December sleevers

[JustJaime5 32]

@ronab. I have the same issue. Ever since the surgery I have been starving. Since I started eating solid foods I now go from being full so fast to starving. The nutritionist said at the support meeting if you're hungry after two hours you're not eating enough and if you're not hungry after 4 hours you're eating too much.

I just can't get in anymore food when I do eat but I'm hungry...like really hungry... every two hours!!!

I was looking forward to that reported feeling of never being hungry

Sleeved on 12/16 .....have had absolutely no issues other than my taste and smell has been screwed up, but it coming back. Started at 259lbs and im stuck at 233.....have been there since mid January. No problems eating, but blown away with these people claiming only to be able to eat "2 baby spoonfuls" of food. Heck, i can eat an entire can of soup.....i move to stage 4 menu on the 16th, but have no desire to do so. Ive learned to like my Premier Protein chocolate shake each day and applesauce (unsweetened). I haven't experienced any pain. Im able to do what i want ( and have since the day i came home from the hospital (12/17).....this "stall" is giving me fits though....im so ready to drop some more weight.

Glad I finally found other December sleevers. It's been a crazy journey. Down 27 pounds since surgery on 12/30. Seem to be in my second stall. Eating normally, but struggling to get liquid down.

Curious if anyone else is loosing really slowly now? I was losing a pound ever other day. Now I have only lost five pounds in a month. Something doesn't seem right. Would love some advice.

I'm on my second stall and I'm going crazy. I've started the gym three times a week so I'm hoping that helps. I'm on soft solids but still eat mostly mushies with boiled or grilled chicken thrown in there.

@@krismess8980 I'm also on my second stall =( been at the same weight for a week and 3 days. I've been cleared to eat all foods, but still can't hold down much meat/poultry, and tend to eat mainly soft foods because I have a hard time with hard foods.

@@Big_Mama it's so frustrating. I try not to weigh myself every day but I can't help it. I want to see those numbers move. I've decided to weigh myself on the days I go to the gym. Three times a week is plenty I think.

[Big_Mama 511]

Lol I hear you! I weigh myself constantly. Before & after. .. I use the bathroom, shower, eat, with and without clothes.. practically every time I'm in the bathroom! =/ I'm obsessed with it, it's horrible! I won't weight myself at the gym though, because that scale is off! Lol

Big mama, I'm with you! I weigh myself multiple times a day. So not dropping weight as quickly as before is killing me! Oh well, I decided that I need to get my ass up every weekday morning and work out. Need to get all I can out of this surgery. ????

Sleeved 12/29/14 and hit a few stalls. Have lost 34 lbs and of course wish it was more. Getting bored with shakes Water and deli meat. Need to change it up but don't really know how. Any ideas?

[tfarr 270]

I was sleeved dec 2 and am down 63 lbs.

I was given the go ahead to eat and consistently now. Fruits and veggies!

I am struggling Though. Nothing bothers my sleeve, not one dang thing! I wish something did. I eat apples with the skin. Sweet potatoes with skin. No pains or anything. It's good , but bad ya know? I ate Peanut Butter for the first time and wanted it to not agree with me, but it did

I am really in a not so good spot right now, it's not even 3 months

Depression, I'm sure of it

[HealthArtLove 13]

@@tfarr, why are you depressed? You have lost an amazing amount of weight and you have no side effects.

[truckeelove 2]

I was sleeved on the 29th has anyone started eating Nuts yet? I would love one of my old Protein bars!

I have the same question about Jerky and the dreaded popcorn.< /p>

[truckeelove 2]

I've tried almonds and turkey jerkey both went down fine. Enjoy!

Depression is no joke... I'm so sorry!! Do you have someone to talk to? Maybe even a support group with other people who've been through surgery in your area? Especially since we can no longer go to the things that used to make us "happy" (i.e. eating) finding emotional support and new things to enjoy are so important!! Hang in there!!!
