April Sleevers! Where are you at in your Journey?



Recommended Posts

I am doing well and very happy with my progress.

I joined the local wellness center and have been swimming three to five times a week.

I am feeling good and becoming more mobile.

I'm doing good! Down 92 lbs...hoping to hit 100 by Dec 31st! I am noticing it is definitely easier to eat but still losing so that's good! I still have weird things that make me sick like cold milk but dr says it's normal ????.

How's everyone else doing?

Not gaining, that's the good news but have slowed down. I am 71 lbs down from date of surgery and 86 lbs from this time last year. Woohoo!!!

I'm down to 195... not exactly where I wanted to be at this stage of my weight-loss and still hoping to lose more. I recently notice that I don't get sick as much and I hungry more often which makes me nervous... I just don't want to fall back into old habits.

Sounds like everyone is doing great!

I am down about 160, but more importantly I am regaining my mobility and my life!

I am swimming laps regularly and am able to swim longer and faster than I have in years.

I'm doing well. Weightless has definitely slowed to a crawl since returning to the gym in September. It's taken me 3 months to lose 15lbs! But I'm down 70lbs since surgery and 135lbs from my highest weight. I still have a long way to go, but I feel confident I'll get there eventually. I have to keep telling myself this isn't a sprint. ????

@@CapeMom3 There are many brands out there and trust me after surgery your taste buds are going to be different so prepare yourself carefully. What you like now you may not like after surgery. Watch the sugar content in your shakes as I have found for me after surgery anything that had a sugar content of more then 3 grams was to sweet. Good luck to you.

      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.
