 10 lbs.

I'm short too 5' 3", but I carry most all my weight in my stomach, not my hips/butt/legs. And as we all know, no two sizes are ever the same, a 20 in Gloria Vanderbilt is different than a Lee 20.

You are doing to do great!! :)

      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.
