CHECK IN! Week of October 31, 2014 sleevers!

[mnmlst 249]

Any other late October / early November sleevers out there who want to check in? How are you doing? When was your surgery date? What's going on in your sleeved life right now?

My date was October 31. I am doing ok. Still really feeling the restriction and having a lot of pain when I eat to fast or don't chew my food well enough.

My doctor fast tracks his healthy patients to real food, so I've been on soft/purees for a week and am moving to regular food. Most of the time it goes pretty well. I am learning what I can and can't tolerate.

Weight loss is good -- down 15 lbs since surgery for a total of 35 lbs down since my first day of pre-op. I am fearfully awaiting the 3 week stall. I really want a loss of 20 lbs for my first month, but I think I won't get it. This Friday marks my 3rd week post-op.

Any issues? Concerns? Cheers?

I went below my pre-pregnancy weight this week! I am beyond thrilled. Still can't get into my pre-pregnancy jeans, tho.

That's all for now! Hope to hear from everyone soon!

@mnmlst I was sleeved on October 28th, 2014 and I have lost a total of 17lbs since surgery. I have hit the dreaded 3 week stall. I have loast any weight since November 9th.

I am trying to be happy but I keep feeling like I am going to fail. I wish I knew when this stupid stall was going to be over.

Other than that, no complications. I am back at work and working out.

Its nice to hear how everyone is doing!

So I was sleeved Nov 3rd. Doing well! I am down about 25 lbs since surgery, making my total about 60 lbs since the beginning of my journey in July. Sick of the pureed phase though! I am really excited that I get to start some bites of real food next Monday.
