6 week roll call! Sleeved 1/20/15



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is 6 weeks for me! I am 32 lbs down and it feels fabulous! My weight loss has slowed/plateaued for almost 2 weeks. Beginning to walk on the treadmill at night. My goal is 30 minutes x4 a week. I can tolerate any food!! Are any of you stalling? How did you overcome? How are you dealing at 6 weeks!

I am and it's driving me nuts. I stalled at week three and then week five I dropped ten. Now I'm on week seven and I feel like I'm stalling again. I'm losing a pound here or there. Maybe my expectations are off! I know I don't want to lose it too fast. All together from pre surgery to after surgery I've lost 35 which is amazing...I know!

I can tolerate any food also, but I'm doing really good to not introduce bad stuff back into my new stomach and life!

I'm getting in 4 miles of walking at least three times a week. I want to get a trainer again and join a gym, so more to come!

Hello everyone ! My name is Quiona and I am 24 years old. My sleeves birthday is January 29th. Just the other day we celebrated 1month ... I am beyond happy with my procedure. I am down over 40lbs and the changes to my body are drastic. As far as food I've been able to tolerate whatever I decide to eat. I don't do carbs, sugars or fat(by choice) . I eat crackers though. I go to the gym twice a day for a total of 4 hours and every morning before I head to the gym I walk my dog for 3miles. I think the surgery has been one of the best decisions I've made in my life! I'm posting two pictures for some motivation for others . Good luck on your journey !post-249050-14255272322486_thumb.jpg post-249050-14255272585816_thumb.jpg

Am I doing something wrong. I find it hard to believe that 800 calories is enough to sustain my weight. My clothes fit well but I am dying to get to my 150 goal. Any advice?

Jan 24 was my surg. I have 60 lb to lose and am at 25. Its moving slowly but I believe that being at @ 1/3 of goal at 6 wks out is ok.? Thoughts? Trying not to sweat the numbers. Getting smaller, clothes starting to hang. I am struggling w water! I know that can make the all the difference. Look forward to your thoughts.

      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.
