May sleevers

[Wblackfin 6]

I am just shy of 1 month out, having been sleeved on 5/6. My concern as strange as it might seem is that I am adopting too well. Lost 15lbs with 2 weeks pre-op prep and an additional 25lbs post-op. I seem to tolerate everything I have tried to eat. I started eating reduced fat cottage cheese (small curd well chewed) just 2 1/2 weeks post-op. 3 weeks post-op I've been eating tuna salad, poached eggs, quinoa with feta salad etc. The shakes (premier protein) are now only satisfying me for an hour or so. I'm Having some trouble keeping my daily calorie intake to 800 as recommended by my nutritionist. My weight loss has seemed to stall for the past week. I almost wish that I was not adopting so well, so as to maintain the rapid post surgery weight loss for a longer period. There are times of the day that my stomach is grumbling due to hunger. I also realize that my brain sometimes has trouble differentiating between hunger pains and other stomach pain! Worried about how I will react 3-4 months post-op if things are to easy now!

Hi, I'm going on 2 weeks post op and am on pureed foods for next two weeks. I have a challenge coming up on Monday -- my first day back to work. We have a work function at a park with lunch being provided. ANY SUGGESTIONS on what I can do? My coworkers are not privy to my personal business . Thanks!!

Hey all,

I was sleeved on May 26 and I am down a total of 19 lbs from highest of 312. I had a very difficult time losing weight on pre-op diet. I had such a hard time losing, period! My metabolism was so effed up from yoyo dieting, and meds I was on.

Good to hear from everyone.

I am May 26 also.

May 11th was my big day. I lost 21 pounds in the first 2 weeks, this Monday I will be 4 weeks out and I have been eating soft foods. I to have been having issues with getting enough Water and Protein. I will not be going back to work for a few more weeks(I have great benefits) My 4 week check up is this Tuesday and I will step on the scale then. I am having a hard time not over eating. I have made myself real uncomfortable a few times. I have been working with a nutritionist and a shrink. Learning to eat all over again is a little over whelming at times. I just look forward to being pain free!!

My scaled was stalled for two weeks... Dietician said make sure I was getting my Protein. Started really focusing on the protein and viola! I lost 5lbs this week. My new Protein Drink of choice- syntax nectar. I've only tried the strawberry kiwi but my friends (non bariatric) drink them too and like the lemonade

@@Lillypad glad I'm not the only one who did that How are you doing with the eating habits now?

[Lillypad 8]

@@jordantaylor well I'm still technically on full liquids. Yesterday I ate a slice of thin turkey with cheese. I have been way too hungry. I felt so much better after. Dr should clear me Thursday officially. I just couldn't wait lol

Hi, I was sleeved on 5/20 and I feel great (despite the fatigue). I am already on solids... is anyone else there yet? Liquids were hurting me so my surgeons PA suggested I move along to solids, since it's rare, but some people do better with it opposed to thin liquids. And now I'm not having any issues with any of the foods I am eating. I am really surprised this whole process is as easy as its been.

Last week I had a slight stall which worried me. I was stuck at 212 for 5 days and then this morning it broke and I was down 4 lbs overnight..... it felt good and made me realize that these stalls I have heard so much about, are real.

Good Luck Everyone!!

Sleeved May 20th, what portion sizes are you eating?

I don't measure, I let my body tell me when to stop. But I would estimate I am close to .5-.75 cup of soft (like cottege cheese) or approx 3oz of solids (like chicken and beans). I've experienced eating 1 too many bites once, and once you feel that, you will be sure not to do it again!!! It's a terrible feeling.
