August Calendar for August Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved August 18! I lost 24 lbs pre-surgey and have lost 16 since my operation. How am I doing?!

Also, I don't know how to get the fun charts to show up under my responses =(

I don't think someone else can say how you are doing based on pounds lost from time of surgery. We are all going to lose at such different rates.

16 pounds (plus 24) sounds amazing to me. I just try to remember how much of a struggle it has been my whole life to lose even a few pounds and keep it off, and I'm going to Celebrate every pound!

Sleeved Aug 20. Down 16 pounds. The scale has been stuck for days at the same weight. I felt great up until about 5 days ago. A strange and intense pain started in my left side about 2 inches left of my belly button. It's been keeping me pretty much seated for the last 3 days. Anyone else experiencing this?

I feel you! I finally feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm trying to keep the most positive attitude I can. I told my surgeon I'm determined to be his best patient haha. I got my period the second week and gained 5 lbs back and was really upset ... Then I decided I'm only going to weigh myself once a week. The pounds will come off if I stick to the program, so I'm trying to stop putting so much weight in the scale (pun intended! hah)

I made my husband hide the scale! I get it back tomorrow morning for my first post-op weigh in. I'm going to do my very best to weigh once a week as well.

My date was 8/18. The past week has been the best I have felt.

I was 8/18 as well and I agree with you! Finally feel like I can take bigger gulps of Water, I have more confidence in trying newer foods, too. I've been scared about that haha.

      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.
