November 2015 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Where are my November sleeve buddies? I'd like to connect with folks going through similar stages together so that we can support and learn from each other.

Sleeved on 11/9 here. I'm still learning what I can and can't eat. And I've never been able to get in the 100 oz of liquids I was told to drink daily. I aim for 50 and am happy if I can surpass that.

Sleeved Nov 13. Just as all of you have already said, there is a lot of getting to know my sleeve going on. It is weird, I will think a food is good as it my sleeve is ok with it and the next time I have it I will vomit.

Right now my focus is on increasing my workout's intensity. Luckily I have a bike and elliptical at home for this extended break, but the gym bag is already packed and ready to go for the new year.

Hi fellow November sleevers! I was sleeved 11/18/15 & have been a very slow loser. Started incorporating cardio and have been eating lots of Protein. I'm able to get 64oz of Water in daily but don't like the taste of water lol. One thing I'm suffering from is I wake up with headaches every morning. It's not dehydration but I don't know what it is.

I got the Sleeve on 11/5. Diet is pretty much unrestricted, I find my go to is chicken, tuna and Protein shakes. Just started drinking wine and booze again over Christmas, and noticed my tolerance is a lot less. I have already lost 58lbs and hitting the gym again everyday.

Sleeved 11/25/15 started 8/4/15 250 lbs date of surgery 228.8, currently 201.8. Have been walking on my treadmill till 4 weeks post up, also using albs weights for arm exercise, but at 4 weeks started with approval of physician swimming, 15 swimming and 30 min now at 45 min aqua exercise and walking, love that, great for everything Water is great protects your joints and toning muscle, go every day before work since I started Saturday one week ago have not missed a day yet, hard to go, but feel great afterwards. Ok with 64 ounces of Water, ok with Protein 60-80 gram, but hard to get anything else in regarding fruits and vegetables. Have eaten very well cooked brocolli and carrots and apple sauce, but many days since I started soft foods just enough to deal with Protein, eating cottage cheese and 1 cheese stick for Breakfast, or yogurt, lunch chicken, tuna or sometimes lox same for dinner.

I wanted to respond to SCARLAP but did not see a reply button, I have a f.u with my physician at 6 weeks which will be this wednesday and waiting for approval to start hula hooping, i was thinking that might be something when allowed by physician that you want to try. It is great for toning and cardio and not as expensive to buy as many exercise machines. You can look on line, just make sure that you have one that is the right size, not a childs one. It will maybe take a little time to be able to do this, but most people can learn it. Also 5 lbs dumb bell weights are great as well as ankle weights, which you can use when walking in your home or out with stroller.

Good luck!

Nov 18th here. Daily struggle trying to decide what to eat. My nut says no Pasta, bread, rice until day 120. I'm wondering if that's more for the weight loss aspect. I really want some cous cous. Lol

      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.
